Description

The University of Chichester is seeking an AV supplier to provide the following at our 2 campuses:
• Supplier and installer or AV equipment.
• Call out maintenance of equipment.
• Equipment loans while longer-term equipment repairs are undertaken.
• Support for in-house maintenance team.
• Partner to develop AV strategy with.

Both campuses are served with high performance, highly resilient fixed and wireless networking. Campuses comprise of 81 class rooms at BOC, and 55 at BRC each equipped with varying standards, ages and complexities of AV.

A list of existing equipment across both our campuses in available in the tender document (appendices 4&5). Some of this is low-fi, but often this is all that is needed in for example a Dance Studio, and similarly in an IT lab, modern teaching is more likely to distribute images across the PC screens in the room, than to undertake traditional 'sage on stage' lectures.

Typically, the University refurbishes 20 or so room installations per year, and depending on their individual scale and complexity, works in partnership with suppliers to design and install new equipment.

Full details of our requirements are available in the tender documents.

But please do send your completed submission, including contact details in Section 1, and responses to sections 2 AND 3, to the University by the closing date of 18th July 2024 at 12am (Noon), to tenders@chi.ac.uk.
