The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the IT Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.
University of Dundee has published 81 notices across all categories, and 41% of its awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
HTE is a field of chemistry that expanded exponentially in the past five years, and most pharmaceutical companies are currently using it in their workflows.
This methodology allows multi-parameter optimisation of chemical reactions but also synthesis of multiple compounds (96 to 384) on a small-scale using plate chemistry.
Combined with the implementation of Direct-to-Biology (D2B) approaches, which involves the direct testing of non-purified mixtures, biological data is obtained faster.
The combination of these methods greatly improves the Design, Make, Test, and Analyse (DMTA) cycle.
