## Summary

APHA has completed a public procurement process titled "29518 - Provision of Liquid Handling Robot(s) and Servicing" under the industry category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. This contract covers the supply and servicing of liquid handling robots, with variations for yearly service plans extending until 18th September 2025. The contract, valued at £71,842.60, was awarded to Hamilton Sales & Service UK Ltd. This procurement was conducted using the "Other" method and followed the complete lifecycle from the tender period ending on 30th April 2021, starting on 31st May 2021, and concluding on the contract end date on 18th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in precision instruments and servicing of robotic technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to this opportunity, especially those capable of providing both the equipment and ongoing maintenance services.
