Description

CPI requires access to a pool of specialist consultants, to complement its own internal knowledge and experience related to the strategic development of the UK’s Bioeconomy/Engineering Biology capabilities in support of the UK Government’s Modern Industrial Strategy and its Plan for Change missions. The Industrial Strategy highlights Engineering Biology (EB) as a Frontier Technology focus area for the UK. EB, and the Bioeconomy more broadly, directly supports five of the eight Industrial Strategy Priority sectors – Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Defence, Life Sciences and Digital and Technologies. CPI works with the UK Government, partners and stakeholder in the development of business cases and strategic proposals to help address national opportunities in these areas and is seeking to establish a procurement framework which enables it to flexibly and responsively bring in specialist input external to the organisation to assist with these activities.
