Description

CPI requires a framework of approved suppliers capable of providing a broad range of lipids to support ongoing R&D, pilot-scale, and GMP activities across the Formulation Centre, Biologics Centre, and the RNA Centre of Excellence. The goods in scope primarily include ionisable lipids, helper lipids (e.g. DSPC, DOPE), cholesterol, PEGylated lipids, and other functionalised or custom lipids used in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and related nano formulation development. Lipids may be required in research, pilot, or GMP grade, and supplied in various formats including powders, solutions, or ready-to-use concentrates. Ancillary services such as technical support, provision of Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), GMP documentation packages, and temperature-controlled logistics are also within scope.
