RE: Eggs in one basket. 11 Nov 2021 09:57
You're missing the whole point of the GOV contract
It is there, as an insurance, in case Boris is let down by Chinese suppliers. Can you imagine supplies go short and the UK can't test the amount of people they need to?! British press would go INNNN! Hence the contract is already activated and in full swing SHOULD THE GOV NEED IT (which they won't), and ODX are 'on stand-by', as per GOV contract. And this is the rub, where the mistake was made, ODX cannot allocate production capacity to A.N.other customer JUST IN CASE the GOV come calling for their capacity.... So yes, eggs forcibly all in one basket
So the £374m was if it was activated on day 1 of the 2 year deal (which it wasn't), and run non-stop for 24 months. £374m divided by 24 months is £15.6m a month. Even if stocks of LFT get low and GOV ask ODX to bump up UK stocks, it may only be for ONE month while they wait for a container full of LFTs from China.
So the whole 'waiting for the £374m to roll in' is a myth and that's why the SP is where it is
