## Summary

The UK Biocentre Ltd, located in Milton Keynes, is proceeding with a procurement process for clinical waste removal services specifically related to waste generated from Covid-19 testing. This tender, titled "Clinical waste removal services for waste generated by Covid-19 testing," has an award value of £1,317,101 and is classified under the CPV category 90524100. The contract period spans from 11th September 2020 to 11th March 2021, with the tender stage marked as complete since 3rd November 2020. Interested parties were required to submit their proposals before the tender period's end date of 23rd July 2020.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in clinical waste management and disposal services, particularly those that can efficiently handle increased volumes stemming from health emergencies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria that favour their involvement. As organisations like the UK Biocentre expand their operations in response to public health needs, suppliers with innovative solutions and robust logistical capabilities may find lucrative growth prospects in this tender.

## Notice

UK Biocentre's laboratories in Milton Keynes are being used to analyse swab samples to support the national effort against the coronavirus pandemic. They are one of the three Lighthouse Labs - the biggest network of diagnostic testing facilities our country has ever seen.Operations have expanded rapidly to analyse swab samples to determine whether COVID-19 is present. We have repurposed existing laboratories and built new ones to provide the capacity required for such a significant undertaking.As a by-product of the increased testing, the amount of clinical waste generated at UK Biocentre has increased, and the existing contract in place does not support the volumes required by the Covid-19 testing. This tender is being run to manage clinical waste generated through Covid-19 testing only.
