Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *****

This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS.

Brief Description of Requirement

Funded by DSIT, from the UK's Official Development Assistance (ODA), the Newton Fund has a total UK budget of £735 million over a seven-year programme cycle (April 2014 to March 2021). No new programme activities have been funded since 2021 and all Research and Innovation (R&I) activities under the Newton Fund will be delivered by 2025/26.
The Fund aims to strengthen research and innovation capacity to deliver socio-economic development impact by building sustainable relationships between the UK and Partner Countries. By placing emphasis on partnerships as a model of co-funded bilateral technical assistance, the Fund enables UK researchers to collaborate with researchers from Partner Countries to work on the most pressing development challenges.
The primary objective of the Newton Fund is to support the economic development and social welfare of either the partner countries or, through working with the partner country, to address development challenges around the world. It seeks to do so through developing equitable partnerships with middle-income countries, advancing multidisciplinary research based on agreed national strategies and nurturing talent and careers with capacity development. An expected secondary benefit is to secure benefits to the UK, which is to be achieved by presenting further research opportunities for the UK science base, improving the skills and activity of UK innovators and researchers, and unlocking opportunities for trade.
