## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) is conducting a procurement process for the Lateral Flow Testing Framework Agreement, focusing on the supply of diagnostic kits in response to urgent national needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This procurement is currently at the Award stage, with a total contract value of £91,520,000. The tender closed on 25th February 2021, and the contract commenced on 26th February 2021, running until 31st March 2021. The delivery addresses are situated in the United Kingdom, and the procurement method used was a selective process via a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the healthcare and diagnostic supplies sector, particularly for suppliers of lateral flow testing kits. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include those with the capacity to fulfil large-scale orders and those experienced in public health contracts. Given the urgent nature of the procurement, companies that can demonstrate reliability, compliance, and swift delivery will be particularly competitive in this landscape.

## Notice

In light of the urgent requirement and as part of national measures to deal with the covid-19 pandemic, DHSC has a requirement for the supply of Lateral Flow Testing Kits. The procurement has appointed bidders to the framework. The procurement was undertaken on an accelerated basis (Regulation 27(5) PCR). This is the second call-off from the Framework Agreement Due to system changes made by Contracts Finder and the fact that this contract has been signed by the contracting authority with retrospective effect, the contract award date reported in the Awarded Information Section refers to the day before the services commenced as opposed to the date on which the contract was signed.
