In such cases, Toxicology Services (drug and alcohol testing) will be required to ascertain: i. if substance(s), as specified by the GPhC, have been used by the donor. ii. if substance(s), as specified by the GPhC, are being used by the donor. Moreover, a Registrant may also be required to enter a period of 'medical supervision' - monitoring to confirm compliance with any restrictions on their registration. Here, Toxicology Services (drug and alcohol testing) will be required to verify fulfilment of conditions set. The purpose of this notice is to raise awareness of our upcoming Request for Quotation sourcing activity, gauge accurate levels of market interest, and receive feedback on prospective plans/requirements in advance of the formal procurement process; to be announced in October 2025.
