Mentor and Business Support Services Framework Agreement

The University of Bath and SETsquared are establishing a Framework Agreement to source mentoring and business support services. This framework will provide access to experienced suppliers capable of delivering specialist mentoring and advisory services to researchers, academics, entrepreneurs, founders, and businesses. The framework is organized into seven sector-specific lots: Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Creative Industries, Digital and Technologies, Defence, Life Sciences, and General. Suppliers will support organizations across key business areas including customer and market discovery, branding and marketing, sales and growth, pitch communication, financial planning and governance, equity investment, founder leadership, scaling operations, and legal and intellectual property matters. The University plans to appoint multiple suppliers to each lot, with requirements called off during the framework term according to specified procedures. Interested suppliers should review the tender documents in the tenderbox for detailed requirements and application instructions.
