Explanation
The items required are to assist the contracting authority to respond to the impact of Covid-19 immediately, addressing the public health risk and disruption to services which would otherwise be incurred without them;
2) The increased additional testing for Covid-19 pandemic was unforeseeable by the contracting authority. Ordinarily existing contractual arrangements and emergency stockpiles could be relied upon in such circumstances, however in this case such provisions have proven insufficient to meet the scale of the additional demand for these items;
