The College is at early stage in development its proposals for a BIM Cave but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most potentially attractive way of packaging and scoping this procurement opportunity.

• Promote the benefits and use of BIM
• Demonstrate the collaborative approach for integrated system design

In addition the use and application of VR/AR, Pre-Construction Design, Construction methodology and sequencing, Asset Maintenance and Integrated design management and solutions etc

Please note this is not a call for competition, this is for the purpose of conducting a soft market testing exercise and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment to undertake any procurement exercise.
