What the notice says

The purpose of this project is to procure an anaerobic workstation. The workstation will provide a controlled environment for the processing, incubation and examination of samples which must meet the technical requirements set out in the specification. The workstation shall be delivered to Liverpool. LSTM will then arrange onward shipment of the equipment on to the partner lab in Malawi which is the final destination. Although LSTM will be responsible for arranging the shipment from Liverpool to Malawi, the successful supplier will be required to provide installation, commissioning and user training at the partner laboratory in Malawi once the equipment has been delivered. Bidders should therefore include all costs associated with installation, commissioning, travel, accommodation and any other expenses required to complete these activities within their tender submission.
