## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) is seeking suppliers for the procurement of a standalone pilot scale centrifuge, a vital piece of laboratory equipment necessary for separating biological cells from fermentation media. This procurement falls under the category of goods and has a value of £50,000. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the tender originally published on 19 October 2020 and closing on 3 November 2020. The contract period spans from 19 November 2020 to 18 November 2024, with delivery expected within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in laboratory equipment and accessories. Suppliers with the capability to provide comparable centrifuge technology or custom solutions tailored to CPI’s requirements are encouraged to participate. Engaging in this contract could enhance market presence and foster relationships within the biotechnology and research sectors, leveraging CPI's position in driving innovation in process engineering.

## Notice

CPI require a standalone unit for use in a pilot scale laboratory. The equipment will have a continuous mode of operation for the primary objective for the separation of biological cells (whole or disrupted) from spent fermentation media. The equipment will enable separation of solid/liquid suspensions at pilot process volume scales (typically 50-1500L) and provide results which are comparable & scalable to those achieved with CPI's existing disc stack technology centrifuges (Existing centrifuges are Alfa laval Clara 20 & Westfalia HFE 45-01-177).
