## Notice

The Exeter Centre for the Circular Economy (ECCE) is part of the faculty of Environment, Science and Economy (ESE) at the University of Exeter. The University was chosen to lead the CE-Hub, the coordinating hub for the National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Research (NICER) programme in 2021; a PS30 million UKRI-funded programme working to provide the evidence base needed to deliver a resilient and restorative circular economy for the UK. The Hub works with the five UKRI National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Research Centres on the programme, and brings together academics, industry practitioners, policy makers and civic society to deliver CE research and innovation. The funding for this project is coming to an end in December 2024 and we would like the winning bidder to provide the specialist support necessary to transition the activities and outputs of the CE Hub into the Exeter Centre for Circular Economy based at the University of Exeter Business School. This includes, but is not limited to the website, tools, methodologies, case studies, external stakeholder relationships and the knowledge hub. We would also seek to engage the supplier on future CE related activities developed and delivered under the Exeter Centre for Circular Economy including, but not limited to contribution to the development of our Executive Education portfolio.
