## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University is seeking to procure a Motion Capture System for its Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, located in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract valued at £195,000. This open procedure tender was published on 25 January 2019, and the delivery period spans from 17 April 2019 until 31 December 2019. The contract is classified under the CPV code for Mechanical therapy units, encompassing areas of research and testing facilities construction and scientific installations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the fields of biomechanics, healthcare technology, and sports science. Companies that specialize in motion capture technology, biomechanics infrastructure, or those involved in the construction of research facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The University aims to utilise this technology to enhance multidisciplinary academic research, thereby creating an opportunity for growth within innovative sectors aiming to improve both sporting and healthcare outcomes.

## Notice

2019/S 018-037855 Sheffield Hallam University is one of the most progressive and innovative universities in the country. It has an annual turnover exceeding PS260 million and employs over 4400 staff. The University has over 30000 students enrolled (including more than 2000 overseas students) across more than six hundred courses. Of these, 24000 are undergraduate students and over 6000 are postgraduates (taught and research). The University is a Higher Education Corporation as defined under the Education Reform Act 1988, and also enjoys exempt charitable status by virtue of that Act. The University includes all wholly owned subsidiaries of the University, including but not limited to SHULaw. The University requires a Motion Capture Analysis System for the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing (HWB) at the University's Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC), which is currently under construction on the site of Sheffield's Olympic Legacy Park. Motion capture systems enable 3D assessment of movement capability and are critical to the description and explanation of human and mechanical movement. Direct applications of the use of motion capture systems range from the measurement of segmental speed and rotation in a golf swing, to changes in segmental sequencing as a result of an exercise intervention for patients with diseases that impair basic movement. Motion capture systems are an essential part of biomechanics infrastructure as they allow the measurement of kinematics. In combination with force plate systems, they allow the inference of joint moments and powers, which are important for assessment of movement in both sporting and healthcare contexts. The motion capture system will benefit the AWRC project by facilitating multi-disciplinary academic expertise from sports and materials engineering, psychology, health and social care and software development. Examples of motion capture applications include investigations of footwear on artificial turf, the biomechanics of turning in athletes and exercise interventions that help improve walking or daily living capabilities in elderly adults. The Motion Capture System is to interface with the AWRC Force Plates (Project reference 1819-45-HWB-SAS)
