## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is seeking to enhance its capabilities with the procurement of two high-speed imaging cameras as specified in the tender titled "Awarded ITT - High Speed Camera x2". This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, specifically for testing applications in London, United Kingdom. The tender process utilised the open procedure, and bids were accepted until 28th October 2021. The awarded contract, effective from 22nd November 2021 for a year, amounts to £109,875 and has been successfully awarded to Photron Europe Ltd.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of laboratory equipment, particularly SMEs specialising in high-speed imaging technologies. Companies offering compatible hardware and services to the National Physical Laboratory and similar institutes will benefit from this procurement process. The focus on producing high-performance imaging solutions creates a niche for innovative companies to expand their market presence and engage with public sector contracts.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory's requirement is for two high-speed imaging cameras, of the same specification, that can be used in conjunction with a high-speed mechanical test frame to enable the measurement of full-field strain distributions on test coupons at speeds of up to 20 m/s. The cameras must be compatible with and registered on LaVision(r) digital image correlation (DIC) systems. Two cameras are required to image the front and side of coupons in order for engineering strain to be calculated. The cameras will also be used for quasi-static test failure analysis. This capability will fulfil NPL's core role as an National Measurement Institute (NMI) as it will enable a more complete understanding of material rate dependent behaviour, thereby ensuring that NPL can deliver highest point of reference physical material property data to industry, as well as increasing traceability of measurements and enabling digitalisation of test.
