About this contract

1. The Defence Collage of Technical Training (DCTT) Defence School of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering (DSEME) Common Engineering Applications, (CEA), Department requires 8 x Control Equipment Training Aids, Software Package and 5 year maintenance and servicing package to replace obsolete training aids within the site. The servo mechanisms and software shall be provided with all the required associated components and a full suite of training aids. 2. The solution provided must be capable of operating against the design specifications of the LEARN network. At present the system is a standard Windows Server 2016 environment based on VMWare ESXi hosts with Cisco networking equipment; however over time this will update and so it is necessary to check current status before commencing development. The solution must also be structured to operate on a Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), currently at Moodle 3.1 but will also update. 3. The training aids and software is to be supplied and installed no later than 8 January 2018 (IOC) to the site. 4. The site has suitable power to accommodate the servo mechanisms.
