The UK Rapid Test Consortium (UK-RTC) is not a Government organisation therefore the information requested on its creation and internal processes is not held centrally.

No funding has been allocated through the UK-RTC.

Members of the Consortium who have been awarded contracts have done so through compliant procurement processes unrelated to the UK-RTC.
