This tender falls under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry category. The tender deadline is set for 21st December 2022, with the contract period starting on 17th January 2023 and ending on 15th January 2025. The University is the buying organisation located in Norwich, East of England, United Kingdom, using an open procedure for the procurement. This tender opportunity can benefit businesses involved in laboratory equipment and research services. Companies specialising in distributed sensing technologies and environmental research are well-suited to compete for this contract. The University of East Anglia's initiative offers a chance for growth and innovation in subsurface monitoring technologies, creating opportunities for businesses to contribute to cutting-edge research projects and potentially hazardous environmental studies. ## Notice Traditional methods of subsurface monitoring are restricted in either time or space. Spot measurements record continuously but lack spatial resolution. Campaign measurements capture high spatial resolution data at a single point in time. Distributed Sensing (DS) is a brand-new technology for environmental research that does not rely upon individual sensors but utilises optical fibre. DS methods will become increasingly used to analyse systems on a new range of scales - the high spatial resolution allows for microscopic-scale studies; the length of cables enables large-scale investigations. The University of East Anglia has acquired funding for a system that includes distributed acoustic sensor (DAS), distributed strain sensor (DSS) and distributed temperature sensor (DTS). DAS to record high-frequency ground motion associated with natural sources such as earthquakes and active sources for exploration, DSS to record slower ground deformation from sources such as tectonic slip, glacial rebound and erosional processes, and DTS to capture temperature profiles and variations in the subsurface. Thus, DiSTANS (Distributed Strain, Temperature and Acoustic seNsing Suite) will contribute to answering many challenging questions related to the subsurface, and their control on the surface environment. Hence, DiSTANS will be deployed in a range of potentially hazardous environments.
