Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), located in Redcar, UK, has completed a procurement process for the establishment of a framework for the supply of probes and transmitters, specifically for use in fermentation processes. This tender, which falls under the goods category, was conducted through a direct award method without competition, being below the threshold. The procurement process is now in the award stage and the contract was signed on 1st July 2026, with a value of £60,000. This framework agreement, involving a single supplier, Mettler Toledo LTD from Leicester, will cover the period from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027.
