## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is seeking tenders for the design, supply, and delivery of a laser scanning system tailored for mapping 3D positional point clouds on medium-sized components. This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, with a specific focus on lasers. The tender is currently in the active stage and will remain open until the deadline of 23 December 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 13 January 2021 and continue until 30 April 2021, with a total budget of £80,000.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in the manufacturing or technological development of precision equipment and software integration. Companies that specialise in optical devices, laser technology, or related engineering sectors would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, which could foster growth and innovation in the industry amidst increasing competition for cutting-edge technologies.

## 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.
