What were the lessons learned from Round One of the UMF?
In making arrangements for Round Two, we have reflected lessons learned from Round One, including the need for a longer bid preparation stage within the overall timetable (this stage closed on 20 April 2007). You may like to look at the report produced on Round One by the independent evaluators, Leeds Business School, which is available via the main UMF page on this website. The report concluded that the application and assessment process was efficient, robust and transparent; and produced a significant quantity of high quality bids.
