The procurement was at an advanced stage, with an award made to Health Services Laboratories. The tender involved a limited procurement method without prior publication, motivated by the need for continuity of patient care due to the end of a previous contract. This tender for Self-Sampling STI Testing services presents business opportunities for companies in the healthcare and diagnostic testing industry. Businesses capable of providing self-sampling testing kits and diagnostic services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method used was an award procedure without a prior call for competition, indicating a strategic approach to ensure seamless service continuation within the healthcare sector. ## Notice To provide a range of test based on the kits that are made up as needed in the various combinations of blood, urine and swabs. The service will provide Kit Fulfilment and Postal Service (per order) and then diagnostic testing combinations depending on the returned samples. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Provision of self-sampling sexually transmitted infection testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C across all Health Board areas; including a testing modality which enables users to order a test kit from a virtual service (via a website), collect their own samples, return test samples to a laboratory, and be notified of their results by short message service (SMS) or telephone. ### Procurement Information The contract with HSL Pathology LLP ended on 31st March 2024. A 10 week extension period has been sought to allow sufficient time to undertake a compliant procurement exercise. The governance arrangements required cannot be undertaken in such a short period of time therefore there is no opportunity to make a compliant direct award for this interim period. For the reasons outlined above and to ensure continuity of patient care, the Trust has no option but to enter in to an interim agreement without any formal underpinning Framework Agreement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=140773 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Apr 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £492,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PUBLIC HEALTH WALES | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 4BZ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Butetown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HEALTH SERVICES LABORATORIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85111800 - Pathology services ## Release History - 3 May 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=140773 - 22 Apr 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=140773 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR475472 Self-Sampling STI Testing - To provide a range of test based on the kits that are made up as needed in the various combinations of blood, urine and swabs.
