## Notice

The Armed Forces have been conducting an Armed Forces Cumpolsory Drug Testing programme since Jan 1995. The programme is designed to reduce the incidence of drug misuse in the Armed Forces by detection and deterrence. The programme involves the analysis of urine samples of service personnel. Samples are collected by Armed Forces (AF) collection teams and transported to the laboratory of the Authority's urinalysis contractor (hereafter referred to as 'the Contractor'). The programme also requires research and scientific support. These areas are included in this contract, which is structured to provide maximum flexibility to cope with change during its life. Full details can be found within the draft tender documentation which will be made available when the contract is advertised.
