UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for CRISPR services under the tender ID GSS25219. This procurement process, which falls under the industry category of research and experimental development services, took place in the Swindon area (UKK14), United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract signed on 30 March 2025. The services involve injecting 240 embryos, screening for dsRed+ during the pupae stage, removing Cas9 carrying chromosomes, and balancing transformants over balancer chromosomes. This contract, valued at 20,000 USD, was awarded through a direct procurement method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, specifically to the supplier GenetiVision Corporation based in the United States. The services are to be delivered by 30 September 2025.

This contract presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in genetic and biotechnology services, particularly those with specialisations in CRISPR technology. Organisations capable of providing highly technical, specialised research and development services might find similar opportunities in this sector. The direct procurement method indicates a niche requirement that GenetiVision Corporation was uniquely qualified to fulfil, suggesting that other businesses with equivalent or superior capabilities in this field could position themselves for future tenders. Companies looking to grow their business in the biotechnology industry, especially those capable of cutting-edge genetic research, would benefit from monitoring such tenders.
