## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) bought specialist research and consultancy services to map the UK regulatory landscape for genetically modified medicines, specifically engineered bacterial therapeutics. The work covers a regulatory mapping exercise for this emerging therapeutic area, with example companies including Prokarium, Neobe Tx and CHAIN Biotech. It is a services requirement combining research and development consultancy with market research. Delivery is centred on the United Kingdom, with the recorded delivery coverage also extending to Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is DSIT, with procurement support associated with UK Shared Business Services.

This process has been awarded and is complete. DSIT selected Technopolis Limited on 24 July 2026. The award value is £49,550. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 10 February 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from the Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System RM6126, rather than as an open tender. The recorded tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 11:00. Technopolis Limited is the sole recorded awardee, and the award is active. The procurement was identified as research and development consultancy services, with market research as an additional classification. It was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award signals demand from DSIT for specialist evidence and analysis at the intersection of biotechnology, engineered bacterial therapeutics and medicines regulation. Businesses likely to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need a strong understanding of the UK regulatory environment for genetically modified medicines, together with the ability to map complex regulatory pathways clearly and accurately. Relevant market research, regulatory intelligence and research consultancy capability would be important, as would experience analysing innovative life-sciences markets and communicating findings to a government client. The successful supplier demonstrates that an established research consultancy can meet the requirement, while the stated SME suitability indicates that appropriately qualified smaller specialist firms may also be competitive.
