Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Derby procured simulation devices and related services for training purposes. The requirement falls within the training simulator category and is classified as goods. Delivery was for the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based at Kedleston Road in Derby. The scope is described as “Simulation Devices and Services”, indicating a combined requirement for physical simulation equipment and associated services rather than general teaching supplies. This may suit manufacturers, specialist distributors, systems integrators and service providers working with training simulation technology. The opportunity was centred on the University of Derby’s operational requirement, with delivery and performance taking place in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 June 2026 to Gener8 Spaces Ltd. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value was £199,822. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 15 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was designated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Gener8 Spaces Ltd. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the contract covering the supply of simulation devices and related services for the University of Derby.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the University of Derby’s future simulation requirements. Credible competitors would need to supply training simulation devices and support the associated services as a single, dependable package. Relevant businesses include specialist simulator manufacturers, technology distributors, systems integrators and service providers with the capacity to deliver in the East Midlands. Experience of public sector framework agreements and call-off competitions would be commercially important, because this buyer used that route rather than an unrestricted tender. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist supplier could be well placed if it can demonstrate reliable equipment supply, practical implementation support and the ability to meet a short delivery and service requirement.
