The tender, titled "CAVE Equipment and Software - Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance Services," is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on computer equipment and audio-visual supplies. The tender period concludes on 15th February 2018, and the contract is scheduled to start on 19th March 2018, lasting until 18th March 2021. The project is centrally located in London, England, and has a total estimated value of £2,000,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced audio-visual technology, software development, and installation services to expand their market presence. Companies with proven experience in CAVE systems or those who can leverage a strong supply chain network will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Furthermore, this project aligns with sectors focused on educational technology and research facilities, particularly those geared towards developmental studies for children, making it a compelling venture for innovative firms in these domains. ## Notice This procurement is for a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) Equipment and Software - Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance Services framework agreement for Birkbeck, University of London ("Birkbeck"). See www.bbk.ac.uk for further information about Birkbeck. Birkbeck, University of London is looking to award a single provider framework agreement for CAVE Equipment and Software - Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance Services, including Motion Capture facilities. The Toddlerlab will provide a world-first ground breaking facility for the study of toddlers with autism and other developmental conditions. The facility has funding in place by the Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation and the Wolfson Foundation. The research will provide large-scale studies into understanding the different ways a toddler's brain processes stimuli. This will be created in a series of true-to-life environments to allow for as natural a social interaction to take place as possible. The Toddlerlab facility will expand on Birkbeck's Department of Psychological Sciences current research by focusing on the first four years of a child's life, which is currently a black hole in the study of development because of the difficulty in studying this age group. True-to-life environments are to be created in the new facility such as home environments, pre-school, sleep laboratories and a 'CAVE' laboratory, where AV equipment can create an interactive immersive environment of virtual indoor or outdoor scenarios. The Toddlerlab will take on board the latest technologies to digitally track eye gaze, movement and brain function. This framework will provide the option for call-offs in respect of the Toddlerlab CAVE and other requirements such as content development and compatible Motion Capture systems for other areas of the Toddlerlab, or wider facilities across Birkbeck should they arise during the lifetime of the framework. Bidders must be able to demonstrate previous experience in the design, supply, installation and maintenance of CAVEs, either directly or via their named supply chains. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da01ff14-5d4f-42bc-9161-dd77c1faa190 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Mar 2018 - 18 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | 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 | BIRKBECK COLLEGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1E 7HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 48 - Software package and information systems - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies - 32321200 - Audio-visual equipment - 32322000 - Multimedia equipment - 38650000 - Photographic equipment - 48520000 - Multimedia software package - 50340000 - Repair and maintenance services of audio-visual and optical equipment - 51310000 - Installation services of radio, television, sound and video equipment - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 19 Jan 2018 at 08:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da01ff14-5d4f-42bc-9161-dd77c1faa190 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da01ff14-5d4f-42bc-9161-dd77c1faa190 19th January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5e4076ed-a520-47f8-9418-06d3c95ddc21 OJEU Notice for CAVE Equipment and Software - Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance Services- 2018/S 011-020795 - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birkbeck/aspx/ProjectManage/104 Link to Opportunity ## Notice URLs - http://www.bbk.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
