PRN22-447 Provision of Toxicology Services to Court Services Victoria

Summary and scope

Court Services Victoria (CSV) is a body corporate established by the Court Services Victoria Act 2014 (Vic) to provide the administrative services and facilities necessary for Victoria’s courts and tribunals to operate independently of the direction of the executive branch of government. CSV is seeking responses for the provision of Toxicology Services to support court mandated drug testing across the Magistrates’ Court, Children’s Court, and County Court of Victoria for a duration of up to seven years, consisting of a fixed term of 3 years with 2 options (2 years each) at the discretion of CSV. The proposed Part C Contract is a Standing Offer Agreement, under which CSV can issue contract Purchase Orders for each of the Magistrates Court of Victoria, the Children’s Court of Victoria and the County Court of Victoria. This will create separate Purchase Order Contracts for those jurisdictions. CSV is adopting this approach for ease of contract management, as invoicing and reporting will be required separately for each jurisdiction.
