## Summary

The procurement process titled "GB-Harwell: High Speed Video Facility" is being conducted by UK Research & Innovation, located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford, UK. This opportunity falls under the industry category of "Television and radio receivers, and sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus." Currently in the tender stage, the procurement method is an open procedure with a maximum contract value of £180,000. The deadline for bid submissions is set for 8 January 2021, and the contract is anticipated to commence on 1 February 2021, concluding on 31 March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in high-speed video technology and related equipment. Companies capable of providing high-speed cameras, digital image correlation software, and associated accessories will find this contract particularly suitable. Engaging in this procurement could enhance their business footprint within the space hardware testing sector, enabling growth through collaboration with established research bodies and innovation hubs.

## Notice

The Dynamics group of RAL Space carries out vibration and shock tests on space hardware for a range of industry and internal customers. For tests within the National Satellite Test Facility RAL Space will need to provide high speed video recording capability to monitor satellite deployment and separation systems and there is a requirement to view shock test on components. For some test items there is a need to provide non-contact deflection measurement during tests and this capability will also be used to measure vibrations in test equipment during commissioning processes. This leads to a requirement for two cameras to input data to a digital image correlation software package. To provide these capabilities there is a requirement for two identical high speed cameras with relevant control and processing routines, software to carry out digital image correlation measurement and necessary supporting accessories such as lights and stands. The bid should be for the complete package including two video cameras, DIC software and accessories for calibration, lighting and stands. The maximum value of the opportunity is PS180,000.00 exclusive of VAT. Responses over this value will be deemed non-compliant and will not be considered further. The contracting authority shall utilise the Delta eSourcing Procurement Tool available at the link provided to conduct this procurement.
