Notice Title
Funding Proposal Support and Review Services Framework (LSHW.008.2026)
Notice Description
Life Sciences Hub Wales seeks to procure and implement a Framework Agreement for the provision of Funding Proposal Support and Review Services. The intention is to procure a multi-supplier framework to provide ad-hoc bid writing and funding review and support services to Life Sciences Hub Wales as and when may be required. The successful suppliers will act as an extension to the internal Life Sciences Hub Wales Funding Support team, providing additional support, capacity, resilience and expertise when required. It is likely that support via the framework will only be required during periods where internal Life Sciences Hub Wales resource / capacity is limited, such as during peak delivery or as a result of absence (as an example). The framework suppliers will be considered as additional resource to be called upon to alleviate pressure and enable continued delivery during these periods. The following link provides a summary outline of the Life Sciences Hub Wales funding proposal service (includes additional resources): https://lshubwales.com/support/funding-support. The scope of support potentially required by Life Sciences Hub Wales via the framework includes the full breadth of services aligned to the funding proposal service. The full specification of requirements is provided in Part 13 of the Invitation to Tender document. The intention is to award a position on the framework to up to three suppliers.
