## Summary

The University of Sheffield is conducting a tender process for the procurement of a 3D optical profiler system, designated as tender ID 1809/JN. This system is intended to enhance the capabilities of the Sir Henry Royce Institute in measuring the surface profiles of corroded materials, with a contract value of £310,000. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, this procurement is classified under the CPV code 38000000 for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment (excluding glasses). The tender was published on 24 October 2017, with a submission deadline of 21 November 2017. The awarded contract, which amounts to £330,772, is currently active and spans from 19 December 2017 to 12 January 2018, following an open procurement method above the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the optical and laboratory equipment sector, particularly those specialising in precision measurement technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing 3D optical profiling systems and related technologies will find this tender particularly relevant. Additionally, companies capable of providing innovative solutions for corrosion measurement in various materials may also benefit from this procurement, allowing them to expand their market presence and engage with a prominent institution like the University of Sheffield.

## Notice

A 3D optical profiler system, capable of measuring the surface profile of corroded materials with excellent vertical resolution, is required to enhance our capability as a user facility within the Sir Henry Royce Institute. Imaged features include grain boundaries of ceramic oxides and metals, and height difference between masked areas of minerals and glass materials. A key requirement is the capacity to measure corrosion of a range of materials in-situ, within a wet cell or similar capability.
