Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) in the United Kingdom has awarded a contract to Roke Manor Research Limited for the in-service support of the Detector Special Purpose (DSP34) system. This procurement, classified under repair and maintenance services, specifically addresses the needs of the infrastructure search detection suite, which is integral to through-barrier detection. The contract, valued at £888,203 (excluding VAT), commenced on 8 January 2025 and will run until 31 March 2026. This contract was awarded using a negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 due to technical reasons, with the tender period ending on 7 January 2025. The services will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for specialised firms, particularly those with expertise in high-end detection technologies and system maintenance involving radiation safety. Companies possessing unique technical skills and proprietary knowledge in servicing and maintaining bespoke equipment like DSP34 stand to benefit. Large-scale enterprises with prior experience in handling hazardous materials and ensuring safe operational protocols would be particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable for this specific contract due to the specialised requirements and risk management associated with the DSP34 system.
