What is being bought
The Council is required to set up mass Lateral Flow Testing (LFT) arrangements as part of the Governments pandemic response. The focus of the community testing is on key staff groups and the wider public to help identify people who were asymptomatic positive cases in order to break the chain of transmission. The Council therefore needs to undertake the urgent procurement off goods and services to set up the testing programme to ensure DHSC requirements are met. REM will be responsible for setting up the sites, procuring the materials (other than the test kits that are provided by the DHSC), sourcing the staff, undertaking training, carrying out the tests and working alongside the authority to help promote and evaluate the work. The aim is to have a first site up and running week commencing 1st March 2021, with two further sites to follow from 10th March 2021. This is subject to regular review. The model will be flexible. The current proposal is for a 3-site model across B&NES, but additional locations will be provided based on demand.

Procedure rationaleThe contract will be directly awarded based on guidance issued by the Cabinet Office (PPN 01/20) permitting the use of regulation 32(2)(c) under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 as incorporated in the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 because of the urgency of the requirement, and that the conditions of the funding from DHSC do not allow enough time for contracts to be tendered.
