## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) has recently completed a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Lateral Flow Testing Framework Agreement - First call-off," aimed at meeting urgent supply needs amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. This procurement, classified under the industry category of Diagnostic kits (CPV code 33141625), was conducted using a selective procurement method. The call-off contract is valued at £136,704,525 and covers a delivery period from 18 February 2021 to 31 March 2021. The tender period closed on 17 February 2021 in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and medical supplies sector, particularly those involved in the manufacture or supply of diagnostic testing kits. Companies with capabilities to supply large quantities of high-quality testing equipment and those experienced in rapid delivery on a large scale would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. This award highlights the urgency and importance of swift procurement processes in the public health domain, especially during times of crisis.

The procurement has appointed bidders to the framework. The procurement was undertaken on an accelerated basis (Regulation 27(5) PCR). This is the first call-off from the Framework Agreement.
