Procedure rationaleThis contract has been awarded without prior publication of a contract notice. To the best of the Authority's knowledge, no other supplier is able to provide these specific transport media tubes. This media inactivates the COVID-19 virus making the samples safe to transfer directly on receipt onto analysers.
