About
CENTRE FOR PROCESS INNOVATION LIMITED awarded a contract to Touchlight Genetics Ltd for the supply of enzymes and DNA template raw materials for mRNA COVID-19 vaccine development.
The contract, valued at £763,000, was procured via the negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32(2)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 due to absent competition for technical reasons.
The supplier provided its proprietary Doggy Bone DNA (dbDNA) template, which is uniquely manufactured, fully validated, and scalable, and was available in stock.
This avoided significant delays that would have occurred if another supplier had to negotiate a Material Transfer Agreement and develop a manufacturing process.
