This project falls within the industry category of research, testing, and scientific technical simulators and has a total contract value of £2,800,000. The tender period concluded on 22nd May 2017, with the contract scheduled to commence on 5th June 2017 and run until 1st July 2019. The procurement was conducted through an unspecified method and was open to the supply of goods, specifically targeting providers capable of delivering sophisticated simulation technology.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the technology and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in virtual reality, simulation equipment, and motion technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract particularly accessible, as the buying organisation is receptive to bids from a diverse range of suppliers. Companies with experience in delivering high-tech solutions and innovative engineering projects would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

Supply and delivery of an electrically driven motion simulator capable of moving a rigid platform with accelerations ranging from below the level of human vibration perception to the level of significant discomfort. The platform surface will contain force plates for recording occupant ground reaction forces and equipped with optical and inertial motion capture systems and audio/video recording. A Virtual Reality (VR) solution will be supplied allowing multiple participants to simultaneously experience a rendered environment in 1:1 scale. The VR system will connect with the motion platform and multi-user tracking system for both data acquisition and correct rendering perspective of each user.
