Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Winter Bundle Testing Kits has been conducted by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public central government authority. This process falls under the industry category of laboratory reagents and laboratory services and involves bulk purchasing to save on costs. The procurement was executed via direct award due to existing supplier relationships and intellectual property considerations, ensuring timely delivery during the winter period. The awarding of the contract to Cepheid UK Limited was recently completed, with the award notice published on 4th September 2025. The contract is valued at approximately £259,000, with a gross amount of £310,800, covering a delivery period from 16th September to 30th September 2025 across several UK regions.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing and supply of medical testing kits, especially those capable of fulfilling bulk orders directly to healthcare facilities. Companies similar to Cepheid UK Limited, which already have established frameworks with NHS entities or possess proven expertise in supplying verified laboratory reagents and services, would be well-suited to compete in such procurements. There is potential for businesses to expand their operations through strategic partnerships with public health institutions, delivering critical supplies efficiently and fostering innovation in medical diagnostics.
