UK Health Security Agency awarded a contract to K-Med Limited for the provision of kitting and delivery of PCR sample test kits in direct response to the Omicron threat.

The negotiated procedure with a prior publication was utilised due to extreme urgency under Regulation 32(2)(c), as failure to secure this service would have significant implications for public health.

The contract enabled UK HSA to meet the immediate need for PCR kits due to the increase in required testing.

The contract value was £15,240,000.
