## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has successfully concluded a tender for the design, supply, and delivery of a laser scanning system specifically for use in Yorkshire. This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a total value of approximately £80,000. The open procurement process featured a tender period that concluded on 23 December 2020, and the contract period spanned from 13 January 2021 to 30 April 2021, indicating a timely execution of the project with an award date of 14 January 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing of precision instruments and optical equipment, particularly those that can provide advanced laser technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in high-precision manufacturing, data collection technologies, and CAD integration would be well-positioned to compete in such procurements. The project's focus on cutting-edge technology suggests that innovative and research-oriented firms could find significant growth potential in similar future tenders.

## Notice

UKAEA Yorkshire require a laser scanning system to map 3D positional point clouds on the surface of a medium-sized component. The laser scanning system should be capable of easy positioning, quick data collection for sub-100 um resolution and sub-10 um accuracy for the whole component, be simple and quick to assess damage by comparing scans before and after some deformation process has taken place, and have fully integrated hardware and software with easy export of point clouds for CAD generation in other software.
