The funds provided capital grants to support life sciences manufacturing projects in the UK, with objectives including strengthening domestic manufacturing capability, supporting economic growth and enhancing health resilience.
The evaluation was commissioned by the Office for Life Sciences and delivered by Ipsos, covering Medicines and Diagnostics Manufacturing Transformation Fund (

The findings are intended to inform the ongoing design and delivery of LSIMF2025-30 and to support future decisions on life sciences manufacturing policy.
