The proposal is to include the development, supply, delivery, and commissioning of equipment (software and hardware) for the Virtual Reality Training Simulator. The Virtual Reality simulator training system will enhance the training programme for Healthcare Assistant techniques in the healthcare industry by providing an opportunity to develop practical skills and relevant knowledge in a virtual reality environment.  The units should be capable of performing on site duties to mirror Healthcare Assistant scenarios as outlined in specification. Equipment must be mobile and supplied with protective casing.  In the context of a single-party work agreement, the successful work member does not have to compete for each new contract.  It is emphasised that a work agreement constitutes no guarantee to purchase a specific quantity of supplies or services from a particular economic operator.
