CUTS stands for Cambridge University Technical Services Limited. CUTS is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cambridge Enterprise Limited and deals solely with consultancy contracts. It has no employees, and is administered by the staff of Cambridge Enterprise. University employees can work as consultants through CUTS. This has a number of benefits, including that by using CUTS the academic consultant may benefit from the University's professional indemnity and liability insurance policies. Prior to the incorporation of Cambridge Enterprise, CUTS was a trading company wholly owned by the University of Cambridge, acting as a vehicle for the University's commercial activities related to intellectual property.For further information on consultancy and the range of services provided please see the Consultancy Services section.
