This national service is designed to control the virus and enable people to live a safer and more normal life. The overarching guiding principles being Test; Trace; Contain; Enable. * The NHS Test and Trace Service will work as a proposed 3 tier system; Tier 1 is of relevance for the local testing system * Tier 1 will be a regionalised network, including sub-regional and localised delivery providing contact tracing, consequence management and support in relation to complex settings, cohorts and individuals / households. * Local planning and response will be the key to allowing the national service to work effectively at large scale. * Local outbreak control plans centring on 7 key themes will be developed; and key theme 3 is identified as 'local testing capacity' * The local testing service will need to ensure a swift response that is accessible to the local population (defining how to prioritise and manage deployment) * A key consideration will be the ability of the local testing system to be able to respond swiftly once a complex cluster or setting has been identified through the national NHS Test and Trace initiative or through any other national or local stakeholders; e.g. East of England PHE Centre Aims and Objectives * The objective is to ensure that swift and effective local provision of community swabbing is always available to support the multiagency SARS-CoV-2 outbreak response in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. * The aim will be to build on existing commissioned services (eg: School Nursing, District Nursing) in the creation of the systems and extra capacity required to achieve the objective above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6f5ce975-406a-4503-b0cb-250588c87804 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2020 - 31 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £135,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £135,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIGDESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL AND PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GPDQ | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2020 at 12:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6f5ce975-406a-4503-b0cb-250588c87804 - 14 Sep 2020 at 13:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/30a40fdb-494e-408b-b06e-81bb434f5609 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6f5ce975-406a-4503-b0cb-250588c87804 3rd November 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/30a40fdb-494e-408b-b06e-81bb434f5609 14th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=494bf99a-f7f5-ea11-8105-005056b64545&p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21 Apply online ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
