Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Edinburgh as the primary buying organisation, seeking suppliers for the "EC0745 fMRI equipment SINAPSE" project. This initiative is situated in the education sector and focuses on the supply and installation of fMRI equipment for MRI centres within a consortium of Scottish universities, including the University of Aberdeen, University of Dundee, and University of Glasgow. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 23rd December 2016, leading into the award stage following that date.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment and technology, particularly those with experience in fMRI-compatible products. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with stringent selection criteria, including technical qualifications and relevant insurance coverage, would be well-suited to compete. The involvement of multiple universities within the consortium further highlights the potential for collaborative projects and ongoing engagement in the education sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

EC0745 fMRI equipment SINAPSE

Notice Description

Supply and installation of fMRI equipment in the MRI centres involved in SINAPSE, a consortium of Scottish universities aiming to create a strong dynamic network for a shared environment for strategic research development in brain imaging (http://www.sinapse.ac.uk/). Institutions include University of Edinburgh, University of Aberdeen, University of Glasgow and University of Dundee. Bidders must self-certify their adherence to selection and exclusion criteria via the ESPD (Scotland) on PCS-T. Suppliers may be required to submit Means of Proof at a later stage.

Lot Information

MRI Compatible Video Projectors

The video projector must have a shielding mechanism from the magnetic field up to 7 Tesla, have a resolution of at least 1920(H) by 1080(V) pixels and a frame rate of at least 60Hz for colour images. A screen to project the visual information must also be provided, the resolution of which shall be considered. The projector should be able to project through the waveguide (Projection horizontal screen size 60cm, Projection screen distance up to 474cm). The interfacing capabilities between the stimulation PC and the video projector are of primary importance. The device must not be software specific, i.e. any stimulation software able to send information. The capacity to interface with other (video or audio) devices other than the ones of the supplier shall also be considered. It must be specified how synchronization between the video card and the display is achieved (for instance, a buffer is used to achieve an exact timing on screen corresponding to N ms after the PC send the information).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 months extension option

MRI Compatible Screen

The display must be a large screen (32 inches) with a resolution of 1920(H) by 1080(V) pixels and a refresh rate of at least 60Hz. The interfacing capabilities between the stimulation PC and the screen are of primary importance, in particular it must be specified how synchronization between the video card and the display is achieved (or if for instance there is a buffer to ensure a fixed delay).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 months extension option

Eye Tracker

The eye tracker must be MRI compatible, up to 7 Tesla. It must have an acquisition rate of at least 60 Hz, have an easy interface with other fMRI related equipment. Importantly, training in setting up and acquire the data is also required at the installation.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 months extension option

Eye Glasses

Eye glasses must be MRI compatible, up to 7 Tesla, and provide a range of optical corrections.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 months extension option

Goggles with/without Eye Tracker

Goggles must have a resolution of at least 1920(H) x 1080(V) pixels and a refresh rate of at least 60Hz. They must have a built in diopter correction system. The interfacing capabilities between the stimulation PC and the googles are of primary importance, in particular it must be specified how synchronization between the video card and the display is achieved (or if for instance there is a buffer to ensure a fixed delay).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 months extension option

Earphones

The system must allow bi-directional communication and earphones must be using electrodynamic or electrostatic technology. They must be MRI compatible, up to 7 Tesla. The interfacing capabilities between the stimulation PC and the earphones are of primary importance. The device must not be software specific, i.e. any stimulation software able to send information. It must be specified how synchronization between the audio card and the earphone is achieved (what is the delay between the audio card and the stimulus delivery).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 month extension option

Head Phones

The system must allow bi-directional communication and earphones must be using electrodynamic or electrostatic technology. An important factor to specify is the thickness, with a maximum of 26mm. Detail of the frequency range and responses is requested and will be taken into consideration. The interfacing capabilities between the stimulation PC and the earphones are also of importance. The device must not be software specific, i.e. any stimulation software able to send information. It must be specified how synchronization between the audio card and the earphone is achieved (what is the delay between the audio card and the stimulus delivery).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 month extension option

Response Pads

Response devices must be MRI compatible up to 7 Tesla. The device must not be software specific, i.e. any software must be able to read information from the device. The amount of pressure to apply to trigger a response must be specified. The lot must be composed of two sets of - The 1st set must include 2 devices with 1 or 2 buttons only. - The 2nd is composed of a single response device, which must have a least 4 buttons.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 12 month extension option

MRI/PC synchronization device

The proposed device must interface easily with the scanner (electrical and optical input) and the PC use for stimulation (serial and USB).. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
