## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract to LaVision UK Ltd. for the procurement of a Multi-Purpose Imaging Platform for Volumetric Velocity Measurements. This procurement process was completed under a limited procurement method without prior publication, aiming to undertake underwater volumetric measurements in specific environments requiring non-laser based systems. The contract, valued at £117,881 GBP, was signed on 28th March 2023.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in supplying advanced imaging systems designed for underwater volumetric measurements. Companies offering innovative solutions in time-resolved particle tracking velocimetry, self-calibrating velocimeters, and white/unharmful illumination systems suitable for water environments can benefit from participating in similar tenders within the goods category. The University of Edinburgh seeks suppliers capable of meeting specific technical requirements for volumetric velocity measurements in underwater settings.

## Notice

Integrated multi-camera system for use under water, for volumetric PTV (Shake-the-Box) and Tomographic PIV measurements.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Purchase of a multi-camera velocimeter, an LED-based illumination system, and a sophisticated state-of-the-art software suite for imaging processing.

### Procurement Information
