The aim of this tender is to commission a suitable contractor (AN) to carry out laboratory diagnostic examinations for the Youth Welfare Office of the City of Bremen.

These findings are not only significant for proceedings within the Youth Welfare Office but are often also of considerable importance for family court proceedings (e.g., in the context of § 1666 BGB).
The subject of the tender is the case-specific collection of urine, blood, and possibly hair samples, as well as their laboratory diagnostic examination for alcohol, drugs, and medications. For the proposal calculation, the client has based the estimate on 900 samples annually.
In addition to sample collection, other tasks related to service provision include:
- Preparation of assessment reports as per templates
- Professional advice for the case managers of the Youth Welfare Office of Bremen
- Participation in interdisciplinary case discussions
- Reporting
- Conducting training and information events for the employees of the Youth Welfare Office of Bremen
