Coverage: 56 active published awards; 1 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
USW requires a new Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) Machine to replace an existing machine. USW mainly use it to quantify antimicrobial resistance genes from environmental samples; however, its scope may be expanded to include forensic applications. Samples are quantified alongside standards to get concentrations of ARGs. These are then used to work out gene copy numbers using external software
