## Summary

Public Health England (PHE) is currently planning a procurement process for the provision of automated nucleic acid extraction equipment, with a Supplier Day scheduled for the 18th and 19th of July 2018 in Colindale, London. Interested parties must express their intent to participate by the 11th of July at 15:00. This opportunity falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment (excluding glasses) and is in the planning stage of procurement, which is critical for the development of high-throughput molecular services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and services, particularly those with expertise in automated nucleic acid extraction technologies. Companies that can meet ISO standards and provide ongoing support and consumables for such equipment will find themselves well-positioned to compete. With PHE's potential requirement expansion across its various laboratories in England, this procurement could lead to a long-term business relationship for suppliers in the health sector.
