Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require trials and full procurement process for all Covid-19 testing contracts

All tests for Covid-19 should undergo trial periods, and undergo a full, independent procurement process before they can be purchased under a Government contract.

More details

Only the best and properly evaluated tests should be considered, yet there are concerns that contracts have been awarded to businesses without adequate checks or transparency. All test contracts should be awarded on merit through tenders, following trials.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
