Summary of the contracting process

The Government Office for Technology Transfer (GOTT), located in Salford, UK, is leading a procurement process to enhance innovation and development within the public sector. With a focus on services, particularly in research services, the office is implementing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to leverage professional expertise in Technology Transfer and Commercialisation. The process, supported by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), falls under "Research and development services and related consultancy services". It is currently in the tender stage with the initiative managed through selective procurement methods, employing a restricted procedure. Although the DPS has been extended by 12 months as permitted within the original contract notice, the procurement method remains unchanged.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy, particularly those adept in Technology Transfer and Commercialisation. Organisations providing expert guidance in the utilisation of knowledge assets such as intellectual property, datasets, and innovative processes can benefit significantly by engaging with public sector projects targeting economic and societal advancement. Companies experienced in market research, IP strategy, and commercialisation strategies stand to gain by expanding their services to GOTT's clientele, facilitating the translation of knowledge assets into market opportunities. This procurement process is suited for firms that offer market segmentation, competitor analysis, and IP protection, enabling them to showcase their expertise to public organisations with ambitions of leveraging their intangible assets.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Government Office for Technology Transfer 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.
