## Summary

Northumbria University is seeking tenders for the project titled "GB-Newcastle upon Tyne: T21/0058 Computer Input Output Facility," aimed at developing a system to link a computer with real-world devices through the generation of control signals. This procurement falls within the goods sector, specifically concerning minicomputer hardware, and is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. The tender period ends on 3rd February 2022, with the contract scheduled to commence on 21st February 2022 and run until 20th February 2023. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with an estimated contract value of £50,000 and a minimum value of £25,000.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in computer hardware and software integration, particularly in developing systems compatible with platforms like Matlab/Simulink. Companies capable of delivering advanced input/output systems and those with experience in handling multiple input and output channels would be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will be expected to showcase their ability to meet the technical requirements for controlling devices and monitoring signals, which could lead to further contracts and partnerships in the expanding tech and educational sectors.

## Notice

We require a system which can link a computer running software such as Matlab/Simulink to the real world by generating control signals to operate devices such as battery chargers, motors and generators under software control At the same time the system must be able to acquire monitoring signals to import them into the running software environment. Such signals might comprise current, voltage, battery state of charge, machine power output, rpm, and temperature. The input/output system must be able to cope with multiple input and output channels, should operate at the standard 5V level and be capable of seamlessly interfacing with the Matlab/Simulink environment. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
