Vanmorgen plaatste ik dit al, maar ik kan de bedragen niet lekker op elkaar aansluiten zo. In de FT lijken ze het weer te hebben over iets wat nog moet worden toegekend.
Even wat dieper gegraven, headline is niet alles:
exbulletin.com/world/health/539011/Ministers are ready to hand over up to £ 42 billion in taxpayer cash to private contractors as part of an effort to significantly expand testing in the fight against Covid.
The huge amount equivalent to the annual defense budget includes a £ 22 billion contract bid by the UK Public Health Service last week and a £ 20 billion contract already awarded by the NHS, official filing shows show.
Die 20 die kennen we, dat is de tender waar Microgen deel van uitmaakt:
Separately, the NHS supply chain, the agency that controls the procurement and supply of health products to the NHS, has signed a £ 20 billion contract with a private company for “pathology and point of care” testing supplies.
These tests are believed to be performed in hospitals and other NHS environments. Approximately 170 companies, including more than 100 SMEs, were awarded part of the contract.
Die 20 billion? Nog niet kunnen vinden.
Wel deze van 22billion ook gevonden:
