## Summary

The University of Plymouth is inviting tenders for the "Upgrade to Coastal basin" project in the Marine equipment category. The project involves upgrading the Ocean Basin facility at Plymouth University, with a contract value of GBP 589,704. The tender has a contract period starting on 22nd May 2024 and ending on 22nd May 2025. The procurement method is a selective procedure, with a tender deadline set for 22nd May 2024.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses that specialize in marine equipment and installations to engage in upgrading critical infrastructure. Suppliers need to provide components that integrate seamlessly with existing control systems provided by Edinburgh Designs. The University of Plymouth, as the buying organisation, seeks qualified suppliers capable of upgrading equipment for long-term facility sustainability, offering a valuable business growth opportunity for selected suppliers.

## Notice

The work required to be undertaken is wide ranging, but all linked to upgrading the Ocean Basin at Plymouth University. The Ocean Basin was built by Edinburgh Designs after they won the original tender process. The design of the basin and all the associated hardware and software were provided by them as part of that original build. This work is to replace worn parts and future-proof the facility by upgrade equipment that is now obsolete. While several of the component parts of this work, including the motor drives and hydraulic pistons and pumps are available from other suppliers, each of these parts needs to be controlled by and integrated into the existing overall control systems. These control systems use hardware and software that are build and written by Edinburgh Designs. Please note that this is a VEAT notice, therefore there are no tender documents linked to this notice.
