What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide point of care testing consumables and, where needed, analysers to support delivery of the NHS Health Checks programme. The successful supplier will also be required to provide maintenance support, quality assurance materials, and training. The total annual contract value will not exceed £55,000, which includes all costs, delivery, technical support, and training, which must be covered within this amount. Due to the variation in provider requirements and the finite budget, no specific order quantities or frequencies can be guaranteed. An equitable allocation model will be managed by the Council to ensure fair distribution across providers.
