Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is overseeing a public procurement process titled "Section 5a Forensic Drug Driving Toxicology Casework Analysis Services." 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. This contract requires service provision in the UK, particularly addressing an urgent need arising from a significant increase in caseload since April 2020.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in forensic laboratory services, particularly those experienced in toxicology and drug analysis. Organisations that pay all employees the Real Living Wage and adhere to strict data protection regulations will be well-positioned to compete.

The opportunity allows qualified service providers to collaborate with public bodies, thereby enhancing their credibility and expanding their portfolio in the public sector.
