Legal Justification
The Government has set out the increase of COVID-19 testing capacity as a cornerstone of its strategy to combat rising rates of infection, suppressing community transmission, savings lives and ultimately supporting societal and economic recovery.Successful validation of an initial range of newly developed COVID-19 lateral flow test kits was completed by the DHSC in September, allowing for orders to be placed to secure a sustainable supply of significant volumes of these products, as a fundamental enabler of the expansion of the testing programme.The supply of these new test kits is currently limited in the face of very high global demand and consequently it was necessary to contract for supply on an ex-works basis for product manufactured in China in order to secure the required quantity of product and prevent gazumping.Where product has be sourced on an ex works basis it is imperative that this product is moved at the earliest opportunity to prevent it being sold to higher bidders.In addition the rising rates of infection in the UK and predicted growth in cases over the coming months, has created an urgent need for these new test kits to support the testing programme in the UK and therefore Air Freight presents the only viable mode for moving product to the UK in time to meet the operational requirements of the testing programme.In light of these factors the contract was awarded to ACS to meet the specific urgent need to transport test kits to the UK, utilising flights from XMN during Q1 2021.The short lead time between validating new test kits and needing these kits in the UK to support the national response to a second wave of COVID-19 cases in the UK, justifies the use of direct award under Regulation 32 provision within th

I would need a bigger calculator if that was true!
Let's just wait and see what transpires, it has been a long wait that is hopefully coming to fruition

I expect that a lot of phone calls are being made to establish who got what and wants to partner with each other, before they start writing out cheques

DPR names marginal field winners at last
As the country continues to grapple with Covid-19, President Muhammadu Buhari has been hoping to generate cash from a marginal field bid that looks at last about to close. The Department of Petroleum Resources has sent the first letters to inform the succesful bidders of its choice. [...] (305 words)

Can we expect to have an update on the proposed subscription and transaction prior to the call?
Would make a lot of sense so that the BOD can fully disclose future plans etc otherwise their hands are tied as to what they can disclose
Or is this a PR stunt to drum up support for a placing/subscription?

And presumably the sp would rise to within approx 5% of the offer price straight away to give shareholders the option to sell into the market if desired

If a full sale is announced will there not be a couple of weeks delay before the deal is settled for a shareholder vote?
Deal could be announced shortly but sale proceeds not distributed until after April 5th so pushing any gain into next tax year

Can you post it again please

I hope Tim sends out a message over the weekend to all shareholders who have been in contact over the last two years otherwise he will be inundated with calls on Monday
Will be good if this get's over the line soon

Excludes nasal and throat swabs as far as I can see

Can someone explain the medical terms used please

"Sample type
DHSC will no longer validate lateral flow devices that only allow for a nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal specimen collection method or both. Instead, the instructions for use (IFU) for the lateral flow device must contain a specimen collection method that allows for one or more of the following sample types:

anterior nares
mid-turbinate
saliva
This list is written in priority order: lateral flow devices submitted with a specimen collection method higher up on the list will be prioritised for validation. A lateral flow device will only be considered for validation when all lateral flow devices with a higher priority specimen collection method have been considered for validation.

Other sample types, which are not included in the list above, will be evaluated on a case by case basis."
