UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited procured a range of filters to restock the warehouse at its National Industrial Biotechnology Facility (NIBF1) pilot plant. The requirement supports business continuity while a wider, cross-CPI framework is procured. NIBF1 is a pilot plant with bioreactors ranging from 10 litres to 750 litres, so the supply is relevant to businesses providing filtration products for industrial biotechnology and pilot-scale bioprocessing environments. The procurement was for goods, specifically gas filters. Delivery and use are associated with CPI’s NIBF1 facility in Redcar. The buyer is a public undertaking operating from the Wilton Centre in Redcar. The selected supplier, BioPharma Dynamics, is based in Salford and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BioPharma Dynamics. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. Its value is £43,637.56 excluding VAT, or £52,365.07 including VAT. The award covers the supply of gas filters for the pilot plant requirement. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, with evaluation resulting in an active award and active contract. The requirement was intended to maintain warehouse stock and business continuity during procurement of a wider CPI framework.

This procurement demonstrates demand from CPI for dependable gas-filter supply supporting industrial biotechnology pilot operations. Suppliers would need a product range suitable for bioprocessing facilities and the ability to support equipment operating across multiple bioreactor scales, from laboratory-scale 10-litre systems to 750-litre pilot systems. Credibility would also depend on reliable warehouse replenishment, consistent product availability and the operational capacity to protect continuity of plant activity. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large industrial group. Businesses with experience supplying filtration products to pilot plants, biopharmaceutical facilities or comparable process environments would be well placed to monitor this buyer’s future requirements and prepare for a similar limited competition route.
