## Summary

The Western Health & Social Care Trust is seeking suppliers for "Chemagic consumables for CoVID testing," classified under laboratory reagents within the goods category. The procurement method employed is a limited process, specifically negotiated without the publication of a prior contract notice, primarily due to the necessity of sourcing these essential reagents exclusively from the named supplier, PerkinElmer. The contract's value is estimated at £2.5 million over an 18-month period, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The tender was initiated on 10 September 2021, and the anticipated contract signing follows a mandatory standstill period until 1 October 2021. The delivery location is at Altnagelvin Area Hospital in Londonderry, United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the laboratory supplies sector, particularly those focused on medical and health-related products. Companies that specialise in producing or supplying laboratory reagents, especially those with a focus on CoVID testing, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. With the increasing demand for COVID testing materials, suppliers can leverage this opportunity for business growth, potentially establishing long-term relationships with the Western Health & Social Care Trust while supplying essential medical materials to support public health initiatives.
