RFS25-080 - Framework for the Provision of Forensic Testing

The Council would like to establish a Closed Framework Agreement for the Provision of Forensic Testing. Forensic Testing (a term used to cover DNA, drug and alcohol testing) is used to help inform decision making, particularly with regard to the safeguarding of children and young people. Forensic testing will be commissioned for individual case instructions which may include, but is not limited to: • Separate or combinations of drugs and alcohol • Single or a panel of drugs • Overview of segmentation The proposed Closed Framework Agreement will run for an initial period of 2 years with the option to extend, on two occasions, each for a 12-month period. The Closed Framework Agreement will be split into 2 lots: • Lot 1 = DNA Testing • Lot 2 = Drug and Alcohol Testing
