Answer
The National Testing Programme is managed by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), working in partnership with the Public Health Agency and the Department of Health locally to deliver the programme in Northern Ireland. LFDs are procured by UKHSA as part of the UK’s National Testing Programme.
Due to commercial sensitivities, UKHSA is not in a position to provide detail on individual contracts. Public notices of contracts are published here: https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder
