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.
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.
If you represent an organisation wanting to work with the University but are not yet matched with a University contact, please see this page for relevant information.
