Today we had a very stressful day organising the equipment. In the end, we had to go and find the technicians supervisor ourselves to request a form because he could not (or could not be bothered) to find her. Luckily, we managed to find her just as we were leaving the University. She asked for us to sign for liability of all the equipment which was a little daunting but necessary. We happily did this and took out the equipment, ready to be installed tomorrow.
From this I have learnt that you need to organise things like this a lot more in advance with 3rd parties as they may not have very reliable systems.
