Each project we work on is unique in terms of duration, inputs, complexity, location, contracting framework, budget constraints, deliverables, and nature of the activity. ANU Enterprise provides business development and project management services for and on behalf of Australian National University (ANU).
Tender Support and Business Development services

Personal Consultancies at ANU
Under the ANU Paid Outside work policy, the University encourages academics to develop and maintain professional standing in the community through undertaking a limited amount of personal consultancy work per year (52 days a year as per the ANU Enterprise Bargaining Agreement).
What does ANU Enterprise provide?
ANU Enterprise supports ANU academics and staff in contracting with Industry and Government, including advice on costing and pricing, personal indemnity and public liability insurance, contract negotiations, project scope, invoices, and payments.
What do your consulting support services cost?
ANU Enterprise Consulting service cost is generally borne by your industry or government customer.
A baseline of 15% of the overall contract value, as set by the DVCRI, for basic processing, insurance and contract management applies. For additional services you may require like project management, contact us or see our Fee Guide.
If you’ve already agreed on a contract value with your industry or government partner before engaging ANU Enterprise, you’ll need to deduct the ANU Enterprise fee from the contract price before deciding if this is the right option for your project.
