[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](/opportunities/for-small-businesses)## About this tender Objectives: - Finding Tool: To enable the identification of new expert reviewers who might initially be unknown to UKRI to assess a relevant grant application, through external means i.e. the tool must be able to identify relevant key criteria (e.g. key words) within an application's text, and then search external data services for relevant reviewers depending on the identified criteria. It would be advantageous if the tool will be able to return suggested reviewers which cover the breadth of UKRI's applications i.e. individuals in industry as well as academia, as well as STEM and non-STEM reviewers. - Matching Tool: The tool must be able to identify relevant key criteria (e.g. key words) within an application's text and then search within a predefined list of reviewers to find the individuals with the most suitable expertise for reviewing that application. The tool must be able to do this for one application, and for a large group of applications simultaneously. In addition, it would be an advantage if the tool could also carry out text analytics/matching to identify resubmissions, plagiarism, sub-optimal application quality, scope of application vs scope of funding opportunity and sub-optimal review quality.
