Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND BUSINESS AND INNOVATION CENTRE LIMITED has initiated a procurement process titled "Technical Support - App" under the category of technical analysis and consultancy services. This open procedure is currently active and aims to provide support to clients in developing technical specifications for app-based projects. The tender period is set to conclude on 13th November 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 20th November 2020 and continue until 31st March 2023. The services will be delivered to clients primarily in the North East region of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT consulting and software development. Companies with expertise in creating functional and technical specifications, as well as those that can provide client support in recruiting technical staff, will be well-positioned to compete. Given the demand for support in app development for non-technical founders, businesses with experience in cross-platform app services will find this opportunity particularly relevant for growth.
