Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), situated in Redcar, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement stage for its tender titled "Microbiological Environmental Monitoring and Water Testing". This tender falls under the industry category of laboratory services. The procurement followed an open procedure, culminating in two awards as part of a closed framework agreement. The contract period started on 15 April 2026 and extends until 14 April 2029, with potential for renewal up to 2030, offering a substantial contract value of £180,000. Businesses interested in laboratory services might find opportunities within various lots related to services like environmental monitoring and water testing in different sites across the UK.

The awarded tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory services, specifically in microbiological and chemical analysis. The structured framework agreement set by CPI could benefit large enterprises such as Honeyman Group Limited and Andersen Caledonia Ltd, who have already been recognised as suppliers. Companies adept at providing stable pricing across long durations may excel, especially if familiar with GMP Grade C and D suite environmental monitoring. Similarly, organisations with experience in compliance with Ph. Eur regulations could find lucrative opportunities in providing water testing services. Additionally, there is potential for contractors to engage in routine monitoring, offering further avenues for business expansion in this sector.

Pricing should be held throughout the duration of the framework. Should pricing not be held for the entirety of the framework duration, CPI reserves the right to conduct a mini-competition as per the process detailed below and rerank in line with the mini competition criteria. As and when we require goods we will confirm our requirements with the preferred (ranked 1st) supplier and place a Purchase Order. In the event that the 1st placed supplier cannot provide the goods required or meet the delivery timescale, the order will be placed with the 2nd placed supplier on the list in the same manner. Should the 2nd placed supplier be unable to provide the goods required or meet the delivery timescale, the order will be placed with the 3rd placed supplier in the same manner, with this process continued for any further members on the relevant lot until the goods have been provided. Where no panel members are able to meet our requirements, CPI reserves the right to award outside of this framework."
