Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday 23rd June 2021 at 11:00.
DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.
All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.

STFC supports business incubation through a co-ordinated programme of initiatives covering a broad variety of science and technology sectors. Our unique spectrum of incubation facilities at the Higgs Centre for Innovation, are set within the wider UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UKATC), partnering STFC with the University of Edinburgh.
We aim to develop our business support offering at STFC's Higgs Centre for Innovation, located in the UKATC, where businesses co-locate with STFC in a supportive environment for start-up companies to develop new products and gain investment, and create jobs.
The ESA BIC UK, STFC Higgs BIC & STFC CERN BIC are funded business incubation programmes supporting early stage technology businesses who are less than 5 years old. An integral part of the programme is the business support offering to ensure that the incubatees have the best chance of success and survival beyond their time on the relevant programme.
Business support will be provided primarily by a third-party organisation that is contracted to support the incubatee businesses to develop and implement a viable business plan, to obtain key skills and knowledge to succeed in business and secure funding as needed.
The objective for the winning bidder is to design, deliver, monitor and report on a package of business support to offer and/or signpost to advice.
