What is being bought

The following elements are required to fully relocate and upgrade the existing Marine simulators: Ships Bridge Simulator K-Sim Navigation upgrade: • Project/quality Management • Documentation • Assembly and configuration • Shipment • Installation on Site • Warranty K-Sim Navigation Full Mission and Desktop Simulator System Relocation: • Supervision and dismantling of existing simulators • Supervision and mantling of simulator in new location • Testing and perform an SAT of the relocated system Installation of AV equipment (wall-mounted monitors, speakers, mics etc) in Instructor/debrief rooms Ships Engine Room Control Room Simulator K-Sim Engine Full Mission #1 and Desktop Simulator System Relocation: • Supervision and dismantling of existing simulators • Supervision and mantling of simulator in new location • Testing and perform an SAT of the relocated system • Replace existing lighting relays in AutoChief • Re-install existing AV equipment (wall-mounted monitors, speakers, mics etc) in Instructor/debrief rooms • Documentation • Project/Quality management K-Sim Engine Full Mission #1 Expansion: • 1x 65" Touch monitor with wall bracket and computer with graphics card • 2x Local operating stations • Documentation • Project/Quality management • Packing and Shipment • Living • Site Acceptance Test • Warranty K-Sim Engine Full Mission #1 Simulator Software License: • 1x Walkthrough License for:− K-Sim Engine MAN B&W 5L90MC VLCC L11-V • 1x Xbox controller • Documentation • Project/Quality management • Living • Software Installation on 65" Touch monitor in item 1.2 • Site Acceptance Test • Training, 1 day • Warranty Network equipment, new switches for Full Mission #1 • 3 x 24-Port switches • Installation Milestone CCTV Cameras: • 1 x Computer with monitor (client station) • 1 x PoE Switch • 3 x Cameras with microphone • 3 x Milestone Device Licenses • Installation K-Sim Engine Desktop Software Licenses for WS Room #1: • 5 x Floating Desktop Licenses for K-Sim Engine DEDF42 Cruise Ferry - II • Remote Installation • Warranty DIRECT AWARD JUSTIFICATION Current simulation systems are provided by Kongsberg Maritime. The specialist hardware equipment and software is designed to operate with K-Sim Nav & Eng operating system which is currently running in all simulator facilities. Hardware and Software could be sourced from an alternative supplier but it would mean having to replace much of the simulation suite at a cost in the region of £4-5m. The current simulators have been used for an extensive period of time. During that time a very large library has been developed of hydrodynamic ship models and 3D geographic database areas, nearly all developed for specific clients who expect to be able to use them when they require training. These areas and models are only compatible with Kongsberg simulation and are developed using Kongsberg software tools. All the exercises developed over this extensive time period are also only compatible with Kongsberg simulation. Tyne Coast College holds the IP and for this software development. It would take many months, if not years, to recreate this development if the College moved to another simulation provider.

It would take many months, if not years, to recreate this development if the College moved to another simulation provider. Alongside this the lecturers who use the Kongsberg simulators are very proficient with this system, a new system would require a full and lengthy training exercise to be conducted and could guarantee the same level of knowledge. The current Long Term Simulator Service Plan is with existing providers Kongsberg.

    "procurementMethodRationale": "Current simulation systems are provided by Kongsberg Maritime. \nThe specialist hardware equipment and software is designed to operate with K-Sim Nav & Eng operating system which is currently running in all simulator facilities. Hardware and Software could be sourced from an alternative supplier but it would mean having to replace much of the simulation suite at a cost in the region of £4-5m.\nThe current simulators have been used for an extensive period of time. During that time a very large library has been developed of hydrodynamic ship models and 3D geographic database areas, nearly all developed for specific clients who expect to be able to use them when they require training. These areas and models are only compatible with Kongsberg simulation and are developed using Kongsberg software tools.\nAll the exercises developed over this extensive time period are also only compatible with Kongsberg simulation.\nTyne Coast College holds the IP and for this software development. It would take many months, if not years, to recreate this development if the College moved to another simulation provider.\nAlongside this the lecturers who use the Kongsberg simulators are very proficient with this system, a new system would require a full and lengthy training exercise to be conducted and could guarantee the same level of knowledge.\nThe current Long Term Simulator Service Plan is with existing providers Kongsberg.",
