## Summary

CPI (Centre for Process Innovation) bought a range of filters for its National Industrial Biotechnology Facility (NIBF1), a pilot plant with bioreactors ranging from 10 litres to 750 litres. The filters are intended to restock the warehouse and maintain business continuity while CPI develops a wider framework covering its facilities. The requirement is for goods in the gas-filter category, covering delivery to CPI’s facility at the Wilton Centre in Wilton, Redcar, and potentially locations across the United Kingdom and wider delivery areas. This is an industrial and bioprocess consumables supply requirement, rather than a construction, consultancy or operational services contract. Suppliers serving pilot plants, biopharmaceutical production, industrial biotechnology and related process environments would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 23 July 2026. CPI awarded the contract to BioPharma Dynamics on 4 August 2026 for £43,637.56 including the stated currency of GBP. The award contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. The requirement was presented as a single purchase of filters, with the contract intended to support warehouse restocking and continuity of pilot-plant operations. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available procurement details identify the restricted route but do not set out a separate evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates established demand from CPI for specialist filtration products used in pilot-scale industrial biotechnology. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to suitable gas and process filters, the ability to supply a varied range for bioreactor operations from 10 litres to 750 litres, and robust stock-control and fulfilment arrangements. Experience supporting biopharmaceutical, biotechnology or other controlled process environments would help demonstrate understanding of operational continuity and replenishment requirements. Suppliers should be able to manage a consolidated warehouse-restocking order, maintain consistent product quality and traceability, and deliver reliably to CPI’s Wilton facility. The stated SME unsuitability indicates that scale, breadth of catalogue, supply-chain resilience or proven capacity may be important when competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer.

## Notice

CPI's National Industrial Biotechnology Facility (NIBF1) is a pilot plant containing a range of bioreactor scales from 10L to 750L. This specification is for the purchase of a range of filters required to restock the warehouse to ensure business continuity whilst a wider larger cross CPI framework is procured.
