## Summary

The procurement process is currently in the planning stage and is being conducted by Public Health England, which is based at 61 Colindale Avenue, Colindale, NW9 5EQ, England. The tender, titled "Provision for reagents used for HIV and HCV testing on an Abbott Architect i2000 Platform," aims to secure six types of blood-testing reagents classified under CPV code 33696200. A key milestone in this process is the engagement end date, set for 23rd February 2018, which signifies when feedback will conclude for potential suppliers. The procurement method involves a direct agreement with Abbott laboratories, the sole supplier of the required products.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating within the healthcare supply sector, specifically those who manufacture or distribute blood-testing reagents or similar medical supplies. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not eligible to tender due to the sole supplier arrangement with Abbott, businesses that can fulfil such specific procurement needs will find this a key opportunity to partner within a critical healthcare infrastructure, particularly concerning testing for HIV and HCV.

## Notice

PHE Colindale has a need to purchase 6 types of kits and reagents used in the testing of HIV and HCV on their Architect i2000 platform. Abbott laboratories are the sole supplier of these products. Therefore it is Public Health England's intention to enter into an agreement with Abbott for these products.
