## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is seeking suppliers for the design, supply, and delivery of a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system to enhance their capability in mapping displacements and strains on component surfaces. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with the tender period closing on December 15, 2020. The contract, valued at approximately £100,000, commenced on January 7, 2021, and concluded on March 31, 2021. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, ensuring accessibility to qualified suppliers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the precision equipment and optical technology sectors. Companies that specialise in high-tech imaging systems or those capable of providing advanced testing equipment would be particularly well-suited to compete. The emphasis on a motorised and fully integrated DIC system suggests a need for innovative solutions, thus creating potential avenues for growth and collaboration for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in related industries.

## Notice

UKAEA Yorkshire require a multi-scale digital image correlation (DIC) system to map ex-situ displacements and strains on the surface of a medium-sized component. The DIC system should be capable of motorised and repeatable positioning of cameras, be simple and quick to calibrate with fully integrated hardware and software.
