## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, seeking tenders for the supply of electrodes, specifically designed for high-density electrophysiological recording from the brain and spinal cord. The procurement falls under the goods category within the electrodes industry and was conducted using an open procedure. It is noteworthy that the tender period closed on 23rd November 2021, while the contract was awarded on 8th December 2021. The contract commenced on 20th December 2021 and is set to conclude by 31st July 2022. The delivery is required within the United Kingdom, with a total estimated value of £230,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-technology medical equipment and electronic components, particularly those who can provide customised probes with integrated active electronics. Companies manufacturing or supplying related hardware would also be well-positioned to compete in this procurement. As the sector is primarily focused on advanced medical applications, businesses with expertise in biomedical engineering and a solid understanding of electrophysiological technologies will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities for growth.

## Notice

The requirement is for high density probes, permitting electrophysiological recording from the brain and spinal cord. The probes should contain active electronics, permitting data from around 1000 recording contacts to be transmitted out of the probe along a much reduced number of wires. The probes need to be mounted in two ways, to be suitable for penetration into superficial and deep structures. Finally, suitable hardware is required to interface to the probes, and allow data to be captured to a personal computer for offline analysis.
