University College London awarded a contract to Hitachi UK Ltd for the supply of a near infrared spectrometer (NIRS) for brain functional studies in humans.

The device is intended for the Department of Psychology and must be a state-of-the-art fNIRS system with a proven research record in monitoring functional activation in adults.

The instrument is to be comprised of high-quality materials and operable by non-expert personnel.

The purchase is a long-term investment, and support from the company, particularly in data analysis, is important; companies with dedicated staff in data analysis and software improvements were desirable, as fully described in Schedule 3 of the tender.

The budget for the tender was £190K, and suppliers providing responses above this budget limit would have their offers rejected.

The contract value is £190,000.
