Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bath has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of a versatile ultra-high-speed camera, intended for high-performance imaging applications. Classified under the Cameras industry category, the procurement process was conducted using an open procedure. The contracting process occurred in the Bath and North East Somerset region of the UK, with the tender initially active from 18th February 2025 until the bid opening on 21st March 2025. The subsequent award to Photron Europe LTD was made on 1st June 2025, marking the contract's commencement.
