## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), based in Redcar, United Kingdom, recently completed its procurement process for a framework agreement involving the supply of a wide range of lipids. The industry category for this procurement is chemical products, specifically targeting chemical compounds used in lipid nanoparticle development. The procurement process, conducted through an open procedure, reached its award stage on 15th June 2026, with a standstill period ending on 25th June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 28th June 2026 and run until 27th June 2034. The agreement includes lots for both GMP and non-GMP grade lipids, provided by suppliers in formats suitable for research, pilot or GMP grade use.

The framework agreement offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, specifically those specialising in the production of lipids. Large companies like North England Laboratory Supplies and international firms such as Medchemtronica AB are among the awarded suppliers, indicating the scale and capacity required to engage successfully in this procurement. This agreement can potentially provide significant growth avenues, allowing businesses to supply essential components for R&D and pilot-scale activities within CPI's various innovation centres. Suppliers capable of maintaining competitive pricing, quality, and the ability to offer ancillary services, such as technical support and logistics, will find this framework especially beneficial for long-term business growth.

## Notice

CPI requires a framework of approved suppliers capable of providing a broad range of lipids to support ongoing R&D, pilot-scale, and GMP activities across the Formulation Centre, Biologics Centre, and the RNA Centre of Excellence. The goods in scope primarily include ionisable lipids, helper lipids (e.g. DSPC, DOPE), cholesterol, PEGylated lipids, and other functionalised or custom lipids used in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and related nano formulation development. Lipids may be required in research, pilot, or GMP grade, and supplied in various formats including powders, solutions, or ready-to-use concentrates. Ancillary services such as technical support, provision of Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), GMP documentation packages, and temperature-controlled logistics are also within scope.
