Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement - Provision Of An End-To-End Managed Service Of Stand-Alone Covid -19 Swabbing Services At Pre-Designated Test Site/s

Health Service Executive (HSE)

Due to the high levels of protection against COVID-19 in the population resulting from vaccination and natural infection, the level of harm caused by COVID-19 has significantly reduced. As the disease moves from pandemic to endemic status there will be a gradual transition from widespread testing and contact tracing for active cases towards a more targeted individual testing model similar to other respiratory illnesses, primarily delivered through primary care. As part of its transition planning, the HSE is preparing so that it can respond to any possible future requirement to increase testing capacity, either temporarily in the event of a surge via the National Ambulance Service (NAS), or in the event of an emergency response scenario

Deadline

The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2023-01-16. The procurement was published on 2022-12-05.
