## Summary

The procurement process involves the Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) contracting Xandor Automotive Limited for sub-contract services related to an Innovate UK project. The process was initiated as a single tender action, justified by the absence of alternative providers and the unique technical requirements of the project. The contract, valued at £42,313, was awarded under the services category focused on research and development, with its start date on 11th October 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2022. The tender was published on 7th December 2021 with the associated procurement structured as a direct procurement method due to its specific nature.

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in research and development services. Companies that are able to showcase relevant technical capabilities and have prior experience in collaborative innovation projects may find significant advantages in competing for similar contracts. The project's focus on specialised knowledge and the direct procurement method indicates a reliance on proven capabilities, making it essential for businesses to highlight their unique qualifications and past performance when applying.

## Notice

Single Tender is justified under Reg 32 b - competition is absent for technical reasons: Xandor Automotive were initially due to partner with CPI for some Innovate UK funded works, however due to instruction from funding body, they were unable to be listed as a partner due to the project duration, so have had to be named as a Sub-Contractor. Competitively procuring these services would be a significant duplication of costs as the sub-contractor was involved in preliminary works prior to the project beginning.
