## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) is seeking to award a contract for software development services, specifically focused on implementing complex ventilation system modelling techniques. This procurement falls under the research laboratory services category and has a total value of £14,400. The tender process was executed through a selective procurement method, with the award dated 27th October 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1st November 2021 and will run until 31st March 2022, with delivery expected at Oxford (OX2 9GG). The tender period closed on 23rd September 2021.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software development, computational fluid dynamics, or simulation modelling to expand their business capabilities. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in advanced programming and environmental modelling would find this tender particularly suitable, potentially leading to ongoing engagements with the DSTL for similar projects in the future.

## Notice

Implement a recirculating boundary condition to (implicitly) represent a building's ventilation system. Implement an extended version of the existing turbulent inflow generator of Xie and Castro (2008) (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10494-008-9151-5) to include temperature fluctuations.
