This termination cancels all pending applications, and no new applications will be accepted after 26th October 2023. The procurement was managed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care through the UK Health Security Agency in London. This tender process created opportunities for providers of diagnostic kits to participate in the DPS procurement. The termination of the DPS signifies the closure of this procurement opportunity, tailored specifically for businesses in the goods category, interested in supplying Lateral Flow Testing and Polymerase Chain Reaction Kits. Businesses needing ongoing supply contracts of diagnostic kits would have been suited to engage in this procurement process under selective procurement method with restrictive procedures. ## Notice UKHSA is hereby giving notice of its termination of this DPS. The termination process will commence immediately upon the sending of this message, meaning the DPS Agreement will end on Monday 27th November 2023. From the date of publication (26 October 2023) all pending applications are cancelled and no new applications will be reviewed. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKHSA intends to establish the DPS to help fulfil its requirement for the ongoing supply of additional Lateral Flow Testing (LFT) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Kits. UKHSA is therefore seeking applications from potential providers to be admitted to the DPS. UKHSA envisages that the DPS will be divided into the categories of products (Lots) with differential characteristics for the LFT and PCR lots (more fully described in the relevant Specifications). UKHSA currently intends to run procurements within the DPS to seek tenders from those providers who have qualified onto the DPS and whose kits fall within one or more of the relevant lots. Potential providers may join the DPS at any time up to the date the DPS expires so long as the potential provider meets the criteria stated in the documents found on the appointed esourcing platform (Atamis). If a potential provider meets the criteria for admission to the DPS and is appointed to a lot then it may be invited to tender for the award of one or more contracts. UKHSA envisages using specific criteria which may, where appropriate, be formulated more precisely in the Invitations to Tender for those procurements. For LFT requirements UKHSA does not seek to procure kits which are exclusively nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal or exclusively both. Additional information: For those procurements within the DPS, UKHSA envisage using criteria which may, where appropriate, be formulated more precisely in the Invitations to Tender for those procurements and may differ depending on Lot. Renewal: The Authority reserves the right to renew. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031717-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | 25 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Jun 2022 - 12 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,000,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE ACTING AS PART OF THE CROWN THROUGH UK HEALTH SECURITY AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLI3 Inner London - West | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33141625 - Diagnostic kits - 38950000 - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment ## Release History - 27 Oct 2023 at 08:45 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031717-2023 - 13 Jun 2022 at 11:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016129-2022 - 28 Mar 2022 at 08:47 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008234-2022 - 25 Mar 2022 at 16:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008203-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/8d000000Hh2t/pEYAg2cUoq2hwIDxkMG6rS2J7wkkhOioUN5LbdVpOto - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.gov.uk/courts-tribunals - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-health-security-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
