This procurement is classified under business and management consultancy services and falls within the open procedure method, specifically designed for contracts below the threshold. The tender period will close on 30 November 2021, and the contract is set to begin on 10 January 2022, continuing until 30 June 2023. The award is valued at £10,000, with a minimum value of £8,500, and proposals must comply with European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) requirements for evaluation purposes. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in business support and innovation, especially those familiar with the ERDF framework and experienced in project evaluations. Businesses that provide strategic insights, economic development insights, or management consultancy services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, which not only promises financial reward but also aligns with efforts to boost entrepreneurship in the post-COVID-19 landscape. ## Notice GLIDE is a new initiative which aims to generate increased levels of entrepreneurship beyond pre-start by supporting individuals with the ambition to start up a business and linking them to the knowledge expertise, technology and research that resides within the University and through appropriate signposting to the wider business support landscape. By doing so, GLIDE seeks to encourage innovation in the wake of COVID-19 and ultimately invigorate economic development and productivity growth. GLIDE is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Programme to address their objectives in Priority Axis 3A. GLIDE is required to undergo external evaluation to provide insight into project performance and programme impact, identifying the successes and strengths as well as the failures and weaknesses, allowing for recommendations for future improvements. There will be two reports done which will be submitted to the Managing Authority. Suppliers must be familiar with & comply with ERDF requirements.
