## Summary

The University of Edinburgh conducted a procurement process to acquire "High Speed Lasers and Accessories" as part of a research study aimed at measuring flow field dynamics and chemical interactions. This open tender process is now complete, with the associated contract awarded to Photonic Solutions Ltd for a total value of £390,000, signed on 30th June 2017. The procurement was classified under the goods category and involved a single bid from the awarded supplier. The project relates to the educational sector and is situated in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech measurement equipment and solutions, particularly in fluid dynamics and laser technology. Companies focused on particle image velocimetry, laser induced fluorescence, and other quantitative measurement techniques would be well-positioned to benefit from similar future contracts, especially those that support research and development in industrial applications.

## Notice

As part of that study we will need to measure simultaneously flow field dynamics and scalars (e.g. mixing, reaction, product evolution, etc.) in a non-intrusive manner in order to study interactions between mixing flow and chemistry. To provide such quantitative measurements, various forms of particle image velocimetry (PIV), laser induced fluorescence (LIF), and phosphor thermometry are required. The various forms of PIV include (a) planar PIV, (b) stereoscopic PIV, and (c) tomographic PIV
