The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 27th January 2020. This tender is essential for UCL's new facility, which aims to integrate enhanced IT systems to support shared scientific platforms and manage equipment assets effectively at their location in London, WC1E 6BT. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, software development, and asset management solutions. Companies that are capable of integrating with existing booking systems, such as Stratocore, will find this procurement particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement specifically indicates suitability for SMEs, making this a valuable chance for growth in the competitive landscape of public contracts. ## Notice Background to the Project / Contract: The project's main aim is to deliver a solution that will assist owners of scientific platforms (assets) with creating digital records of their assets, managing assets maintenance activities and indicating asset availability to stakeholders within the organisation. UCL is building a new facility which will house Queen Square Institute of Neurology (QSIoN) wet laboratories, the UK Dementia Research Institute (DRI) Headquarters, the UK DRI UCL Centre, and a National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) outpatient and MRI units. A new operating model will be introduced across the building which will require enhanced IT systems to support the model. One of the key concepts of the new operating model is the concept of shared space and resources. To enable this vision, shared scientific platforms (assets) to be bookable by researchers and charged to their respective grants. An Asset Management system is required to ensure that all equipment assets are identified and managed effectively throughout their lifecycle. The Asset Management system will be integrated with a booking solution creating a simple, secure and unobtrusive auditable equipment utilisation system. The existing booking and charging system we are trialling is Stratocore. The ability to integrate with Stratocore and similar booking systems is essential.
