## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University seeking to establish an Accelerator Programme as part of the UK-China Fund for International Collaboration, specifically focused on the Healthy Ageing Project. This open tender, designated as (NU/1719) Accelerator Programme, is aimed at businesses operating within the services sector, particularly those involved in functional mobility and urban environment adaptation for older individuals. The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 18th October 2021, and the resulting contract will commence on 1st December 2021, lasting until 30th November 2023. The total budget allocated for this programme is £365,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their offerings in areas related to healthy ageing and community-focused services. Companies specialising in consultancy, recruitment, marketing, and similar fields would find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. The emphasis on creating strong links between the newly recruited businesses and established organisations like Innovate UK suggests that collaborating firms may benefit from enhanced visibility and access to international markets, especially within the context of the UK-China programme.

## Notice

The successful bidder will be expected to identify and recruit businesses to the accelerator, liaising with organisations such as the Department for International Trade, Innovate UK and NICA. The outcome will be a community of new businesses with strong links to NICA and the UK-China programme delivering new services and products relevant to ageing. Whilst the primary focus will be on companies operating in two key domain areas, namely functional mobility & gait, and the adaptation of urban environments to support the improved mobility of older people, other potential offerings of relevance to the wider sector will be considered where appropriate.
