The Innovation Boost programme is the flagship project within InterTradeIreland’s Innovation portfolio. The programme seeks to embed innovation capability within businesses through collaboration with knowledge centres and the development of graduates. The contractor will be required to develop, manage and deliver the programme on behalf of ITI. Two key staff will be appointed by the contractor — a programme director who will be the primary point of contact with full autonomy for programme management, delivery and administration and an innovation boost office manager who will oversee and co-ordinate the administration of the programme. The initial 5 years of the contract will be to recruit all projects onto the programme and manage their delivery through to completion. The remaining 2 years will be to allow the contractor to oversee the delivery of the final projects through to completion and will not include the recruitment of any new companies onto the programme.
