Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has completed a procurement process for a 4 Year PhD Studentship entitled "Evaluation of transgenic Galleria mellonella to report disease status and screen therapies." The procurement, classified under research and development services (CPV Code: 73000000), used a direct procurement method through a single tender action, which was below the threshold. The contract is valued at £25,000 and covers the period from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2025. The tender period ended on 20th September 2021, with award notifications published on 26th October 2021.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in academic research, biotechnology, and related consultancy services. Companies with expertise in transgenic research or those capable of providing innovative solutions in the evaluation of disease responses and therapies would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process could be beneficial for larger organisations seeking to expand their collaborative efforts with academic institutions such as the University of Exeter, which was the awarded supplier for this contract.
