## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University has conducted a tender process, identified as CW82-JR, for upgrades and additions to its existing Flight Simulator equipment, classified under CPV code 48120000. The procurement process, which utilised a competition waiver as the method, has completed its award phase. The tender period concluded on 18 December 2018, while the awarded contract has durations from 4 March 2019 to 5 March 2020. Located in Sheffield, within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, this opportunity has a total value of £59,200.

This tender presents an opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in flight simulation technology and related software solutions. Businesses that can provide tailored upgrades and support for bespoke simulation systems would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging with Sheffield Hallam University can facilitate growth in this niche sector, often requiring industry-specific expertise and innovative solutions to meet unique institutional needs.

## Notice

Sheffield Hallam University has appointed a supplier for the provision of upgrades and additions to the previously procured Flight Simulator equipment and software. Our existing equipment is unique and build to order by a single UK supplier. Purchasing a completely new aircraft simulation system which matched our current system's capability and upgrade requirements, would require a significant capital investment by the University.
