## Summary

```html

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) is conducting a market survey to assess the laboratory capabilities within the UK industry and academia for analysing hazardous chemical and biological samples. This procurement process falls under the "services" category with a CPV classification of "Laboratory services" (ID: 71900000). Laboratories are invited to participate by completing a questionnaire available from CBRNResearch@defra.gov.uk or via the Contracts Finder portal. Participants must submit their responses in Microsoft Word format by 17:00 on Friday, 11 October 2024. This survey is at the planning stage, with future notice anticipated by 31 December 2025. The survey does not constitute a formal tender notice.

Participating in this survey provides businesses an opportunity to showcase their laboratory analysis capabilities, which could lead to potential future contracts with Defra and other government bodies. This is particularly beneficial for laboratories specialising in chemical and biological analysis, research laboratory services, and related analysis services. While participating does not commit firms to any future tenders, it positions them favourably should future procurement opportunities arise in this specialised sector.
