This procurement falls within the goods category and had a total value of £98,962. The procurement method was a direct tender action, classified as a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 1st December 2019 and concluded on 31st March 2021.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that supply laboratory products, consumables, and reagents. Businesses specialising in clinical goods or related areas could find themselves in a strong position to compete for similar future tenders from PHE or other health-focused organisations, particularly considering the ongoing demand for public health supplies in emergency contexts. Such businesses should capitalise on their ability to respond quickly and effectively to facilitate public health initiatives.
