## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking proposals for the "Prosperity Fund. UK-Poland Tech Hub Business Case Building" project, which falls under the research and development services industry category. This tender is currently in the active phase, with a deadline for submission set for 30 July 2019. The project aims to establish a tech hub in Warsaw, fostering innovation partnerships between the UK and Poland and is expected to be completed within four months starting from the award date on 15 August 2019. Businesses are invited to engage in this open procurement process to contribute to this significant initiative.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in consulting services, particularly within the technology and innovation sectors. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in conducting research, facilitating discussions, and forming strategic partnerships in tech ecosystems would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the emphasis on fostering growth and collaboration between the UK and Polish markets.

## Notice

A new techhub is an essential part of a UK-Polish tech partnership announced by both Prime Ministers as a headline deliverable at the UK-Polish Intergovernmental Consultations (IGC) on 20 December 2018. The tech hub is intended to be a sustained platform (run by a small team in Warsaw with links to the UK) dedicated to forming innovation partnerships between start-ups, scouting for entrepreneurial talent, forging links between UK and Polish corporates and boosting trade and investment. Outputs: 1. The project will require organisation of no less than 6 roundtables focusing on different tech sectors in Poland. 2. Desk research and interviews with relevant and selected players in the Polish tech ecosystem (including PFR, PARP, Start-Up Poland, business incubators, big corporate accelerators, regional start-up incubators). 3. Research and interviews with members of the UK-Israeli Tech Hub, and with selected representatives from the UK tech ecosystem (identified with help from the British Embassy and UK Government). 4. Deliver a detailed and comprehensive report and business case including the timeline of the report drafting process and sharing outline and interim drafts of the report. The project is estimated to last 4 months from the award of the contract.
