- Cold chain evidence for reagents that require it
- Product shelf life of at least twelve months at the point of delivery

Evaluation and award
Bids are scored against the published criteria and their weightings. Price carries the most weight in most categories, though delivery lead time and past performance are scored too. The award recommendation goes to the association for endorsement.
