The Eco-Innovation Cheshire and Warrington project is led by the University of Chester who have partnered up with Lancaster University to work with local SMEs in the innovation and adoption of Low Carbon Technologies. This project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (Project Ref: 03R17P01835). The start date is anticipated to be in June 2018. The maximum budget allowed for this contract is £50,000 (inclusive of VAT, all materials, consumables, expenses and travel). Tenderers are therefore advised that the actual contract value will be subject to the number of contracted hours awarded. As requirements are subject to the needs from individual SMEs, demand and volumes may vary over the contract term. No guarantee can therefore be given regarding the volume of business placed with any appointed individual consultant(s). Dates (including the actual contract start) and values provided are estimated and are therefore subject to change.
