## Summary

The contracting process involves Newcastle University as the buyer, seeking proposals for the "Accelerator Programme" under the UK-China Fund for International Collaboration Healthy Ageing Project. This public procurement falls under the industry category of business services, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The contract, valued at £365,000, is aimed at supporting businesses in accessing Chinese markets for innovative products addressing healthy ageing. The procurement is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 18 October 2021, and the contract duration is two years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in accelerator support and knowledge of international innovation and commercialisation. Companies focused on sectors such as functional mobility, urban environment adaptation, and those interested in participating in collaborations with organisations like the Department for International Trade and Innovate UK would be well-suited to compete. The programme is designed to foster a community of new businesses, enabling them to develop products and services relevant to an ageing population, which can lead to substantial growth and market expansion.

## Notice
