This tender falls under the education sector and is located at the Bay Campus in Swansea, UK. Currently at the Tender stage, the submission period closes on 29 April 2022, with an anticipated award date immediately following. Due to a funding deadline of 31 July 2022, delivery of the system is expected by this date at the Service Yard of the university. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and submissions should be made electronically through the eTenderwales platform. This procurement presents an exciting opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced optical measurement technology, particularly those with experience in non-contact systems capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry and stereo-digital image correlation. Companies that can demonstrate a strong track record in biomedical engineering applications will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the funding constraints and the specific technical requirements outlined, this tender could stimulate significant growth for firms positioned within the specialised measurement and imaging sectors. ## Notice The funding has a tight expenditure deadline (31st July 2022), so we have published this tender before the funding decision. As such, the tender award will be subject to funding award. An FSI non-contact optical measurement system, capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry, or stereo-DIC and stereo-PIV is sought. A 4-camera system will suffice for most applications in mind. A system that can also make use of our existing high-speed camera equipment is highly desirable (2x Photron Nova S6). Delivery will need to be to the Service Yard at Bay Campus, Swansea University, ideally by the 31st July 2022. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The funding has a tight expenditure deadline (31st July 2022), so we have published this tender before the funding decision. As such, the tender award will be subject to funding award. The Department of Biomedical Engineering develops synthetic experimental systems to assess the efficacy of medical devices and implants. Target applications involve studying the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The interaction of the fluid and solid tissue structure is of great importance to understand the mechanics of that system in health and disease. High-fidelity computational modelling frameworks already exist within the Department. This contract hopes to acquire hardware to enable fluid-structure interaction (FSI) measurements to be performed, to help validate such computational models. Expertise and hardware already exist for non-contact optical techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC), particle image velocimetry (PIV) at low speeds and high-frame rates. However, this contract aims to purchase an all-in-one integrated FSI system to couple DIC and PIV - delivering FSI analysis in one platform. An FSI non-contact optical measurement system, capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry, or stereo-DIC and stereo-PIV is sought. A 4-camera system will suffice for most applications in mind. A system that can also make use of our existing high-speed camera equipment is highly desirable (2x Photron Nova S6). Delivery will need to be to the Service Yard at Bay Campus, Swansea University, ideally by the 31st July 2022. A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) non-contact optical measurement system, capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry, or stereo-digital image correlation (DIC) and stereo-particle image velocimetry (PIV). A 4-camera system is envisaged to suffice for this specification. The application area is Biomedical Engineering, so track-record for delivery in this sector is highly desired. The focus of this FSI system is to visualise internal flows but adaptability for internal and external flow measurements is a mandatory requirement. A fixed system for one application will not pass the evaluation. Note: two Photron Nova S6 cameras are already owned by the Department and can be considered usable in the configuration options offered in addition to the standalone system requested. However, a standalone system for FSI or volumetric PIV is the mandatory requirement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=119808 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SWANSEA UNIVERSITY | | Locality | SWANSEA | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA2 8PP | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL43 Swansea | | Local authority | Swansea | | Electoral ward | Sketty | | Westminster constituency | Swansea West | | Delivery location | TLL17 Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot, TLL18 Swansea | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 25 Mar 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=119808 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR393159 Supply of Integrated Non-Contact Optical Measurement System - The funding has a tight expenditure deadline (31st July 2022), so we have published this tender before the funding decision.
