Notice Title

VEAT Notice for Mobile EEG

Notice Description

The University of Edinburgh is intending to award a contract without prior publication for a mobile EEG system to Ant Neuro UK due to competition being absent for technical reasons.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Edinburgh is intending to award a contract without prior publication for a mobile EEG system to Ant Neuro UK due to competition being absent for technical reasons. 1. High-Density EEG Capability (128 Channels Minimum) * Minimum of 128 recording channels * Uniform high-density scalp coverage * Research-grade signal quality suitable for: o Spatial filtering o Source localisation o Fine-grained analysis of cortical dynamics * Stable impedance control across all electrodes * Low-noise amplification appropriate for high-resolution modelling 2. Fully Mobile, Research-Grade System for Immersive VR The research design includes naturalistic movement and immersive VR paradigms. The EEG system must therefore be: * Fully mobile and wireless * Lightweight and body-worn (e.g., backpack-mounted amplifier) * Compatible with VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) without interfering with: o Headset fit o Participant comfort o Range of motion * Resistant to motion-induced artefacts * Designed with low-profile electrodes and integrated wiring * Mechanically stable during head and body movement 3. Precise Synchronisation with VR Systems The system must support robust and low-latency synchronisation between EEG data and VR events. Required features include: * Hardware-level synchronisation (e.g., TTL triggers) * Network-based synchronisation (e.g., Lab Streaming Layer - LSL) * Millisecond-level timing precision * Reliable integration with VR software platforms 4. Medical-Grade Certification Given the potential progression of this research toward clinical translation, the EEG system must: * Hold valid medical CE certification * Comply with applicable medical device regulatory standards * Be suitable for future clinical research use without requiring hardware replacement

Procurement Information

The University of Edinburgh is awarding this contract without prior publication due to a lack of competition, as only one supplier can meet the specifications described in this notice.
