Description

CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 11/01/2018 11:00 HOURS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO CARRY OUT A SITE VISIT as part of this tender. SITE VISITS WILL BE HELD ON 6th and 7th December 2017 - Bidders MUST send a message through EMPTORIS to request a slot. If you are unable to make these dates please request another time. The Hartree Centre of the Science & Technology

Facilities Council (STFC) is entering into a tender

process for the procurement of new visualisation

facilities at its new building on the same campus,

installation of new collaborative and development

rooms and integration of existing equipment at its new

premises on the Daresbury Laboratories site.

The newly relocated and updated visualisation

facilities will complement a large investment in

supercomputing capabilities at the Hartree Centre,

Daresbury. In addition to large-scale visualisation,

these procured facilities must be capable of

supporting collaborative working with partners on site

locally and offsite via collaborative communications

technologies. Connectivity between visualisation and

High Performance computing for scalability and

computational steering will also be an important
