Provision of Services for the Smart Specialisation Areas of the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship

The Wielkopolskie Voivodeship Self-Government is seeking to procure services aimed at supporting the region's smart specialisation areas. This initiative is central to the region's strategy for enhancing innovation and competitiveness, as outlined in the Regional Innovation Strategy for Wielkopolska 2030 (RIS 2030), adopted in December 2020. The strategy identifies six priority areas, known as smart specialisations (IS), which include: 1. Bio-resources and food for conscious consumers; 2. Interiors of the future; 3. Industry of tomorrow; 4. Specialised logistics processes; 5. ICT-based development; and 6. Modern medical technologies. The detailed scope of these specialisations is available in the RIS 2030 document. A key requirement for regional development in these areas, mandated by the European Union, is the process of entrepreneurial discovery (PPO). This process involves fostering interactions between business, science, and local government. The self-government's role is to create conditions for such collaboration through established bodies like the Wielkopolska Forum of Smart Specialisations and dedicated working groups. The contracting authority notes that the RIS 2030 may be updated during the contract period, potentially leading to modifications in the description, scope, or number of defined smart specialisations. However, these changes will not affect the required team size or the contractor's tasks. Detailed specifications for the services are provided in the tender documentation, including the Terms of Reference (SWZ), Draft Contract Provisions (PPU), and the Description of the Subject of the Order (OPZ) with its annexes.

This is a services contract in the Research, information and communication technology and trade and industry sectors. Located in Poland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of PLN 2.7 million.
