This tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on cameras, with a total estimated value of £110,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, which allows for broader participation. The tender period ended on 19th October 2020, while the contract period is set to commence on 30th November 2020 and conclude by 31st March 2021. Delivery is required in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in optical and imaging technologies, particularly those with experience in high-performance imaging systems. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as their agility and innovation are valuable in this highly technical field. Competing businesses should ensure they can meet the stringent requirements for synchronisation and performance outlined by the UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD, potentially leading to further collaborations and growth in the expansive sector of academic research and development. ## Notice The Department of Civil Engineering is a world leader in the area of Blast and Ballistic effects research. Its work at the Buxton labs range from large calibre ballistics (internal and external) to full-scale blast effects. Our lab provides world leading industrial and fundamental research and its research informs excellence in teaching in the area of protection systems. Imaging of explosive fireballs and resulting structural events requires the highest possible frame rates. To allow for a precise synchronisation with ultra-high speed video (UHSV) cameras (>1Mfps) a low integration time is also required. The MWIR camera will be housed on the same optical axis as one of the UHSV cameras, enabling a single frame high-resolution image per test to be captured, with the UHSV footage providing context for interpreting the frame. The synchronisation of the MWIR camera with the other optical diagnostics is of very high importance.
