The Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (CEME) is running an ERDF Project that will provide bespoke innovation support and advice to enable technology sector SMEs, to access investment finance from a variety of public and private sector sources.

We are seeking additional Consultancy support to ensure all outputs are achieved on this project by the end date. This support will end January 2013.

This role is extremely specialised and needs a person who has a background, not only in business, but in the technology industry. It is also of the utmost importance that the consultant "can hit the ground running" and is familiar with client requirements and CEMEs processes and procedures. Additionally, experience of conducting Article 13 and/or 16 Audits and managing ERDF funding projects is essential.

At this time we are requesting that applicants submit a daily consultancy rate of their fees and outline their experience in this field by Friday 30th March 2012.
