## Summary

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the title "Automated Pharmacy Dispensing Robot." This project falls within the healthcare industry and is located in Great Yarmouth, England. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 27th April 2018.
