UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking specialist consultancy providers for a framework covering advisory and investigative services across technical and professional disciplines. The scope includes root-cause investigations into accidents and incidents, operational safety, risk management, regulatory compliance, asset integrity, project delivery and organisational effectiveness. Providers will deliver independent, evidence-based advice, technical assurance, reporting, recommendations and corrective actions, alongside related services. The work is intended to support safe, compliant and effective operations, using competent professionals with appropriate qualifications and experience. The procurement is associated with building, building-fabric and building-services consultancy. CPI is based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar, and the services will support its operational requirements in the United Kingdom.

The process has reached tender: CPI invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It will establish a closed framework with one provider, with call-offs made by direct award without reopening competition. Bids had to be submitted electronically through CPI’s e-tendering system by 30 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The initial contract period is 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2029, with one discretionary 12-month extension, giving a maximum end date of 7 October 2030. The estimated value is £173,099.99 excluding VAT and £207,720 including VAT; the lot record publishes the same amounts in AED. Evaluation is 40% technical capability and investigation approach, 30% capacity, responsiveness and quality assurance, and 30% price. The framework has one lot.

This opportunity suits consultancy firms able to mobilise multidisciplinary teams for complex investigations and technical assignments. Strong bidders will demonstrate evidence gathering, analysis, root-cause identification, technical assurance, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, reporting, and the development and implementation of corrective actions. The requirement also favours providers able to supply suitably qualified and experienced specialists across several disciplines, respond to urgent requests and manage multiple concurrent commissions. Bidders need credible resource planning, mobilisation, competence assurance, quality management, business continuity and performance-monitoring arrangements. Experience of delivering comparable consultancy outcomes should be evidenced, with a clear method for controlling scope, programme, cost, quality and service requirements. Firms with broad technical coverage and dependable specialist capacity are likely to be best placed.
