Official UK procurement notice
WHOLE-BODY FAST FIELD-CYCLING MAGNET, GRADIENT AND SHIM ASSEMBLY, WITH THE CORRESPONDING CURRENT AMPLIFIERS
Authority: University of Aberdeen (Education)
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionAWARD NOTICE - The University of Aberdeen is leading the research and development efforts of Fast Field-Cycling imaging (FFC imaging). This is a new technology that derives from MRI but allows controlling the main magnetic field, contrary to conventional scanners that operate at a fixed magnetic field strength. To achieve such a level of control the main magnet must be carefully designed to exhibit a low inductance so that it can be driven to alter its field strength within 10 to 20 ms (ramp time), using gradient-type power supplies.

Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure
3 lots · no lot values published · evaluation weights differ by lotLot #1Main Magnet, Gradient coils, Shim Correction coils and Environmental Correction coilsAwardedRenewal
AWARD NOTICE for - A whole-body electromagnet, a three-axis gradient system, a set of correction coils (‘shims’) to improve the homogeneity of the main magnet, and a set of environmental correction coils to compensate for external magnetic fields (including Earth’s field).
Further detail available in Invitation To Tender documentation.
Lot #2Power Supplies and current amplifier for the Main Magnet systemAwarded
AWARD NOTICE for - Three power current amplifiers that will each drive one segment of the main magnet. It is important to consider that the three magnet segments are tightly coupled and act as 1:1 transformers.
Further detail in the Invitation To Tender Documentation.
Lot #3Current amplifiers for the Gradient systemAwardedRenewal
AWARD Notice for - Three current amplifiers that will each drive one of the gradient coils from Lot Number 1

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
