Technical requirements: Professional maintenance and support of equipment across the DHSC Covid-19, Pillar 2 (3rd Party Testing) programme across the Lighthouse Lab testing estate. Decommission and re-installation of the borrowed assets returned to the lender organisations.
1) On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared a Covid-19 pandemic with the associated serious risk posed to life. The UK Government’s response to the national emergency posed by Covid-19 includes the putting in place by it of arrangements for large-scale testing in respect of Covid-19 on an urgent basis.
2) As part of those arrangements, DHSC needed to acquire maintenance and support services to enable the Pillar 2 testing programme to operate effectively.
3) This service requirement required maintenance and support services for particular Thermofisher instruments. Life Technologies is the sole manufacturer of instruments offered through Thermofisher and has not issued a letter of assurance to any third party service provider for servicing its manufactured instruments.
4) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii)) are met: The works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator because competition is absent for technical reasons including the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights over the instruments and know-how relating to maintenance and servicing of those instruments:
A. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists – appointing any other service provider would risk invalidating the warranties over the instruments.
B. the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement – this procurement is part of a procurement strategy by the UK government to increase testing capacity exponentially to meet demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
