Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is procuring business development support services for its HealthTech and advanced materials work in the USA. The requirement is to accelerate market engagement and build a stronger pipeline of business opportunities by making targeted introductions, arranging and facilitating meetings, and supporting visits by CPI staff. Work is split between two geographical areas: the East Coast, focused on New England, and the West Coast of the USA. The New England area covers Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. This is a services opportunity combining business development consultancy with technical support, and is relevant to organisations able to operate across US regional stakeholder networks on behalf of an innovation and technology-focused public undertaking.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Responses were due by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The estimated total value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. It is divided into two lots, East Coast and West Coast, and suppliers can assess either geographical area against the specification and tender documents. Both lots have the same intended contract period, from 15 September 2026 to 29 March 2030, with four further 12-month extension options at the buyer’s discretion; the maximum possible period ends on 29 March 2034. Offers are evaluated on 70% quality and 30% price. The procurement uses a below-threshold open framework arrangement, with competition reopened either with or without further competition.

This opportunity suits SMEs and specialist business development consultancies with established networks in the relevant US markets. Strong candidates will be able to identify credible HealthTech and advanced materials stakeholders, secure targeted introductions, arrange productive senior-level meetings and help turn those relationships into a commercial pipeline. Suppliers should be capable of supporting CPI staff visits and working effectively with regional organisations across either New England or the US West Coast. The requirement favours firms with practical market-engagement experience, trusted local contacts and the ability to translate innovation and technical capabilities into business opportunities. Organisations focused on one coast may find the lot structure suitable, while firms with coverage of both regions can consider the wider requirement. The evaluation places greater emphasis on the quality of the proposed service than on price.
