In plain English

The University of Aberdeen wants an experienced consultant to lead and coordinate a feasibility programme for the King's Innovation Hub / Quarter initiative, involving several institutions. The consultant would develop a model for the Asset Bank, its operating and partnership arrangements, and a plan for implementation and long-term sustainability. Economic, market and legal assessments are commissioned separately and are not part of this contract.

What the buyer wants

• Lead and coordinate the multi-institutional feasibility programme and bring together evidence and outputs from participating institutions and the separately commissioned specialists. • Develop the Asset Bank methodology, operating and partnership model, and implementation and sustainability plan. • Support completion of the funded feasibility deliverables by 31 March 2027, and provide any related development or implementation support specified in the contract without changing that completion date.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for an experienced consultant to lead a multi-institutional programme against a fixed deadline of 31 March 2027, which would most likely rule out a small business without senior programme leadership experience across several institutions, and the notice gives no estimated value and sets out no other specific requirements.

Always check the tender documents.
