Department of Health and Social Care awarded a contract to Systems Biology Laboratory for the provision of COVID-19 testing services to cover surge requirements, along with relevant reporting and forecasting.

This extension forms part of the additional lab capacity purchased on top of the already existing lighthouse labs.

The extension was an urgent requirement to meet a critical need for additional COVID-19 testing within Pillar 2 of Test and Trace, and DHSC relied on Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the extension.
