UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Centre for Process Innovation Limited is procuring a replacement gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system for its analytical work. The requirement is to replace an obsolete instrument while maintaining the existing analytical capability and enabling future expansion and enhanced functionality where appropriate. The system will support a wide range of analytical activities across CPI and must provide reliable, accurate and repeatable performance. This is primarily a laboratory analytical equipment supply opportunity, with associated industry-specific software and systems testing services. The buyer is based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar, United Kingdom, and the equipment will support activities undertaken across CPI.

The procurement has reached tender: CPI invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted electronically through CPI’s e-tendering system by 9 September 2026 at 23:59:59. The planned award date is 12 October 2026, and the contract period is 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029. CPI intends to establish a closed, single-supplier framework without reopening competition, with suppliers ranked by evaluation score and direct awards reserved. The overall gross value is recorded as GBP 0, while the lot value is recorded as AED 0. Evaluation is based on price at 30%, specification at 20%, lead time at 20%, account management at 15% and after-sales support at 15%.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, laboratory equipment suppliers and specialist analytical technology providers able to deliver a complete GC-MS replacement while preserving established analytical performance. Strong candidates will need to demonstrate that their system can provide reliable, accurate and repeatable results across a broad range of laboratory activities, with scope for future expansion and enhanced functionality. The evaluation gives substantial weight to technical specification, lead time, account management and after-sales support, so suppliers should be able to provide a well-defined solution, dependable delivery arrangements and effective ongoing customer support. The framework is intended for a single supplier, with suppliers ranked according to their scores, making solution quality and service capability important alongside price.
