Summary of the contracting process

Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) is procuring works for utility infrastructure upgrades and extensions at its Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) facility. The scope covers upgrading the existing purified water generation and distribution system so it can produce and distribute Water for Injection (WFI), extending the nitrogen distribution system, and extending the instrument compressed air distribution system. These upgrades are intended to support both new and existing cleanroom operations. The requirement is construction and building installation work, including mechanical and electrical installations, associated with a research facility (CPV 45214600, 45300000, 45310000 and 45350000). CPI is based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar and is the buying organisation.

The process reached tender: CPI invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions had to be submitted by 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00. Bids could be submitted electronically through CPI’s e-tendering system, where bidders needed to register to access documents and return their tender. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2028. The estimated overall value is £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. The single lot is separately recorded as 140,000 AED. Award is based equally on quality and service responses (50%) and price (50%).

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified contractor able to work on utility infrastructure serving cleanroom operations in a medicines manufacturing environment. Relevant capability includes upgrading and distributing purified water for Water for Injection production, extending nitrogen systems, and extending instrument compressed air systems. The work also calls for the practical delivery of mechanical, electrical and building installation activities within an operating research facility supporting both new and existing cleanrooms. Contractors with the technical teams, site coordination and delivery capacity to integrate new utility infrastructure with existing systems are well placed to compete. The requirement is particularly relevant to firms experienced in specialist process utilities, cleanroom support infrastructure and research or pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
