## Summary

Cheshire East Council has completed a public procurement process for the "Covid Mobile Testing Units - Sodexo - Dynamic Response Team" contract, which falls under the health services category. This contract, valued at up to £515,000, aims to provide Covid-19 testing services to support local residents and businesses across the North West of England. The initiative is part of the Test Trace Contain Enable programme, critical for the Council’s de-escalation strategy. The tender period ended on 12 February 2021, with the contract set to commence on 8 March 2021 and last until 7 September 2021. This procurement was conducted through a direct method as a single tender action due to its value being below the threshold.

This tender opportunity is particularly suited for companies specialising in health services, testing solutions, or public health initiatives. The contract's scope for mobile testing teams opens up avenues for businesses looking to expand their service capabilities, especially in managing public health crises. Suppliers capable of delivering efficient and adaptable testing solutions can leverage this contract to enhance their visibility and establish long-term relationships with local government entities.

## Notice

Test Trace Contain Enable (TTCE) programme needs to deliver a significant amount of Covid-19 testing to support local residents and businesses. Delivering a strong testing programme is a key part of Cheshire East's de-escalation strategy and due to the widespread geography, this contract will enable Cheshire East Council to implement two testing teams who will travel to different locations around the borough offering lateral flow testing.
