This contract, classified under the goods category with a focus on industrial robots, has a notable value of £500,000 and a minimum value of £100,000. The tender is scheduled to close on 25th February 2022, and the delivery is expected in the South East region of the UK. The process follows an open procurement method and aims to secure equipment and training for research purposes. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in robotics, automation, and related training services. Companies that can provide GMV ground-based robots with remote control and autonomous capabilities, as well as trainers experienced in autonomy software, would be particularly well-suited to tender. Additionally, this opportunity can enable suppliers to engage in long-term collaboration with an educational institution, potentially leading to further contracts within the sector. ## Notice Royal Holloway wishes to purchase a number of GMV ground-based robots with both remote control capability as well as autonomous guidance via on-board sensors, cameras and computing. The robots are intended primarily as research platforms making use of the supplied control and guidance and/or customised capabilities to support a wide range of activities. Royal Holloway also requires a controllable robot arm and a LIDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) system, which may be attached to at least one of the robots. In addition to the equipment, Royal Holloway wishes to purchase two training courses; the first as a general introduction to the equipment and its operation (up to 20 trainees); the second (for up to 12 trainees) covering autonomy software (including a GMV solution used by a Royal Holloway collaborator) and research applications. This RFQ process will be run via the university's Delta e-Sourcing portal and all responses must be submitted electronically via the portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/131c7524-a00f-44c0-b019-432b411a267b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 25 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Feb 2022 - 28 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROYAL HOLLOWAY AND BEDFORD NEW COLLEGE (KNOWN AS ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON) | | Locality | EGHAM | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW20 0EX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Runnymede | | Electoral ward | Englefield Green East | | Westminster constituency | Windsor | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42997300 - Industrial robots ## Release History - 11 Feb 2022 at 10:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/131c7524-a00f-44c0-b019-432b411a267b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/131c7524-a00f-44c0-b019-432b411a267b 11th February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Egham:-RHUL-22061-RFQ-for-the-Procurement-of-GMV-Ground-Based-Robots-&-Associated-Equipment-&-Training/KQTZ28YZ53 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
