Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is buying laboratory consumables for its laboratory operations across its sites. The requirement is divided into two lots: general laboratory consumables, including glassware, bottles, beakers, flasks, sample containers, filtration products, tubes, vials, microplates, laboratory plastics, sterile and analytical consumables; and laboratory chemicals and reagents, including solvents, buffers, media, acids, alkalis, analytical standards, calibration materials and biological reagents. The chemicals lot supports routine laboratory work, testing, analysis and research, as well as specialist applications. Suppliers can compete for either or both lots. The goods are to be delivered to CPI sites in the United Kingdom.

CPI invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement uses a framework agreement, with contracts awarded by direct award or mini-competition, and supplier refresh points intended during the framework. The deadline for enquiries is not stated. Bids were due by 2 December 2026 at 23:59, with an award decision due by 21 January 2027 at 23:59. The contract period for each lot is 9 February 2027 to 8 March 2030, with a maximum framework term ending 7 March 2035. The framework is described as lasting 96 months, with opportunities to admit new suppliers at years 3 and 5. Each lot is evaluated on price (60%), account management and support (15%), accuracy and quality (15%), and lead times (10%). The published lot values are £0.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide a broad, dependable range of laboratory goods and maintain consistent product quality, continuity of supply and timely delivery across multiple sites. General consumables suppliers should be able to source and supply laboratory glassware, plasticware, sterile and analytical products, filtration equipment and common containers. The chemicals and reagents lot is relevant to distributors serving routine and specialist laboratory applications, including solvents, buffers, media, acids, alkalis, standards and biological reagents. CPI has indicated that both lots are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The scoring gives price the largest share, while also rewarding short lead times, accurate and high-quality supply, and effective account management and support; suppliers should be equipped to demonstrate strength in those areas.
