Reagents procured through this route will preserve the supply purchased under the current contract pricing and avoid 5 %cost increases due for future purchases as the existing call off orders have been completed. PHE received a further discount to cover the cost of VAT payable on these items. As a consequence, this purchase represents good value for PHE who achieve a saving of 20% plus cost avoidance of 5%. and for Oxford University who mitigate potential losses as a collaborating partner. Thus depicting value for money on the tax payers contribution on this one off purchase. ## CPV classification Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/6d538dee-5cd8-4f0f-a351-52c11c5df637) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
