## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has completed the procurement process for the supply of ELISpot and FluoroSpot kits and reagents, classified under diagnostic kits (CPV 33141625) and laboratory reagents (CPV 33696500). This process, marked by the tag "award" and "contract," culminated in the direct award of the contract to Mabtech AB for the ongoing supply of these kits over a one-year term, effective from 20th February 2025, with an option to extend the contract for an additional year. The procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to the technical necessity of using Mabtech's compatible OEM supplies to ensure consistency and compliance with ongoing testing protocols at UKHSA's laboratory in Porton Down, Salisbury, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in the production and supply of specific laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly those capable of ensuring compatibility and regulatory compliance. Companies involved in the health security and diagnostic industry, especially those with expertise in delivering bespoke equipment and reagents that meet stringent testing and regulatory standards, would find this contract advantageous. Given the precise technical requirements and the long-term potential for contract extension, businesses that can offer reliable, consistent, and high-quality products would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders issued by the UKHSA.

## Notice

This VEAT notice indicates that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) intends to directly award a contract to Mabtech AB for the purchase of Elispot and Fluorospot for on-going use with their specific laboratory over a one-year period.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

UKHSA requires to purchase Elispot and Fluorospot kits from Mabtech AB for ongoing use with their specific laboratory equipment over a 1-year period. The laboratory equipment supplied by Mabtech must use their own OEM supplies due to equipment compatibility and ongoing testing results compliance.
It must be noted that if the test kits or equipment change mid-study, this would require protocol amendments and discussions with regulatory agencies to inform them of protocol changes and study deviations. This could lead to delays in results, as new impact assessments would need to be made, detailing the change and obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals. These changes must align with the same products used previously to maintain continuity of test data; otherwise, we risk introducing potential ambiguity into the test results.
Therefore, a decision has been made to enter into a 1-year agreement with Mabtech AB for this procurement, with a 1-year extension option available.

Options: 1 year contract extension option available.
