Notice Title

(NU/1776) Supply of Tablet PCs for Students

Notice Description

The Schools of Natural and Environmental Sciences (SNES) Engineering (SoE) and Mathematics, Statistics and Physics has provided tablets to all Stage 1 students since September 2019. Students will use the tablets during teaching sessions to access lecture notes and write-on functionality will enable notes to be taken in a very similar way to how hard copy handouts are used currently. We estimate purchasing 1600 tablets will be required under this tender exercise conducted under Lot 2 (Hardware & Associated Services) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services Framework (RM6068)
