    Brief

    The University of Plymouth seeks to upgrade its existing Wärtsilä Voyage Oy maritime simulation facility, specifically upgrading the Navi-Trainer Professional simulation environment from version 5.40 to version 6. This upgrade ensures alignment with current maritime training standards and delivers enhanced simulation capabilities for maritime education and professional training. The procurement includes a three-year Smart Support Agreement (1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029) providing comprehensive technical support and maintenance services. Support services encompass 24/7 online technical support, priority assistance, knowledge base access, remote software monitoring, software updates, annual preventative maintenance visits, training support, guaranteed response times and future software upgrades. This upgrade maximises the value of the University's existing Wärtsilä infrastructure, extends equipment operational life, maintains compliance with evolving maritime training requirements, and supports continued delivery of high-quality maritime education. Funding is provided through the Office for Students Defence related skills programme. Suppliers should note the requirement for expertise in Wärtsilä Navi-Trainer Professional systems, software upgrade delivery, maritime training compliance, and comprehensive support service delivery.
