The equipment will be used in the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory for various research purposes, with a contract value of £90,000 in GBP. The tender deadline for submissions is on February 27, 2023, while the contract period is scheduled to run from March 10 to March 31, 2023. This opportunity falls under the industry category of Cameras and Traffic monitoring services, with the buying organisation located in Newcastle, England. This tender from Newcastle University presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in supplying advanced tracking systems and technology solutions, particularly those with experience in underwater vehicle navigation and offshore infrastructure monitoring. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly appealing due to the suitability preference towards such entities. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, offering businesses the chance to showcase their expertise in providing motion tracking solutions tailored to the marine and offshore industries, aligning with the University's research objectives and technological requirements. ## Notice With the allocation of funding from EPSRC, Newcastle University would like to purchase a combined Underwater and above water Motion Tracking system. This system has a clear and demonstrable ability to accurately track and measure motions of any moving object or vehicle in 6 degrees of freedom (dof), underwater. The combined Underwater and above water Motion Tracking system will be housed in the School of Engineering's Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory. The objectives of the equipment are summarised as follows: * To accurately track and measure the motion of underwater vehicles in 6 dof in order to validate the control and navigation systems setup in the school's underwater vehicles. * To investigate and visualise the seakeeping of offshore floating or underwater renewable infrastructure as well as offshore risers. This is crucial for the operation and maintenance prediction of those infrastructure as we move towards increasing the presence and use of them in the production of green energy. Marine Offshore & Subsea Technology have an existing above water system using Qualisys Oqus cameras which the underwater system will link to, and therefore any system offered must be compatible with the existing system. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment detailed in ITT document to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
