## Summary

The Kirklees Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "KMCPH-027 Kirklees Covid-19 Outreach Testing Service," aimed at enhancing outreach capabilities in response to COVID-19. This service, valued at £687,648, focuses on providing crucial testing solutions including home testing and mobile initiatives across care homes and community settings in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement was carried out through a limited method, avoiding prior publication, and the contract period runs from 5th December 2020 to 31st October 2021, with a tender period that closed on 30th October 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the health and social work services sector, including voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE). Companies that can offer mobile testing, home service solutions, or community outreach strategies would be well-positioned to compete. By addressing gaps in existing COVID-19 testing provisions, businesses fitting this profile can contribute to public health efforts while potentially expanding their market reach and enhancing service delivery in the local community.

## Notice

The Council has a need to commission a Covid-19 Outreach service as the current services available has not proved suitable for everyone in our Kirklees population. We know that outreach testing including home testing, mobile testing for small outbreaks and surveillance testing in care homes and other community settings is required to bridge this gap. Without the COVID-19 Outreach Testing Service there is no provision for outreach testing. A flexible service responsive to local need will be crucial in our local response to outbreak management. A locally commissioned COVID-19 Outreach Testing Service will be required to provide: a. Home testing service (for those unable to attend a drive through Mobile Testing Unit) b. Mobile testing for outbreak response (small) c. Surveillance testing in care homes and other community settings d. Asymptomatic testing as and when needed
