The Department awarded a call-off agreement to Randox Laboratories which commenced on 1 April 2021, procured under the National Microbiology Framework. The call-off agreement met the criteria for a direct award procedure due to the operational requirement for a provider to be based in Northern Ireland and meet the key performance indicators required.
