The brief

The XpoNorth Digital contract is delivered under the Northern Innovation Hub (NIH): the NIH is part of the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal - a joint initiative supported by GBP315m investment from the UK and Scottish governments, The Highland Council, HIE and the University of the Highlands and Islands.

The XpoNorth Digital programme has the specific intention of supporting businesses to develop digital practices and to maximise exploitation of the crowd economy.

It is expected that these services will be required from 1 August 2022 for an initial period of 2 years, with HIE having the option to extend two times for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term (2+1+1 years).

The initial 2-year budget currently available to deliver this service is between GBP 438,000 and GBP 732,000 (excluding VAT).

The budget includes funding from HIE to allow the services to be delivered across the whole Highlands and Islands region, although the volume of clients outside of the Highland Council area is currently limited due to funding.
