The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to enhance its capabilities by procuring a Liquid Chromatograph with Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (LC-QQQ) for targeted drug analysis in biological samples. This procurement process, which is currently at the Award stage, follows a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by a previous PIN Notice. The award was finalized on 31 December 2021, with a total contract value of £1,338,347, located in Glasgow (postal code G51 1DZ) and classified under the goods category specific to public order and safety.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for suppliers of lab equipment, particularly those specialising in chromatographic instruments and related technologies.
