## Summary

The Newcastle University is conducting a procurement process titled "(NU/1496-5) National Innovation Centre for Data, Policy support," which falls under the industry category of business services, particularly focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. This selective procurement process reached the contract award stage on 13th July 2022, with an active contract period starting on 18th July 2022 and ending on 3rd July 2023. This opportunity is aimed specifically at organisations in the North East region of the United Kingdom, leveraging regional data skills to foster innovation and productivity, as well as responding to various policy initiatives and government funding calls.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations looking to enhance their engagement in policy-making support and data-driven initiatives, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Businesses that specialise in data skills development, consulting, and related services would be well-placed to compete for this contract, contributing to Newcastle University's mission to elevate local organisations and replicate its success in other underserved areas. The collaboration fosters a pathway for commercial growth, enhancing the potential for businesses aiming to innovate and increase profitability in the evolving marketplace.

## Notice

The University frequently responds to requests for contributions to policy making and related initiatives and to funding calls from the UK Government including Industrial Strategy Challenge Funds; Regional and Local Growth Funds; and devolved funds to the Region or North of Tyne. As part of the application process, certain assessments are required to be undertaken, with plans and analyses produced. This further competition outlines the need as we respond to information requests and opportunities created through various policy initiatives that relate to NICD's aims and objectives. NICD's unique approach provides an established and demonstrably successful pathway for transforming data skills across the UK, by catalysing collaboration between experts in academia and industry, transferring and embedding the requisite data skills to nurture innovation, and by identifying avenues for commercial growth to increase productivity. Our ambition is to increase the benefit of NICD's support to North-East regional organisations and replicate this success to other left-behind regions so that more organisations can exploit their data to improve productivity, become more profitable, and grow.
