The University of Sheffield is actively seeking qualified providers for Knowledge Transfer Partnership services under a Framework Agreement, with a focus on the research and development consultancy services sector. This tender, identified as 2789/LM, is currently in the Tender stage and is open for submissions, with a closing date set for 8th February 2021, at 12 noon (UK time).
