UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the Centre for Process Innovation Limited, a public undertaking based in Redcar, United Kingdom, pertains to the service of LC-MS systems in the MMIC QC laboratory. This contract falls under the services category, specifically targeting the repair and maintenance of precision equipment. The procurement was executed using a direct method below the threshold, thus bypassing competition, and has advanced to the award stage. The contract was awarded to Thermo Electron Manufacturing, trading as Thermo Fisher Scientific, with operations located in Hemel Hempstead. The contract began on 8th May 2026 and is set to conclude on 7th May 2027, with a gross value of £49,769.91.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the maintenance and servicing of laboratory systems, particularly those with expertise in LC-MS technology. While Thermo Fisher Scientific, as a large enterprise, has secured this contract, similar opportunities could be suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises in the precision equipment maintenance industry. These businesses could benefit from forming partnerships or collaborations with large industry players, capitalising on their niche expertise to grow and compete in the public procurement market.
