## Summary

The Department of Health & Social Care in the United Kingdom, located at 39 Victoria Street, London, is taking over the responsibility of an existing contract focused on supplying lab reagents and consumables across low and middle-income countries, as part of their AMR surveillance efforts. The contract, titled "DHSC:GH: Lab Reagents and Consumables," involves the direct award procurement method, bypassing competition due to urgency. The contract award, valued at £1,237,181 with a gross amount of £1,484,617, has been formalized. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period set from 25 May 2026 to 21 May 2027. The procurement primarily covers the 'goods' category with an additional focus on services, reflective in its classification under laboratory and precision equipment and procurement consultancy services.

This procurement process opens up avenues for businesses that specialise in laboratory equipment and services, particularly those capable of handling international logistics and maintaining stringent quality controls. It presents a unique growth opportunity for SMEs that can deliver reliable supply chains to specific low and middle-income regions. The direct award nature may appeal to businesses with established government or health service relationships, as it requires swift and efficient adaptation to meet the outlined needs. Additionally, companies with consulting experience in procurement or that possess a robust understanding of geopolitical influences on supply chains will find themselves well-positioned to contribute to the successful implementation of this contract.

## Notice

As part of the legacy outputs of the Fleming Fund Grant, LMIC's require additional time to set up individual agreements for the re-supply of reagents and consumables. The Authority is taking over responsibility of an existing contract for the supplier of re-agents and consumables and intends to award a contract without competition for the sourcing and delivery of the goods to target sites across low and middle income countries.

### Procurement Information

To maintain AMR surveillance through the provision of service and maintenance of lab equipment and supply of reagents and consumables, selected Fleming Fund countries across the low and middle income regions require additional support and funding whilst they transition to national funding.
