We are delighted to announce that we have been appointed the sole provider of forensic testing services for Bedford Borough County Council, following a competitive tender process.
Under the 12-month contract, AlphaBiolabs will provide DNA, drug, and alcohol testing services for the Council, including sample collection and back-to-lab analysis in support of family cases.
Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: “Our in-depth knowledge of the challenges facing local Councils – particularly when it comes to making time-critical safeguarding decisions – stems from over 20 years’ experience working with family law professionals, social workers, and local authorities across the country.
“We know all too well the sensitivities involved, especially when working with vulnerable children and adults, and will work hard to ensure we deliver the highest possible standard of service for the people of Bedford over the next 12 months.”
Fast, accurate and reliable DNA, drug, and alcohol testing for local authorities
Established in 2004, we are one of the UK’s leading providers of drug, alcohol, and DNA testing services for family law professionals, social workers and local authorities.
We own and operate purpose-built genetics and toxicology laboratories from our headquarters in Warrington, Cheshire, and have extensive experience working with Family Courts and local authorities.
Our appointment by Bedford Borough County Council is the latest in a slew of contract wins, after we were re-appointed sole provider of drug, alcohol, and DNA testing services for Warrington Borough Council, and awarded the No.1 spot on the Forensic Testing Framework for Surrey County Council.
We also operate 20 walk-in centres across the UK and Ireland, providing on-site sample collection appointments for drug, alcohol, and DNA testing, including FREE sample collection for legally-instructed tests.
