UKRI-1406 Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) Network Development 2

Tender description

This PIN is being issued in order to undertake a market consultation exercise with regards to the requirements detailed in Section 2. UKRI would like to invite suppliers to attend an engagement session in order to assess the market's appetite for procuring the proposed FLF Development Network 2, to provide information regarding the tender, the expected outcomes from the network, and to enable suppliers an opportunity to ask questions regarding the FLF Development Network 2 and these expected outcomes. We request that attendance is restricted to key members of your organisation. For clarity, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not registering an interest shall not prevent any supplier participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the preliminary market consultation shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Lot 1: The supplier day information presented in this PIN is for an upcoming UKRI Tender to develop a FLF Development Network 2. UKRI is looking to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented by the cohorts of FLF (Rounds 4,5,6) and potentially further fellows supported by UKRI through the associated activities of this Network. It is envisioned that the activities developed by the supplier will be accessible to all aforementioned participants, and that where capacity is available, wider participation by other Early Career Researchers and Innovators supported by UKRI is envisaged. This proposed network should: * Create a strong cohort experience; * Develop the leadership skills of the fellows; * Enable the fellows to play a leadership role across the research and innovation community; * Create deep links with UKRI and its investments. Estimated total value: £5.82+ Core requirement for up to £3.5 million for Rounds 4, 5 & 6. Option for up to £2.32 million for further activity. Additional information: A supplier workshop will be held via webinar on 07/06/21 where suppliers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the requirement.
