Description
BBCS intends to undertake a programme of pre-market engagement across the dates of 21/07/2026 – 05/08/2026. BBCS will make a final decision on the most appropriate route to market following completion of this engagement activity. As part of this process, interested suppliers will be invited to attend a site visit to the Immunology laboratory. This site visit will be scheduled for either 21/07/2026 or 22/07/2026. This visit is intended to allow suppliers to gain an understanding of the current laboratory environment, operational workflows and space constraints within the existing laboratory. Following the site visits, suppliers will be invited to a slot to attend a virtual engagement session, and deliver a short presentation addressing points which BBCS wishes to explore. The presentations will be scheduled for either 04/08/2026 or 05/08/2026. Details of the exact date and allocated time slot for the site visit and presentation will be sent to you via the Atamis portal, and all subsequent invites and information will also be provided here following the closing date.
