Lot Information
Lot 1
Multi-lot Procurement for the supply of
- Diagnostics
UKCA/CE Marked and MHRA approved Diagnostics equipment, consumables and maintenance supplies and related services
- Research and Development
Equipment, maintenance, consumables, products and services for the purpose of research, experimentation, study or development. Additional information: UK Health Security Agency as the contracting authority is putting in place an open framework for diagnostics and research equipment, consumables and related services.
This framework will be used to support UKHSA core functions across its diagnostics and research activities. For more information see UKHSA 10 year science strategy - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukhsa-science-strategy-2023-to-2033-securing-health-and-prosperity
The framework is intended to be accessed by UK Public Sector bodies including UKHSA, the Department of Health and Social Care, Public Health Wales, Public Health Scotland, NHS Authorities and Trusts, Special Health Authorities, Local Authorities and any other NHS entity or successor body. (A complete list of NHS Authorities and Trusts and special health authorities can be found here: NHS England " NHS provider directory). The framework can also be accessed by academic and charitable institutions.
The framework value range is an estimate only and the values may vary dependent on the requirements of UKHSA and the other authorities who may choose to participate and purchase supplies and services over the life of the framework agreement. The framework value range of PS5,000,000,000 GBP is an approximate estimate only.
The actual values will be to such level as those purchasing under the Open Framework consider necessary to provide suitable requirements. UKHSA works with DHSC and the NHS in its role as a national and international emergency responder to current and emerging threats to public health. As demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the exact nature, timing and escalation of such threats (and the corresponding required responses) can be difficult to foresee, making any exercise in future value estimation unpredictable.
The date listed as the "estimated date of publication of contract notice" is the date that UKHSA believes it will be able to start the tendering process. This date may be subject to change following feedback from suppliers regarding when they believe the market is in a position for a tender to submit tenders.
UKHSA welcomes expressions of interest from SMEs and niche suppliers.
All interested suppliers are required to register on the UKHSA eTendering Portal. All communications from suppliers must be sent through this platform. All information on future engagement events will be provided through this portal.
