Descriptions
**Please note the closing date for this tender is the 15/03/2017. Please do not submit bids directly to the Buyer** Innovate UK is organising an outward 'scoping' mission to Canada, in partnership with the Canadian High Commission, to better understand the Canadian agri-food sector and key challenges being faced. This will help to inform about key challenges facing the sector, and where there may be opportunities to collaborate for mutual benefit. Importantly, this mission will initiate engagement with key Canadian stakeholders across policy / funding; the research-base and industry to raise awareness of UK interest in future collaboration opportunities across the agri-food sector when common priorities can be identified. The activities described above are the next steps that would enable this process to be developed further, and key priorities to be mutually identified to establish where common challenges exist that may benefit from collaborations between the UK and Canada through new science and technology partnerships. The aim of the tender exercise is to identify a service provider with the necessary skills and expertise to achieve the successful delivery of missions and strategic research agendas / roadmaps (including both virtual and physical 'workshop' activities). This will involve strong facilitation skills that can help to build and establish connections between key UK and international stakeholders across policy / Government, industry and the research-base. The contract will need to support key outputs; including reports from workshop activities and the publication of a UK / Canada roadmap with recommendations about short- medium- and long-term challenges facing the sector, and where bi-lateral collaborations will meet the challenges for mutual benefit.
