## Summary

The University of Leeds is conducting a public procurement process for the award of a contract concerning a liquid handling robot. This tender is classified under the CPV code for instruments for measuring quantities and falls within the goods category. The tender period ended on 11th January 2017, and the contract period is set to run from 30th January 2017 to 30th January 2018. Located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, the contract aims to replace an existing system with improved capabilities, facilitating better user control and efficiency in laboratory protocols.

This procurement opportunity is suitable for companies specialising in laboratory equipment and automation technologies. Businesses capable of providing advanced liquid handling solutions that enhance operational efficiency with minimal user expertise will find a strong fit. Competing firms should have expertise in the manufacture and supply of scientific instruments, particularly those that cater to the academic and research sectors, fostering growth through innovation in automated lab processes.

## Notice

The School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a liquid handling robot for use in compound library management, combinatorial sample preparation and the setting up of biological assays and chemical reaction arrays. The system will replace a Hamilton Star system currently in use. Our current system requires a significant degree of user supervision by technical staff. We would very much like the new system to enable users to generate their own protocols with the minimum of training and technical knowledge about the equipment. In this exercise we anticipate that the system will meet the following basic requirements: Pipetting accuracy equivalent to, or better than, our current equipment, A 96-channel dispensing head, Support for data import and export to facilitate sample management.
