Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has procured an approved personal dosimetry and environmental radiation dose monitoring service to protect staff who may be exposed to ionising radiation at work and support the Trust’s duties under radiation safety regulations. The service covers personal exposure monitoring, dose assessment, maintaining dose records and reporting, including for staff classified as requiring formal occupational monitoring. It also supports investigation of possible overexposures and keeping staff exposure within statutory limits and as low as reasonably practicable. Delivery is for the Trust in Gloucestershire, England. This is specialist radiation protection work, rather than a supply of monitoring equipment alone: the requirement includes ongoing assessment, records management and regulatory reporting, with approved dosimetry provision for classified staff.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Landauer Europe Ltd following an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The award date was 30 September 2026, at £82,950.50 excluding VAT (£99,540 including VAT). The contract is due to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending to 30 November 2031. There was one lot, covering the full service. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 54%, price at 36% and social value at 10%. Three bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Electronic submissions in English were accepted during the competition.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award shows demand for an approved dosimetry service combining personal monitoring with dose assessment, reliable dose-record management and associated reporting. Credible providers need to demonstrate they can meet the requirements for an Approved Dosimetry Service, particularly for staff designated as Classified Persons, and support the employer’s regulatory duties on exposure assessment, investigation of potential overexposure and statutory dose limits. The evaluation placed greater weight on technical quality than price, while also scoring social value, so providers need a technically robust service and a clear account of its social value alongside competitive commercial terms. The competition attracted three SME bidders, showing the requirement was contestable by smaller suppliers as well as larger providers.
