This tender falls under the laboratory services industry category and has been procured using an open procedure method. The procurement is currently in the award stage, with the active contract signed on 5th January 2021. The total contract value is £499,999, and it is specifically intended to analyse drug levels as established in Section 5A of the 1988 Road Traffic Act.
