Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Covid Tests Logistics Services to Pharmacies

The Test & Trace programme requires logistics capabilities to enable the storage and outbound distribution capabilities of Lateral Flow Devices (LFD) 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 PIN is to inform the market of the DPS planned launch and to invite the market to express interest for a market engagement event to understand the capacity and capability of the market for services that DHSC envisions may be required.
