Estimated value: 418224 GBP
Award criteria: Lowest price

Technical requirements: 1) The Covid-19 outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
2) A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there is adequate testing. Subsequently securing sufficient lab capacity in order to process test results is crucial.
3) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
A. As far as is strictly necessary: Increased lab capacity to increase the amount and fast turnaround of tests processed was identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the testing programme in the UK.
B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: the Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’ (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 1 April 2020).
D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the amount of tests processed increases with the necessary demand.
E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority – DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

Technical requirements: 1) The Covid-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
2) A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there is adequate testing. Subsequently securing sufficient testing supplies in order to process test results is crucial.
3) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
A. As far as is strictly necessary: increased testing supplies to support the National testing programme was identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the testing programme in the UK.
B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: it is responding to the changing landscape of Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency. DHSC tested the UK and EU market as a result of the increased testing announcement required within a short time frame and found there were no suppliers to reach the numbers required in that short time frame.
C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: the Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current Coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency — precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’ (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 1 April 2020).
D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: it is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the amount of tests increases with the necessary demand. At the time of sourcing DHSC had put a request out to the market asking for additional supplies and Hutchison were one of the few companies that could offer a viable alternative product to what we were already sourcing, increasing the flexibility in our supply chain. DHSC did not need to run a competition as we were in close contact with all these suppliers from the outset of the pandemic and were already utilising the EU markets full capacity at that time.
E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority — DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

PHE_Scientific-Provision of Purchase of Assay Kits for Newborn Blood Spot Screening Evaluation Study for SCID
Public Health England on behalf of NSC intends to award a contract to Perkin Elmer and ImmunoIVD for supply of Kits to undertake Screening evaluation for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) under the NHS Newborn Blood Spot Screening Programme (NBS-SCID).
The aim of this evaluation is to identify all babies born with SCID as early as possible. This will allow successful treatment before the baby acquires infections.
The scope of the evaluation study is to establish if NBS for SCID is beneficial at the population level, to identify the best TRECs assay, to establish ideal cut-offs for TREC levels, to establish numbers of false positives and relevant clinical information on false positives, and to establish if screening for SCID is economically viable.
This evaluation study will establish if screening for SCID is viable so as NBS screening for SCID becomes part of the national programme. Once established and agreed by NSC, the screening will be openly tendered for contract.
Due to unforeseen circumstances of Covid-19, the project was postponed which led to change in testing volumes and change in exchange rate.
The contract value for Perkin Elmer is GBP 1 761 000 and Immuno IVD is EUR 2 962 000. The Total approximate value of the entire contract is GBP 4 470 000.

Leidos Supply Ltd intends to award a framework agreement to Aquilant to support the 55 Vela Ventilator respiratory machines, all of the which are currently in service.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 32 (b)(ii) of Directive 2014/24/EC of the European parliament and of the council (Regulation 32(5)(b) of PCR 2015). This is because the manufacturer of the Ventilators, Vyaire, have confirmed that in the UK only Aquilant Critical Care are certified to install, service and maintain the products. If a company was selected that is not manufacturer approved then this could alter the performance characteristics of the ventilator.
