Odx is all about antibody tests today, kind of fits with Lee's theory yesterday that they aren't involved with the LFT antigen test push. Or does it?

We'll have our 60p back tommorow then!!

Just feel the need to reiterate that the WORLD is most definitely our lobster if we can get a highly accurate validated CE marked rapid test out there....

From the public accounts doc published earlier:

David Williams: It remains to be seen, and the circumstances may well change. The current central estimate from the commercial team is that, in terms of new contract awards coming between now and the end of the financial year, there will be maybe another 25 to 30 direct awards. We are moving more into tenders. We have been running a tender for 200 million lateral flow devices, which reached an important decision stage on Friday last week. With a bit of stability in the programme, we have been able to run competitive processes as we see contracts coming to an end, so that will be more of a feature going forward.

Courtesy of Tony-GG, I felt it needed it's own thread:

The Harding et al public accounts transcript suggested one further order from Innova prior to consortium tender so this freight contract makes sense:

Public Accounts Committee
Oral evidence: COVID-19: Test, track and trace (part 1), HC 932
Monday 18 January 2021

David Williams: If it helps, from the procurement over the summer of the three tests that you have already mentioned, Mr Wild, we bought 384 million tests. We have just made a direct award for a further 239 million tests, which will be delivered from now through to mid-February, in advance of delivery through a tender process of up to a further 200 million tests from mid-February through to early March.

Then elsewhere in same doc...

David Williams: We are moving more into tenders. We have been running a tender for 200 million lateral flow devices, which reached an important decision stage on Friday last week.

Friday “last week” was 15 Jan.

Innova / AVCT are not mutually exclusive at this stage.

Seems there is an affimer for everything :)

BBC News - Covid: Schools will be told of reopening plans 'as soon as we can'

Bojo taking cue's from one of Al's RNS's " we will know shortly" wonder if he's waiting for the sovereign test

But steady is good, at least we kept last week's gains

As was said earlier we are 25% off what we were before vaccine ****** drop and odx are 27% the comparison stops there. Two very different businesses and models

Of course they can see your quotes it's them quoting to buy them!

Don't worry hardcore it's turned around

Just hardcore panicking, that's not very hardcore

Nothing! Other than the vaccine sort of still works on variants

They'll still take 10k off me

1.56% now, your maths is all to **** .... :)

Some extremely poor deramping going on this morning. Soooo very boring.....

Still very focussed on the UK consortium, which I'm sure avactas test will be part of.

What about the rest of the world though, they also need tests more accurate that Chi-nah crap....

Oh ****,I'm selling Monday! Even Myles says there is some risk..... Can't believe it's not nailed on like the 0.3% I get from the bank!

And I bet they are the link to "Asia" manufacturing. No point producing 50 million of thier pointless antibody test which they pretend to be antigen.

Good spot and makes sense
