In plain English

Nottingham Trent University wants a company to design, supply, install and switch on a 1.5 tesla MRI scanner (a medical-style imaging machine) housed in a movable modular building at its Clifton Campus. The scanner will be used for teaching and for research across physics, psychology, food science, engineering and materials, as well as by outside businesses and academics.

What the buyer wants

• Design, supply, install and commission a complete 1.5T relocatable MRI system with a 60cm wide bore, set up to hospital-standard performance. • Provide all the information needed to meet building planning requirements for the modular unit. • Give the university full control over imaging settings for non-human studies, and build a long-term working relationship covering maintenance, training and knowledge exchange.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses would be disqualified because they cannot act as a manufacturer or certified installer of a medical-grade MRI scanner, and cannot demonstrate prior large-scale MRI installation experience and the financial capacity to deliver a £583k specialist system.
