The Connected Places Catapult is seeking a delivery partner for the Milton Keynes Accelerator programme, aimed at supporting SMEs in commercial and product development, particularly in resilience and green recovery. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 22nd December 2021.
