The Scottish Police Authority (“the Authority”) has a requirement for the renewal of the servicing contract for their 5 x Biotage® 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.
