## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited has awarded a contract for the Supply of Parallel Plate Rheometer to Waters Limited. The procurement stage was an open procedure, and the contract value is £177,897.50 GBP. The contract period is from 20th March 2023 to 19th February 2027. This tender opportunity falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment and was located in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses dealing with laboratory, optical, and precision equipment to grow by supplying Parallel Plate Rheometers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the production or distribution of such equipment would be well-suited to compete during the tender process. The Centre for Process Innovation Limited, as the buying organisation, sought to enhance its thermoplastic processing capability through the acquisition of this specialized equipment, providing a clear focus for businesses looking to fulfil this requirement.

## Notice

Tender to establish a single supplier framework for the supply of Parallel Plate Rheometer and Aftersales Support. To complement the enhancement of thermoplastic processing capability, CPI are looking to procure a new, parallel plate rheometer with enhanced features such as to carry out the rheometry characterisation at an enhanced temperature to aid with the development of these formulations. This PPlate rheometer will be used for the characterisation of polymeric formulations at a trial scale for the development of novel blends. Blends will be modified based on these study results to provide further optimisation. The interest area is broad and it will include commodity polymers, engineering polymers, biopolymer, adhesives, gels liquids etc. The main take-off from this PPlate rheometer will be understanding the viscoelastic properties of the polymeric material and in turn ability to predict its performance on a real time application.
