## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), a public authority in the sub-central government category, successfully awarded a contract titled "Balance Calibration & Service Framework." This procurement process, which began with the tender notice on 12th September 2025, has reached the award stage with a contract signed on 6th November 2025. The framework covers services related to the calibration, servicing, and procurement of balances across CPI's facilities located in Sedgefield, Darlington, Glasgow, and Wilton, UK. The open competition procurement method was adopted for the contract, which is valued at £60,000 and runs from 10th November 2025 to 9th November 2028, with an option for renewal of 12 months at the authority's discretion.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in precision balance equipment and calibration services. Companies operating on a large scale, such as Northern Balance Ltd and North East Laboratory Supplies, who are already engaged as suppliers, highlight the potential for growth in providing high-precision laboratory and industrial-grade balances. The framework agreement, structured as an open competition and directly awarded, allows businesses adept in technical servicing and supply of weighing equipment to engage with CPI in supporting its technological and analytical operations across its multiple centres. Such opportunities can catalyse business growth, particularly for enterprises focused on precision measurements and calibration services.

## Notice

CPI has several plant and lab facilities comprising multiple Technology Centres that require the use of various weighing equipment to enable delivery of its multiple analytical and process requirements. Our facilities are situated in Sedgefield, Darlington, Glasgow and Wilton. This framework is intended to cover the servicing, repair works, calibration, and procurement of balances used across all CPI Technology Centres. The scope of this framework encompasses all balance equipment and associated components, including check weights used for performance verification and calibration. The range of balances covered includes a variety of specifications--from high-precision laboratory-scale desktop units up to one tonne plus industrial-grade balances, used across plant and warehouse facilities.
