Tender Details
Tender Description
The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to invite interested parties to submit a proposal for the provision of a multi-year Accelerator programme. We welcome either individual or joint proposals, with the caveat that ChristchurchNZ are only able to contract with one party.
This programme will run between November 2022 and June 2025. The programme will be reviewed every June to ensure financial and in-kind support is sufficient to continue the following year(s) – and that the partners and vendor wish to continue realising the changing nature of institutional priorities.
We require eight themed (Aerospace, FFA etc) intakes of Accelerator “cohorts” over three years, with two in the first year and three per year in the last two years. Each intake creates a cohort that runs for approximately 6 months and ends in a finale similar to a previous ChristchurchNZ Challenge finale.
See the timeline (in the RFP) for the indicative themes for each cohort. Some are locked in (Agritech in 23 and 25), others CNZ, CCC, and the Vendor can work together to develop and agree.
