UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking business development support for its HealthTech and advanced materials work in the United States. The service is intended to accelerate market engagement and grow CPI’s commercial pipeline by creating targeted introductions, arranging meetings and supporting visits by CPI staff. Suppliers will build and use networks with relevant stakeholders, helping CPI develop business opportunities in two geographical areas: the East Coast, with a particular focus on New England, and the West Coast. New England covers Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. This is a services requirement covering technical support and business development consultancy. Businesses with networks and market knowledge in these US regions, particularly across health technology or advanced materials, are likely to find the requirement relevant.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. It is arranged as an open framework, with contracts awarded either with or without reopening competition; the detailed process is set out in the specification and invitation to tender. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 12:00 on 14 September 2026. The requirement is divided into two lots, East Coast and West Coast, and suppliers can assess either regional opportunity. Each lot has an initial contract period from 30 March 2026 to 29 March 2030, with four optional 12-month extensions at the authority’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 29 March 2034. The overall estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Evaluation is 70% quality and 30% price.

This opportunity suits specialist business development consultancies, market-entry advisers and technical support firms able to generate commercial relationships in the US HealthTech and advanced materials sectors. Strong regional networks on the East Coast, especially in New England, or across the West Coast would be directly relevant, as would experience identifying stakeholders, securing targeted introductions and facilitating senior-level meetings. Suppliers should be able to support CPI staff visits and turn regional engagement into a credible pipeline of business opportunities. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to focused specialist firms as well as larger consultancies. Because quality carries substantially more weight than price, evidence of relevant sector knowledge, established contacts, effective engagement methods and successful business development outcomes is likely to be important.
