PIN: Laboratory Equipment Future Opportunity
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Medicines Discovery Catapult publishes Laboratory & Precision Equipment work continuously — 39 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
22% of Medicines Discovery Catapult’s 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 →
