## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking to enhance its pharmaceutical formulation capacity by procuring a Pharmaceutical Dissolution Apparatus for non-GMP work. This procurement is classified under laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a required investment of £55,000. The tender process is now complete, having been conducted under an open procedure and published on 16 January 2020. The contract commenced on 14 February 2020 and will run until 13 February 2024, with delivery expected in the North East of England. The tender period officially concluded on 4 February 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers in the scientific equipment sector, particularly those specialising in laboratory apparatus suited for pharmaceutical applications. Businesses that focus on innovative solutions for real-time UV analysis, online sampling, or continuous sampling loops may find themselves well-positioned to respond to similar future tenders. With the importance of compatibility with existing systems, such as the Distek Dissolution system, suppliers with relevant expertise will likely have a competitive advantage in subsequent procurement processes.

## Notice

National Formulation Centre within the Centre of Process Innovation (CPI) is looking to add to its pharmaceutical formulation capacity by purchasing a dissolution apparatus that enables real time UV analysis of dissolution characteristics of pharmaceutical formulations. This can be achieved either via online sampling using fibre optics or via continuous sampling loop connected to a UV-vis spectrometer. The system purchased should either be compatible with a Distek Dissolution system 2100C which is a part of CPI's current capacity or be supplied with a compatible dissolution apparatus.
