About

Department of Health and Social Care awarded a contract to Eurofins Biomnis UK Limited for the collection, identification, packing, and transport of wastewater samples to laboratories for COVID-19 testing and analysis as part of the Government Waste Water Surveillance Programme.

This variation agreement extended the term and scope (number of tests) of previously published wastewater testing.

The extension was necessary to avoid significant operational risk, as testing would have ceased after 31 January 2021, potentially pausing the Core Cities surveillance programme until alternative laboratory capacity could be sourced.

Wastewater data supports key programmes including mass testing and genomic surveillance.

The contract was signed with retrospective effect, and the reported award date refers to the day before services commenced.
