Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited initiated a procurement process, titled "Provision of an Automates Testing Tool," designated under the industry category of program testing software package and development services. The procurement process was carried out using an open procedure method, targeting the region of Redcar, United Kingdom. The tender, initially active, had an end date for submissions on the 27th October 2025, followed by an award period ending on 14th November 2025. However, the procurement process resulted in a tender cancellation on 18th February 2026, as no suitable tenders or requests met the lifecycle costing and technical criteria required by CPI.

The opportunity to provide an automated testing tool valued at approximately £350,000 would have been ideal for businesses specialising in software testing tools, particularly those with the capability to offer SaaS solutions equipped for Single Sign-On (SSO). Although the procurement was ultimately cancelled, future similar opportunities can benefit businesses equipped to navigate technical and commercial requisites comprehensively. Emphasising the importance of thorough submission aligned with the client's lifecycle and technical stipulations may open pathways in similar future tenders.
