Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. You have to sign up and pay for the 2 Covid tests you must take during quarantine. You get a reference number that must be included when you fill out the Passenger Locator Form.

https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-c...fore-travel-ukTo complete the passenger locator form you need:
  • your passport details
  • your travel details, including times and dates
  • the address where you will stay in the UK (if applicable)
  • a booking reference number and the name of the test provider, if you’re using Test to Release to find out if you can end self-isolation early
If you’re arriving in the UK after 14 February, you’ll also need:
  • booking reference numbers for the 2 coronavirus tests you must get after arriving in the UK
