Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has initiated a procurement process titled the "Cyclamen Programme," aimed at enhancing radiation protection services across the UK. This tender falls under the services category and is specifically focused on maintaining and upgrading the RN detection system at ports and airports around the UK, and one site in northern France, including the associated IT infrastructure. The procurement stage is at the tender phase, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 6th September 2024. The total contract value is £300 million GBP, with a duration of 60 months, and there is an option for renewal for an additional 60 months. Interested suppliers are invited to participate via the Home Office's eSourcing portal, Jaggaer, with the final invitation date set for 24th October 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in defence and security services, particularly those with expertise in radiation detection, IT infrastructure, and maintenance. SMEs and large enterprises with capabilities in providing comprehensive RN detection services, including fixed and mobile detection units, and IT management, are well-suited to compete in this procurement. The competitive procedure with negotiation allows suppliers to refine their proposals to meet the Home Office's stringent requirements, presenting a substantial growth opportunity for businesses within the security and defence sector.

Notice Title

Cyclamen Programme

Notice Description

The threat of an attack using radiological and nuclear (RN) devices has consistently appeared in the National Risk Register, highlighting how these low-likelihood but catastrophically high-impact attack methods remain of concern to HMG. To mitigate these risks, the Home Office maintains a comprehensive RN detection capability for passenger and freight traffic at the border. This is known as the Cyclamen capability, which has been in operation since 2003. It is the UK's primary defence against the illicit importation of RN materials and sits alongside wider detection and response capabilities that make up the UK's domestic nuclear security system. Cyclamen is the UK's RN border detection system that plays a key part in protecting the UK border and is a critical part of HMG's Nuclear Security Strategy as well as CONTEST, the Government's counter-terrorism strategy. Interested potential suppliers should visit the Home Office's eSourcing portal (Jaggaer) and look for: "PQQ_345 01 - Future Cyclamen: Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for Early Market Engagement". You should complete and submit the NDA following which we will invite your organisation to the Jaggaer site that contains our Selection Questionnaire documentation with more details about the Authority's requirements and how to participate. For potential suppliers that have already completed the NDA, you will be automatically added to the Selection Questionnaire Event on the Home Office's eSourcing portal (Jaggaer) "pqq_484 - Future Cyclamen Selection Questionnaire".

Lot Information
