Description

We are seeking support to develop our high-level strategic corporate/public affairs activity over a 10-month period, from March 2021 to December 2021 in the first instance. The core objective of this activity is to position Newcastle University as the government's go-to university in the North of England for research and evidenced-based policy expertise.

Policy engagement is a key priority for Newcastle University; raising its profile amongst parliamentarians, policy-makers, think-tanks and opinion formers in order to position both the institution and our academics as leaders in research which can influence and impact government policy development in areas of critical importance for the UK. This work will promote and enhance the University's reputation as a critical contributor to the post-Covid economic, social and cultural success of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East region, at national as well as local level.

This public affairs activity will also track policy and legislative announcements to help position Newcastle University at the heart of the debate, and make recommendations as to how to keep MPs and Peers informed about the work of the University.
This opportunity will be advertised to Lot 3 suppliers of the Dynamic Purchasing System (NU1589).
