## Summary

Cardiff University plans to conduct an open procurement process for the provision of Integrated Structured Clinical Examinations (ISCE) POD hire, aimed at supporting the assessments of undergraduate medical students in their MBBCh course. As a sub-central government public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, Cardiff University seeks to establish a contract by inviting suppliers to bid for this below-threshold competition in the goods category, specifically under the CPV classification 39154000 for exhibition equipment. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with key deadlines, including the end of the tender submission period on 20 June 2025, and the end of the enquiry period on 13 June 2025. The contract is expected to commence on 2 February 2026 and may be renewable up to 1 February 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in exhibition equipment and services tailored for academic or clinical settings to expand their market presence and collaborate with a prestigious educational institution. The suitability criteria indicate a preference for participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), making this an attractive opportunity for these entities to gain a foothold in the education sector. Companies equipped to deliver technically precise and innovative solutions conducive to practical academic assessments could find this procurement particularly advantageous for business growth. With electronic submissions allowed, interested businesses are urged to prepare their proposals to meet the specified requirements and deadlines.

## Notice

It tests students' ability to communicate and perform a range of clinical examinations and related technical skills in an integrated fashion.
