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 (3) ### Lot 1: Main Magnet, Gradient coils, Shim Correction coils and Environmental Correction coils - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 33100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** 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 (in... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Power Supplies and current amplifier for the Main Magnet system - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 33100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** AWARD NOTICE for - Three power current amplifiers that will each drive one segment of the main magnet.
