Transform Sciansa from a funded research initiative into a commercially sustainable product offering (2025-WOR110)
Tender ID: 597943
Tender Details
Tender Description
This Tender is invited by the Issuer.
Requirements
The project’s objective is to transform Sciansa from a funded research initiative into a commercially sustainable product offering that can scale beyond its initial life sciences and genomics focus. Built to “commoditise AI for all scientists,” the platform integrates agentic AI into scientific workflows, enabling hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis, and collaboration at unprecedented speed.
Having secured initial funding and internal commitment until June 30, 2027, the next phase is to establish a viable business model to ensure longevity post this funding envelope. This includes developing a comprehensive go-to-market (GTM) strategy, pricing scenarios, and financial models to test sustainability under various adoption and cost structures. This RFP seeks to source support for doing this work from a consultancy partner. The work should produce an initial commercialisation hypothesis and define work packages for testing over the next 12 months. It should leverage feedback from the Sciansa Early Adopter Program, currently involving external researchers, to assess product-market fit, refine the value proposition, and quantify operational costs.
The ultimate goal of the project is to prepare the platform for spin-out, enabling it to attract external investment and become a widely adopted, scalable tool that accelerates scientific discovery while maintaining high standards of data security, usability, and AI governance.
