UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cell Therapy Catapult Limited, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the United Kingdom, has completed a direct procurement process for the services of a regulatory affairs consultant. The contract was awarded to Lex Regulatory Ltd and involves expertise in cell and gene therapies, specifically CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls), which is a niche area with limited independent consultants available in the UK. The procurement was conducted below the competition threshold and focuses on financial consultancy services within the UK region. The contract was awarded on 13th May 2025, with a contractual period set to start on 15th May 2025 and end on 28th March 2029.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities in the specialised field of regulatory affairs consulting within the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industry. Companies with expertise in cell and gene therapy regulation, particularly those offering comprehensive consulting services like CMC, stand a good chance to compete in similar future opportunities. While large-scale consultancy firms like Lex Regulatory Ltd secured the current contract, smaller enterprises with relevant specialisation and the ability to establish strong partnerships could also find avenues for growth in this sector.
