Laboratory facilities are used for analysing environmental samples to inform decontamination and remediation decisions. Until these samples are analysed, contaminated areas would not be declared safe and habitable. Defra wishes to undertake a market survey to understand the current availability of UK private sector and academic laboratories capable of handling the environmental sample analysis that may be necessary for chemical and biological incident recovery. This will inform Defra's contingency planning and assessment of the potential to increase 'surge' sample analysis capacity in this area. You are invited to take part in the market survey on behalf of your laboratory. Please complete Part A (chemical analysis capability) and/or Part B (biological analysis capability) of the attached questionnaire as appropriate by entering your responses onto the document and returning the completed form in Microsoft Word format to no later than 17:00 on Friday 11th October 2024. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT SURVEY FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. ## CPV classification Research laboratory services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f33d6f5b-b9b1-4751-b9f5-e11a1fe5c336) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
