- Published justification
UK Government published the requirement for testing to be available for Healthcare professionals, key workers and the wider population of Wales, to monitor and work to prevent the rate of the spread of infection. Following engagement with the market and the Public Health Wales Microbiology department, the testing kits, equipment, reagent and other associated consumables required to operate the testing platforms were deemed clinically acceptable and the products have been available for immediate purchase within the market. The award of these products enables the Trust to increase their testing capacity, in line with the expectations and demands of the Welsh Government strategy in tackling the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In these exceptional circumstances, there is no time to run an accelerated procedure in line with PCR’s as there is an urgent requirement for suitable testing kits, equipment, reagents and other associated consumables required to support the use of the testing platforms. Based on the above, the authority is applying a 10 day standstill period to allow suppliers in the marketplace an opportunity to appeal if they believe they have the capacity to meet the Trusts unique and urgent requirements
- Review procedure
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of Public Health Wales Trust will allow a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period
between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.
