Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe UK Ministry of Justice is running a market engagement exercise, not a tender, to explore the feasibility of a trial multi-target wastewater-based surveillance programme in prisons. The aim is to monitor drugs, pathogens, and human health biomarkers in prison wastewater samples to gain insight into the health of the prison population. Responses to the issued questionnaire will inform the design, scope, and delivery model of any potential future programme. Interested suppliers can respond to the questionnaire to demonstrate their market capability and appetite to deliver such a programme.
