Description

Sheffield Hallam University requires an Immersive Workspace with its supporting equipment, software, and warranties, for the Institute of Technology. The equipment is part of a long-term plan to ensure that the University continues to offer an up-to-date, industry-relevant experience to our students and that we teach immersive and innovative cutting-edge technologies that not only add to the student experience but also the credibility of the University.

This tender is for the supply, installation, commissioning, warranty, and maintenance of an Integrated (both hardware and software) Immersive Workspace.

The new Immersive workspace will provide an immersive learning environment used to support a variety of IOT (Institute of Technology) based courses within SHU - it will provide staff and students the opportunity to realise their own ambition and assist Sheffield Hallam in becoming the world's leading applied university.

The technical specification tables of requirements in the ITT documents detail the essential and highly desirable performance requirements of the machine identified by the University.

By the 1st September 2024 the equipment needs to be delivered and installed including and training needs to be completed. Four members of university staff will require full training on the machine, and this will need to be completed over the period between installation and 1st September 2024.
