## Summary

The procurement process for the purchase of a Rotor-Gene system was initiated by Public Health England, aimed at supporting laboratories due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak. The contract, valued at £150,000, falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, and was awarded to Qiagen Ltd. The open procurement method was employed, with the tender period closing on 24th June 2020 and the contract period running from 7th July 2020 to 6th July 2021, covering delivery across the United Kingdom and abroad.

This tender represents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in significant public sector contracts. Businesses that specialise in laboratory equipment and related technologies would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The emphasis on responsive and innovative solutions to public health needs offers potential for these companies to expand their market reach and contribute to essential services during critical times.
