Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured service and maintenance for fixed and mobile radiological and nuclear detection equipment forming its Cyclamen Estate. The requirement covers three service areas: RN detection, IT management and test-site management. The appointed supplier is responsible for maintaining the detection estate across multiple operational sites, including a juxtaposed port, and test facilities. Delivery extends across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. This is a specialist public-sector services requirement for radiation protection and associated technical support, rather than the supply of new equipment. It would be relevant to organisations able to manage safety-critical detection assets, supporting technology and testing environments across a geographically dispersed estate for the Home Office.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Leonardo UK Ltd on 30 April 2026. The contract is valued at £99.9 million, with the same amount stated as the overall estimated procurement value. The contract period runs from 25 June 2026 to 25 June 2030. It followed a selective competitive procedure with negotiation above the applicable threshold, with tender submissions due by 29 September 2025 at noon. The award is active. The procurement was classified as services, with radiation protection services as its primary classification. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was made to a single supplier for the full requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need proven capability in servicing fixed and mobile radiological and nuclear detection equipment, together with the systems and specialist facilities that support it. They would need to combine field engineering and preventative maintenance with IT management, equipment testing and test-site management, rather than offering a single maintenance discipline. The delivery model calls for coordination across multiple operational sites, a juxtaposed port and test facilities, with the organisational capacity to support locations in the UK and overseas territories and jurisdictions. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale, resilience, technical depth and the ability to manage a complex, geographically dispersed estate are important commercial characteristics for competing with the incumbent when this requirement next reaches the market.
