## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is currently conducting a tender for the "Framework for MMIC Powder Feeding/Blending, PAT, Data Management - GC1" aimed at providing equipment for a development phase that will eventually inform the establishment of a next-generation continuous test bed. This key contract falls under the goods procurement category with a significant contract value of £2 million. The procurement process, initiated as an open tender, includes a main equipment lot requiring proposals for a continuous feeder and blender platform for delivery in the UK. Important dates include the tender submission deadline on 4 March 2019 and the contract signing that took place on 5 August 2019, marking the commencement of a contract period lasting 1440 days.

This project presents excellent opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying process equipment, especially those specialising in blending and feeding systems. Suppliers of advanced analytical instrumentation, particularly those with experience in PAT (Process Analytical Technology) systems, will find this tender highly relevant. Given the complexity and technical requirements of the equipment sought, companies that can deliver innovative and cost-competitive solutions would be ideally positioned to compete and thrive in this procurement process.

## Notice

The primary aim of this tender is to provide equipment for a development phase to inform the establishment of a next generation continuous direct compression digital test bed. This phase will be sited in University of Strathclyde Glasgow and the next phase, in approximately two years time in Inchinnan Renfrewshire whereupon the scope is likely to be further developed to include further unit operations.

### Lot Information

1195 - Lot 1 - Main Equipment

provide a continuous feeder and blender platform

1195 - Lot 2 - Process Analytics

A NIR instrument is specified for this application which must be capable of integration in the output of the continuous blender. A PAT NIR instrument and associated interface is required for inline, real time, monitoring of blend uniformity and content at the exit of the blender. Instrument control and data acquistion must be implemented through a PAT Management System (PMS).

1195 - Lot 3 - APC and Data Management

The supervisory control system and data platform Developing the underpinning data platform, model integration and setup of the supervisory control system will be an integral part of the project. The platform will drive the standardisation of data from materials characterisation, prediction and modelling and process measurements, and will capture all useful metadata to facilitate evolving process understanding. The supervisory control system will allow us to trace material and reconsolidate the data from the different processes and the NIRS.
