## Summary

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation involves the acquisition of a High Speed Video Facility, specifically targeting the goods sector within the telecommunications industry. The tender period closed on 5th February 2021, with the contract now awarded following a completed assessment on the bids submitted. The awarded contract, valued at £133,500 (exclusive of VAT), includes the provision of two high-speed cameras along with software and necessary accessories for vibration tests at the National Satellite Test Facility in Harwell, Oxford, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in technology and equipment related to high-speed imaging and digital image correlation. Businesses that offer sophisticated video recording equipment and related software solutions would be well-positioned to benefit from future similar contracts. With a focus on quality and compliance with specific requirements set by the buyer, potential suppliers should ensure they are capable of delivering complete packages that meet these needs to leverage growth within the public procurement space.

## Notice

The Dynamics group of RAL Space carries out vibration and shock tests on space hardware for a range of industry and internal customers. For tests within the National Satellite Test Facility RAL Space will need to provide high speed video recording capability to monitor satellite deployment and separation systems and there is a requirement to view shock test on components. For some test items there is a need to provide non-contact deflection measurement during tests and this capability will also be used to measure vibrations in test equipment during commissioning processes. This leads to a requirement for two cameras to input data to a digital image correlation software package. To provide these capabilities there is a requirement for two identical high speed cameras with relevant control and processing routines, software to carry out digital image correlation measurement and necessary supporting accessories such as lights and stands. The bid should be for the complete package including two video cameras, DIC software and accessories for calibration, lighting and stands. The maximum value of the opportunity is PS180,000.00 exclusive of VAT. Responses over this value will be deemed non-compliant and will not be considered further. The contracting authority shall utilise the Delta eSourcing Procurement Tool available at the link provided to conduct this procurement.
