## Summary

The NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND BUSINESS AND INNOVATION CENTRE LIMITED has initiated a procurement process titled "Technical Support - App" under the category of technical analysis and consultancy services. This open procedure is currently active and aims to provide support to clients in developing technical specifications for app-based projects. The tender period is set to conclude on 13th November 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 20th November 2020 and continue until 31st March 2023. The services will be delivered to clients primarily in the North East region of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT consulting and software development. Companies with expertise in creating functional and technical specifications, as well as those that can provide client support in recruiting technical staff, will be well-positioned to compete. Given the demand for support in app development for non-technical founders, businesses with experience in cross-platform app services will find this opportunity particularly relevant for growth.

## Notice

We are seeking to establish a supplier who can support the provision of a 'technical due diligence' service to our clients. This need arises when software companies are being established or developed by non-technical founders. In many cases people can articulate their requirement in plain English but require this to be converted into a document which can be understood by technical sub-contractors. Delivery Requirements We are looking for individual/companies to provide the following capabilities: Provision of support to end user clients in the form of (but not limited to): * Expert to support in initial conversations with clients; * Development of functional and technical specifications; * Client support in finding and recruiting sub-contractor and/or technical staff. * Many of our clients are App based, therefore the provider would be have knowledge of working across various platforms (ie. iPhone, Android and Windows); * This is an in-depth piece of work, therefore we anticipate that each client will receive a minimum of 12 hours of support.
