"description": "UK Biobank reserves the right to discontinue or delay the procurement process and may decide not to award a contract for Lot 1 and/or Lot 2 as a result of this call for competition. UK Biobank shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any bidder in considering and/or responding to the procurement process. Tenders and supporting documents must be priced in pounds sterling and all payments made under the contract will be in pounds sterling, unless otherwise advised. Any volume of Liquid Nitrogen referred to within this Contract Notice and/or the procurement documents is indicative only and there is no guarantee or warranty of any Liquid Nitrogen volumes by UKBB or UKBC. The estimated contract value per Lot for the initial period of 12 months may be in the range of 430,000 - 450,000 GBP for UK Biobank (Lot 1) and 125,000 - 150,000 GBP for UK Biocentre (Lot 2), but it is not possible to provide an overall maximum estimated value for each of the contracts. However, based on the initial 12 month period highlighted above and whilst recognising the value may vary, the overall maximum value if the contracts are extended for the full 4 year period could be in the range of 1.5 - 1.8 million GBP for UK Biobank and 0.4 - 0.5 million GBP for UK Biocentre. The figures stated in Section II.1.5 and Section II.2.6 (for each of Lot 1 and Lot 2) are the maximum figures in these ranges. UKBB will incorporate a standstill period at the point the decision in relation to the award of the contracts is notified to bidders. The standstill period, which will be a minimum of ten (10) calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful bidders to lodge an appeal in regards to the award decisions, before the contracts are entered into. Suppliers are advised to allow adequate time for uploading documents and to dispatch the electronic response well in advance of the closing time to avoid any last minute problems. (MT Ref:223966)",
