This procurement falls under the category of furniture, specifically focusing on enhancing teaching environments within the School of Engineering. The tender is currently active, with a deadline for submissions set for 24th May 2018. The total estimated value of the contract is £90,000, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2018 and conclude by 31st August 2018, in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in furniture manufacturing and installation, particularly those that can offer innovative and flexible solutions tailored for educational environments. Companies with expertise in bespoke furniture design, or those able to provide adaptable workspace solutions, will find this procurement particularly suited to their offerings. Engaging with this tender could lead to long-term relationships with Newcastle University and further opportunities in the higher education sector. ## Notice The School of Engineering has recently undertaken a series of user engagement workshops exploring PC cluster provision in Merz Court. Examining teaching methods alongside innovative learning spaces, a flexible cluster has been designed to meet future requirements of our students and staff. Capable of accommodating up to 118 students across two rooms (73 and 45 respectively), the space can facilitate individual taught and self-study activity as well as group working. The design of this space is intended to allow the furniture configuration to be altered to the needs of the activity taking place; as a traditional PC cluster with high performance desktop computers or as flat mini-conference style desking for small group work and study. The desk furniture therefore needs to reflect the multiple requirements of the space and be flexible enough to allow reconfiguration without the involvement of specialist or support staff; the main aspect of this is to allow the storage of displays, mice and keyboards when the desks are in their group study, or flat working space configuration. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87df8670-fec6-4d47-af76-557a157c21c9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 May 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 31 Aug 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | 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 | NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 7RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39000000 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ## Release History - 4 May 2018 at 10:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87df8670-fec6-4d47-af76-557a157c21c9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87df8670-fec6-4d47-af76-557a157c21c9 4th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7dbf1966-824f-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.ncl.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
