## Summary

The procurement process is led by Newcastle University, seeking to engage in the commercialisation of university research through the provision of financial consultancy services, specifically under the title "NU/1246-13: TREAT NMD." The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, which concluded on 20th August 2018, with contract performance starting from 1st October 2018 and running until 31st March 2019. The contract has a value of £25,000 and primarily targets the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the financial consultancy sector to engage with a reputable academic institution and foster innovation within the field of rare inherited neuromuscular diseases. Companies that specialise in management consultancy or those with experience in supporting spin-out ventures from academic research would be particularly well-suited to compete. By collaborating with Newcastle University, successful bidders may enhance their profile in public-sector projects, thereby driving growth and securing future contracts.

## Notice

TREAT-NMD was initially established as an FP6 EU funded Network of Excellence (2007 to 2012) coordinated by Prof Volker Straub, Newcastle University and was tasked with reshaping the research environment for rare inherited neuromuscular diseases. During the initial funding period TREAT-NMD Network of Excellence developed several tools and services to advance diagnosis, care and treatment for those living with neuromuscular diseases (http://www.treat-nmd.eu/). For the last 6 years, following the end of the FP6 EU grant, TREAT-NMD has been sustained as the TREAT-NMD Alliance, offering services through Newcastle University, funded by numerous income streams which include European grants, industry contracts and patient organisation support. To take advantage of the increasing number of new funding opportunities and to build on the success of the established services it is proposed that we establish the 'TREAT-NMD Enterprise'.
