Procurement Information

the use of MatLab in research across the University is deeply embedded in on-going projects. Many of these projects are 4 years and beyond and rely on Matlab in established processes, modelling and analysing data. There is no one product, which replaces the functionality of MatLab when combined with its toolkits. The cost of time and effort to replace the use of Matlab with multiple products is incalculable.
