Notice Information

Notice Title

Call for Delivery and Communications Partner

Notice Description

Start School is a new and exciting pilot programme for the West of England region and will be delivered by a consortium of four universities: The University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE Bristol), The University of Bristol, The University of Bath, and Bath Spa University. The programme, funded by the West of England Combined Authority, will provide a package of support and development for 150 pre-start and early formation tech/digital businesses across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset. We will support founders at the very earliest stages of their journey to give them a better chance of success, and through inclusive and equitable recruitment processes and programme design, we will seek to address the underrepresentation of tech founders who are women, disabled, and/or from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds. UWE Bristol is leading the programme consortium of universities, and we are seeking a delivery and communications partner to work with us for the duration of the project.
