The procurement, titled "Category 1 - Robot (System) Simulation / Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality," is currently at the planning stage, with the tender period concluding on 12 May 2023. The contract is expected to commence on 13 May 2023 and will run until 14 May 2023. The location for delivery addresses includes various regions, including Cheshire and the United Kingdom. This selective procurement method follows a restricted procedure, allowing suppliers to apply for pre-qualification for multiple service categories outlined in the tender description. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those classified as Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in the burgeoning field of robotics. Given the wide range of categories available, businesses that offer services such as robotic automation solutions, AI software development, or training in robotic technologies would be well-positioned to compete. The ongoing nature of pre-qualification for this Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) provides flexibility for suppliers to enter the market whenever they are ready, thus fostering a more dynamic and competitive environment for economic operators in related fields. ## Notice 1.
