## Summary

Leeds Beckett University is initiating a procurement process for the project titled "RFL TaCKLE Mouthguards," which falls under the sports goods and equipment industry category. This open tender process aims to procure instrumented mouthguards to support a research project quantifying head acceleration events in rugby league players over a three-year period. The tender period is set to close on 1st March 2022, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2022 and run until 31st March 2023. Deliveries are to be made in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, with a total estimated value of £250,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in sporting equipment and technology, particularly those capable of providing advanced kinematic data capture devices. Companies with expertise in manufacturing athletic safety equipment, especially those offering innovative solutions that ensure reliability in data collection during training and matches, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with this opportunity could enable growth and expand market presence within the sports industry, particularly in collaboration with prominent organisations like Leeds Beckett University and the Rugby Football League.

## Notice

Leeds Beckett University has secured a research contract with the Rugby Football League, and Super League to undertake the TaCKLE (Tackle and Contact Kinematic, Load and Exposure) project. The TaCKLE project will quantify the head acceleration events (HAEs) and characteristics of rugby league players, from all areas of rugby league, for up to a three-year period. Teams will be primarily based in England, with some Super League teams based in France, and potentially other locations based on promotion and relegation. To undertake the TaCKLE project, Leeds Beckett University will procure instrumented mouthguards (iMGs). These devices need to provide valid and reliable kinematic data from HAEs collected during training and matches.
