two.2.4) Description of the procurement
ARU are looking for a supplier to provide digital devices to students through a fund allocation scheme via an online shop.ARU operates a scheme through which funds are awarded to students who meet specified criteria. These funds enable them to purchase items to support their studies. Students will apply to and be awarded by a team within Student and Library Services at ARU.Funds will be allocated to the student to spend with the supplier. The funds must only be spent on specific items which must be agreed with ARU before any students can make purchases. The funds are primarily for laptop/notebook devices but the supplier must also be able to provide peripherals such as printers or the provision of data, should these be required. Students must not be able to use the funds to pay for any items not approved by ARU in advance. Students must be able to use funds to pay for any delivery charges for approved items.Tablets, chrome books and similar are not appropriate devices for this scheme as they do not meet our minimum technical specifications for learning.The supplier must provide an online store through which purchases can be made, which meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. The supplier must offer a range of devices meeting at least the minimum technical specifications set out by ARU on our website at https://aru.ac.uk/coronavirus/studying-at-university/how-we-support-your-learning/online-learning-technical-requirements.
