Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited for the "UKRI Innovate UK Services for the Scope & Design of FLIP Programme." This initiative falls under the training programme services industry category and is located in the South West of England. The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 8th January 2020. The total budget for the initial scoping and design phase is set at £125,000, excluding VAT, and the contract period will run until 31st March 2020. All submissions were required to be submitted via the Delta eSourcing portal by the deadline of 12th November 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in training and professional development programmes. Firms that specialise in designing training initiatives for government officials and create innovative learning experiences tailored to address the needs of policymakers across emerging economies would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Additionally, successful suppliers may have the prospect of engaging in a subsequent procurement for the delivery of the FLIP programme, which has a total anticipated budget of approximately £1.6 million, thus offering substantial growth potential.

Managed by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Newton Fund is part of the UK government's Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Fund has been established to develop long term sustainable growth through strengthening science and innovation partnerships between the UK and 17 emerging economies. By working together on joint programmes with a research and innovation focus, the UK will deliver development objectives and at the same time build strong, sustainable, systemic relationships with partner countries that also bring benefits back to the UK. Innovate UK is working with partner countries to strengthen their innovation ecosystems.

This procurement is to identify a Supplier who can scope and design a professional development programme for innovation policymakers (government officials, possibly including those at State level and those from Government Agencies) across the 7 Newton Fund countries of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. We are calling this the Future Leaders in Innovation Policy programme (FLIP). A scoping and design report is required so that the content and format of the FLIP programme can be tailored to meet the professional development needs expressed by innovation officials at the target grades, with input from their leadership in each country; and to ensure that there is adequate engagement of programme participants before the programme starts, for its smooth execution and delivery. Following submission of the report to Innovate UK, a decision on whether to proceed with the programme will be made. The delivery of the programme does not form part of this procurement. The contract for the scope and delivery phase is anticipated to run for 4-months to the end of March 2020. The budgeted spend for this phase is up to PS125,000 excluding VAT.
