Summary of the contracting process

Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) procured clinical requirements and research consultancy services for its NG-Dx and similar programmes. The work involves leading qualitative research into clinical needs, bottlenecks and workflows affecting data, knowledge and clinical decision-making in cancer diagnostics, including circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and proteomics. Findings are to be translated into functional requirements aligned with technical file structures, producing actionable and traceable specifications for future technology, product and market development. This is specialist health, research and systems consultancy, including project management elements. The requirement is for CPI’s programmes, with the buyer based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar. The procurement covers one service lot and is structured as a single-supplier framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. CPI selected Umio as the supplier. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2030. Its value is £173,000 excluding VAT, or £207,600 including VAT. The tender closed on 27 July 2026. The framework is closed and allows CPI to place orders by direct award without reopening competition; the appointed supplier is ranked for call-offs, with pricing held throughout the framework. Evaluation was based on quality and service response, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. Electronic submission was permitted through CPI’s e-tendering system.

This procurement indicates demand from CPI for suppliers able to combine clinical research, diagnostics expertise and requirements engineering. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to lead qualitative research with clinical stakeholders, understand cancer diagnostic pathways and the data and knowledge workflows around ctDNA and proteomics, and identify practical bottlenecks in decision-making. It would also need to convert research findings into clear, traceable functional requirements and specifications that can support technical files, technology development, product development and market development. Experience spanning health services, research consultancy, systems or technical consultancy and project management would be relevant. The framework’s single-supplier model and quality-led evaluation show the importance of a strong service methodology as well as competitive pricing.
