Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), located at Wilton Centre, Redcar, is the buying organisation for a completed procurement process under the open procurement method for the supply of gas manifold regulators, particularly for laboratories. This contracting process, which falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, concluded with the award announced on 5th February 2026. The contract, valued at £300,000, began on 5th February 2026 and will run until 4th February 2030. The procurement aimed to replace approximately 250 single-stage gas regulators across CPI’s facilities, ensuring compliance with statutory regulations and addressing safety risks associated with outdated equipment.

For businesses looking to expand into the supply of laboratory equipment, this tender creates significant opportunities over its four-year contract duration. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure that allowed multiple suppliers, including Express Pipework Systems Ltd and J&J Medical Gas Ltd, to secure positions within the framework agreement. Businesses in the fields of gas regulation, instrumentation, and related safety equipment, especially those demonstrating technical expertise, reliability, and a commitment to quality and sustainability, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The framework allows potential suppliers to join a multi-supplier agreement, offering a chance for future work without reopening competition, making it ideal for firms that can maintain competitive pricing and service standards.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Gas manifold regulators for laboratories

Notice Description

CPI is seeking qualified and experienced suppliers to be appointed to a framework agreement for the supply of gas manifold regulators to our facilities. We are looking for suppliers who can demonstrate technical competence, a strong track record of delivery, and a commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability. This requirement relates to the replacement of all single-stage gas regulators across the building, in line with statutory regulations. These regulators are installed in every laboratory and plant room, with approximately 250 units currently in operation. They support various gas lines, including Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, and Carbon Dioxide 5%. The existing regulators have exceeded their recommended 10-year lifecycle, as specified in CP039. Continued use beyond this period increases the risk of failure and poses safety risks to personnel, particularly in laboratory environments.

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. Where the 1st placed supplier has confirmed prior to a quote request (during the framework period) that they are unable to provide the specific requirement, either through their tender submission or through previous failed quote requests, then CPI reserves the right to directly approach the highest ranked supplier who has confirmed their ability to provide the specific requirement. Where availability and access to items changes, and previously unavailable products are made available, suppliers should notify CPI to enable consideration for the next requirement opportunity."
