This project is segmented into two lots: Lot 1 covering Drug Testing Laboratory Analysis, Goods, and Services, and Lot 2 focusing on Drug Testing Point of Care Testing (POCT) Products and Associated Services. Details on participation, including market engagement events and surveys, have been shared for stakeholders, with a procurement start expected in late April/early May 2023. Key dates include a market engagement event on 30th March 2023. The procurement method is open, aimed at obtaining high-quality services vital for the justice system’s needs.

Suppliers offering reliable, rapid, and high-quality drug testing products and services will find this contract beneficial. Companies with capabilities in POCT, offering products that deliver quick, non-invasive results, and those providing extensive drug testing services for prisons, probation offices, and rehabilitation services, will be particularly well-suited. This contract offers long-term engagement with the option for extension, making it ideal for businesses looking to establish or grow their presence in public safety and justice sectors.

The Authority are keen to use VDT products to test for as broad a range of drugs as possible.
