## Summary

The procurement process involves the Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC), which is procuring IT Supplies valued at £29,000. This procurement falls under the Computer equipment and supplies category and is located in England. It has reached the Award stage, with the contract having been awarded on 25th May 2020. The contract period runs from 27th May 2020 to 31st May 2020, and the procurement method used was limited, specifically awarding the contract without prior publication of a contract notice due to the urgency created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which can provide IT supplies and related accessories. Companies that can swiftly fulfil IT requirements and have experience in supporting governmental health initiatives may find this a suitable opportunity to expand their business and establish a working relationship with MDC and similar organisations within the public sector.

## Notice

Purchase of IT supplies and accessories related to the establishment of a Lighthouse laboratory as part of the UK Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its response to COVID-19 and with only days available, MDC, on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care, is entering into contracts without competition or advertising the requirement. In accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and Procurement Policy Note 01/20, the following tests have been met: * There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency - the response to the COVID-19 consequences needs to be immediate because of public health risks. * The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseen - the COVID-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something that MDC could have predicted. * It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the Public Contract Regulations (2015) - there is no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation, nor does the MDC have access to an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system. The situation is not attributable to the MDC - MDC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency. There are also reasons of compatibility with existing equipment associated with this purchase.
