The "public sector provider or limited company" is a tad limiting. This looks like the kind of thing you want to throw a talented CS grad student who's familiar with graph algorithms at for a couple of weeks, but in general they're not going to have their own limited companies. I suppose you could find an umbrella at short notice if you had to, but the hassle factor would be high for a single contract.
- CycleStreets 13y agoYes, this is the requirement of the funder, not our own requirement. Collaboration formally with the containing University could potentially be a possibility.
- pja 13y agoI thought that might be the case. Trouble with university funding depts is that they're usually slow, although my University isn't too bad: at least they let their Researchers take on outside contracts like this & I believe will handle all the paperwork / legals for a small cut. I'll forward your link round the department. Someone might bite...
