UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham bought motion capture equipment under the requirement titled “Motion Capture Equipment Q-UKM10397”. The purchase is categorised as goods and is associated with CPV code 34971000, described in the procurement data as speed camera equipment. The equipment was intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the University of Birmingham, based in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The requirement relates to the university’s SSA process and concerns the supply of equipment rather than construction, consultancy or an ongoing service. Businesses relevant to this requirement are manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of motion capture or comparable sensing and imaging equipment for university or research use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of Birmingham used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Qualisys AB was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 20 May 2024 and ran from 21 May 2024 to 31 July 2024. Its value was £53,960 excluding VAT, or £64,752 including VAT. The award date is not stated separately. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive bids, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier and requirement but does not set out a comparative scoring basis or competing tenders.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the University of Birmingham for specialist motion capture equipment supplied as a discrete goods purchase. A credible future competitor would need to provide equipment matching the university’s technical and operational requirements, together with the ability to supply and support delivery in the United Kingdom. Qualisys AB, identified as an SME, secured the award, showing that the requirement was accessible to a specialist supplier rather than necessarily only to a large prime contractor. Relevant businesses include motion capture manufacturers, specialist resellers and technology integrators with a reliable product supply chain, experience supporting research or higher-education users, and the capacity to respond through a direct-award procurement route when the requirement is below threshold.
