The contract involves building and delivering six fully functional brain training games to support cognitive health research projects. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline set for May 30, 2024. The contract period is anticipated to start on July 1, 2024, and end on June 30, 2028. The location for service delivery is in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category of medical software development. This tender from the University of Exeter offers a growth opportunity for businesses specializing in medical software development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. The estimated contract value is GBP 300,000, with potential future tests to be included. Businesses well-versed in developing clinical, distraction-free visual design using simple icons and accessibility-compliant colour schemes would be suited to compete in this open procedure tender. ## Notice The PROTECT Research Team at the University of Exeter has a requirement to build and deliver six brain training games for use in the PROTECT research portfolio. The team requires games that are fully functional, documented and owned by the University as part of its strategy to strengthen the digital infrastructure that supports its research ambitions. The team manages a portfolio of research grants in the cognitive health space, within which remote cognitive testing and brain training is a key element. With major incoming projects there is a need to ensure full ownership and oversight of the brain training games, and to ensure they are built to support unit testing and full computer systems validation compliance. The portfolio includes an NIHR i4i-funded project which will work towards UKCA-marking of a medical device, and so we are seeking a provider that can ensure the tests are fully documented in line with the requirements for this regulatory approval process. The supplier would be required to develop and deliver six brain training games which will be integrated into the PROTECT assessment battery to support the research portfolio. The games will follow the well-established paradigm for brain training games and code that has been used in past research on these games; for example; the START and Beacon trial. The games should employ a clean, clinical, distraction-free visual design using simple icons and accessibility-compliant colour schemes on a white background. They should be delivered with full unit tests and UI tests and follow the full technical specification set out in the tender documents. The indicative contract value is an estimate of the 6 tests and the potential to include 6 future tests within the term of any subsequent contract - more information is provided in the Invitation to Tender document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b172d23a-bd5e-4a9f-91b7-3df7c9212766 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 30 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2024 - 30 Jun 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EXETER | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX4 4QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Duryard and St James | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212180 - Medical software development services ## Release History - 1 May 2024 at 12:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b172d23a-bd5e-4a9f-91b7-3df7c9212766 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b172d23a-bd5e-4a9f-91b7-3df7c9212766 1st May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=81248&B=EXETER Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/53042 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.exeter.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
