This procurement falls under the services category, specifically letting services of own property, with an open procedure procurement method. The tender period ends on 4th August 2017, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 2nd October 2017 and conclude on 1st October 2018. The project location is in Leeds, Yorkshire and the Humber, with an anticipated minimum target of 70% occupancy upon the centre's opening in September 2018. This tender opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, especially those specialising in marketing, lead generation, and tenancy management services aimed at technology-led companies. Firms that have experience working with start-ups, small growing businesses, and corporate research and development teams would be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in promoting the Nexus facility, generating qualified leads, and negotiating tenancy agreements that will lead to a vibrant innovation community, ultimately facilitating business growth in the region. ## Notice Nexus Nexus is a brand new ?40m innovation centre designed to enhance the University's collaboration with business and drive value creation including growth in collaborative research and innovation (R&I) income for the University. The 10,000m2 facility provides the space and the proactive and tailored professional support to smooth access to our world-class research and innovation, our talented students and graduates, and our portfolio of professional and executive development. Opening in September 2018, Nexus will provide high quality office and laboratory accommodation targeted towards technology-led companies that can benefit from more effective collaboration. This will enable growing technology businesses and project teams to co-locate on campus. Alongside workspace there will be extensive space and a year-round programme of events to drive connections, communication and collaboration with researchers and the rest of the Nexus community. Expert mentors, and a range of financial, technical and management service providers and investors will provide companies with the wider expertise and resources they need and contribute to making Nexus a vibrant innovation community. The community will comprise: o Start-up and early stage businesses o Small growing businesses o Corporate R&D and new product development teams o University and partner researchers o University professional services o Investors and funders of research and innovation o IP lawyers, tax accountants, recruiters, market researchers o Business support agencies and networks o Professional bodies o Student and graduate talent Pre-letting - The Requirement The University is looking to begin a period of pre-letting from September 2017 to get as close as possible to full occupancy of 85% on opening in September 2018, with 70% occupancy a minimum target. Taking account of existing tenants moving across from the Leeds Innovation Centre, this minimum equates to approximately 40 new tenants. It is this period of pre-letting for which you are invited to submit a tender. The work to be performed is the promotion of Nexus in the target market and generation of enough qualified leads for the University/Nexus to be able to interview and negotiate the number of tenancy agreements it is targeting by September 2018. Lead qualification will be based on agreed application of the Nexus entry criteria the University/Nexus will use when interviewing companies.
