We are seeking proposals to include all hardware, software, installation, delivery and training.

Selection of the system will be based on the most economically advantageous proposal with a 50% weighting for functionality and a 50% weighting for price. The total budget available for this procurement will not exceed £15,000 (not including VAT).
