Results for “Security”

The Contracting Authority requires a multiplexed molecular analysis system capable of performing direct, amplification-free, digital quantification of gene expression (mRNA and miRNA) and protein targets from limited and potentially degraded clinical samples. The system will be used primarily for patient-derived specimens, including FFPE and other clinically archived materials, where RNA quantity and integrity may be limited. The solution must therefore demonstrate high sensitivity, reproducibility, and robustness to sample degradation. The required system must provide a complete sample-to-data workflow, enabling end-to-end processing, automated or semi-automated operation, and integrated data analysis suitable for use by scientific staff without advanced bioinformatics expertise. To access this opportunity, you must first register as a “Supplier” on the Authority’s e-tendering portal here: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome

We provide scientific, operational and strategic leadership nationally, locally, and internationally to strengthen the nation’s health security. UKHSA is assessing opportunities to enhance its existing Quality Control (QC) testing capability through collaboration with UK-based organisations that deliver operational QC services for medical devices and related products (primarily, LFD & PCR testing kits). This Request for Information (RFI) aims to understand the capability, capacity, readiness, and interest of organisations that may be able to support UKHSA’s public health mission during surge periods or emergencies. Objectives: • Identify operational QC testing facilities with available capacity or surge capability. • Assess technical, digital, and governance capabilities for potential collaboration. • Explore commercial models for engagement with UKHSA. This RFI is intended for organisations currently providing QC testing services for medical and related devices within the UK. Responses should describe existing facilities and capabilities that could be deployed to support UKHSA’s laboratory operations, particularly during periods of increased demand or public health emergencies. These QC tests relating to Parts 1–2 of the inspection process are to be undertaken at the manufacturing facility. Part 3 testing the performance/functionality of the kits can be undertaken either at the manufacturing site or another mutually agreed appropriate site. Recent procurements of PCR and LFD products have been from manufacturers based in the United Kingdom, United States of America, China, and Italy.

The duration of the DPS will be for 4 years (2024-2028). UKHSA anticipates a requirement over the period 2024 to 2028 for the supply of product(s) indicated for protection from COVID-19. The annual requirement for COVID-19 vaccines will be determined by DHSC and UKHSA policy following advice from the JCVI as to which cohorts should be included in an upcoming immunisation programme.

No commitment is made to conducting any further call for competition nor for procuring any minimum volume or value of goods by UKHSA in setting up this DPS. The DPS provides potential providers with a means to take part in future tenders. The Authority invites applications from suitably qualified suppliers to join the DPS in order to participate in future tender opportunities. Only those suppliers whose DPS application has been approved and who have been accepted on to the DPS at the time an ITT is issued will be eligible to submit a tender.

Project Scope - a. Please can you advise if there is any additional information that you would require to ensure you have all the information required to submit a tender response? We are inviting interested suppliers to respond to the above questions by completing this questionnaire https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ccX9R85kkq by Wednesday 27th May 2025 By responding to the questionnaire, you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable ICS to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns and view on the formulation of its requirements. ICS may consider the information and responses received as part of the questionnaire to help inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the procurement, ensuring all valid options are considered. If only 1 supplier expresses interest, ICS will pursue a direct award. For the avoidance, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not providing a response to the questionnaire shall not prevent any supplier from participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information suppliers as part of the market consultation place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.
