To support this process, Surrey needs the ability to spot purchase from a framework agreement of suitable providers where independent expertise is needed. Recognising the transactional nature of forensic testing services, a new framework has been developed. This forensic testing framework will be divided into lots to enable the service to buy the best testing service to meet the needs of our families; - Lot 1 DNA testing for paternity (including sampling and collection where appropriate) - Lot 2 Drug and alcohol testing (including sampling and collection where appropriate) ### Framework Agreement Duration 4 years Call off contract 2 years initial period with the option to extend by a further 1 + 1 years. ## CPV classification Laboratory services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/1d57ff7a-adc9-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
