This procurement falls under the medical equipment industry category and has a total budget of £670,000. The tender period concludes on 4th August 2022, with the bid opening and award period also scheduled for the same date. The procurement is conducted via an open procedure and covers multiple lots, including a portable fNIRS system and various MRI-compatible monitoring systems based in Bangor, Gwynedd, UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in medical equipment, particularly those capable of supplying advanced imaging and monitoring technology for physiological research. Businesses with expertise in providing high-quality medical devices and associated support services would be well-suited to compete. The diverse range of lots, encompassing both portable and stationary equipment, means that suppliers with innovative solutions and a strong after-sales support system may particularly benefit from this procurement process. ## Notice The Bangor Imaging Cerebral Physiology (BICP) lab is involved in research into the brain's response to hypoxia and other environmental challenges. BICP has been awarded internal funding to enhance its' imaging and measurement capabilities. The BICP therefore is looking to procure a robust and complementary set of equipment to extend its' research from healthy young participants to patient cohorts. ### Lot Information Portable functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system The purchase of a portable and MRI compatible fNIRS device, which will provide a measure of regional cerebral physiology and blood flow that can be collected both in the Bangor MRI scanner, and in an environmental chamber. The device will also allow a range of other research avenues - neurofeedback experiments to improve task-based efficiency, monitoring of cerebral responses in pharmaco-physiology studies, and monitoring functional changes in occupational rehabilitation after acquired brain injury, or in Parkinson's disease, that will benefit the wider research community of the BICP in the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase associated consumables and/or services (e.g. additional warranties) at a later date. An MRI compatible Ergometer to allow measurements of cerebral physiology under exertion Purchase of equipment that will allow rigorous monitoring and control of physiologic variables, such as blood gases, levels of exertion, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate to complement the fNIRS. Please see specification for further details. Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase associated consumables and/or services (e.g. additional warranties) at a later date. MRI compatible system for modifying blood gas levels, used to further study cerebral physiology under environmental Purchase of equipment that will allow rigorous monitoring and control of physiologic variables, such as blood gases, levels of exertion, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate to complement the fNIRS. Please see specification for further details. Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase associated consumables and/or services (e.g. additional warranties) at a later date. MRI compatible monitoring system for measurement of peripheral physiological variables Purchase of equipment that will allow rigorous monitoring and control of physiologic variables, such as blood gases, levels of exertion, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate to complement the fNIRS. Please see specification for further details. Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase associated consumables and/or services (e.g. additional warranties) at a later date. MRI compatible infusion pumps for drug or fluid delivery for pharmacokinetic studies. Purchase of equipment that will allow rigorous monitoring and control of physiologic variables, such as blood gases, levels of exertion, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate to complement the fNIRS. Please see specification for further details. Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase associated consumables and/or services (e.g. additional warranties) at a later date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018123-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £670,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PRIFYSGOL BANGOR / BANGOR UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BANGOR | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL57 2DG | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL32 Gwynedd | | Local authority | Gwynedd | | Electoral ward | Canol Bangor | | Westminster constituency | Bangor Aberconwy | | Delivery location | TLL12 Gwynedd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33100000 - Medical equipments - 33113000 - Magnetic resonance imaging equipment - 33150000 - Radiotherapy, mechanotherapy, electrotherapy and physical therapy devices ## Release History - 4 Jul 2022 at 11:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018123-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.bangor.ac.uk - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0340 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=122692 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
