The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focused on enhancing research capabilities within the Education sector. This tender was initiated on 4th July 2022 and is set to close on 4th August 2022, with bids to be submitted electronically. The procurement will take place in Bangor, Gwynedd, with a total estimated contract value of £670,000. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those offering MRI-compatible technology and related instruments. Companies that develop portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy systems, ergonomic devices, and monitoring equipment for physiological variables would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on quality instrumentation and innovative solutions aligns perfectly with organisations dedicated to research and development in the healthcare sector. ## 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 | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=122692 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract 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 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=122692 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL403665 MRI Compatible Equipment for Cerebro-Vascular Physiology Suite - The Bangor Imaging Cerebral Physiology (BICP) lab is involved in research into the brain's response to hypoxia and other environmental challenges.
