What is being bought

CPI has several plant and lab facilities comprising multiple Technology Centres that require the use of various weighing equipment to enable delivery of its multiple analytical and process requirements. Our facilities are situated in Sedgefield, Darlington, Glasgow and Wilton. This framework is intended to cover the servicing, repair works, calibration, and procurement of balances used across all CPI Technology Centres. The scope of this framework encompasses all balance equipment and associated components, including check weights used for performance verification and calibration. The range of balances covered includes a variety of specifications—from high-precision laboratory-scale desktop units up to one tonne plus industrial-grade balances, used across plant and warehouse facilities.
