The brief

**Please do not respond directly to the Buyer.

Bids should be submitted through the CCS E-Sourcing Suite.

Please note the deadline for Bids is Friday 15th December 2017 at 11:00.** MRC at the Research Complex at Harwell requires to purchase a 600-1000L steam sterilizer autoclave and associated equipment required (e.g. steam generator, water softener) to cater for an increase in number of users and workload.
