## Summary

The University of Edinburgh conducted an open procurement process for the provision of a Wireless Neural Monitoring System, aimed at enhancing research capabilities. This tender, awarded to TainiTec Ltd., was completed on 13th August 2018 and has a contract value of £62,960. The procurement falls under the education industry category, with delivery required at the Edinburgh Medical School Biomedical Sciences Accounts, located at George Square, Edinburgh. The process involved one bid and was governed by the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, allowing for a non-competitive award based on the specific technical requirements that only TainiTec's system could satisfy.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in innovative medical technology and electronic systems, particularly those focusing on wireless and lightweight solutions for neural recording. Companies that can meet the unique specifications outlined in the tender, including high temporal resolution and multi-channel capabilities, would have a competitive advantage. Such opportunities can significantly propel growth for SMEs in the tech and healthcare sectors, aiming to collaborate with leading educational institutions like the University of Edinburgh.

## Notice

We require a neural recording system that meets the following requirements: - Wireless - light weight - battery that allows recording over several dayss - able to acquire signals with high temporal resolution ("sample rate") - able to acquire signals from multiple channels To date, the available wireless recording systems have only met a subset of these requirements. The TaiNiTec system is a new system, and the only one that meets all of the requirements.
