Roles
Lead applicants must work throughout with at least one potential future customer who might use your solution when it comes to market. They can be a public, private or third sector organisation that is looking to tackle such a challenge. They should also help you understand their requirements, and explore the feasibility of your proposal. During phase 1 you must make plans with them for phase 2, to build a prototype and test it in real world scenarios.
Contracts will be awarded only to individual organisations but you can sub-contract specific tasks if they benefit the overall project. Ideally, subcontractors will have particular insight into the identified challenge area or clean growth agenda or be sector specialists or relevant academic institutions.
You can identify what role you see yourself in as part of site registration. You may select all three roles if you considerate that in you may wish to lead projects as well as support others as a potential customer or other type of sub-contractor.
