## Summary

The United Kingdom Anti-Doping Limited (UKAD) has completed a procurement process for "Doping Control Sample Collection Equipment" under the sports goods and equipment category. UKAD sought suppliers for urine and blood sample collection equipment to comply with WADA standards. The equipment includes bottles/containers, vacutainers, vessels, and partial sample equipment. UKAD's requirement was divided into two lots and a contract was awarded to Berlinger Special AG and Lockcon AG. The initial contract term is 3 years, with an option to extend for another 3 years, providing opportunities for businesses with experience in supplying similar equipment.

UKAD, as a government-funded body, conducted an open procurement process for Doping Control Sample Collection equipment, focusing on quality and price criteria. This opportunity would be suitable for suppliers with ISO 9001 certification, experience in similar supply, and a commitment to sustainability. The procurement process involved two lots covering different equipment types. The contract awards for Lot 1 and Lot 2 were made to Berlinger Special AG and Lockcon AG, respectively. Businesses aiming to engage with UKAD for the supply of sample collection equipment should ensure compliance with stringent quality requirements and customer service standards to enhance their competitiveness in the procurement process.

## Notice

UKAD wishes to appoint a supplier(s) of Doping Control Sample Collection equipment. UKAD conducts on average 10,000 Doping Control tests a year across urine and venous blood Samples, in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) International Standards for Testing & Investigations (ISTI). The Doping Control Sample Collection equipment to be provided is as follows: - Urine sample 'A' and 'B' bottles/containers - Venous blood Sample 'A' and 'B' bottles/containers - Venous blood Sample vacutainers and accessory packs - Sample Collection Vessels - Partial Sample equipment All equipment must comply with the ISTI. Whilst a single supplier for all Doping Control Sample Collection equipment would be preferable, it is not a requirement for UKAD. Therefore Doping Control Sample Collection equipment will be separated into the following two groups: - Urine and venous blood Sample collection equipment - Sample Collection Vessels and Partial Sample equipment Both will be evaluated independently, and a preferred supplier selected for each. As a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB), UKAD is government funded, and therefore annual levels of testing are dependent on UKAD funding levels and are therefore subject to change. Expected annual equipment requirements are approximately as follows: - 9,000 urine Sample 'A' and 'B' bottles/containers - 2,000 venous blood Sample 'A' and 'B' bottles/containers - 2,000 venous blood Sample vacutainers and accessory packs - 13,500 Sample Collection Vessels - 3,500 Partial Sample equipment - 8 shipments to UKAD logistics storage centre Suppliers will be expected to be able to meet certain standards/requirements in the production and supply of Doping Control Sample Collection equipment, and customer service to UKAD. These include (but not limited to): - ISO 9001 certification and effective quality control management systems - Proven experience of supplying Doping Control Sample Collection equipment to other Anti-Doping Organisations and/or Sample Collection Agencies operating within the framework of the World Anti-Doping Code - Positive approach towards sustainability - Effective customer service and account management The above list is not exhaustive and UKAD reserves the right to utilise the appointed provider to cover other aspects of Doping Control Sample Collection equipment. It is envisaged that the initial contract term will be for a duration of 3 years, however, UKAD wishes to reserve the right to extend the contract for a further 3 years, divided into renewal periods of 12 months each (i.e. 3+1+1+1).
