## Summary

The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract for Toxicology Services covering the period from 2024 to 2028. The procurement process was for Pathology services, specifically Blood analysis and Laboratory services. The tender had a deadline for submissions on February 12, 2024, and the contract period starts on April 1, 2024. The awarded contract is worth £700,000 and was won by Analytical Services International.

This procurement opportunity for Toxicology Services created by Sandwell MBC is well-suited for businesses providing analytical and laboratory services. The contract offers a significant value opportunity over the four-year period and can be beneficial for suppliers looking to offer specialised services in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Sandwell MBC (the "Council") is the relevant authority for the Black Country Coroners Jurisdiction which covers four local authority areas namely; Sandwell MBC, Dudley MBC, Walsall MBC and the City of Wolverhampton. Annually approximately 5000 deaths are reported to the Senior Coroner for the Black Country. When discharging his or her judicial responsibilities, a coroner will make whatever inquiries are necessary when endeavouring to establish a cause of death. Those inquiries although not exclusively may involve a Digital Autopsy scan, a Post Mortem examination and in some instances the use of Toxicology Services to ensure that service he or she provides meets the needs of the bereaved in a timely manner. The Council is therefore co-ordinating a tender exercise for Toxicology Services and wishes to invite interested suppliers ("Tenderers") to participate in a tender exercise in relation to the supply of these services ("invitation to Tender" or "ITT").
