The procurement falls under the goods category and involves showcasing wireless Agri-tech use cases at various locations in the River Severn catchment area. The project requires a Mobile Connectivity Facility to be operational by September 2024, with a contract period spanning from August 6, 2024, to March 31, 2025. The deadline for tender submissions is July 22, 2024, with the bid opening scheduled for the same day. This tender by Hartpury University presents an opportunity for businesses involved in wireless telecommunications systems and Agri-tech sectors to supply the Mobile Connectivity Facility. Suppliers capable of meeting the tight operational timeline and providing wireless connectivity solutions are encouraged to bid. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, offering businesses a chance to contribute to the innovative project aimed at promoting advanced wireless technologies in the River Severn catchment area. ## Notice Hartpury University has been awarded funding by the The River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region to deliver a Roadshow programme capable of demonstrating a variety of wireless Agri-tech use cases and is procuring a Mobile Connectivity Facility. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region (RSPAWIR) aims to encourage the adoption of advanced wireless technologies by businesses and organisations in the catchment area of the River Severn. Hartpury University has been awarded funding by the RSPAWIR to deliver a Roadshow programme capable of demonstrating a variety of wireless Agri-tech use cases in a range of locations throughout the River Severn Catchment area, principally at local agricultural shows across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Powys, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. In order to facilitate this, a Mobile Connectivity Facility is required which can utilise satellite backhaul wherever it is located and can provide various forms of connectivity to devices (procured separately) that demonstrate a range of applications. While not on the road, and primarily beyond September 2024, this facility will be located at Hartpury University's Digital Innovation Farm where it should be capable of connecting to the fixed broadband service and providing wireless connectivity to a wide variety of devices on the farm. There is an extremely tight timescale for the project to become operational and consequently, Hartpury University is keen to receive bids from suppliers who are either able to supply the facility out-right, in as short a timeframe as possible or, where lead times may be relatively long, to loan equipment of equivalent specification in advance of providing a new facility. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019576-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Aug 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HARTPURY UNIVERSITY | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL19 3BE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Forest of Dean | | Electoral ward | Hartpury & Redmarley | | Westminster constituency | Forest of Dean | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32510000 - Wireless telecommunications system ## Release History - 26 Jun 2024 at 15:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019576-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.hartpury.ac.uk - https://www.hartpury.ac.uk/for-business/hartpury-agri-tech-centre ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
