The procurement falls under the industry category of Medical Equipments and specifically involves imaging equipment for medical, dental, and veterinary use along with psychology testing devices. The tender, designated as an open procedure (below threshold), is currently at the planning stage. The deadline for tender submissions is March 24, 2023. The contract period is expected to start from June 30, 2023, to June 29, 2025, with delivery addresses in London, United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity to supply a state-of-the-art fNIRS system presents significant business possibilities, particularly for firms specialising in medical equipment, imaging technology, and psychology devices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly attractive. The system requirements focus on brain tissue measurement, synchronisation with stimulus delivery software, user-friendly interfaces, and data processing tools. Companies providing innovative technological solutions compatible with Microsoft Windows and those offering comprehensive service and parts agreements are well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice PLEASE IGNORE THIS NOTICE and refer to new notice with Ref tender_355569/1182817 published 23rd February, 2023. The Division of Psychology requires a state of the art and flexible fNIRS system to support both teaching and research needs. The Division requires a system that can measure oxy-, deoxy- and total-haemoglobin in human brain tissue. The system must have a minimum sampling rate of 5 Hz, a minimum of 100 channels (with options to increase if required) and be able to synchronise with popular stimulus delivery software (e.g. Psychopy, Psychotoolbox and E-Prime) to ensure precise timing of stimuli presentation and brain responses. The system must be suitable for use in the laboratory spaces already available at Brunel, have options for different sensor configurations (to allow for recording from different regions of the brain). The system must also be supplied with a user-friendly graphical interface (i.e. with little training UG, PG and doctoral researchers would be able to use the system unsupervised), data processing and analysis tools and a function to export data to formats read by other open-source software. A one-year service and parts agreement and technical support package is required, as is initial setup support provided in person. The Division would also require the system software to be compatible with Microsoft windows and future proofed against windows upgrades. It is anticipated that this system will significantly enhance the Brunel psychology research environment, compliment existing research tools (e.g. MRI, eye-tracking) and increase options for collaboration with Brunel and with external colleagues. Additional information: The procurement documents will be available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, from the Brunel e-Sourcing Portal when the opportunity goes live. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87da30bf-677d-45ac-84c2-5e9a9a9aec83 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jun 2023 - 29 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | BRUNEL UNIVERSITY LONDON | | Locality | UXBRIDGE | | Post town | Southall | | Postcode | UB8 3PH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI74 Harrow and Hillingdon | | Local authority | Hillingdon | | Electoral ward | Colham & Cowley | | Westminster constituency | Uxbridge and South Ruislip | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33100000 - Medical equipments - 33110000 - Imaging equipment for medical, dental and veterinary use - 33156000 - Psychology testing devices ## Release History - 23 Feb 2023 at 11:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87da30bf-677d-45ac-84c2-5e9a9a9aec83 - 22 Feb 2023 at 11:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87da30bf-677d-45ac-84c2-5e9a9a9aec83 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87da30bf-677d-45ac-84c2-5e9a9a9aec83 23rd February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.brunelesourcing.com Brunel e-Sourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.brunel.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
