## Summary

Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) is actively seeking to enhance its facilities by establishing a Dentistry Simulation Suite at its Medway campus, with plans solidifying towards the tender stage. This procurement process, currently at the tender phase, is set under an open competitive procedure, with interested parties encouraged to submit prequalification questionnaires. The procurement focuses on the installation and provision of dental simulation equipment, aiming for a fully operational suite by September 2026. Key deadlines include the end of the enquiry period on 23rd January 2026 and the submission deadline on 30th January 2026. With a budget ceiling of £400,000, and set as a competitive flexible procedure, this opportunity falls within the services category, prominently involving both services and goods related to the dental industry, specifically at the UKJ 44 region.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly suited to suppliers capable of delivering turnkey solutions in dental and subspecialty equipment installations. Ideal contenders for this contract include SMEs with expertise in high-quality dental equipment provisioning and installation services. By participating, businesses can expand their market base by aligning with a reputed educational institution like CCCU, thereby enhancing their portfolio in educational and medical simulation environments. The structure of the tendering process, which proceeds through stages after initial supplier assessment, offers a straightforward path for businesses prepared to demonstrate both economic and qualitative proficiency through a well-substantiated proposal.

## Notice

CCCU are looking to appoint a supplier who can offer a 'turnkey' solution for the installation, delivery and supply of dentistry simulation equipment resulting in a fully operational simulation suite ready for use at the start of the new academic year in September 2026.

### Planning Information

The University are planning to go to tender in January 2026. We have already engaged with a supplier to help build requirements but would welcome expressions of interest from other qualified suppliers. Please contact procurement@canterbury.ac.uk for more information.
