The tender, titled "VIRTUAL REALITY MEDICAL SIMULATION SOFTWARE," falls under the industry-specific software package category (CPV: 48100000) and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The awarded contract period is from 1st November 2024 to 31st October 2026, with possibilities for extension for up to two additional one-year periods. The procurement method used was an open procedure above the threshold. The software is intended for use by the University’s School of Health and Care and other partners, providing bespoke purpose-built simulations for an unlimited number of users. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in industry-specific software, particularly those experienced in virtual reality and medical simulation. Companies capable of delivering customisable VR platforms that can accommodate a high number of users are well-suited to compete in future similar projects. The contract's scale, valued at £200,000, and the potential for extensions, offer a lucrative prospect for suppliers looking to expand their portfolio in the educational and healthcare simulation sectors. ## Notice Coventry University is seeking a suitably qualified supplier to provide medical simulation software that may be accessed via virtual reality 'VR' headset and laptop or desktop and via Cave Automatic Virtual Environment 'CAVE'. In addition, this software must have some editable features, to allow us to create bespoke purpose-built simulations. It is expected that the software will allow an unlimited number of users or 'seats' so that it may be used by all learners across the School of Health and Care and wider partners. This software is required for a period of two years, commencing 1st November 2024, and expiring on 31st October 2026. Following a successful contract review, there may be a possibility of extending the contract for a further two, one-year periods.
