## Summary

The University of Southampton is procuring two monochromatic high-speed cameras as part of their Structures 2025 Strategic Equipment Grant funded by EPSRC. This tender, classified under speed camera equipment, is currently in the Tender stage and is set to close on 15th January 2020. The cameras, designed for advanced testing of large structures, will be delivered to the University located in Southampton, South East England. The estimated contract value is £80,000, with the minimum value being £70,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in high-speed imaging and camera technology, particularly those that can meet the specified advanced imaging capabilities. Suppliers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the technology sector, could find significant potential in this procurement, given the growing demand for advanced testing equipment within engineering and structural testing industries. Interested businesses must register on the University’s electronic tendering platform, In-Tend, to participate in this process.

## Notice

The purchase of the equipment is part of the Structures 2025 Strategic Equipment Grant funded by EPSRC (EP/R008787/1), which will be housed in the LSTL in N|I|L. LSTL comprises a 30 m x 15 m strong floor with an installed hydraulic ring main system capable of delivering 1000 litres/min of hydraulic power at 280 bar that is purposefully built for multi-axial testing of large components and structures. Moreover, the new LSTL has been purpose-built to enable advanced testing utilising data-rich imaging techniques over multiple length scales. This procurement covers the purchase of two high speed cameras with a capability of 10,000 fps at 1 MPix for imaging tests on large structures. The high-speed cameras will be used to derive displacement and strain measurements through image post-processing procedures such as DIC, grid methods and point tracking. The offered Solutions must be in line with the vision of both the N|I|L and the Structures 2025 project as described above.
