Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the acquisition of an Automated Cell Counter System, valued at £122,528.94 GBP, was carried out by the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), situated in Redcar, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of blood-cell counters and utilises a restricted procedure method. The process has now reached the award stage, with a contract period commencing on 13th February 2026 and concluding on 12th February 2027. It targets multiple delivery locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 9th February 2026, with a deadline for quotations on 9th January 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the medical device and laboratory equipment industries to expand their business footprint by engaging with CPI, a prominent buyer in the UK. The procurement is suitable for companies that specialise in the production and supply of automated blood-cell counting systems, particularly those with capabilities to meet specific pricing, lead times, assumptions, and exclusions as required by the buyer. Despite the suitability criteria excluding SMEs and VCSEs, larger firms with comprehensive solutions in cell counting technology could leverage this opportunity for substantial business growth in both domestic and international markets. Beckman Coulter United Kingdom Limited has been identified as the supplier for this awarded contract.
