The test is a lateral flow device, which looks and works like a pregnancy test, and is made in China by Biotime Biotechnology for the US company Innova Medical. It is supplied in the UK and Europe by a micro-company called Tried and Tested, which has no office and operates out of a house in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
The government has signed a contract worth £138m with Innova without a tender, as is permitted in the emergency. “The lateral flow tests were identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the mass testing programme in the UK,” says the contract.
