Description
CPI is seeking qualified and experienced suppliers to be appointed to a framework agreement for the supply of gas manifold regulators to our facilities. We are looking for suppliers who can demonstrate technical competence, a strong track record of delivery, and a commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability.
This requirement relates to the replacement of all single-stage gas regulators across the building, in line with statutory regulations. These regulators are installed in every laboratory and plant room, with approximately 250 units currently in operation. They support various gas lines, including Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, and Carbon Dioxide 5%.
The existing regulators have exceeded their recommended 10-year lifecycle, as specified in CP039. Continued use beyond this period increases the risk of failure and poses safety risks to personnel, particularly in laboratory environments.
