Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), based in Redcar, UK, is initiating an open procurement procedure for a LEV & DSEAR Engineering Consultancy Framework Agreement. The tender aims to appoint a single contractor to provide services including LEV design and compliance assessments, DSEAR consultancy, and technical advisory support. The procurement process began on 10th August 2026, with a tender submission deadline set for 10th September 2026. The contract award is anticipated to conclude by 6th October 2026, with the contract period commencing on 12th October 2026 and potentially extending until 11th October 2030. This project falls under the technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services industry and requires applicants to submit electronically in English.

Firms that can demonstrate strong delivery methodology, effective communication skills, and an ability to offer added value and innovation will be well-positioned to succeed.
