Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is procuring remedial works to the dust extraction system serving its Coxon F0.28 laboratory. The system, installed during an earlier laboratory refurbishment, allowed LFP powder to escape into the extract duct and laboratory environment after connected equipment was commissioned and a vacuum pump over-pressurised the duct. The requirement is to implement the Mechon design and specification, correct the loss of containment and return the F028 and F029 laboratories to service. The work is primarily ventilation installation and inspection of ventilation systems. The delivery site is CPI’s Coxon laboratory facility in Redcar. Longer-term, non-critical redesign of the extraction system is outside this contract, so the opportunity is focused on remedial and reinstatement works rather than a complete system replacement.

The procurement reached tender: CPI invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s e-tendering service. The tender closing deadline was 28 August 2026 at 23:59 BST. It comprises one lot, with the contract scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. The overall estimated value is recorded as £0 gross, while the lot value is recorded as AED 0 gross. The award basis is the combined score out of 100%, using the award-criteria ratio. The published tender status was active when the invitation was issued. The scope is tied to a detailed design and specification package produced following an expedited review of the affected extraction systems, and bidders should use that package as the reference for the required works.

This opportunity suits contractors able to investigate, repair and modify laboratory dust-extraction and ventilation systems, particularly where loss of containment has affected a controlled working environment. Relevant capability includes inspecting ventilation performance, identifying pressure and leakage problems, carrying out installation or remedial works at ductwork and joints, and commissioning the corrected system so the laboratories can return to service. Suppliers should be comfortable working from an external consultant’s detailed design and specification and coordinating works around specialist laboratory equipment. The requirement is best suited to an established ventilation or mechanical-services contractor with sufficient technical staff, site management and practical capacity to deliver a year-long contract period. Experience of laboratory, process or powder-handling environments would place a supplier well to compete, especially where safe containment and minimal disruption are central to delivery.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Coxon F0.28 Dust Extract Remedials

Notice Description

As part of a previous Lab Refurbishment programme, a dust extraction system was installed in Coxon's F0.28 laboratory in 2025. When commissioning connected equipment to the installed dust extract system, a loss of LFP powder was realised into the extract duct, which coincided with an over pressurisation of the duct from a connected vac pump causing LFP powder to exit at several joints contaminating the laboratory environment. At this time, CPI had separately engaged a 3rd party consultant, Mechon Limited, for a wider review of extract systems across CPI's estate. Following the loss of containment, Mechon were engaged to expedite the review the affected Laboratories as a matter of priority. This review has resulted in a detailed specification of work and design package being produced. The provided Mechon Design and Specification is to be ultimately referenced and is required to correct the loss of containment and return F028 and F029 laboratories to service. Later works, not covered by this contract, will encompass non-critical long-term redesign of the system.
