The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has conducted a procurement process titled "Materials Handling Equipment Framework," classified under the industry category for Forklift trucks (CPV 42415110). The process aimed to establish a framework agreement for leasing materials handling equipment to support operational needs across CPI's facilities in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting regions like North East England and Glasgow, Scotland.
