In plain English

Centre for Process Innovation is looking for a specialist company to design and build a complete chemical processing system (skid) that converts acrylonitrile monomers into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer. This is a major engineering project worth around £1 million, and they want to understand what vendors can deliver before moving to formal tender.

What the buyer wants

• Provide process technology and engineering design for an acrylonitrile polymerisation system on a portable skid-mounted unit • Build and deliver the complete system under NEC4 Engineering and Construction contract terms • Sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect CPI's intellectual property

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a highly specialized contract requiring significant chemical engineering and bespoke manufacturing capability: most small building, cleaning, electrical, or plumbing trades will not be qualified. You would need proven expertise in chemical process design and skid-mounted equipment fabrication, which is rare outside large engineering firms.
