I posted a copy of an email I received from onCore UK previously.
It appears they are holding a Biobanking Clinic on the 8th of November in Liverpool, so if anyone in Liverpool is able to go, ask questions, and then keep us informed of the answers then this might help colleagues in the future.
Copy of the email is pasted below so anyone thinking of going can contact them directly. (minus H&S warnings).
