## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) has completed the award process for the renewal of the servicing contract for its Drug Extraction Systems. This contract, identified as PROC-22-1887, pertains to the Biotage® Extrahera Automated Sample Preparation System located in Glasgow (region UKM82). The contract, valued at £80,435.70, was awarded to Biotage Sweden AB, the original equipment manufacturer, given the unique and trademarked nature of the technology. The procurement followed a non-competitive action due to the lack of alternate suppliers capable of servicing this specialized equipment. The initial contract period is three years, with an optional extension, aiming to support the resilience of SPA's toxicology service. The procurement stage is at 'Award' with the contract signed on 5th September 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in highly specialised servicing and maintenance of forensic and toxicology equipment. Companies with expertise in trademarked and proprietary technologies, especially those related to biochemical and drug extraction systems, would be quintessential candidates for such contracts. Participation in similar contracts can position these businesses as preferred service providers for highly technical and critical public safety equipment, fostering long-term relationships with public bodies such as the Scottish Police Authority.

## 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.
