## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) has recently concluded a procurement process for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a robotic autosampler, valued at £17,500. The procurement, classified under the category of laboratory equipment, was conducted using an open procedure. The tender period closed on 29th January 2020, with a contract starting from 3rd February 2020 and running until 2nd February 2025. The robotic autosampler will be installed in Redcar, North East England, to enhance liquid formulation stability testing capabilities.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with advanced laboratory equipment markets. Companies specialising in precision instruments, automation technologies, or related support services would be well-positioned to compete, leveraging the evolving needs in research and development driven by CPI’s initiatives.

## Notice

CPI has a requirement to add a benchtop robotic autosampler and collection system to its toolset. The tool will be used as part of a testing platform for liquid formulation stability screening. The tool will be used to auto-inject fluid samples on the micro-scale through microfluidic devices, followed by auto-collection in 96 well plates.
