The contract, covering the industry category of training and simulation in aircrafts, missiles, and spacecrafts, has been awarded to ELITE Simulation Solutions AG. The open procedure tender culminated in an award notice published on 11 September 2024, with key contract dates spanning from 9 September 2024 to 8 September 2029. The procurement stage of this tender is the Award phase, and it addresses multiple delivery locations, including European and global destinations. The total award value is £300,000 GBP. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aviation training equipment, simulation technologies, and integrated training systems. SMEs stand to benefit greatly from this contract due to its open procurement method, which encourages wide participation. Companies equipped with capabilities in developing realistic flight simulation software, detailed systems simulation, and high-accuracy airport models will be especially competitive. Moreover, firms with experience in delivering comprehensive training devices that reflect real-world operations and compliance with flight crew operating manuals are well-positioned to excel in similar future procurement opportunities. ## Notice We are looking for suppliers to tender for a flight simulator with flight instructor training capabilities. The device must meet the following requirements: Instructor Operating Station (IOS) Capabilities: Ergonomically designed IOS with intuitive software for manipulating aircraft systems and failures. Customizable event triggers based on time, airspeed, altitude, or combinations thereof. Accuracy and Realism of Airport Models: Highly accurate airport models with correctly placed runways, taxiways, buildings, and detailed signage. Features such as dynamic jet ways, support vehicles, pushback capability, and aircraft traffic are preferred. System Simulation and Integration: Detailed systems simulation for training in normal, abnormal, and emergency scenarios across all phases of ground and flight operations. Global Database and Mission Capability: A comprehensive global database reflecting real-world landscapes, structures, and hazards. Support for familiarisation with new airports and flight plans, including departure, arrival, and approach procedures. Compliance with Real-World Training Requirements: Utilisation of factory Flight Crew Operating Manuals, checklists, and Quick Reference Handbooks. Evidence of the device's accuracy and its effectiveness in real-world training scenarios. Deliverables include a fully functional training device with comprehensive documentation on IOS functionalities, airport model accuracy, systems simulation, and global database features, demonstrating compliance with real-world training requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2c35080-fdaa-4153-a322-f436ca91a513 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | 8 Sep 2024 - 8 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £300,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KINGSTON UNIVERSITY | | Locality | SURREY | | Post town | Kingston upon Thames | | Postcode | KT1 1LQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI63 Merton, Kingston upon Thames and Sutton | | Local authority | Kingston upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kingston Town | | Westminster constituency | Kingston and Surbiton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ELITE SIMULATION SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80650000 - Training and simulation in aircrafts, missiles and spacecrafts ## Release History - 11 Sep 2024 at 16:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2c35080-fdaa-4153-a322-f436ca91a513 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2c35080-fdaa-4153-a322-f436ca91a513 11th September 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.kingston.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
