What is being bought

Published requirement description

Currently Pharmacy use BD Rowa Dispensing Robots (Hardware) in Ipswich and Colchester, these robots are managed with ARiMS software. They served notice on ARiMS in Aug 2023 as the software was to be replaced by BD Pyxis Inventory Connect (PIC), however it was not picked up by operations at that time and we do not believe we responded to the end of life notice.
