High Precisions Liquid Handling Tips
Procurement agent: Cardiff and Vale University Health Board·On behalf of: Velindre University NHS Trust
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAWMGS uses Hamilton machines, and therefore requires a dependable and sustainable contract
for the ongoing supply of Hamilton-compatible consumables. This ensures that laboratories
across NHS Wales have continuous access to essential items such as sterile and non-sterile
pipette tips, barcoded plates, and other related Hamilton-specific supplies.
These products must meet strict Hamilton performance and compatibility standards, provide full
sterility and traceability where required, and offer sustainable options such as bio-circular
materials. The contract aims to maintain consistent stock levels, prevent workflow disruptions
caused by supply shortages, and support high-throughput automated testing across clinical,
diagnostic, and research settings.
Suppliers will be expected to provide high availability, strong quality assurance, and reliable
delivery performance, including support for both bulk orders and standing orders
