Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
The University’s requirements since publishing in November 2022 have substantially changed focus, moving the support required in relation to public affairs away from supporting the University’s agenda to a developing strategic theme of research, knowledge exchange and civic partnership. As a result, the University has deemed a new technical specification will be required to better reflect the University’s requirements. We two recent key appointments in the research arena at NTU and a further appointment in relation to our MTIF (Medical Technologies Innovation Facility), the University shall be looking to re-tender for this new requirement in October 2023.
