## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University seeking suppliers for the supply and installation of Flip-Top Versatile PC Desks for Merz Court. This contract, classified under the furniture industry category, has a total value of £100,000 and was completed with an active award dated 2nd July 2018. The tender period ended on 24th May 2018, with the contract running from 8th July to 31st August 2018. The furniture is designed to accommodate learning activities for up to 118 students across two rooms in the North East region of England.

This contract presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in furniture design and installation, particularly those capable of providing flexible solutions for educational environments. Businesses that excel in innovative and adaptable furniture design would find this tender suitable, as it demands products that can easily be reconfigured for various teaching methods and learning scenarios. As Newcastle University continues to enhance its facilities, suppliers equipped to meet these diverse needs could position themselves favourably for future contracts.

## Notice

The School of Engineering has recently undertaken a series of user engagement workshops exploring PC cluster provision in Merz Court. Examining teaching methods alongside innovative learning spaces, a flexible cluster has been designed to meet future requirements of our students and staff. Capable of accommodating up to 118 students across two rooms (73 and 45 respectively), the space can facilitate individual taught and self-study activity as well as group working. The design of this space is intended to allow the furniture configuration to be altered to the needs of the activity taking place; as a traditional PC cluster with high performance desktop computers or as flat mini-conference style desking for small group work and study. The desk furniture therefore needs to reflect the multiple requirements of the space and be flexible enough to allow reconfiguration without the involvement of specialist or support staff; the main aspect of this is to allow the storage of displays, mice and keyboards when the desks are in their group study, or flat working space configuration.
