No alternative supplier 64 Million Artists is the only supplier in the UK using creativity and innovation alongside peer support and co-creation to train senior academics in how they might approach interdisciplinary research more strategically and bring in larger grants to the University. Institutional Risk The research landscape and expectations placed on researchers are changing, reflected in a clear shift toward funding more large collaborative and challenge-oriented projects that reach across traditional boundaries. Increased demand from across the university sector for bespoke leadership training delivered by external specialists is a natural consequence. In the event that our case to award a contract without competition is unsuccessful, we risk of losing our relationship with the supplier should other institutions procure their services whilst we begin the procurement journey again. This risk should be avoided if at all possible Business continuity Academic interest in the Strategic Leadership in Research Programme 2018/19 was exceptionally high with over 70 researchers from across the University applying for just 24 places. A number of successful applicants had to defer their place until 2019/20 due to unforeseen personal circumstances. We see it as essential that enthusiastic and highly capable individuals have access to the same development opportunity as originally advertised, and that all future participants are able to benefit from continuous improvement resulting from delivering the Programme in 2018/19.
