## Description

The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking to establish a Research and Technology Organisation \(RTO\) Dynamic Framework \(DF\) to support the delivery objectives of our Ubiquitous Connectivity \(UC\) team\.The main objective of the UC team is to deliver on collaborative projects in partnership with consortium members for different types of customers ranging from end-users, industry, government/councils, LEPs etc\. The framework is need for the following reasons\. Firstly, we recognise that there are some areas of expertise which may not exist with the team, therefore this framework will hopefully fill these gaps\. Secondly, in periods of peak project load, the framework will allow the offloading of work while the team takes a more supervisory role\. Thirdly, it is hoped that the framework will support more efficient processes that will allow access to off-the-shelf as well as cutting edge technologies, solutions and products which will support us not only in the timely delivery through efficient purchases but also be in the forefront of innovation\.
