Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is conducting a public procurement process for the supply of DNA kits, with a focus on DNA extraction, DNA quantification, and PCR amplification. This tender is currently at the planning stage, with a Request for Information (RFI) document released on 27th May 2020. Interested suppliers should submit their responses by the deadline of 24th June 2020. The procurement process is classified under the goods category and encompasses the entire United Kingdom, particularly addressing needs within the public order and safety industry.

This opportunity allows businesses in the forensic science and laboratory supply sectors to engage with the Scottish Police Authority, potentially shaping future contracts. Companies that specialise in DNA extraction and quantification kits, as well as PCR amplification technology, would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Moreover, suppliers who can provide insights on the benefits and risks of dividing the procurement into three lots could enhance their chances of securing involvement in future tenders.
