CR18200 Innovation for inclusive growth - Impact of innovation on local growth and identification of the most significant regional drivers for innovation

Notice Description

The Maximum value of this opportunity is PS110,000.00 excluding VAT The initial contract value will be PS10,000.00 excluding VAT. If the option is taken to extend the contract the overall maximum value of this opportunity shall be PS110,000.00 excluding VAT. Phase 1 Start: 28/02/2019 Phase 1 End: 01/04/2019 Review of Phase 1 report and decision to proceed with Phase 2: 15/04/2019 Phase 2 start: 16/04/2019 Phase 2 End: 16/08/2019 This research aims to identify important drivers of local innovation activity, both public and private, and estimate the contribution of local innovation activities on local economic growth. The focus of this project is on the modes of innovation that are science based and rest on R&D. Identifying the drivers is important for BEIS and other government departments because with this evidence policy could have a sharper focus on further strengthening the drivers that have positive impact on local innovation outcomes.
