Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves CELL THERAPY CATAPULT LIMITED, a public authority operating at a sub-central government level, located in London, UK. The contract is titled "Macroeconomic Study Phase II" and falls under the industry category of research and development services. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract dated 17th June 2026. The legal basis for the tender is the UKPGA 2023/54, and the procurement method used was a direct award due to the specific macroeconomic and ATMP expertise required. The contract period is scheduled from 31st July 2026 to 30th July 2027, covering multiple regions across the UK.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those with expertise in cell and gene therapies. While the contract was awarded directly to OHE Consulting Limited, firms with similar skills might find opportunities in complementary areas of consulting and advisory services in this niche market. Given the project's specific requirements, businesses well-suited to compete would likely be SMEs with a strong background in macroeconomic evaluation and an understanding of advanced therapies medicinal products (ATMP). This sector's potential for growth suggests sustained demand for specialist consultancy services.

Notice Title

Macroeconomic Study Phase II

Notice Description

To carry out Phase II of the macroeconomic evaluation of the potential of cell and gene therapies.

Procurement Information

This is a continuation of a project already carried out by OHE Consulting Ltd for CGT Catapult. OHE will be carrying out the second phase of the macroeconomic evaluation of the potential of cell and gene therapies. This second phase will evaluate the wider benefits and costs. OHE Consulting Ltd were given a direct award to carry out the first phase of the study due to their specific macroeconomic skills, as well as a thorough understanding of the ATMP space. It would not be appropriate to put this project continuation out to tender given the bespoke and niche nature of the work.
