Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured movement-analysis equipment for delivery in the Salford area. The requirement covers the supply, installation and commissioning of motion and video capture equipment, force plates, an instrumented treadmill, and associated software, hardware and accessories. This is specialist analysis apparatus intended to provide an integrated equipment and software setup for movement analysis. The procurement is for goods, with the supplier also responsible for installing and commissioning the equipment. The single requirement brings the equipment and related components together rather than separating them into distinct lots. It is relevant to suppliers able to provide the specified motion-capture and measurement technology as a coordinated package, including the technical support needed to install and commission it at the university.

The procurement has been awarded to Qualisys AB following an open procedure. The award is recorded as pending, with the award decision dated 24 September 2026; contract signature was scheduled for 9 October 2026. The awarded value is £423,464.27 excluding VAT (£508,157.12 including VAT). The award contract period is 12 October 2026 to 12 October 2027. The original estimated value was £450,000 excluding VAT (£540,000 including VAT), and the tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026. Three bids were received. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 70% and commercial price at 30%. The procurement was a single lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers who did not win, the award shows that the University of Salford buys integrated movement-analysis systems combining motion and video capture, force plates, an instrumented treadmill, and associated software, hardware and accessories. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply the equipment as a compatible package and demonstrate the capability to install and commission it, not simply sell individual components. The award to Qualisys AB shows that a specialist supplier was selected, while the three bids indicate competition for the requirement. The lot was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so suppliers of specialist equipment need not be large organisations to be relevant. Technical quality carried substantially more evaluation weight than price, making strong technical performance and a clear solution important alongside competitive commercial terms.
