Description

For the purchase of a system for non-invasive preclinical ultrasound imaging.  A single system is to be purchased that will permit visualisation of all of the following preclinical models:
•	Mouse embryos and zebrafish at resolutions down to 30 µm using an ultra-high frequency transducer (up to 71 MHz).
•	Mouse hearts and the vasculature in genetic and drug-induced models of disease at 30 µm resolution using a transducer of 30-40 MHz with a frame rate capable of  imaging heart rates of up to 750 beats per minute. ECG-gating is also required for 3D reconstruction of the heart.  
•	Rat hearts and the vasculature in genetic and drug-induced models of disease (as detailed above for mice) using a transducer of ~29 MHz.
•	Mouse or rat brains (requiring a lower frequency transducer of ~22 MHz).
Additional capability is required for upgrading for imaging of pig hearts and the vasculature (requires low frequency transducers of 4-10 MHz) and for photoacoustic imaging.
The system must have the following provision:
•	Integrated physiology traces for small animals, including display of ECG, respiration waveform, and body temperature.  
•	Capability for capturing B-mode and M-mode images, and for analysis of the images to provide data on cardiac and vascular function and dimensions in the above preclinical models (including strain and speckle-tracking).
•	Capability for Power Doppler, Pulsed-Wave Doppler, Pulsed-Wave tissue Doppler and colour Doppler for assessment of blood flow.
•	Capability for contrast imaging.
The University has published this VEAT notice and intends to award a contract to FUJIFILM Visualsonics Inc. following the expiry of 10 full calendar days after the expiry of this notice.

Wrexham Smart Towns Expansion – LoRaWAN/ IOT Sensors and Associated Hardware Framework

Wrexham County Borough Council wish to establish a Framework for LoRaWAN IOT sensors and other associated hardware for the expansion of the Wrexham Smart Towns initiative. The SMART Towns initiative was launched in 2022 and has proven highly successful. It is hosted within the Regeneration team at Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC), links to the Council plan and is backed by the Welsh Government. WCBC is now seen as one of the leading authorities in the UK on implementing IOT (Internet of Things) sensors to obtain data to help the Council make better informed decisions. These sensors obtain data sets such as footfall, dwell time, air quality and traffic data etc. Progress has seen some key benefits to the local authority, including the ability to make efficiencies. The use of moisture sensors within the city centre has provided data that ensures the local authority embeds a smarter way of working, as it only has to water necessary plant beds. The authority is now looking to expand on the success of the pilots and explore more possible projects, such as flood monitoring (flood risk team), air quality (open spaces team), road temperature sensors to identify savings on gritting, sensors to highlight potential savings on energy, and the technology is to be introduced to parts of Social Care to ensure SMART is a way of life to ensure the safety of our residents Please see the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document, pricing list, appendices and other supporting documents for full details of the proposed work. These have been published and are available on the eTenderWales (Bravo Solutions) online e-sourcing portal, which can be accessed through this web address: https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/. You will need to be registered as a supplier on both Sell2Wales/FTS and eTenderWales. To access and download the documents you will need to be logged into eTenderWales and search for the Invitation to Tender (ITT). You can look up the tender with the following reference: project_59662, itt_118024 - Wrexham Smart Towns Expansion – LoRaWAN/ IOT Sensors and Associated Hardware Framework. Interested suppliers may ask clarification questions though eTenderWales. If you wish to tender for the work, your tender submission will need to be uploaded though eTenderWales.
