Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured service and maintenance for the Cyclamen estate of fixed and mobile radiological and nuclear detection equipment. The requirement covers live detection capability at ports and airports across the UK and at one site in northern France, together with associated physical and cloud-based IT infrastructure. The work is organised around three service areas: maintaining fixed, vehicle-based and handheld radiation detection equipment; managing the on-site and cloud-hosted IT infrastructure used for health monitoring and operations; and managing a test facility for testing and integrating changes, including specialist handling of radioactive sources. The wider estate includes detectors, cameras, sensors, power, networking, traffic management equipment, vehicles, site infrastructure and supporting systems.

This procurement used a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The tender submission deadline was 6 September 2024 at 12:00, and up to five candidates were invited to the second stage on 24 October 2024. Selection was based on questionnaire ranking, with price as the award criterion; variants were not allowed. Five bids were recorded. The contract was awarded to Leonardo UK Ltd, with an active award for the requirement, and the contract was signed on 30 April 2026. The active contract value is £99.9 million. The initial contract term is 60 months, with an option to renew the services for up to a further 60 months. The original estimated procurement value was £300 million.

This requirement indicates demand for a prime supplier able to manage a complex national radiological and nuclear detection estate across operational ports, airports, vehicles, mobile equipment and a cross-border site. A credible future competitor would need integrated capabilities in radiation detection equipment maintenance, electrical and mechanical systems, security technology, networking, cloud and physical IT infrastructure, vehicle-related equipment and test-facility operations. Experience of health monitoring, systems integration, installation, preventive and corrective maintenance, and handling radioactive sources would be relevant. The scale and multi-site nature favour suppliers with substantial engineering, service-management and operational capacity, supported by specialist resources and the ability to coordinate several technical service areas under one delivery model.
