## Summary

Lancaster University recently awarded a contract for the supply, delivery, and installation of a NIRS Neuroimaging System designed for hyperscanning up to four participants simultaneously. The system, valued at £289,850.89, is to be mobile and suitable for use in naturalistic environments, including fitting children from age six. This procurement falls under the industry category 'Installation services of laboratory equipment' and is located at Lancaster University, postcode LA1 4YW, England. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, and the tender stage concluded on 24 October 2024, with the contract period running from 11 November 2024 to 11 November 2025.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced neuroimaging technologies and laboratory equipment installation services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the nature of the requirements and the bespoke child-centred auditory neuroscience lab setup. Engaging with this contract could allow businesses to showcase their expertise in high-tech, innovative neuroimaging solutions and expand their presence in the academic and research sectors.
