C435410 - Waiver of Training & Education microscopes

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (BTHFT) has a requirement to purchase a set of microscopes for the Technical Skills Lab. The microscopes currently in the Technical Skills Lab are over 15 years old and show significant signs of wear and tear. Due to their age, they are now considered obsolete and can no longer be repaired, which affects both their reliability and their effectiveness for training purposes.
