## Notice

Tenders are invited for the Supply and Installation of Network Cabling for the Network Transformation Project Phase 3 in accordance with the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the ITT. The maximum budget for the contract is PS160,000 excluding VAT. This maximum budget cannot be exceeded. The University will not consider any tender submissions that are over the maximum budget. Any tender submissions exceeding the maximum budget will be disregarded. Main reasons for the decision not to subdivide the contract into lots: Given the need for one supplier to co-ordinate the supply and installation of Network Cabling for the Network Transformation Project Phase 3, the contract has not been subdivided into lots. Tenderers should note that the cabling specification for the tender requirement is Excel CAT6 due to existing installations and patch panels within communications rooms (as confirmed in the document titled 'Tender Specification for the Supply and Installation of Network Cabling for the Network Transformation Project Phase 3') and NOT CAT6a (as detailed in the document titled 'General Specification of Copper and Fibre Optic Data cabling, General Specification of Wiring Rooms and cabinets'). All cables must be compliant to component specification to ISO/IEC 11801:2002, EN 50173:2022 and TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1. The University's currently supplied product is Excel CAT6 as per the Data Sheet appended to the tender specification. Tenderers may propose an equivalent manufacturer of equal quality or specification to the extent this will not void the warranty of any existing equipment, although the University reserves the right to reject any manufacturer that does not meet this standard. The Supply and Installation of Network Cabling for the Network Transformation Project Phase 3 (and any removal of ceiling tiles or grids or reinstatement required particularly fire stopping and ceiling grids) shall be completed by 31st July 2025.
