## Summary

The University of Sheffield has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of Stereo Ultra High-Speed cameras for Digital Image Correlation. This falls under the industry category of Speed Camera Equipment (CPV: 34971000) and took place within the region of UKE32, specifically at the university's Western Bank campus in Sheffield. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, and the tender stage concluded with an award dated 21 February 2025. The key requirement was for two ultra-high-speed cameras to aid in imaging structural deformations in various experimental settings, with a contract value amounting to GBP 332,989. The successful bid was awarded to Dantec Dynamics Ltd.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-speed imaging technology and digital image correlation software. Companies capable of providing advanced camera equipment designed to capture high-frequency events can leverage this procurement to establish a foothold in university-based experimental and research settings. SMEs like Dantec Dynamics Ltd., which emerged as the awarded supplier, demonstrate that small and medium-sized enterprises with innovative solutions can successfully compete and secure contracts in this specialised sector. This contract allows such firms to showcase their technological capabilities and potentially secure future projects within academic institutions.

## Notice

Imaging of structural deformation from events like blast, ballistic impact or high-frequency transducers, requires incredibly high framing rates. This will require two ultra-high-speed cameras, which will be housed outside a protective blast chamber and in close proximity to safe structural experiments. These images will be processed through Digital Image Correlation (DIC) software
