Located in Redcar, UK, this initiative falls within the pharmaceutical and industrial machinery industry categories, with specific interest in laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement stage is specifically at the planning and market engagement phase, with a deadline for responses set for 7th May 2026. This project aims to gather information regarding market capabilities and innovations to inform future procurement strategies. The total estimated value of the procurement is £1,200,000, and the contract is expected to span from June 2026 to June 2030, presenting significant opportunities for suppliers in the region. This engagement exercise by CPI offers an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, laboratory equipment, and precision instruments to demonstrate their expertise and innovation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this tender, given the suitability requirements outlined in the procurement details. By participating in this market engagement phase, businesses can better align with CPI’s needs and strengthen their position for potential procurement opportunities in the pharmaceutical processing sector. This is a strategic opportunity to engage directly with a public undertaking, enabling companies to influence the final procurement requirements and showcase their value-adding solutions. ## Notice CPI is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform a potential future procurement relating to a novel pharmaceutical manufacturing method. The purpose of this engagement is to understand market capabilities, capacity, innovations, indicative costs, and potential delivery timelines prior to finalising our procurement strategy. This notice does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment to proceed with a tender. It is an information gathering exercise only. ### Planning Information Interested suppliers are invited to submit a written response outlining their capabilities and relevant experience in delivering the indicative goods and services described above. Responses should clearly demonstrate technical competence, sector experience, and any value‑adding solutions the supplier can offer. Following the review of each submission, CPI will convene follow up engagement meetings with selected suppliers on a rolling basis, rather than deferring such interactions until the final submission deadline.
