Tender: Mobile Preliminary Roadside Drug Testing Devices and Consumables – Two‑Lot DPS for Police Use
Released about 1 year ago
About
The procuring authority is seeking suppliers to join a Dynamic Purchasing System for the provision of preliminary roadside drug testing devices, associated equipment and consumables for police use. The DPS is split into two lots: Lot 1 for unpowered, single‑use disposable saliva test cartridges and associated consumables, and Lot 2 for powered, reusable handheld devices with test cartridges and associated consumables that can operate from mains, local generated supply or internal/external batteries. All devices must detect Delta‑9‑tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cocaine as specified under the Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 5A and hold and maintain Home Office Type Approval for police use in Great Britain. Historically, approximately 300,000 preliminary road drug tests were undertaken across the UK over a three‑year period.
This opportunity is suitable for manufacturers or suppliers of saliva‑based roadside drug testing devices and consumables able to provide both unpowered single‑use cartridges and powered reusable handheld systems and to maintain Home Office Type Approval. Key considerations include guaranteed detection of Delta‑9‑THC and cocaine, compliance with the tender's specification, technical and quality standards and SLA, and the capacity to support historically high testing volumes (~300,000 tests over three years).
