City College Plymouth - Computer Desks for STEM Centre
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
City College Plymouth is currently constructing a state of the art centre of excellence for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths also known as "STEM".
Details of the scheme including floor plans can be viewed on the College website www.cityplym.ac.uk/stem-coe.
The building is due to open in September 2017 and is facilitating the closure of the College's Goschen Centre.
Within the new building several computer hubs will be created.
Within these large spaces a number of central islands will be set up.
To achieve the power and data cabling required to enable this, the majority of the desks will be hard-wired; making use of sockets on modesty panels and cable management attached to the desks.
The computer desks must therefore be delivered and installed before final completion of the building.
The College is looking to purchase approximately 256 computer desks.
The anticipated value of the supply contract will exceed £25,000.
Therefore, as per the Public contracts Regulations 2015 the opportunity will be advertised on the government portal 'Contracts Finder'.
