    Brief

    UK Biobank is relocating its operations from Stockport to a new facility at Manchester Science Park. This project involves transporting more than 11 million biological samples currently stored in SBS-racks at -80°C from automated storage systems at the existing site to the new location. Samples will be temporarily transferred to Ultra Low Temperature freezers before transport. UK Biobank is seeking an experienced logistics provider specializing in site-to-site relocations of biological samples in ultra-cold storage environments. The successful supplier must demonstrate expertise in handling temperature-sensitive biomedical materials, maintaining strict chain-of-custody protocols, and ensuring sample integrity throughout the relocation process. This is a critical infrastructure project requiring specialized equipment, trained personnel, and comprehensive risk management to protect valuable research materials.
