UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is buying business development consultancy and technical support to grow its HealthTech and advanced materials pipeline in the USA. The work covers targeted introductions to regional stakeholders, arranging and facilitating meetings, and supporting CPI staff visits, with the aim of building networks and business opportunities. There are two service areas: the East Coast, with a focus on New England—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont—and the West Coast of the USA. This is a services requirement for a supplier able to operate across relevant US innovation, health technology and advanced materials networks and support CPI’s market engagement activity.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Bids must be submitted by 12:00 on 14 September 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The requirement is divided into East Coast and West Coast lots, each suitable for SMEs. Each lot has an initial contract period from 30 March 2026 to 29 March 2030, with four optional 12-month extensions available at the authority’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 29 March 2034. Awards will be assessed 70% on quality and 30% on price, with details in the specification and invitation to tender.

This opportunity suits specialist business development consultancies, market-entry advisers and innovation-sector networks with established capability in the United States. Suppliers should be able to identify and secure targeted introductions, build relationships with regional stakeholders, arrange productive meetings and support visiting CPI staff. Relevant experience in HealthTech, advanced materials or closely related technology markets will help a bidder understand the commercial and technical context and generate credible opportunities. The requirement is split geographically, so businesses may be well placed to pursue either the New England-focused East Coast work, the West Coast work, or both where they have suitable coverage. SMEs are expressly identified as suitable, and the framework arrangement may support repeat opportunities.
