The procurement involved two lots: Lot 1 for laboratory analysis products and prevalence testing, and Lot 2 for point of care testing equipment. The tender, which was open above a specific threshold, had a procurement method of an open procedure. The contract period was set from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2028, with the tender period ending on April 4, 2022. The tender was abandoned due to a change in anticipated volumes, but a new procurement process will be initiated in the future. This procurement process could offer opportunities for businesses providing drug testing products and services. Companies specializing in drug detection apparatus, laboratory services, and toxic substances monitoring services would be suitable for competing in this tender. As the Ministry aims for innovation and continuous improvement, businesses with a focus on research and development to enhance drug testing methods could have a competitive advantage. The emphasis on rehabilitation and safety within the criminal justice system presents a niche market for businesses looking to contribute to societal welfare through their products and services. ## Notice This is a notice of abandonment of this procurement.
