Details

The Ministry of Justice recognises the potential of prison wastewater testing in offering insight into the health of the prison population. This questionnaire is issued by the Ministry of Justice to gather information on market capability and appetite to deliver a trial multi-target wastewater-based surveillance programme, which would aim to explore the feasibility of monitoring drugs, pathogens, and human health biomarkers in prison wastewater samples. Responses will be used to inform the design, scope, and delivery model of any potential future programme. This is a market engagement exercise only and does not constitute a commitment to procure.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
