They said on last RNS there will be place share for keeping this company for living . What a wonderful this company is . Over 6 months there is nothing get out and no update whatever from company . How on earth they are doing now?
Who says that GOV are paying carriage Grant you cretin? And what makes you think they’re flown in?!
Never heard of price with delivery or CIF? And can’t imagine how many LFTs would fit in one 20’ container, probably millions, that costs a little over £10k for me to ship one in from Bangkok as I’m in the supply chain business
GOV don’t fly them in boxes of 10 packs with £9.95 delivery FFS hahahah
"Surescreen's contract is for 20M tests as per the gov contract".
That was the original contract, the new contract was £503M (mind you probably like ODX it'll be "up to")

Surescreen have already received well over 100M from HMG.
Surescreen’s contract is for 20m tests as per Feb gov update. Maybe that that is the reason for the drop - ie, they are near the end of that?

"its cheaper to buy a UK test at twice the price £3-5 wholesale time the carriage is included from china. Not to mention the money going abroad out the economy."
Which is a wonderful statement right up until you forgot about the bit where surescreen got paid £5M in Sept where in the previous 3 months they got £20M+ a month. And thats the only uk test that HMG can hand out.
Oh, and anyone can buy they at bulk from a uk distributor £2.90 a pop in quantity of 12K

Wonder what uk gov is paying for quantities of 12M a go ?
Well said @grant1987.Long time waiting for news here and all the naysayers are piling in,hoping for holders to sell .This company is going nowhere lol...that's why they're giving up their own precious time to sit on here every day,saving us from ourselves,God bless 'em.
£1 Chinese tests, do me a favour, government not relying on amazon prime account for free delivery. They are paying for them to flown in you fool at great expensive making them more expensive overall.
Its cheaper to buy a UK test at twice the price £3-5 wholesale time the carriage is included from china. Not to mention the money going abroad out the economy.
Anyhow in the bin with you
GOV announced UK manufacturing as a charm tactic
As stated in my post that was deleted today, the ‘£374m contract’ is a back pocket insurance in case the Far East give us supply issues (knowing full well they never were going to)
So the £1-a-test Chinese LFTs will never go out of fashion in favour of a UK £10-20 test
We’ve been had in what can only be described as an epic swindle
Thanks for sharing - good find
Thats remarkable, considering the Government web site quoted 7M a week off Surescreen building to 14M a week by Xmas.
So what are ODX doing with that Government loaned machine?
Nothing to Omega.
Surscreen got £5M. (26M in Aug)
and if there was any doubt that Medco (Flowflex) is the new Innova, Medco received £105M in Sept. (38M in August)
So much for the HMG commitment to UK manufacturers, significantly reducing orders to the only UK one that has supplied them, and at the same time ramping up flowflex.
