Notice Description
The contract is for acquiring supplies from the supplier (Mirion) to prevent difficulties in operation and maintenance of the Mirion radiometric support equipment, ensuring the supplies used are that of the suppliers own equipment (to which the supplier has the Intellectual Property Rights and patents) so that: <br/><br/>- The Radiometric protective equipment is correct and is part of a set of pre-approved type tested equipment which has been evaluated and considered fit and safe for the intended purpose. <br/><br/>- The spares in use meet a predetermined specification which matches the equipment outlined above.

Lot Information
Lot 1
The contract was awarded to the supplier (Mirion) to maintain an ongoing supply of pre-approved spares and consumables to maintain the most robust and safe use of the Mirion equipment. The contract will enable the supplier to continuously support the timely supply of the correct spares required.
As the supplier retains Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) this restricts the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies and ensure the safe operation and maintenance of Mirion equipment on site. Additional information: The service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) relating to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR 2015 (competition is absent for technical reasons) also applies. Regulation 32(5)(b) PCR 2015 also applies.
Procurement Information
The service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for the supplies, and would restrict the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies, with justification for contract award on the grounds of Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR 2015 (competition is absent for technical reasons) also applies. <br/><br/>Regulation 32(5)(b) PCR 2015 also applies (for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance).
