## Summary

The procurement process for COVID-19 testing equipment and consumables, titled "Innovation - Samba COVID19 Testing Equipment and Consumables," was conducted by the Department of Health and Social Care. This tender falls under the category of diagnostics and radiodiagnostic devices, with a total contract value of £20,368,060. The contract period commenced on 13th May 2020 and is set to conclude on 5th February 2022. This procurement used a limited method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, reflecting the urgency and necessity of obtaining rapid on-site testing solutions to support the reopening of vital services in the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical diagnostics, equipment manufacturing, and supply chain logistics. Companies that focus on innovative healthcare solutions, particularly those with the capability to provide rapid testing technologies and related consumables, would find themselves well-positioned to engage in competitive tenders of this nature. The fast-tracked procurement process suggests a need for nimble suppliers who can meet stringent requirements swiftly and effectively.

## Notice

These test kits allow for field use in hospitals enabling the rapid on-site Point of Care (POC) testing for C-19 and have significant operational advantages over off-site Laboratory testing as they allow for virtually immediate test results without the delay of sending them to testing laboratories, thereby allowing for the safe reopening of vital services and reducing the economic damage being caused by the lockdown by allowing people to return to work confident in knowing that they are not carriers.
