Brief Description of Requirement
The Office for Life Sciences (OLS) is a joint unit of the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), with the objective of maximising the UK’s strengths in science and research to support the development and adoption of 21st century health and life sciences technology, delivering the best health outcomes and increasing wider growth and prosperity.
We work with business, other Government Departments and executive agencies, Innovate UK, the Research Councils, public health bodies and other partners to deliver the Life Sciences Vision and to create the conditions that allow businesses in our sectors to exploit the latest advances in science and technology. We influence and use our connections to maintain UK global leadership in health and life sciences. We work effectively with industries across these and closely related sectors, building and managing relationships with strategically important companies in our sector.
Our work supports increased inward investment, growth in exports, and resolution of problems that could lead to disinvestment.
OLS wishes to procure a one-year contract to produce a dataset on life science companies operating in the UK for 2023 ending in October 2024. With reference to clause 14 in the terms and conditions, the Authority may wish, with the agreement of the contractor to put in place an extension for one year (up to October 2025) and a further subsequent year (up to October 2026) if the initial extension is applied after the initial contract end.
The Contract duration shall be for a period of 1 year with optional extensions of +1 and +1 year period from commencement of the Contract.
