This procurement falls within the IT services industry category, specifically concerning software and information systems. The project is set to take place in the North East of England, with the tender period closing on 6th December 2017. Successful candidates will engage in collaborative projects with undergraduate interaction designers from early March to the end of September 2018, when the contract ends. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for Digital Design Agencies and consultants seeking to expand their portfolio and client base. Businesses specialising in design consultancy, software development, and interactive media solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. The partnership with the university, which involves mentoring and working alongside students, not only facilitates growth for the agency but also contributes to the local economy by fostering innovation and new business ventures. ## Notice As part of Creative Fuse, Northumbria University is looking to partner with a Digital Design Agency or Consultant to create prototype digital products and pieces of communication for a variety of clients in the region. The clients and their project requirements are to be determined but they may include the creation of design specifications, demo websites, apps, animations, etc. with a view to potential full-production. The aim is to stimulate growth and generate new business for both the clients and partner agency. The University's contribution to the project will involve sixteen undergraduate interaction designers working in smaller teams on these projects. They will be supported by two lecturers with specialisms in interaction and digital design. We anticipate that the partner agency or consultant will work closely with the University's staff and students at discovery, definition, development and delivery phases of each project. Mentoring the student teams and sharing expertise will be an important part of partner agency's contribution. We anticipate four projects being started (a minimum of 2 and up to a maximum of 8 could be undertaken through negotiation). To support this, the partner agency or consultant will be working with 4 teams of 4 students. Each student is normally expected to contribute approximately 150 hrs, or 4 weeks, to the projects. The period for student involvement can be from early March until early May. The University is currently looking for suitable client partners though we would be happy to consider agency suggestions for clients too. We would prefer these suggestions to be new rather than established client partners for the agency. The Creative Fuse website provides more information about the interactive media design student projects. Northumbria University's website provides examples of previous student projects with industry. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd413940-a0e8-464b-a36a-97a5a32b0b6b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2017 - 30 Sep 2018 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF NORTHUMBRIA | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE2 1XE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48200000 - Networking, Internet and intranet software package - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79415200 - Design consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2017 at 15:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd413940-a0e8-464b-a36a-97a5a32b0b6b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd413940-a0e8-464b-a36a-97a5a32b0b6b 22nd November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://northumbriaunitenders.org Expressions of interest will remain open for the duration of the ITT advert.
