    "description": "Please note that a Corrigendum Notice was published (FTS ref: 2023/S 000-028557) which amended the estimated total value in Section II.1.5 of the contract notice from PS2,000,000 to PS20,000,000. The quantities, which it is anticipated will be required under this Contract, was set out in the final tender stage of the competition within the Commercial Submission. This information was given for the guidance of the tenderers and was not deemed to be a condition of the Contract or a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to the successful tenderer should the actual demand be less than that stated. Further, the delivery of service as to be provided by the successful tenderer is demand-led. Changes which may affect the demand may include but are not limited to, technological upgrades/changes within the virtual production marketplace. Such changes may result in unanticipated workload growth which is higher than the levels accounted for within the tender competition. To be able to offer continuing service delivery as provided for by this tender competition the University reserves the right to commission additional product volumes over the life of the contract period, including any extension period(s) if utilised. Any steps taken by the University in this regard will be done in compliance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended).",

                "description": "The Vision for Studio Ulster (SU) is to be a leading Commercial Centre of Excellence in Virtual Production (\"VP\") in the UK and Ireland and to establish a 'Tier 1' Centre of Excellence in Research and Development and Innovation (R&D&I), in Real-time and Virtual Production, a rapidly developing suite of technologies and methodologies for screen content production. Located on the North Foreshore in Belfast, the development of SU in conjunction with the Belfast Harbour Film Studio complex creates a unique blend of facilities, that will drive commercial activity and collaboration in R&D on an unprecedented scale involving all strands of production and technology professionals involved in the virtual production, film, broadcast, animation, games, VFX and immersive sectors. The successful appointed tenderer will develop technical proposals for the equipment allowing SUL to deliver on the final Business Plan objectives. The design solutions presented shall be based on the successful tenderer's IP and best practices from experience to date in the VP sector. SU is a fully funded project, with Contracts for Funding executed and all associated legal agreements with Belfast Harbour in place. The project benefits from PS25.2m (PS21m excluding VAT) through BRCD, both contributions to support the initial development of the SU VP studio and to part-fund life cycle replacement costs for the specialist VP equipment, within the first 10 years of operation. Ulster University has committed PS3.6million from its own funds and has secured a further PS2.9m from the UK Levelling Up Fund. These sums represent the total scale of the SUL investment, inclusive of miscellaneous costs for items outside of this Competition (loose furniture, fees, marketing, branding etc.). The successful tenderer will develop the design, procure, deliver, install, test and commission the specialist equipment and provide all necessary training to SUL in the operation of the equipment.",
