IT1899F- Multi Supplier Framework Agreement For Teaching Spaces Classroom Digital Fitout and MSTeams Equipment Meeting Room Fitout across UL campus

Requirement to enhance MSTeams collaboration in Meeting/Seminar Rooms for on-campus University Staff. As the campus prepares for a return of both staff and students at the start of the 2021/22 academic year, it is envisaged that the use of Microsoft Teams online meetings will continue but will introduce a new use case that has not been experienced during the pandemic. In a hybrid working model, the use of physical meeting rooms will need to be integrated into Teams online meetings when some attendees are in the physical meeting room on campus and other attendees are working from home.

It is therefore necessary to install equipment in meeting rooms to enable them function in a Teams (or other online meeting platform) meeting. While the primary use case for these meeting rooms is to integrate them with Microsoft Teams, the equipment proposed under both options outlined below will be capable of being used by other online meeting platforms such as Zoom, Webex, Google Meet etc.
