This RFI only covers the AFCDT QAC requirements.\nThe aim of the QAC is to conduct blind performance testing by providing and inserting quality control samples. This will then assist the Authority when dealing with any legal challenges made against a positive result.\nPlease note the following general conditions:\na.\tThis RFI will help us to refine the requirement and conduct market research.\nb.\tWe reserve the right not to proceed with this procurement. Nothing shall constitute a commitment to instigating a formal procurement process.\nc.\tAny and all costs associated with the production of such a response either to an RFI or any resultant competition must be borne by the Supplier. The Authority will not contribute in any way to meeting production costs of any response.\nd.\tInformation contained within this document is confidential and must not be revealed to any third party without prior written consent from us.\ne.\tNo down-selection of Potential Providers will take place as a consequence of any responses or interactions relating to this RFI.\nf.\tWe expect that all responses to this RFI will be provided by Potential Providers in good faith to the best of their ability in the light of information available at the time of their response.\ng.\tNo information provided by a Potential Provider in response to this RFI will be carried forward, used or acknowledged in any way for the purpose of evaluating the Potential Provider, in any subsequent formal procurement process that may take place.  \nh.\tShould a Potential Provider fail to respond to this Supplier Questionnaire, it will not affect any further participation in any possible future procurement for this capability.\nOUR AIMS – WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE\nThe Customer is looking for one or more Suppliers to deliver the following aims:\na.\tMonitor the collection procedures and make recommendations as appropriate.\nb.\tAdvising on the AFCDT Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for required updates.\nc.\tAttend days that an AFCDT team collects samples at a frequency agreed between the contractor and the Authority. QA visits to collection sites are normally carried out on a two monthly basis, although the actual rate may vary significantly depending upon specific issues or scientific problems. \nd.\tReview and advise on the training of CDTO, CA and Monitors.\ne.\tSubmit a QA Site Inspection Report after conducting a visit to the Urine Analysis Contractors Lab.\nWHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR\nThe Customer is looking for Industry feedback on the following areas:\n1.\tThere is an appetite for a singular provider to deliver all requirements detailed in the brief as a capability under a single contract, can this be achieved by your organisation?\n2.\tHow would the potential provider seek to service the contract, which includes the provision of drug samples, IT infrastructure, communications and overall technical support throughout.\n3.\tDo any potential providers have the current capacity to deliver the capabilities? If a potential provider has a solution or is willing to develop a solution that fulfils the requirement, please provide a summary of the solution. \n4.\tIf the potential provider does not have a current solution that meets the requirement in full, what level of investment would the potential provider envisage as a result, or would the potential provider seek to sub-contract capabilities, and how would this sub-contract capability be managed.\n5.\tAre there any major pit falls, issues or risks with the requirement?\n7.\tWhere possible, are you able to provide a submission of a rough order of magnitude in regard to how much it would cost to fulfil this requirement in full, for 5 years.\n8.\tWhere possible, confirm the lead time to establish a robust logistical plan for the delivery of quality control dug samples and other potential lead times to have a facility that provides the service up and running.\n9.\tIf not, UKAS accredited, how long would it take for you to achieve this or similar accreditation required by the UK Government to conduct this requirement.\n10.\tHow is your service currently measured by other customers of your services i.e. Key Performance Indicators.\n11. \tAre you able to provide examples of Key Performance Indicators?\n12.\tWhat are the most applicable social value missions and outcomes that be achieved in fulfilment of the requirement? \n(Please see https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67ae1529e270ceae39f9e1a0/2025-02-11_PPN_002_The_social_value_model.docx.pdf) \n13. \tAre there any outcomes listed within the link above that provide a greater opportunity to provide social or economic benefit through delivery of the requirement? And if so, please provide justification. \nPOTENTIAL PROVIDER QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS\n•\tPotential Providers may raise questions or seek clarification regarding any aspect of this RFI document at any time prior to the Clarification Period Closure. Questions must be submitted through to the multiuser Army-Comrcl-Procure-HC-Mailbox@mod.gov.uk\n•\tTo ensure that all Potential Providers have equal access to information regarding this Procurement, responses to questions raised by Potential Providers will be published in a questions and answers document, which will be available through the DSP.\n•\tResponses to questions will not identify the originator of the question.\n•\tIf a Potential Provider wishes to ask a question or seek clarification without the question and answer being published in this way, then the Potential Provider must notify us and provide its justification for withholding the question and any response. If the Authority does not consider that there is sufficient justification for withholding the question and the corresponding response, the Potential Provider will be invited to decide whether:\no\tthe question/clarification and the response should in fact be published; or\no\tIt wishes to withdraw the question/clarification.\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION AND RETURN \n•\tAnswers should be limited to a maximum of one side of A4 per question, using Ariel Font, Size 11.  \n•\tOnce completed please save as a PDF file and return to: Army-Comrcl-Procure-HC-Mailbox@mod.gov.uk \n•\tCompleted questionnaires should be returned by no later than 18 July 2025.
