## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, initiated a procurement process to acquire equipment designed to measure high-speed press deformation and displacement vectors. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within pressure-measuring equipment (CPV code 38423000). This process was handled through a limited procurement method, bypassing the usual call for competition due to specific regulatory allowances. The contract, valued at £67,000, was signed on 12th January 2021, with GOM UK Ltd, a large supplier based in Coventry, awarded as the supplier. Key dates include the publication on 12th January 2021 and contract signing on the same date, indicating a swift conclusion to the procurement process.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing high-precision measuring equipment, particularly those specialising in deformation and displacement vectors of high-speed presses. The University of Strathclyde's need for such advanced equipment reflects the growing demand for precision in industrial manufacturing processes. Companies with patented dynamic measurement systems will find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. This procurement is particularly relevant for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the education and public sector markets, offering advanced technological solutions to leading universities and research institutions.
