OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, based in Cardiff, UK, has awarded a contract for OraSure, OraQuick Hepatitis C antibody, Point of Care test using a limited procurement method. The award procedure justified not publishing a call for competition due to the unique technology requirements and lack of alternative suppliers. The procurement stage was completed with a contract value of £180,000 signed on 16th March 2023.

This procurement opportunity for the OraQuick HCV test presents a niche market for suppliers with expertise in medical diagnostics and rapid testing technologies. Businesses capable of providing the specific components of the OraQuick HCV test, such as the CE marked technology, absorbent packets, and quality control reagents, tailored to healthcare settings, would be well-suited to compete. The cancellation of the previous tender signals a proactive approach by the buying organisation to ensure quality outcomes in public health services delivery.
