## Summary

The University of the West of England is seeking a delivery and communications partner for their 'Call for Delivery and Communications Partner' project. The project aims to support 150 tech/digital businesses in the West of England region, funded by the West of England Combined Authority. The procurement method is a Competitive quotation (below threshold) with a tender deadline of 30th October 2022. The contract period will start on 4th November 2022 and end on 31st March 2025. The project falls under the services category and is based in BRISTOL, England.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage with the University of the West of England's initiative. Businesses in the project management consultancy services industry, particularly those focusing on supporting tech and digital start-ups, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The project's emphasis on inclusivity and diversity in tech entrepreneurship further widens the scope for businesses looking to contribute to the programme's objectives.

## Notice

Start School is a new and exciting pilot programme for the West of England region and will be delivered by a consortium of four universities: The University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE Bristol), The University of Bristol, The University of Bath, and Bath Spa University. The programme, funded by the West of England Combined Authority, will provide a package of support and development for 150 pre-start and early formation tech/digital businesses across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset. We will support founders at the very earliest stages of their journey to give them a better chance of success, and through inclusive and equitable recruitment processes and programme design, we will seek to address the underrepresentation of tech founders who are women, disabled, and/or from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds. UWE Bristol is leading the programme consortium of universities, and we are seeking a delivery and communications partner to work with us for the duration of the project.
