Summary of the contracting process

The latest procurement process by the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGT Catapult), a sub-central government public authority located in London, focuses on obtaining services for "Indepth Interviews". This procurement, under the industry category of technical analysis or consultancy services, involves conducting interviews to evaluate the impact and performance of CGT Catapult. The procurement process used a direct method, below the competitive threshold, leading to an award to Technopolis Limited, a large supplier based in Brighton. The contract was successfully awarded on 13 May 2025, and it encompasses a contract period from 14 May 2025 to 11 May 2026, with services delivered across multiple UK regions.

This procurement presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses operating in the research, technology, innovation, pharmaceutical, and life sciences sectors. It specifically calls for companies with expertise in conducting comprehensive interviews and providing consultancy services. Although Technopolis Limited has secured the award for this contract, similar future opportunities are well-suited for specialist consultancy firms, particularly those experienced in collaborating with public sector organisations and capable of demonstrating impact assessment skills. The nature of this procurement suggests potential competitiveness for SMEs and large enterprises passionate about delivering value in the consultancy domain.
