## Summary

Newcastle University is conducting a tender for the supply of 1,600 tablet PCs aimed at enhancing the learning experience for students in the Schools of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. The procurement process, classified under "goods" and valued at approximately £620,730.40, follows an open procedure under Lot 2 of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services Framework (RM6068). The tender period ended on 16th May 2022, and the contracted period ran from 31st May 2022 to 22nd July 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the technology and educational supplies sectors. Suppliers of hardware and associated services, especially those qualified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders. The focus on delivering tablet PCs for educational settings indicates a demand for innovative technology solutions that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

## Notice

The Schools of Natural and Environmental Sciences (SNES) Engineering (SoE) and Mathematics, Statistics and Physics has provided tablets to all Stage 1 students since September 2019. Students will use the tablets during teaching sessions to access lecture notes and write-on functionality will enable notes to be taken in a very similar way to how hard copy handouts are used currently. We estimate purchasing 1600 tablets will be required under this tender exercise conducted under Lot 2 (Hardware & Associated Services) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services Framework (RM6068)
