Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership has awarded a contract for the supply of OraSure, OraQuick Hepatitis C antibody, Point of Care test. The procurement process was initiated as a tender and involved goods in the "Automated swab test kits" category. The location of delivery is specified as "All Wales". The procurement method used was a limited procedure with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting authority provided a minimum 10-day standstill period between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.

The award creates an opportunity for business growth for suppliers like CEPHEID UK LTD, who won the contract. The nature of the test, with its high sensitivity and specificity, requires specialised technology that only CE marked suppliers can provide. This restricts the pool of potential suppliers, opening avenues for those who can supply the necessary elements for the rapid antibody test. The test's stringent quality control requirements create a niche opportunity for suppliers who can meet these specific demands and ensure rapid results within the specified timeframe.
