## Summary

The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is inviting suppliers to participate in a tender exercise for Toxicology Services 2024 - 2028. The procurement stage is an open procedure (above threshold), with a tender period ending on 6th November 2023. The contract period will be between 1st February 2024 and 31st January 2028. The procurement falls under the industry category of pathology services, specifically blood analysis and laboratory services. The delivery addresses are located in West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender for Toxicology Services presents business growth opportunities for suppliers seeking to provide services in pathology, blood analysis, and laboratory services. Companies proficient in delivering timely and precise toxicology services will find this opportunity well-suited for their expertise. The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, as the contracting authority, aims to ensure the provision of necessary services for approximately 5000 deaths reported annually within the Black Country Coroners Jurisdiction.

## 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").
