## Summary

Newcastle University has successfully completed a public procurement process titled "(NU/1679) Supply of Tablet PC's for Student Use" aimed at acquiring 1,620 tablet PCs to enhance educational delivery for students in the Schools of Natural and Environmental Sciences and Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically the supply of data-processing machines (CPV code 30210000). The tender was conducted via a selective procurement method, concluding on 1st July 2021, with the contract period commencing on 12th July 2021 and concluding on 16th August 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses interested in supplying hardware products, particularly those that meet the specific requirements set forth by Newcastle University. Suppliers who are part of Lot 2 (Hardware & Associated Services) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services Framework (RM6068) are encouraged to participate in such tender processes, making it particularly suitable for SMEs with expertise in technology solutions. The estimated contract value of over £600,000 further highlights the financial potential for competitive suppliers in the educational technology market.

## Notice

The Schools of Natural and Environmental Sciences (SNES) Engineering (SoE) and Mathematics, Statistics and Physics has provided tablets to all Stage 1 students from 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 1620 tablets. The scope of this requirement is for the supply and delivery of a tablet that meets the specification, and comes with a 3 year warranty included. This opportunity is only being made available to those suppliers appointed to Lot 2 (Hardware & Associated Services) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services Framework (RM6068).
