The procurement, valued at approximately £4 million, will span 3+1 years, with a budget allocation of £1 million for the initial years 2025-26, and will be conducted under a dynamic purchasing system method within the UK region. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in immersive technology solutions, educational software, and support services, particularly those experienced in the educational sector. Enterprises focusing on training simulators, training aids, and industrial and personal development training services stand to benefit.
