## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is conducting a procurement process titled "Framework of suppliers to provide lab equipment and associated after sales services". This procurement falls within the laboratory equipment industry, with a total estimated value of £10,000,000. The process is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 29 April 2021, with contract performance set to commence on 5 May 2021 and extending through to 2 May 2025. The tender covers various lots aimed at supplying laboratory equipment as required for CPI's Biologics business unit, and is located in Redcar, England.
