Sheffield Hallam University is one of the UK's largest and most diverse universities: a community of more than 32,000 students, 4,000 staff and more than 250,000 alumni around the globe. Our mission is simple: we transform lives. We provide people from all backgrounds with the opportunity to acquire the skills, knowledge and experience to succeed at whatever they choose to do. Our teaching, research and partnerships are characterised by a focus on real world impact - addressing the health, economic and social challenges facing society today. The university has an ambitious plan for its taught portfolio, recognising the significant demand for skills development and the opportunity for a truly applied higher education experience. As a part of our strategy the university is seeking to extend its portfolio into the UK and Global online market to capitalise on its growing reputation as a leading applied and entrepreneurial university. The university is seeking a commercial partnership to develop, scale and grow our online portfolio and extend our brand nationally and globally, in an operationally and financially sustainable way. We expect the partnership to be for up to 12 years with a value of up to £50m for the partner. We are looking for an online education partner with a considerable track record of partnering with Higher Education institutions, who will work with us to develop a new wholly online portfolio of post-graduate courses that reflect our ambition to be the world's leading applied university and ensure we are able to reach prospective students on a UK and global stage. We are not seeking a model whereby the University only validates or accredits the provision - our vision for an online portfolio is founded on the premise that our online students will feel a part of Sheffield Hallam University and will be able to benefit from our teaching, learning and distinctive Hallam Model. We are not however expecting there to be any mandatory attendance on campus as a part of the course delivery; the desired model is a fully online one. The university's current online portfolio (c.22 courses of which 17 are postgraduate level) has been developed organically for a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) market, predominantly in the health and education areas. We are not seeking in the first instance to replace any of this existing provision; rather we are looking to develop an additional offer with potential to attract high student numbers from both UK and international markets. As the partnership matures and we build capacity and capability within Sheffield Hallam we will want the flexibility to add to the portfolio and respond with agility to global trends and potential changes to UK market opportunities. Creating a student experience that is authentic to the Sheffield Hallam mission, vision and values lies at the heart of this exciting new development; we believe that getting this right, in an applied learning context, will distinguish our offer from that of others. We want a partner who will be just as invested in student success as we are; who will work with us to create a coherent and consistent experience supported by both organisations. The academic pedagogy and delivery will come from the University but will be informed and shaped by the partner's considerable experience in online education; the prospective student journey and end-to-end student success will be delivered by the partner, working closely with the university. The partner and the university will work closely together to develop systems and processes to support the online offer. By harnessing strength and capability across both organisations, the Online portfolio will become a means to truly transform lives.

Sheffield Hallam University requires a Hygrothermal Chamber with its supporting equipment, initial consumables, software, and warranties, for the College of Business, Technology and Engineering (BTE).

The purpose of the chamber is to simulate climatic factors to enable the durability and performance of materials to be established in a wide range of temperature, humidity, and rain/flood conditions.

This Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) has been published to inform the market of an impending exercise to engage with system providers to assist Sheffield Hallam University in understanding the market's capability for meeting its objectives and outcomes in respect of a modern, comprehensive and integrated approach to research and innovation management. This is the market's opportunity to explain how the University's stated objectives and outcomes might be best achieved. It is important to note that a PMC is not a call for competition/procurement exercise. Following PMC, the university may decide that a procurement is not the best solution to achieve its required outcomes. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PMC understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed and that its participation is undertaken at its own risk and cost. Additional information: In order to access the detailed information provided and to respond to this PMC please register on Sheffield Hallam University's In-Tend site https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffieldhallamuniversity and look for reference 2223-25-RIS-JW-PMC.

Sheffield Hallam University requires a CNC Fibre Laser Cutter with its supporting equipment, software and warranties for the College of Business Technology and Engineering (BTE). The intended use of the new CNC fibre laser cutter is two-fold. Firstly, it will be used to educate groups of students on the state-of-the-art manufacturing process and secondly to facilitate the manufacture of a vast array of components designed by students and University staff for a variety of projects, teaching aids and maintenance components. Usually there are 2 main driving factors when it comes to selecting an appropriate laser cutter; working area, i.e., the largest piece of material that can fit within the machine, and the power of the laser source. However due to the lack of space within the departments building it is more applicable to state the size of the space available for the machine and then base our selection on how well a certain machine maximises its overall size in comparison with the available working area. In terms of laser power, we will specify the thicknesses of different materials we cut and allow the manufacturers to recommend a laser power. The use of the machine also drives our specification as typically these machines are designed for high volume production whereas our machine will be used for very low volume but by many different users of different skill sets so safety and ease of use is of importance in addition to speed. It is essential that students and members of staff can be quickly and easily trained to use the machine with very little support from technical staff as the work hours involved with this would be un-feasible. Please see tender documents at https://intendhost.co.uk/sheffieldhallamuniversity.

Sheffield Hallam University requires a portable Raman spectrometer with its supporting equipment, initial consumables, hardware, software, and warranties, for the College of Health, Wellbeing and Life Sciences (HWLS). The equipment is part of a long-term plan to ensure that the University continues to offer an up-to-date, industry-relevant experience to our students and that we teach innovative cutting-edge technologies that not only add to the student experience but also the credibility of the University. The Raman instrument will be used for research and teaching. Teaching uses will include in lecture demonstrations, use by students in practical classes and use by students in final year project work (a range of different projects). The instrument must be easy to operate and robust enough for student use. There are several practical classes where the instrument would be useful, for example organic synthesis to provide rapid structural information of end-products and forensic analytical-based labs which require characterisation of unknown substances. Research projects will align with staff research interests. These include: development of rapid and non-destructive chemical characterization; investigating changes in conventional analyses of different sample types in a forensic setting, (including identification of counterfeit alcohol products through analysis of labels (ink and substrate composition) using spectroscopic and spectrometric methodologies); drugs of abuse; pharmaceuticals; organic synthesis; and medical diagnostics.
