## Summary

The University of Nottingham, located in Nottingham, UK, has completed a procurement process involving the acquisition of National Instrument USB Data Acquisition Devices. This procurement falls under the category of goods and carries a total value of £40,000. The process, which was initiated as a direct procurement through a single tender action, concluded on 16 March 2022, with the awarded contract published on 28 June 2022. The devices are intended to be compatible with existing educational technology used within the School of Physics & Astronomy.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in electronic components or educational technology. Suppliers capable of providing high-quality USB interfaces that meet the specifications of the existing systems would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. Engaging in such opportunities could facilitate business growth through expanded contracts with educational institutions and further development of related technology solutions.

## Notice

The School of Physics & Astronomy already owns a large number of National Instrument Data Acquisition devices which are used in the undergraduate teaching laboratories. Over a number of years a substantial body of computer code has been written in the School to control these devices. The new devices must be NI to maintain compatibility with the existing code.
