What the notice says

The opportunity to automate and drive down costs has arisen within the Genetics Laboratory. Instead of having a black box system, the new system will be more robotic and provide bench automation. The Lab will be able to process more samples and the costs will reduce long term due to less human intervention.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
