Supply and installation of a 3D Immersive Virtual Reality Facility (Powerwall) - Supported by the Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), Coventry University will be opening the National Transport Design Centre (NTDC) at its Technology Park in spring 2017. The centre will focus on design research, post-graduate education and industry engagement, both with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the transport sector (automotive, rail, marine and aerospace), suppliers in those sectors and potential new entrants. The facility will be equipped with industrial standard, state-of-the-art equipment, to ensure that NTDC can offer high quality design solutions, both physical and virtual, based on the outcomes of Coventry University’s design research. One of the key facilities will be a 3D immersive VR environment, otherwise known generically as a ‘Powerwall’. This facility will provide the centre with the ability to display, interrogate and manipulate computer generated models in a virtual 3D environment. We have a budget of between £150,000 and £220,000 (excluding VAT). For this budget we require the supply, installation, training and an on-going warranty: to include a 1 year warranty, plus the option to extend annually for a further 2 years. We would also like the option to extend the warranty on an annual basis, for additional years. If additional funding becomes available, we may also wish to enhance the facility further. This contract has not been divided into lots due to the technical nature meaning we will require the same supplier who supplies the Powerwall, to also install and maintain this new facility.

Durham Cathedral Open Treasure: AV Software Production - Durham Cathedral is one of the country's best loved buildings. Open Treasure is a major development project that will provide visitors to Durham Cathedral with an experience to match its international, cultural and historic value. It will open up both buildings and collections so that these they can be enjoyed by many more people of all ages and backgrounds. Visitor numbers will increase, generating additional revenue through ancillary spending and donations. This will contribute towards the on-going conservation of the Cathedral and its collections, ensuring access to the Cathedral Church remains free for all. Durham Cathedral are looking to engage a single supplier to design and deliver the AV Software for the Open Treasure Exhibition. A full scope of works is contained in the AV Software Brief. The Cathedral will remain open to the public during the AV Software installation, which will take place in synchronisation with the Exhibition Fit Out.

Provision of AV Software for Lapworth Museum - The Lapworth Redevelopment Project will turn a University departmental museum into an outward facing fully-accessible public museum that engages with its local communities. It will deliver an outstanding geological museum and heritage asset both for the region and national and provide a unique and greatly enhanced visitor experience based on the extensive and diverse collections, archives and associated information. The core of the museum will be restored to its original Edwardian appearance, building on its characteristic of being one of the few surviving, aesthetically intact museums of this period. At the same time, new display space will be provided and new interpretive methods will be embedded in order to strengthen the learning experience for all users. For the first time, dedicated classroom space will enable a dramatic increase in educational groups of all ages and levels of interest to be able to engage with the collections. This project will provide major improvements regarding access to collections and allow the Lapworth to develop its education, learning and outreach provision and will result in a significant advance in collection management, quality interpretive display and stewardship to ensure the heritage is optimally preserved and understood for future generations.
