This was "for the provision of digital solution design, build and live service of a digital platform, ordering portals and mobile applications to support the COVID-19 National Test Service, together with transition and exit activities." This appears to be an extension of Tender No. 244657/923096. Could you please provide me with deliverables? For ease of reference, the tender ID is tender_244657/923096.

According to your website, you have now assumed responsibility for all functions previously held by NHS Digital.
