Bath Spa University is seeking expressions of interest from experienced systems integrators to support the refurbishment of its TV Studio facilities at Newton Park Campus. The project involves the design, procurement, fit-out, integration, and commissioning of a complete end-to-end solution for the University’s multicamera TV production environment. The existing facilities, installed in 2013, include two production studios, a TV studio gallery, a central apparatus room, two audio mixing studios, and nine postproduction edit suites. After twelve years of continuous use, the infrastructure is due for a technical upgrade. The current system is based on a five-camera SDI setup, and the University is seeking to transition to a SMPTE ST 2110 IP-based backbone. The new solution will include updated embedded cameras, production and acquisition equipment, and must support both teaching and commercial use. The refurbishment will integrate with existing room layouts and wiring where possible. There is no longer a requirement for delivery of equipment for March. The studio will be required to be fully operational for teaching for the beginning of the academic year in September 2026. Due to teaching requirements, installation will begin in June 2026 following the end of the academic year. Interested suppliers must also be able to provide maintenance and service contracts for a minimum of five years following installation. Bath Spa University invites suppliers with relevant experience in broadcast systems integration, particularly within educational and commercial environments, to register their interest. A pre-market engagement questionnaire is available on the portal for completion. To view this notice, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=1002247682

Early Supplier Engagement Request: Bath Spa is looking for a Main Contractor/Consultant to enter into a Pre-construction services agreement to achieve the following Goals: Contribute to the design process itself. Advise on buildability, sequencing, and construction risk. Advise on the packaging of the works (and the risks of interfaces between packages). Advise on the selection of specialist contractors. Help develop the cost plan, and the construction program creates the method of installation. Obtain prices for work packages from sub-contractors or suppliers on an open-book basis. Prepare a site layout plan for the Installation stage showing temporary facilities. Draft the preliminaries for specialist and trade contractor bid documents. Background Bath Spa University (BSU) has a long and successful track record in energy efficiency improvements and decarbonisation. Our goal is to achieve net zero CO 2 emissions by 2030. Requirment: This requirement is for the Commons DHN, including all associated energy centre plants, the buildings' interfaces, and the TREND controls. We have an incumbent TREND BEMS service provider, who we expect to be engaged with any changes to the existing protocols. The project shall include funding from Salix or equivalent sources. Therefore experience working on these projects would be advantageous. The most significant challenge in this regard is the decarbonisation of heat in our main Newton Park campus. Heat is currently provided to most buildings on the campus via two hydrologically-separated district heating networks (DHNs). These are known as the "Commons" and "Gardens" DHNs. Heat to each DHN is currently provided via a 500 kW Froling woodchip boiler and supplementary gas backup. Each system's biomass and gas plant is co-located in two "energy centres". BEMS control is via a TREND system. As part of our decarbonisation strategy, we are working on the optimisation of these DHNs to; a. Optimise energy efficiency b. Maximise use of our existing biomass plant and; c. Prepare the systems for conversion to heat pump technology. d. Consider the fabric of the building and ensure these are optimised to provide optimum effectiveness of the mechanical and electrical works. In 2021, we commissioned a feasibility study to understand the scale and nature of the works required, the potential optimisation gains in terms of energy efficiency and biomass use and the challenges we will face in converting the systems to heat pump technology. This will be made available at the tender stage. If this opportunity is of interest to your organisation as a complete package or parts off.

Ethical Approval is a statutory operation for any Higher Education provider that conducts academic research, and applies to all core student and staff groups (undergraduate, postgraduate, postdoctoral, and other professional service groups). Where ethical adherence is established, it assures quality in the research methods and governance, participant protection, consent and data integrity. Ethical approval adherence is typically a pre-requisite for funding and publishing activity. Enhancing User Experience We are looking for a system that will provide instant visibility of the status of an application for ethical approval at any moment, exactly who it is with, and will notify the user of any updates in status. We want a streamlined, simple UI that is fully accessible and allows users to see not only current status in the end-to-end process, but all feedback notes, modifications and audit history for their application at a glance – with complete record-keeping on dates/times reviews took place, feedback given, amendments made, and approval dates. We want a one-stop shop for ethical approval – with all submission creation, submission for review, evaluation, feedback, and outcomes all recorded in one place for the user to find at any time. We want the solution to be flexible, allowing the user to upload supporting documents as required alongside the formal online forms. We are looking for a solution that would provide automation functionality which pushes notifications to users of actions against them as an application moves through the process. This applies end to end from application submission to final approval or rejection. Users should be alerted in the system and also via email registered to their User ID. The current advertised value is an estimate and ultimately depends on the solutions offered.

As Bath Spa University (BSU) scales, grows and diversifies as set out within our Strategy 2030, the information management systems adopted by BSU must be efficient and reliable, avoiding manual or duplication of work, thereby reducing manual errors. The Curriculum Management System (CMS) project will enable BSU to increase levels of data integrity, quality, efficiency and compliance, whilst reducing inefficiencies, manual effort, risks and student complaints. BSU propose to procure and implement a CMS software-based solution, to manage tasks and processes relating to our portfolio of academic programmes of study. It will support the design, development, modification, management, quality assurance, governance and delivery of taught programmes and modules. The system will be structured to provide guidance to staff, direction of processes, helping to increase efficiency and improve institutional data quality. The curriculum management system will support the lifecycle of a programme, delivering a transparent workflow, recording and managing accurate data as a central repository of all programme related information. In addition to the development process, the CMS will support documentation, maintenance, timetabling, resourcing, and reporting associated with programme management and delivery. Currently BSU are undertaking pre-market engagement to ensure we understand the market before proceeding with a formal procurement process.
