## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking suppliers for the procurement of pumps for encapsulation as part of its COVID-19 vaccine project. This contracting process is classified under laboratory pumps and accessories in the goods category. The procurement has occurred through a direct method as a single tender action due to specific technical requirements that limited competition. The contract period commenced on 30 April 2021 and will run until 29 April 2022, while the procurement stage is currently at the award phase, having been completed on 30 April 2021. The contract value is £60,000 and the delivery location is in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in the supply of laboratory equipment and pumps, particularly in compliance with the necessary technical standards. Businesses that can demonstrate the capability to deliver the specified pumps in line with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project. Engaging with this contract may also provide suppliers with valuable experience and exposure in the pharmaceutical supply sector during a critical period for public health.

## Notice

CPI require pumps for encapsulation to use as part of its response to COVID-19 vaccine project. The Public Contract Regulations 2015 state in regulation 32.2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- (b)where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (ii)competition is absent for technical reasons. The technical transfer of the current manufacturing process CPI are receiving is based upon use of prespecified pumps. Due to operating under GMP conditions, we are therefore restricted to the same supplier to ensure that we do not deviate from their existing process.
