This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the UKHSA inviting suppliers to provide input on the availability and suitability of relevant diagnostic technologies. The engagement aims to gather market insights, not to initiate a competitive tender. Suppliers interested in participating should submit responses via the Atamis eSourcing portal by 18 June 2026. This opportunity is based in London and falls under the industry category of goods, specifically diagnostic kits and medical equipment. The main venue for acquiring details is through the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice provided online. This tender presents an invaluable opportunity for businesses specialising in medical diagnostics, particularly those that manufacture and supply lateral flow devices, PCR tests, serology tests, and rapid point of care testing devices. Companies with innovative solutions for Hantavirus detection will find this engagement beneficial for showcasing their capabilities and understanding market demand under the auspices of the UK central government. By participating, businesses can potentially position themselves favourably for future procurement activities beyond the current research phase. ## Notice The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is looking to gather information on diagnostics currently available on the UK market to test for Hantavirus or Hantavirus Andes strain specifically. This is not a call for competition, but a market research activity aimed at gathering insights from suppliers to understand the current supplier landscape and market capabilities.
