## Summary

The University of Leeds has recently awarded a contract for the procurement of a Distributed Geophysical Sensing System as part of their tender titled "2021 146." This initiative falls under the geological and geophysical instruments sector and is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The award was completed on 9th June 2021, and the contracted services will begin on 30th June 2021, lasting until 29th June 2023. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, specifically a negotiated procedure, with a total contract value of £266,296.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the geophysical and geological instruments sector, particularly those that specialise in fibre optic technology for subsurface applications. Companies that provide advanced sensing systems for monitoring and analysis in environments such as geothermal prospects or volcanic systems would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly advantageous, as the buying organisation is open to engaging with them in such innovative projects.

## Notice

NOTICE OF THE AWARD OF A TENDER: The School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds (UoL) is seeking tenders for a fibre optic distributed sensing system capable of measuring acoustic responses, temperature and strain. The system will be used by members of the school and their external research collaborators for diverse subsurface applications, including (but not limited to) monitoring the geophysical properties of geothermal prospects, subsurface infrastructure, volcanic systems and ice masses.
