## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority has awarded a service contract for the renewal of the servicing of their five Biotage® Extrahera Automated Sample Preparation Systems (Drug Extraction Systems) to Biotage Sweden AB. This contract, valued at £80,435.70, covers a period of three years with one optional extension period, supporting the resilience of the Authority’s toxicology service. Located in Glasgow, UKM, this procurement falls within the "Repair and maintenance services of medical and precision equipment" category. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract being signed on 5th September 2024. This tender employed a limited procurement method due to the protection of exclusive rights, as the required service could only be provided by Biotage Sweden AB.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in medical and precision equipment services, particularly those with capabilities in maintaining proprietary systems such as Biotage's Extrahera. Companies offering unique, high-skill maintenance services are well-suited to compete for similar non-competitive contracts, which often arise due to specific technological requirements and intellectual property considerations. Engaging in such contracts can significantly bolster a firm’s portfolio and credibility within the public safety and forensic services sectors.

## Notice

The Scottish Police Authority ("the Authority") has a requirement for the renewal of the servicing contract for their 5 x Biotage(r) Extrahera Automated Sample Preparation System ("Drug Extraction System"), for a 3 year period, with one optional extension period, to support the resilience of its toxicology service. From the market analysis undertaken, it is the firm proposal and recommendation that only one supplier can satisfy this specific requirement of SPA Forensic Services. The Biotage Extrahera including Dual Turbovap system is trademarked technology, the specification of which is considered to be unique, resulting in Biotage's instruments being unable to be serviced by any other Supplier.
