What is being bought

Published requirement description

Scottish Enterprise (SE) is looking to appoint a single supplier to deliver activity under the Rail Cluster Builder (CB) - Phase Two project. Phase Two will provide an opportunity to build on the successes of the existing Rail CB. It is anticipated that the CB will see an increase in connections being made within the supply chain and deeper engagement with companies to fill information gaps. The activities delivered through the CB will support companies in overcoming information and access barriers, provide personalised signposting and enable collaboration between businesses looking to explore project opportunities. It is envisaged that the contract will commence on the 4th of July 2022 for a period of 3-years.
