Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Public Health England (PHE) seeking a radiation survey instrument. The tender, titled "Radiation Survey Instrument," falls under the industry category of nuclear evaluation instruments and is located in London, England. The tender period concluded on 13th November 2019, with the contract awarded on 20th November 2019 for the total value of £17,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure below threshold, accommodating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific instruments, particularly those offering radiation survey equipment that meets specific technical specifications, such as a 3x3 NaI detector and gamma spectroscopy functions. Companies with a focus on high-quality, portable equipment could find a competitive edge. Given that PHE has awarded a previous contract to Pycko Scientific for a similar instrument, there is potential for additional contracts if businesses can demonstrate compliance and innovation within their offerings.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Contract for a Radiation Survey Instrument

Notice Description

Following publication of a contracts finder opportunity notice, PHE has awarded a contract for a Georadis GT-40 Radiation Survey Instrument to Pycko Scientific. Following market engagement, it was determined that only the Georadis GT-40 has a gamma assay function allowing for assessment of concentrations (Bq/g or Bq/ml) of various radionuclides within a sample (of known weight/volume). This function provides a decisive saving in lab time which makes it an essential requirement. Pycko Scientific is the sole UK distributor of the model of GT-40 suitable for PHE's use.
