## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which is commissioning the development of a digital app aimed at enhancing citizen engagement in China, under the UK-China Fund for International Collaboration Healthy Ageing Project. This project falls within the IT services industry category and is based in England, although the contract delivery will occur in the People's Republic of China. The tender is under the open procedure, and the contract is valued at £325,000, with the contract period running from 7 January 2022 to 31 October 2023. Key dates include the award date of 23 December 2021 and the initial tender deadline on 17 September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy, software development, and mobile applications, particularly those with a strong understanding of the Chinese digital landscape. Companies equipped to provide ongoing management and support for tech solutions in the Chinese market would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, facilitating growth and collaboration in international projects aimed at healthy ageing initiatives.

## Notice

The purpose of this tender is to commission the development and ongoing management of a solution to support citizen engagement activities within China as part of the UK-China Healthy Ageing Innovation Stream project. We expect this will be best facilitated through WeChat and an integrated Mini Program and we are looking for a provider that can develop, deploy and handle the ongoing administration and management of this solution on our behalf in China. This contract will be wholly delivered in the Peoples Republic of China.
