## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited has recently completed a tender process for a Benchtop Robot, a laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a procurement value of £43,000 GBP. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method through competitive quotation. The tender deadline for submissions was 20th December 2023 with the contract period running from 21st December 2023 to 20th December 2024. The buying organisation based in Wilton, England, has awarded the contract to Waters Limited, a large supplier located in Cheshire.

This procurement opportunity for the Benchtop Robot by the Centre for Process Innovation Limited presents a chance for businesses involved in laboratory equipment and automation solutions to explore a competitive quotation process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in laboratory robotics and automation engineering would find this tender particularly relevant. Being a goods-focused procurement, businesses offering advanced liquid handling systems and connected software solutions for laboratory automation are well-suited to take advantage of this opportunity for growth and collaboration.

## Notice

CPI are in need of a simple to use, automated liquid handling system, using electronic pipettes (pipetting range 0.2 uL to 10 mL) to allow automation of multiple analytical workflows to include heating, shaking, tube/plate transport and solid-phase extraction using vacuum. Due to limited space in our lab, the robot must have flexibility to be used both in a fumehood or on the bench. We are looking to develop full walk-away automation solutions. It would be useful to have connected software that allows creation of automated workflows without any knowledge of programming, laboratory robotics or automation engineering. It would be useful for the software to allow remote monitoring of ongoing experiments.
