## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has cancelled the procurement process for 'HMPPS Drug Testing Products and Services'. The tender involved two lots aimed at providing drug testing services in the UK, with a focus on laboratory analysis products and point of care testing equipment. The procurement was abandoned due to a significant change in anticipated volumes. The contracting authority, the Ministry of Justice, based in London, UK, will not be awarding any contract for this tender but plans to re-procure drug testing services in the future.

This abandoned tender for drug testing services by the Ministry of Justice offers opportunities for suppliers in the laboratory services and drug detection apparatus industry categories. Businesses interested in providing innovative drug testing solutions may find future procurement processes by the Ministry of Justice relevant. With significant experience in handling drug-related issues in custody and community settings, suppliers can contribute towards reducing reoffending rates and promoting rehabilitation as part of the criminal justice system.
