## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has completed a procurement process for the supply of raw materials for the manufacture of lateral flow tests, which includes Nitrocellulose, Sample and Sink Pad membranes, Conjugate Pads, and specific Reagents. This contract, valued at £5,300,000, was part of a limited procurement method, specifically following a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to its threshold value. The contract period commenced on 24th December 2020 and concluded on 31st March 2021. The tender's primary industry category is Diagnostic kits, with deliveries specified across various UK locations and beyond.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing diagnostic tools and medical supplies. Companies specialising in the production of raw materials used in medical testing or those with capabilities to supply components for lateral flow tests would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Given the specialised nature of the products required, suppliers with expertise in efficient sourcing and distribution of medical-grade materials may also find opportunities for growth through collaborations with public sector entities like the Department of Health and Social Care.
