Notice Information

Notice Title

UKRI-1930 Analytical Laboratory Services for the Detection, Measurement and Reporting of Radioactivity Levels

Notice Description

Text to be corrected in the original notice: Instead of: 31 March 2022 Time: 16:00 Read New: 07 April 2022 Time: 16:00 Instead of: 31 March 2022 Time: 17:00 Read New: 07 April 2022 Time: 17:00 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. UKRI-STFC requires an independent accredited laboratory to carry out destructive analysis for a range of radionuclides and gamma spectrometry on smaller sub samples which require a lower Minimal Detectable Amount (MDA). Most of the samples will require analysis by gamma spectroscopy with some destructive analysis. Dependent on the sample analysis requests might frequently include 55Fe, 63Ni, 3H, 14C and gross alpha beta. The samples will have a typical range of activities ranging from samples of out of scope limits to Intermediate Level Wastes (ILW).
