This phase will be split into two parts. A; will consist of finalising a proof of concept and B; to procure, test and debug the proof of concepts from part A. This will end with prototypes of the devices being developed. For testing purposes, it is proposed that an off-the-shelf control application (preferably android based) will be used for testing and verification. There would be a preference for the supplier to have a background in fluid dynamics and dispensing. Additional information: This project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as part of the Innovation Support for Business (ISfB) programme. ## CPV classification Prototyping services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/ad3d1c8e-b3e9-4815-9068-c9f109eb879f) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
