Description

The University is contracted to deliver the SPEED Project which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund 2014-2020 under Priority Axis 3: Enhancing Competitiveness of Small and Medium sized Enterprises and Investment Priority 3a - Promoting Entrepreneurship.

The project wishes to appoint up top 20 Providers each to two separate lots of activity: Lot 1 - Business Development Workshops, Lot 2 - Business Development Consultancy. Potential Providers can apply for either or both lots. This tender for consultancy and workshop delivery is designed to create a framework of suppliers. Being accepted on the framework does not guarantee work under the framework and the allocation of sessions will be based upon the ability to deliver the specialisms required either by the project team or the beneficiary at their discretion.

Following a change in legislation from April 2017, all Providers will be subject to assessment against IR35. The final decision and responsibility for this rests with the University.
