Description of Scope of Requirements:
UKHSA sees access to oligonucleotide manufacturers as key to increasing the UK's biosecurity, preparedness and resilience for infectious diseases. Oligonucleotides are a ubiquitous reagent used widely at many stages for research, development and use of diagnostics and countermeasures for infectious disease. Synthetic oligonucleotides are used widely as essential components of molecular diagnostic assays, sequencing methods and for development of serological assays, as well as critical reagents in the research, development and manufacture of new vaccines and therapeutics.
The market for oligonucleotide supply in the UK, when you include use outside of infectious disease-related applications, is significant. UKHSA would like to understand the breadth and depth of oligonucleotide manufacturing capability in the UK and globally. This includes what oligonucleotides are already being manufactured, and to what design, what dependencies or bottlenecks exist, how these are being applied to make a product, and the existing and potential scale of manufacturing capacity. Although UKHSA is interested in understanding international manufacturing capability, UKHSA is specifically interested in improving onshore manufacturing capability for oligonucleotides and would encourage respondents to
