What do buyers ask for in laboratory and diagnostics contracts?

Can a small business win laboratory and diagnostics contracts?
Often, yes. 3 of the 4 live tenders in Northern Ireland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
