We are looking for assistance to further develop the web app system only. This is a bespoke web application that we have spent 1 year developing. The system went live in September 2020, and has processed around 25,000 tests to date. At peak load the system has processed around 700 tests in a day, but it is designed to process 10,000+ per day.

We are currently working on various contracts that could see the load increase to 1,000 per day in the coming month, and possibly to 5,000 per day. Some of these require new features to be developed in order to enhance our current system. 

Project Description

Our platform was founded in April 2020 and is the UK’s only not-for-profit COVID-19 test provider. We’re here to support and complement the government’s existing capability to provide tests in order to help kickstart the UK economy. 

Our test portfolio includes antibody testing, swab PCR and saliva PCR tests (for general diagnostics and travel testing). We cater to individuals and businesses. 

What does our system do?

The system is designed to enable mass testing for COVID, with a target of testing 1m people in 100 days. It includes the following components: 

E-commerce: The selling of tests is handled separately in the platform which is a Wordpress/Woocommerce system
Shipping: Shipping test kits is handled separately by syncing order information to a shipping system called Veeqo
Web App: Supports the end to end delivery of our testing service once kits have shipped, from user sign up to activation of sample (tying sample ID to individual user) through to results delivery (incl. reports/certificates)
