What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAWMGS uses Hamilton machines, and therefore requires a dependable and sustainable contract for the ongoing supply of Hamilton consumables. This ensures that laboratories across NHS Wales have continuous access to essential items such as sterile and nonsterile pipette tips, barcoded plates, and other related Hamilton specific supplies. These products must meet strict Hamilton performance, provide full sterility and traceability where required, and offer sustainable options such as biocircular materials. The contract aims to maintain consistent stock levels, prevent workflow disruptions caused by supply shortages, and support high throughput automated testing across clinical, diagnostic, and research settings. Hamilton will be expected to provide high availability, strong quality assurance, and reliable delivery performance, including support for both bulk orders and standing orders.
