Description

UKAD has been appointed as the Anti-Doping contractor for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games (the Games). As the appointed contractor, UKAD is responsible for the management of the doping control process during the Games including the collection, transportation, and analysis of samples, as required by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF). In carrying out the sample collection process, UKAD must comply with the Chain of Custody requirements set out in the WADA International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI). According to the ISTI, samples must be transported in a manner which both protects their integrity and security and minimises the potential for sample degradation (e.g., through time delays and temperature variations). UKAD is therefore seeking to appoint a suitably qualified courier to provide the secure transportation of samples from Birmingham (One Brindley Place, Birmingham, B1 2JB) to the WADA Accredited Laboratory in London - Kings College London, Drug Control Centre (King's College London Waterloo Campus, Franklin-Wilkins Building, 150 Stamford St, London SE1 9NH).

Such transportation will be required no less than daily for the period from 22 July - 10 August 2022 (please note the 10 August is subject to change).
