UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult procured a cloud-based scientific literature content and management platform. The service is intended to give all staff efficient access to scholarly articles, research papers and other relevant business, pharmaceutical and regulatory content. This is primarily a software and information-systems requirement, including industry-specific software (CPV 48000000 and 48100000). The buyer is Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult, a public undertaking operating from London. The requirement covers the platform and its associated content-management capability rather than physical works or goods. It is relevant to software providers, specialist research-information suppliers and content-platform businesses serving scientific, pharmaceutical, biotechnology or regulatory users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method details are ‘below threshold - unknown’. It was a single-lot requirement. LiveData Limited was awarded the contract on 21 September 2026 for £30,000 gross. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 September 2027, with options for two further one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 28 September 2029. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 25 September 2026. The award is active and relates to software and information systems. The published outcome identifies LiveData Limited as the selected supplier; no separate award values or suppliers are recorded.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult’s research-information needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a reliable cloud platform that brings scholarly literature, research papers and business, pharmaceutical and regulatory content together for organisation-wide access. Relevant strengths would include scientific information management, searchable content delivery, user access across a specialist workforce, and software suited to biotechnology or pharmaceutical environments. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate experience delivering industry-specific information systems at organisational scale, with the operational capability to maintain the platform and its content service over a multi-year arrangement.
