Testing for Coronavirus is a crucial part of the government’s response to the pandemic. The national COVID-19 testing strategy has pivoted toward mass population testing. To achieve this ambition a concerted effort to mobilise a range of viable testing solutions is needed.The Test & Trace programme requires logistics capabilities to enable the storage and outbound distribution capabilities of cartons of tests to support the Government’s ambition to scale up and increase the volume of testing available across all pharmacies in England from April 2021. The programme anticipates that it will need to purchase logistics solutions which provide coverage across pharmacies within England and seeks establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as the best means by which to meet its flexible requirements for these services.This Notice invited the market to submit an application to join the DPS.A PIN (2021/S 000-006335) was issued on 29 March 2021 in relation to this DPS.
