What is being bought

Published requirement description

UK Biobank is undertaking an infrastructure replacement that will move operations from our existing facility in Stockport to a purpose-built facility at Manchester Science Park. This involves moving more than 11 million samples stored in SBS-racks from -80°C storage (primarily automated storage) from the Stockport site to Manchester site. Samples will be moved to Ultra Low Temperature freezers ahead of the move. UK Biobank requires a logistics company who is experienced with site-to-site relocations of biological samples in Ultra Low temperature freezers at -80°C to physically move the samples
