## Summary

The University of Plymouth has published a tender titled "WP1.3 - High-Resolution Digital Image Correlation Systems for Structural Analysis" for the provision of two high-resolution digital image correlation (DIC) systems. The University is seeking a single-source supplier to meet the needs of specific research projects and generic structural testing across various applications. The procurement method is an Open procedure with a tender period ending on 30th May 2023 and a contract period starting on 19th June 2023 and ending on 31st July 2024.

This tender by the University of Plymouth presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of DIC systems, cameras, and structural products to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement particularly suitable. The University's focus on engineering research and innovative teaching creates a niche market for suppliers aiming to contribute to cutting-edge engineering projects and enhance their reputation in the industry.

## Notice

The University of Plymouth is looking to reinforce its reputation as an innovative centre of excellence for engineering research, teaching and learning. The new Engineering and Design facility (NEDF) being constructed on the western edge of the main Plymouth campus will provide a new home for the specialist laboratories and teaching facilities of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and the School of Art, Design and Architecture. We have a requirement for two high-resolution, digital image correlation (DIC) systems for structural analysis. One DIC system is required to serve the specific needs of a research project, whilst the other DIC system will serve our more generic structural testing and response behaviour analysis needs across many different applications. The two DIC systems need to complement each other and operate using a common software platform. Consequently, we are seeking a single-source supplier for both DIC systems.
