Commercial Research (Pre-Contract) Team

About the team: 

The Commercial Research (Pre-Contract) Team supports academic colleagues wishing to secure industry-funded research and access commercial tendering opportunities. 

We help academics negotiate 'the commercial deal' with industry funders before this is captured in a legal agreement.

We also support researchers wishing to engage with commercial tendering opportunities, from institutional registration on platforms to successful bid submissions. 

Contact us:

Academic colleagues are advised to contact us as soon as they have a partner and a rough idea of the research they want to do. Please see our SharePoint site for contact details.
