The tender is classified under the medical equipment category and is currently complete, having reached the award stage. The contract was signed on 7th October 2021 and was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting authority is based in Newcastle, UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment and wearable technology. Companies that develop innovative bio-physical measurement devices, particularly those capable of addressing the specific needs of patients with reduced mobility and other health conditions, would be well-positioned to compete. The awarded contract was successful with a bid value ranging from £200,000 to £300,000, indicating a robust marketplace for suppliers who can meet the performance and technical specifications required by Newcastle University. ## Notice Newcastle University requires devices to measure bio-physical parameters for patients involved in clinical trials. These devices are required for the EU IDEA-FAST and Mobilise-D projects. The devices were specifically chosen due to their ability to measure acceleration and rotational forces. They were also chosen for their ease of use and comfort (important for specific group participating in the studies who may have reduced mobility, dexterity and cognitive function). ### Lot Information Lot 1 Newcastle University requires devices to measure bio-physical parameters for patients involved in clinical trials. These devices are required for the EU IDEA-FAST and Mobilise-D projects. The devices were specifically chosen due to their ability to measure acceleration and rotational forces. They were also chosen for their ease of use and comfort (important for specific group participating in the studies who may have reduced mobility, dexterity and cognitive function). The AX6 is an accelerometer data logger developed by Axivity that is worn with a provided wristband or can be attached elsewhere on the body with a patch. AX6 features a 6-axis accelerometer, temperature sensor, light sensor, real time quartz clock and an on-board memory for data storage. Sampling rate and range are configurable which enables it to be optimized to different uses. Collection up to 16 days is possible at 100Hz without recharging. The long battery life and high-resolution data make it ideal for collecting longitudinal movement data in clinical trials. Data is stored on the device and requires manual transfer. There is a large repository of AX3 data (~100,000 subjects [12]) within the UK biobank and has over 20 peer reviewed publications including disease populations of interest to IDEA-FAST, e.g., people with Parkinson's. The device has been tested in patients with Parkinson's disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Huntington's disease and Primary Sjogren's Syndrome across clinical hospital sites within the EU with positive feedback from both patients and clinical staff.
