Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) has completed the Framework for QC Outsource Testing procurement process. This process, classified under analysis services (CPV code 71620000), was initiated to establish a multi-supplier framework to support quality control testing, initially located at the National Biologics Manufacturing Centre in Redcar, North East England. The procurement method used was an accelerated open procedure, driven by the urgent need for GMP analytical testing services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The tender was published on 3rd July 2020, with submissions due by 22nd July 2020, and the awarded contract commenced on 3rd February 2022, extending until 2nd February 2026, with a total contract value of £500,000.

This procurement opportunity could foster significant growth for businesses, particularly those specialising in analytical testing services, routine monitoring, and GMP compliance. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project has been structured to be accessible to them. Companies involved in the biotech or pharmaceutical sectors that can provide innovative testing solutions—specifically for nucleic acid therapeutics—will find this tender particularly relevant, helping them to expand their market reach and capabilities in response to urgent public health needs.
