Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

CPI (Centre for Process Innovation) procured a laboratory equipment maintenance and servicing contract for its Cytiva chromatography systems. The equipment covered includes AKTA Avant 25, AKTA Avant 150, AKTA Pure 25 M, AKTA Pure 150 L, AKTA Pilot 600, AKTA flux S, AKTA flux 6, AKTA go and AKTA pcc instruments. The procurement is classified as laboratory, optical and precision equipment services (CPV 38000000). The primary delivery location is CPI’s Wilton Centre site in Wilton, Redcar, United Kingdom. The requirement concerns ongoing technical support for specialist laboratory and process equipment rather than the supply of new instruments. The named buyer is CPI (Centre for Process Innovation).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Global Life Science Solutions Operations UK Ltd (T/A Cytiva) was selected on 25 August 2026 for £88,170.96 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method was recorded as not applicable. The award is active and covers the full chromatography equipment servicing requirement. CPI assessed the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lot structure or award weighting is recorded. The award therefore identifies both the incumbent supplier and the scale and duration of the buyer’s current maintenance arrangement.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist servicing of a substantial group of Cytiva AKTA chromatography platforms at a process innovation organisation. Suppliers considering the next opportunity would need demonstrable technical capability across AKTA Avant, Pure, Pilot, flux, go and pcc systems, with the capacity to maintain multiple instruments under one service arrangement. Manufacturer or equivalent equipment expertise, suitably qualified service engineers, planned preventive maintenance and reliable fault response would be commercially relevant capabilities. The buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs indicates that a credible competitor may need established engineering resources, operational resilience and sufficient scale to support the complete equipment list. Experience in laboratory, bioprocessing or process-development environments would help demonstrate understanding of the equipment’s operational importance.
