The Cheshire-based laboratory will deliver specialised testing on behalf of the authority for up to 4 years, supporting child safeguarding and Family Court proceedings across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
AlphaBiolabs employs state-of-the-art techniques from its facilities in Warrington to provide timely, accurate, and cost-efficient laboratory testing to meet a range of needs and has over 20 years’ experience working with Family Courts and local authorities across the country.
To mark the start of the contract, AlphaBiolabs is also donating £1,000 to four charities serving communities across Hull and East Riding: The Alcohol & Drug Service, Two Ridings Community Foundation, ReNew Hull, and Hull Women’s Aid.
The gesture reflects the company's longstanding commitment to giving back to the communities it serves, most notably through its ongoing Giving Back campaign, which makes bimonthly donations to charities nominated by family law and social work professionals across the UK.
Rachel Davenport, Director and Co-founder at AlphaBiolabs, said: “To be awarded this contract is a real endorsement of everything we have built over the past 20 years, including our expertise, and our commitment to delivering results that Family Courts can trust.
“Supporting local authorities in making time-critical safeguarding decisions is central to what we do. We understand the complexity and sensitivities surrounding family cases and are committed to delivering the highest possible standard of service for families across Hull and East Riding over the next four years.”
