Notice Title

Government Office for Technology Transfer: Technology Transfer and Commercialisation DPS

Notice Description

The UK's public sector is a thriving source of innovation. DSIT has established a new unit, the Government Office for Technology Transfer (GOTT), to support public sector organisations to unlock the potential of that innovation through the development and exploitation of knowledge assets (KAs). Within the public sector, KA's include intangible assets such as intellectual property, datasets, new ideas, processes, or methods, together with organisational knowhow and expertise. Exploitation routes include commercialisation or wider adoption within UK government or the wider public sector. The outcomes are similar - delivering benefit for the UK economy and society. GOTT is launching a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) containing multiple professional services categories from which we intend to draw down relevant sector-specific expertise in support of individual projects and developing wider capability focused on KAs. We are seeking experts with experience in Technology Transfer and Commercialisation to provide hands-on support and guidance to public sector organisations, GOTT's 'clients'. Many projects will involve the translation and commercialisation of KAs into opportunities which maximise economic, financial and/or societal benefits. Some projects may also focus on supporting GOTT's clients to develop their own internal capabilities to better manage and exploit their KAs in the future. GOTT's clients will hold KAs which have been identified to have potential for wider market adoption and commercialisation and wish to understand routes to exploit these assets. Dependent upon the needs of each client project, providers might be commissioned to help assess the market potential for client-owned assets or help to evaluate the route to market where potential has already been identified, in order to advance the commercial case for development and exploitation. There may also be targeted support focused on intellectual property identification, due diligence, and protection. In some cases, GOTT may require access to legal expertise for client projects and issues that may be encountered along the commercialisation/exploitation process. Additional information: The DPS will be broken down into 2 categories. The examples included against these categories are not exhaustive. All services that are encompassed under these categorisations are to be incorporated under the category. Category 1: Market research and market need - Market opportunity identification; - Identification of potential customers, collaborators and/or partners; - Competitor analysis; - Market segmentation; and/or other market research services Category 2: IP and commercialisation strategy - IP valuation; - freedom to operate and IP competitive landscape analysis; - IP ownership due diligence; - IP protection; - Commercialisation strategy; - Analysis and advice on potential commercialisation routes; - Establishing a value proposition for a new technology; - Other IP and commercialisation strategy support - Development, drafting, and negotiation of agreements - Support for preparation for fund raising from debt or equity - Development of resources and best practice guidance for knowledge asset management, protection, and exploitation - Workshop delivery and facilitation to support KA identification, development, and exploitation of knowledge assets. The DPS will be hosted on the Jaggaer eSourcing platform : https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com Should you wish to apply to join the DPS, you will need to register on the Jaggaer eSourcing platform and the details of how to do this are set out here : https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/ogc-host/public/beisgroup/web/user_guide.jst The DPS Documentation will remain electronically accessible and available for the duration of the DPS and can be accessed via the Jaggaer eSourcing platform. Bidders should be aware that, in relation to any services instructed under the DPS, the supplier will need to work with GOTT and with the relevant public sector organisation(s) that GOTT is supporting in its development of KA management and exploitation (further information about GOTT's potential client organisations are set out in the procurement documents). The Contract Terms include provisions that ensure that GOTT's client public sector organisations receive the full benefit (including, where applicable, ownership) of any services and deliverables that are provided by the supplier.
