Tender description
The UKHSA Diagnostics and Research Open Framework is the successor to the current UKHSA National Microbiology Framework, and predecessor PHE Public Health Microbiology Framework and will be used to support the UK Health Security Agency’s Diagnostics and Research activities for both day to day and incident response. (Please note that it is the potential surge capacity that accounts for the high maximum value of this framework, not anticipated spend) The framework is divided into two lots and Suppliers are allowed to apply to join both Lots if they are suitably qualified and may also be awarded a place on both Lots: Lot One: Diagnostics Goods and Services (products that are UKCA/CE marked or otherwise validated to the required specification), and Lot Two: Research and development (research products that are not UKCA/CE marked)
