seven.2) Other additional information
It has been raised that one of the essential assay, Tryptase, is only available from one provider. Therefore, in order to ensure full transparency and fairness, the specification has now been amended to make Tryptase an Desirable Assay. This will not be included within the commercial scoring, however the Health Board would encourage bidders to provide a solution for this assay in the desirable section of their submission.
In light of this change to the specification, an additional two weeks has been added to the tender period and the new closing date is Friday 14th October 2022 at midday.
