This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for CT scanners, and is located in Andover, South East England. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline set for submission on 27th March 2017. The procurement is conducted through an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit their proposals.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the medical equipment supply sector, particularly those specialising in imaging technologies and diagnostic equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the requirement for innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of bone imaging. Companies capable of providing advanced CT scanner technologies and related services could position themselves favourably in this competitive procurement process.

## Notice

he Authority's WGCC physiological research programme has a requirement to understand the propensity of women to stress fractures and impaired bone health through occupational exposure. Bone is a complex tissue, and appropriate assessment of its strength requires measurement of architecture and porosity of bone tissue at the microscopic level, differentiating between different types (spongy and dense) of bone at clinically relevant sites (i.e. tibia or shin bone). Therefore, there is a requirement for a solution that provides appropriate bone imaging capability in accordance with the detailed requirements below.
