Student Halls Wi-Fi Upgrade (Pilot Phase)
This sits below the typical range for Radio, TV & Communications Equipment contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 6,686 valued Radio, TV & Communications Equipment tenders in our corpus.
The University is upgrading Halls of Residence Wi-Fi, which is a key service used by students for both educational and leisure purposes.
The University is seeking to run a pilot upgrade to test the effectiveness of in-room wall plate mounted access points.
This Tender document relates specifically to the pilot phase of the project only.
The outcomes of the pilot will inform the final design rolled out to the remainder of the Halls estate, should that go ahead.
The pilot model is to install an in-room WAP in every other student bedroom (i.e. approximately one per two rooms) and reposition existing enterprise class WAP in the corridors of each flat.
All WAPs will be free-issue by the University from existing stock.
The Pilot Phase is the initial phase of a wider project the University is looking to undertake to support the upgrade of the student halls.
Wi-Fi service information gathered from the Pilot Phase will inform the approach adopted for the full rollout.
A separate project will be tendered to upgrade the remaining student halls outside of the Pilot Phase.
Awarding of a contract for the Pilot Phase, does not mean the automatic awarding of a contract for the upgrading of the remaining student halls buildings outside of the Pilot Phase.
The University reserves the right to cancel or delay the undertaking of a further tender for the upgrading of the remaining student halls buildings outside of the Pilot Phase.
