The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date of 31st August 2023. The location is in Edinburgh, UK, and the industry category is 'Education'.

This tender for the 'Biosecurity Station' by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh presents opportunities for businesses that can supply a stand-alone, covered station with water supply, brushes, water jets, and disinfectant applicator.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

RBGE is looking for: The supply of a stand-alone, covered, biosecurity station with its own water supply to allow visitors to remove soil and debris from their footwear before entering the garden. This would require fixed brushes on the floor and sides, water jets and a disinfectant applicator. The station should have room for interpretation panels to explain the need for the station and how to use it. There needs to be a swinging gate next to the station so that prams and wheelchairs can pass. RBGE is would be willing to assist in the design and innovation of a product which meets the above criteria.
