## Summary

The University of St Andrews has completed the procurement process, awarding the contract for a rotating table and control for fluid mechanics experiments to Heinrich Georg UK Ltd. This public procurement falls under the category of goods within the education sector. The rotating table will be utilised in the Scottish Oceans Institute's Aquarium facility in Guardbridge, UKM72. The process followed an open procedure, and the contract, valued at £122,000, was signed on 16th December 2024. This procurement stage is now at the Award phase, having concluded the tender stage which was active until 13th November 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in precision engineering and scientific equipment, particularly those with expertise in fluid mechanics and laboratory installations. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide turn-key solutions, including the manufacture, installation, and commissioning of intricate machinery like rotating tables and human-machine interfaces (HMI), would be well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes. Such contracts not only provide financial growth but also enhance business credentials in the education and research sectors.

## Notice

The requirement is for a rotating table and a control unit (Human Machine Interface HMI) to carry-out fluid mechanics experiments in rotation. The rotating table will be used to rotate meter-scale water tanks and visualisation equipment at constant speed until measurements have been taken. The rotating table will be installed in the Aquarium facility of the Scottish Oceans Institute (KY16 8LB). We require a turn-key solution including the rotary table, an HMI unit to control the rotating table from a separate room, installation and commissioning.
