Toxicology Services - Drug and Alcohol Testing

The GPhC wishes to inform the market of our intention to procure the provision of Toxicology Services - Drug and Alcohol Testing. Where there are concerns regarding physical or mental health, specifically drug and alcohol misuse, the GPhC may necessitate a Pharmacy Registrant (donor) undergo medical assessment, forming part of a wider Fitness to Practise investigation. 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. Scope of services will include, the: 1. Supply of Phlebotomists and Specimen Collectors -throughout Great Britain- to collect donor samples: hair (head and body), nail, saliva, blood and urine. 2. Undertaking of sample drug testing for, but not limited to amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, hallucinogens, hypnotic substances, ketamine, mephedrone, methadone, methamphetamines (including MDMA and MDEA), novel psychoactive substances, opiates, opioids, sedatives, steroids and tramadol. 3. Undertaking of sample alcohol -ethanol- testing; including phosphatidyl ethanol (PEth), carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) biomarkers, and ethyl glucuronide (EtG). 4. Undertaking of liver blood testing, formerly known as liver function tests (LFT). 5. Undertaking of full blood count testing (FBC), including mean corpuscular volume testing (MCV). 6. Secure email provision of sample analysis results within 3 working days; including the provision of supplementary reports which interpret results in an accessible (free from technical jargon, where possible), clear and concise manner. 7. Provision of a Certificate of Analysis (CoA). 8. Provision of testimony in the capacity of an Independent Expert Witness (where donor samples are tested for legal purposes). N.B. the Service Provider remains responsible for ensuring staff are adequately trained to undertake this requirement, if requested. Please note, samples are to be collected at a donors' home residence, or a neutral site as determined by the Service Provider. We kindly ask that all interested suppliers complete and submit this response form to Anna Kitoki, at [email protected] by 17:00 on 02.09.2025. Any interest shown does not constitute a commitment to participate; and failure to show interest does not restrict suppliers from participating in this and/or any other procurement process run by the GPhC.
