## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the General Medical Council (GMC), focused on "Toxicology Services" with a completion status as of January 2026. This procurement falls under the service industry specifically in the area of toxic substances monitoring services (CPV code: 90743100) and spans a wide geographic location including the United Kingdom and several overseas territories. The process followed an open procedure method with a contract value of £800,000. Key dates include the tender period ending on 17th March 2025, contract commencement on 1st September 2025, and conclusion on 31st August 2029. The award was made to DNA Workplace Ltd, and the award was published on 20th January 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in toxicology and health monitoring services. Companies with expertise in substance testing and compliance monitoring could benefit by expanding their service offerings to meet the GMC's requirements. The project is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to its open procurement method and the stated suitability for such enterprises. Moreover, businesses capable of delivering a wide range of testing services, including blood, PEth, hair, nail, saliva, urine, and breath tests, would be highly competitive for similar future contracts. The significant contract value and extensive contract period offer a stable opportunity for growth and long-term engagements with a reputable buyer.

## Notice

Where there are concerns about a registrant's physical or mental health, we may require the registrant to undergo a health assessment. This may form one part of a wider investigation into a registrant's fitness to practise. At the end of an investigation, a registrant may enter into a period of medical supervision to monitor their health condition and compliance with any restrictions on their registration. Toxicology testing is required as part of the GMC's Fitness to Practise proceedings in order to establish:a) if and what substances have been/are being used by the registrant (this is of particular help in health assessments)b) if the registrant has complied with undertakings or conditions (which is of particular help for the purposes of medical supervision).This is mostly done using blood, in particular PEth testing, and hair testing at present, although nail, saliva, urine and breath tests can be carried out at the GMC's discretion.
