## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking suppliers for the project titled "The Supply, Installation and Commissioning of a Non-contact Profilometer," aimed at enhancing their capabilities with a new 3D non-contact measurement tool applicable to various substrates. The procurement falls under the goods category within the laboratory, optical, and precision equipment industry, and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 9th February 2021, with the contract initially published on 3rd December 2020. The total value of the awarded contract is £49,455, and the contract period runs from 11th February 2021 to 10th February 2025, following a direct procurement method due to previous unsuccessful tender attempts.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in laboratory equipment and precision instrumentation. Businesses with expertise in 3D non-contact measurement technologies, particularly those that can demonstrate innovative solutions for flexible and rigid substrates, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. As the contract is notably below the threshold, this single tender action provides an accessible entry point for SMEs looking to engage with a reputable organisation like the Centre for Process Innovation Limited.

## Notice

CPI is looking to expand their capability with the addition of a 3D non-contact measurement tool for the use with flexible and rigid substrates (both transparent and opaque) including Glass, FR4, PET, Paper & PI. The tool will provide data, imagery and reports on print dimensions, print thickness, uniformity and surface roughness. Please submit all clarifications through the portal. Additional information: CPI have recently ran a Tender for The Supply, Installation and Commissioning of an Non-contact Profilometer - Ref 1967. Following completion of this exercise, CPI was unable to make an award recommendation due to the responses received exceeded budget: CPI have tested the market and received no acceptable bids for the requirement, therefore a single tender is justified under Reg 32 (2a) - where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure.
