## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is initiating a procurement process for "Drugs Testing Equipment, Consumables and Laboratory Services," classified under laboratory services. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with interested suppliers invited to engage by completing a questionnaire by 31st March 2021. The scope of the services will primarily support Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service in enhancing drug testing capabilities across custody and community settings throughout various regions in the UK, including UKC, UKD, and others.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in drug testing and laboratory services, particularly those providing innovative equipment, consumables, and analytical services. Suppliers with experience in logistics and drug treatment services would be well-suited to respond, as the Ministry of Justice aims to identify capable partners to assist in addressing drug misuse issues and to facilitate drug-free environments for individuals under supervision.

## Notice

Drug testing is at the heart of any good drug strategy and is well established in both custody and in the community. Testing provides Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) with a robust evidential basis to support adjudication and disciplinary processes and provides vital intelligence relating to the nature and prevalence of drug misuse. It also helps HMPPS to react quickly to emerging trends and changing patterns of drug use/misuse across the prison estate and amongst those under statutory supervision in the community. Additionally it helps to identify people with drug misuse problems, signpost them into drug treatment and help them to engage in and maintain drug free living.
