Consultancy Services for Innovation Grant Assessment Process Enhancement

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is a closed, competitive tender process. We have invited three All-of-Government Consultancy Services Providers to respond to this tender. This procurement focuses on adding value to the assessment process of the contestable Arohia Trailblazer Grant.

Applicants for this grant will have submitted their determination on the potential ecosystem benefits and novelty of their innovation which will have been scored by an internal Screening Committee.

Given the criticality of the innovation ecosystem benefit to the success of the grant, and given that assessing innovation ecosystem benefit is relatively new to Callaghan Innovation, we want to partner with a third party to ensure the grant evaluation panel is equipped to make the best decisions.
