## Summary

The procurement process involves the University of Sheffield, seeking to acquire Stereo Ultra High-Speed cameras for Digital Image Correlation. Classified under the industry category of Speed Camera Equipment and Cameras, this tender relates to the imaging of structural deformation from high-speed events. The equipment will be located in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The procurement method was an open procedure above the threshold, with an initial notice published on 21 October 2024. The tender closed on 20 November 2024, with a contract period from 1 February 2025 to 30 April 2025. The University of Sheffield has awarded the contract to Dantec Dynamics Ltd for a value of £332,989, starting on 24 February 2025 and ending on 4 April 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in high-speed imaging equipment, particularly those with capabilities in ultra-high-speed cameras and Digital Image Correlation software. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable for this project, making it an excellent growth opportunity for companies within these sectors. Engaging in such high-profile projects with a reputable institution like the University of Sheffield can help enhance business credibility and expand market reach.

## Notice

Imaging of structural deformation from events like blast, ballistic impact or high-frequency transducers, requires incredibly high framing rates. This will require two ultra-high-speed cameras, which will be housed outside a protective blast chamber and in close proximity to safe structural experiments. These images will be processed through Digital Image Correlation (DIC) software.
