Summary of the contracting process

Cell Therapy Catapult Limited bought an annual support and maintenance service for its existing Board application from Better Decisions Group Ltd. The agreement covers support for CGTC under a service-level agreement, including resolution of issues that require BDG to assign a consultant at short notice. The procurement is classified as services and the associated classifications cover database and operating software and financial and insurance services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a renewal of an existing arrangement, focused on maintaining and supporting the Board application rather than procuring a new system. The buyer is Cell Therapy Catapult Limited, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Better Decisions Group Ltd. It was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 9 October 2027. The contract value is £132,540 including VAT. This was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The process had one lot, covering the support and maintenance agreement. The stated requirement is a service-level agreement for issue resolution, with consultant assignment at short notice when needed. The supplier was selected through the direct award route; the published contracting information does not set out a separate evaluation basis or supplier eligibility criteria.

For suppliers considering similar work for Cell Therapy Catapult Limited, this award demonstrates demand for ongoing support of its Board application, including maintenance, service-level issue resolution and the ability to assign a consultant at short notice. Credibility would depend on relevant application-support expertise, a dependable issue-response service and sufficient consultant capacity to respond quickly when required. Experience supporting the existing application or comparable systems would be commercially relevant, alongside the ability to maintain continuity through a renewal arrangement. The award went to an SME, Better Decisions Group Ltd, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier. The procurement used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should understand that the route used for this contract did not involve an open competition.
