- Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
- Published justification
This concerns the supply of tissue processing reagents by the existing supplier, where all reagents and products supplied have been tested and validated. A change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving reagents that differ from the validated goods, which would invalidate the current UKAS accreditation. Such differences could result in service disruption.
