## Summary

Forth Valley College, a public education institution located in Falkirk, has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of multipurpose driving simulators. The contract, identified as "Provision for Multi-Purpose Driving Simulators," was awarded to Tenstar Simulation Ltd. The procurement, under the industry category of driving simulators (CPV 34151000), aims to introduce simulators for educational purposes at Forth Valley College's Falkirk campus, enhancing driving practice and reducing physical vehicle usage. Initially announced in July 2025, the tender progressed through an open procedure, with the final contract signed on 6th November 2025. The installation deadline for the equipment is set for 12th December 2025.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity for companies specialising in advanced simulation technologies, particularly those with expertise in augmented and virtual reality systems. Business growth is achievable for companies capable of delivering high-quality, technologically advanced solutions that meet the college's stipulations for delivering immersive, simulated driving experiences. The project is particularly suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by Tenstar Simulation Ltd, which is an SME itself, demonstrating that smaller entities with specialised skills can successfully compete in such tenders. The room for further expansion through optional equipment upgrades during the contract period further enhances the potential for ongoing business development.
