## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is conducting a public procurement process for the supply of a Raman Spectrometer, classified under laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This open procedure is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £250,000. The procurement took place in the UK, with bids having been submitted by 3 September 2021. Interested suppliers were invited to demonstrate their capability to deliver the equipment, which is crucial for assessing liquid culture samples and ensuring product quality within a specific laboratory environment.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the scientific instrumentation, laboratory supplies, and analytical services sectors. Companies with expertise in the design, manufacture, and integration of laboratory equipment, particularly those that can assure compatibility with existing systems such as the ambr-250, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on quality, delivery lead times, and aftersales support suggests a strong value placed on service and reliability, emphasizing the need for bidders to demonstrate comprehensive support and technical expertise.

## Notice

CPI require a Raman Spectrometer to be utilised in order to assess the composition of liquid culture samples and to evaluate product quality and titre in an in-line manner. The integrated spectrometer is intended to act as both a primary analytical assay in its own right, and as a robust multiplex alternative to the other cell enumeration, titre and metabolite assays currently available on-site. It is critical to note that the ability of the system to be directly integrated with an ambr-250 at both a hardware and software level is of paramount importance. Raman spectra produced using the spectrometer should be capable of being fed back to the ambr-250 and utilised to control related cell culture parameters, such as feeding rates, in an automated manner.
