The tender, titled "Contract for the Supply, Delivery and Installation of Equipment for the Prosthetic and Orthotic Machine Room and Plaster Room", is a vital step in establishing a new MSc programme in Prosthetics & Orthotics scheduled to commence in January 2022. The tender is currently in the open stage with submissions due by 22nd July 2021. The contracting authority has allocated an estimated value of £150,000 for this supply and installation contract. The contract is set to start on 24th September 2021 and conclude by 17th December 2021, after which there will be a 12-month defects liability period. This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of specialised equipment related to machine tools and electric ovens, particularly those with capabilities in installation and maintenance services. As Keele University requires a single supplier for comprehensive coordination, businesses that can demonstrate strong financial standing and offer a complete package are well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their agility and specialised expertise to fulfil the contract requirements. ## Notice Keele University, School of Allied Health Professions, commence a new qualifying 2-year MSc in Prosthetics & Orthotics (P&O) in January 2022. This will be the first Master's level P&O graduating programme in the UK. This invitation to tender is to equip the machine room and plaster room to support the education of students on the programme. Tenders are therefore invited for the Contract for the Supply, Delivery and Installation of Equipment for the Prosthetic and Orthotic Machine Room and Plaster Room in accordance with the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the ITT. The Specification must be carefully read by Tenderers to ensure that they fully understand the scope of the required contract. The estimated total value of the contract is PS150,000 excluding VAT. Main reasons for decision not to subdivide contract into lots: Given the need for one supplier to co-ordinate the supply, delivery and installation of the equipment required, the contract has not been subdivided into lots. The Supply, Delivery and Installation of the Equipment for the Prosthetic and Orthotic Machine Room and Plaster Room shall be completed by 17th December 2021. The contract will run until the Completion Date of 17th December 2021 followed by a 12 month defects liability period. Training and Maintenance support will be provided for a 12 month period in accordance with the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the ITT. Tenderers must submit a tender for ALL items detailed in the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the ITT (these items also detailed in the Commercial Pricing Spreadsheet in Schedule B).
