## Summary

The University of Reading is seeking to procure six stacked shaking incubators for the propagation of bacteria, with a tender value of £96,000. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as incubators, with additional emphasis on poultry incubators and brooders. The tender is currently at the active stage of the procurement process, with the submission deadline set for 17 December 2018.
