Newcastle University requires devices to measure bio-physical parameters for patients involved in clinical trials. These devices are required for the EU IDEA-FAST and Mobilise-D projects. The devices were specifically chosen due to their ability to measure acceleration and rotational forces. They were also chosen for their ease of use and comfort (important for specific group participating in the studies who may have reduced mobility, dexterity and cognitive function). There are no other devices that can measure the specific parameters required and which are suitable to the selected population in the clinical trial.
- Review procedure
Newcastle University will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and 4 / 4 that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from the address referred to in part 1.1 above. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages
