This procurement falls under the training services category (CPV code 80500000) and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender is at the active stage and was published on 5th October 2017, with a submission deadline of 19th October 2017. The total contract value is £113,000, and successful suppliers will be required to deliver the training aids and associated software by 8th January 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in design and educational technology solutions, particularly those that specialise in training aids and simulation software. Companies capable of providing robust control engineering equipment and integrating systems into existing network infrastructures will be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is a selective process, allowing targeted suppliers to participate, which could favour those with previous experience in similar contracts, including SMEs keen to expand their service offerings in the defence sector. ## Notice 1. The Defence Collage of Technical Training (DCTT) Defence School of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering (DSEME) Common Engineering Applications, (CEA), Department requires 8 x Control Equipment Training Aids, Software Package and 5 year maintenance and servicing package to replace obsolete training aids within the site. The servo mechanisms and software shall be provided with all the required associated components and a full suite of training aids. 2. The solution provided must be capable of operating against the design specifications of the LEARN network. At present the system is a standard Windows Server 2016 environment based on VMWare ESXi hosts with Cisco networking equipment; however over time this will update and so it is necessary to check current status before commencing development. The solution must also be structured to operate on a Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), currently at Moodle 3.1 but will also update. 3. The training aids and software is to be supplied and installed no later than 8 January 2018 (IOC) to the site. 4. The site has suitable power to accommodate the servo mechanisms. The system software should be installed without relying on the existing network infrastructure or the Defence network (Dii(f)). 5. Suitable training is to be provided for all associated instructors, detailing all aspects of the simulator and the instillation and is to be carried out on site at DSEME. SCOPE - Control equipment training equipment provides the environment by which Artificers can apply control theory to problem and design based problems during training to meet current and future training objectives. The equipment must have scope for the study of analogue and digital control, support Training Objectives and meet the academic assignments, (Level 6), requirements of the BSc qualification. CONTROL ENGINEERING TRAINING EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS 13. The control engineering training equipment must be capable of: a. Simulation and display of Nyquist and Bode for closed and open loop transfer function analysis for gain and stability determination. b. Design and application of three term analogue control, Proportional, Integral and Derivative, (PID), with the option to separate and use combinations of PID. c. Simulation of the effects of positive and negative feedback on system performance and behaviour. d. Digital control transfer function analysis e. Digital speed and positional measurement f. Digital controllers which control physical hardware and simulate the units outcome. g. Integrated software package which provides a firmware capability for integrated circuits. h. System transfer function analysis, time constant i. Feed forward systems, velocity feedback j. Motor and Eddy current characteristics k. Analogue to digital conversion Additional information: To view this notice, register as a supplier here: http://www.contracts.mod.uk/delta/signup.html?userType=supplier and search for the notice with reference 'GB-MOD Lyneham: Control Equipment Training Aids (CETA)'. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b792e982-9d8e-4825-8084-a5d8c0825456 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 19 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2017 - 17 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £113,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | AIR COMMERCIAL TEAM | | Locality | HIGH WYCOMBE | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP14 4UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Ridgeway West | | Westminster constituency | Mid Buckinghamshire | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 5 Oct 2017 at 15:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b792e982-9d8e-4825-8084-a5d8c0825456 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b792e982-9d8e-4825-8084-a5d8c0825456 5th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.contracts.mod.uk/delta/signup.html?userType=supplier ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
