UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is seeking Clinical Research Organisations (CRO) for evaluation studies on In Vitro Diagnostic devices (IVDs) and pathogen characterisation to support the UK's diagnostic testing and infectious disease surveillance capabilities.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) wishes to inform the market of their intention to undertake preliminary market engagement in advance of any potential future procurement to source one or more Clinical Research Organisations (CRO) or equivalent organisations who have the capability and experience of operational delivery of evaluation studies relating to In Vitro Diagnostic devices (IVDs) or pathogen characterisation. This will include amongst other things protocol development, re-kitting and distribution of diagnostic devices, study design, participant recruitment, data management and analysis, report writing and dissemination of findings to support the UK's diagnostic testing and infectious disease surveillance capabilities. This procurement will allow UKHSA to rapidly initiate evaluation studies in a range of settings including but not limited to primary care, NHS Trusts, organisations, and community. It is UKHSA's understanding that this activity is not widely carried out across the Public Sector, so UKHSA therefore wishes to explore the market, identify interest and potential solutions from suitably qualified suppliers and interested parties. The scope of our market engagement may be influenced by the responses we receive.
