The funding has been awarded to launch a social enterprise - the ExCiteS Social Enterprise (or ESE), via the Accelerated Upgrade and Market Entry project (AcUMEn). This tender is for one of several work packages to help launch the social enterprise.

A paper detailing the origins of Sapelli is included in the materials below, alongside high-level technical specification for Sapelli Designer itself. This is a fixed-cost contract of £30,000, incorporating detailed technical design, development and user assurance work.
