## Description

\*\*\*\*\* THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION \*\*\*\*\* This procurement is being concluded following an open tender\. Innovate UK is delivering a component of the ODA funded, UK vaccines Network \(UKVN\) on behalf of the Department for Health & Social Care \(DHSC\)\. To date the UKVN has invested £110M to support the development of vaccines for diseases that have outbreak potential\. In the last 8 years IUK have delivered a £85M programme of work, specifically aimed at the development of platforms and vaccines that will have utility in Low- and Middle-Income Countries against diseases of epidemic potential\. DHSC have just committed a further £45M, for a 4-year in the programme, to be delivered by IUK, to invest in on-going projects and new platforms and technologies\. To reduce the risk of regulatory and technical failure as the projects move through pre-clinical and clinical development, current stage 1 projects will be asked to produce a Business Case and Technical Plan \(BC&TP\)\. This will give confidence to DHSC and IUK that the projects are more likely to complete to cost, time and quality constraints\. These BC&TP documents will be reviewed by external independent assessors\. The outcome of these reviews will be fundamental to the decision of whether the stage 1 projects are successful in receiving funding in stage 2 of the programme\. IUK are therefore seeking to fund an organisation, or consortium of experts, to review the Business and Technical Plans \(BC&TPs\) that the funded projects have been contracted to produce\.
