If there was a failure of power or liquid nitrogen storage/delivery at South Mimms, back-up samples stored off-site would guarantee business continuity. As certain samples fall under the Human Tissue Act, the storage facility must be HTA licensed. To ensure effective business continuity for the agency the storage facility is required to be within a 2 hour drive of the agency site at South Mimms. ## CPV classification Research, testing and scientific technical simulator Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/410c1a09-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
