Tender description
This is not a procurement exercise. This is a market engagement exercise in support of the NHS England's home testing programme which was announced as part of the 10 Year Plan. The programme is seeking to explore the feasibility of establishing a single, trusted national home testing capability that will enable individuals to order, complete and receive results from clinically validated diagnostic tests from home, integrated into the NHS App and aligned with national screening, monitoring, treatment and prevention ambitions. This exercise is designed to understand the potential capability of the supplier market to inform the future development of the programme. This exercise does not currently include point of care testing capability but is focused on self-sample collection and laboratory analysis.

The central commercial function that develops procurement strategy for the whole NHS sits here.
Clinical services are commissioned directly or through the Provider Selection Regime.
Over the past 5 years, most of NHS England's contract awards have been in education and training, health and social work, and IT services.
