This project aims to enhance the commercial potential of the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT), located in Plymouth, England, with a deadline for engagement set for 9th April 2022. The contract falls under the category of research consultancy services, identified by the CPV code 73210000. Interested participants can find further project details from the market engagement notice published on 15th March 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy, strategy development, or commercialisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, given their agility and innovative approaches. By successfully bidding for this project, a business could contribute to unlocking the CIMT's value while potentially establishing a long-term partnership with an esteemed educational institution. ## Notice The Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) within the Plymouth Institute of Education is currently a not-for-profit research and development centre dedicated to helping and supporting teachers to enhance the mathematical progress of their learners. The centre works across all sectors of education, nationally and internationally, developing help, advice and resources by taking a research evidence-based approach to innovating classroom practice in mathematics. CIMT has an extensive website of mathematical resources for teachers and learners that is widely used around the world. All resources on the website have always been freely available since the site's inception in 1995. The goal of this project is to work with an external expert/s to develop a viable plan that will unlock the value and commercial potential of the CIMT and in so doing ensure its long-term sustainability. Whilst we are clear on the drivers for this work, we are open minded as to how the commercialization of CIMT is achieved, and would be willing to consider a range options from, for example, exploiting specific areas of Intellectual Property to develop new products or services, to the spinning-out of a new legal entity and seeking external investment through which to scale. Following this project the CIMT Steering Group should be well positioned to commercialise the CIMT offer with a clear understanding of the product, market, competitors and opportunities with the knowledge needed to identify and approach investors in order to secure their investment into CIMT and its products for the future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1db983e9-7c66-4968-822e-22a730499088 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Mar 2022 at 10:20 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1db983e9-7c66-4968-822e-22a730499088 - 15 Mar 2022 at 09:44 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1db983e9-7c66-4968-822e-22a730499088 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1db983e9-7c66-4968-822e-22a730499088 17th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/462f2b44-d852-40c4-b8eb-610d4642d517 Specification attached to show the Project plan and requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6223205f-a88a-46a1-9404-52a7fbeebc88 Please see attached for project details and specification ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
