In plain English

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) wants to set up supply arrangements for everyday laboratory items. This covers general lab equipment such as glassware, beakers, tubes, vials and plastics, plus chemicals and reagents like solvents, acids, buffers and analytical standards. The goal is to have reliable suppliers who deliver to all of CPI's sites.

What the buyer wants

• Supply a wide range of laboratory consumables, including plasticware, glassware, analytical consumables and chemicals or reagents • Maintain consistent product quality and continuous supply across all CPI sites • Deliver orders on time to CPI's multiple locations

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not list specific qualifications, values or thresholds, but it asks for suppliers who are "suitably qualified and experienced" and can guarantee supply continuity and timely delivery across all CPI sites, which may be hard for a small business to demonstrate without a track record or the capacity to supply several sites at once.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.

Bids for this tender go through In-Tend: register or sign in.
