What is being bought

Published requirement description

The requirements of our Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Laboratory seek to create a new, active learning facility, bringing experimental testing resources into one place that will enable large groups of students to learn the fundamental principles of engineering science and technology through experimentation, observation, and analysis. Situated in the New Engineering Design Facility provides an opportunity to enlarge our student-centred facilities for understanding the fundamental principles of engineering science and technology. To this end, we wish to extend and complement our existing laboratory equipment with new teaching equipment especially designed to support inquiry-led learning through experimentation.

  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
