UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process to acquire a spare installed radiation monitor for CLARA as part of the identified need by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). The procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically measuring apparatus for radiation. This contract was awarded directly to Berthold Technologies (UK) Ltd, due to the lack of competitive alternatives or reasonable substitutes for the required goods. The procurement stage is in the award phase, having commenced on the 19th of August, 2025, with the contract expected to conclude by the 26th of September, 2025. This process was executed without competitive bidding as it is below the threshold for competition requirements.

This tender offers business growth opportunities primarily for firms specialising in radiation measurement apparatus, particularly those with unique technological offerings or proprietary products. Businesses that can provide specialised or technically superior solutions, similar to those of Berthold Technologies, could benefit from understanding this procurement scenario and positioning themselves for future direct award bids. Companies with the capability to deliver under technical requisites might find similar opportunities lucrative, especially if they can establish themselves as indispensable suppliers due to their unique offerings or technological edge.
