## Description

The I-Construct project helps small and medium businesses \(SMEs\) in the construction and built environment sector embrace innovation and access new business opportunities\. It currently offers three types of support - grant funding, mentoring and access to a supply chain development network - with the intention of supporting SMEs involved in construction and its supply chain to innovate and grow\. The I-Construct network will bring the construction industry together and help SMEs join local supply chains, access new business opportunities, find other industry professionals and identify potential partners\. From November 2021, network members will also benefit from the new I-Construct Innovation Hub, which is opening in Braintree, Essex and is owned by Braintree District Council\. The space will be used for networking events, product launches and talks by experts on relevant topics for the I-Construct project as well as being used as a conference and meetings centre, run by Braintree District Council\. I-Construct is led by the Haven Gateway Partnership with support from its delivery partners\. For more information on the project, please visit our website www\.i-construct\.org\.uk Requirement: IT and AV Equipment for the Innovation Hub We require proposals for the provision of IT and AV equipment for the Innovation Hub\. This should complement the design of the building and support the digitalisation and innovation strands that run through the project and enable businesses using the Hub to be able to embrace technology that supports both the construction sector and the wider supply chain to improve their productivity\.
