In plain English
Aston University wants to buy manual total stations, which are surveying instruments used to measure land and building positions. The equipment will be used in teaching, supervised practical sessions and student fieldwork, both indoors and outdoors. The contract also includes five years of servicing and calibration after delivery.
What the buyer wants
• Supply robust, reliable and easy-to-use manual total stations suitable for repeated educational use by staff and students with varying experience. • Deliver and install the equipment as a one-off delivery. • Provide five years of servicing and calibration maintenance for the instruments.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific certifications or experience requirements, but the estimated value of £284,061 and the five-year servicing and calibration commitment mean a small business would need to show it can supply, install and maintain the equipment over that period.
