## Summary

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust has completed a direct award contract with Roche Diagnostics Limited for the provision of VKIT COBAS LIAT FLU A/B & RSV IVD and VKIT COBAS LIAT SARS-COV-2/FLU tests. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically laboratory reagents. The contract is a direct award and forms part of an annual rolling call-off agreement via the NHS Supply Chain. Initially, the award decision was made on 19th June 2025, with the contract period set from 4th July 2025 to 3rd July 2030, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in medical diagnostics and laboratory equipment supply. Companies that specialise in healthcare technologies and have the capability to manage consistent supply logistics would find this contract promising. With a value exceeding £336,084 and the scope to be part of central government procurement, businesses with existing NHS partnerships or those looking to expand within the healthcare sector would particularly benefit. Roche Diagnostics Limited, as a large-scale supplier, demonstrates the value for substantial operations that can maintain durable and scalable product delivery.

## Notice

This relates to an annual rolling call off agreement via NHS Supply Chain for Roche Liat instruments and reagents purchased in POCT at Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services (BSPS). This contract was previously under a Genmed MSC which expired on the 18th December 2024. Due to budgetary constraints, POCT were not keen to re-tender for this provision of services but instead opted to retain the existing Liat instruments as it was still fit for purpose. The agreement will be directly with the equipment owners (Roche) and will be rolling annually up to a maximum of 5 years unless terminated by POCT.
