Maintenance and provision of radiological and nuclear detection equipment

Notice Description

The Home Office wishes to enter a market engagement exercise for its potential requirements for maintenance, support and the provision of mobile and fixed radiological and nuclear detection equipment across the UK and juxtaposed ports to detect and prevent the illicit importation of radiological and nuclear materials.
