Classified under computer equipment and supplies, this contract mandates the delivery of equipment to the Frenchay campus in Bristol by 31st March 2021, with a budget of approximately £225,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the contract period spans from 16th February 2021 to 15th February 2023. The tendering process has been completed, with the awarding date noted as 17th February 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational technology, particularly those that provide integrated digital systems and simulation equipment for higher education. Companies with proven experience in delivering similar systems or involved in engineering services would be well-suited to compete, especially given the emphasis on delivering a comprehensive solution to meet the university's advanced teaching and research needs. ## Notice The new Engineering building at UWE Bristol opened in November 2020. The building on Frenchay campus houses specialist digital engineering facilities, study areas and making facilities accommodating a wider range of engineering disciplines such as composite manufacturing, machining and metrology. The University requires a driving simulator system for teaching and research. The simulator will be used to teach students about vehicle dynamics, emissions and powertrains. The teaching will span from fundamental concepts to more advanced development and analysis of vehicle performance. The simulator is also likely to be used for research, potentially in conjunction with engine dynamometers as a driver in the loop system. The University requires the full system to be supplied by one provider with proven recent experience of supplying similar integrated systems within higher education establishments. In order to meet the needs of our grant funding, all equipment must be delivered to the site in Frenchay Bristol by 31st March 2021. The anticipated maximum total budget allowed for this items is in the region of PS225,000 excluding VAT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08708e9a-7499-4cb1-8907-17defbe9b802 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | 16 Feb 2021 - 15 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HE PORTAL | | Locality | AVON | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS16 1QY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CRUDEN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 48 - Software package and information systems - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies - 31700000 - Electronic, electromechanical and electrotechnical supplies - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems - 71300000 - Engineering services ## Release History - 12 Mar 2021 at 10:58 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08708e9a-7499-4cb1-8907-17defbe9b802 - 12 Mar 2021 at 10:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08708e9a-7499-4cb1-8907-17defbe9b802 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08708e9a-7499-4cb1-8907-17defbe9b802 12th March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.uwe.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
