## Summary

The University of Nottingham is seeking to fulfil a procurement need through a direct tender for the supply of 250ml UltraPlex 1-Step ToughMix (4X), essential for COVID-19 testing activities. The procurement, classified under the medical equipment category, valued at £48,000, has already moved to the award stage as of 22 February 2022, with the award notice published on 23 June 2022. The items will be delivered to the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical supply sector, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can efficiently provide the specific products required. Companies that specialise in the production or distribution of medical testing supplies would be particularly well-suited to enter into competition for this contract, given the critical nature of the goods involved and the ongoing demand for reliable COVID-19 testing resources.

## Notice

There is a single distributor with the rights to sell this item (VWR) it is also for continuity as we would not be able to switch to a different product, and this item is also for COVID-19 testing and we require it for the continued running of the UoN COVID asymptomatic testing service and is critical to sample testing. The Quantabio Toughmix qPCR mastermix must specifically be used in the assay we perform, no alternative master mix can be used as this is stipulated by the Centre for Disease control protocol with which we adhere.
