## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) has completed a procurement process for a Lateral Flow Testing Framework Agreement, specifically for the second call-off. This initiative, classified under the CPV code for Diagnostic kits, was aimed at addressing urgent supply needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement method employed was selective, facilitating a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 25 February 2021, with the contract lasting from 26 February 2021 to 31 March 2021, and the awarded contract value amounts to £136,800,000. The procurement took place in London, United Kingdom, and was conducted under an accelerated basis due to the exceptional circumstances of the public health crisis.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the medical supplies sector, particularly those specialising in diagnostic kits. Companies that are well-equipped to engage in such procurement processes include large suppliers who can manage substantial contract values and quickly scale operations in response to urgent public health needs. As the pandemic continues to create demand for testing solutions, businesses positioned in the healthcare and diagnostic industries may benefit from actively pursuing similar opportunities to expand their market presence and support national health initiatives.

## Notice

In light of the urgent requirement and as part of national measures to deal with the covid-19 pandemic, DHSC has a requirement for the supply of Lateral Flow Testing Kits. The procurement has appointed bidders to the framework. The procurement was undertaken on an accelerated basis (Regulation 27(5) PCR). This is the second call-off from the Framework Agreement Due to system changes made by Contracts Finder and the fact that this contract has been signed by the contracting authority with retrospective effect, the contract award date reported in the Awarded Information Section refers to the day before the services commenced as opposed to the date on which the contract was signed.
