## Notice

The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a Business Simulation package that can be deployed as a teaching tool for c. 700 users over a 2-3-week period annually (generally in June each year).

The simulation forms an embedded part of the teaching for module IB9BF0 Business in Practice. Alongside support for the deployment of the simulation, the provider will be required to provide some training to the teaching team, provide training materials (videos and guides) for students, offer technical support and further guidance during the simulation deployment and be able to customise and extend the simulation content/actions in line with the requirements of the module leaders (to be delivered between January and April each year).
