Summary of the contracting process

The process was initiated on the 18th of March 2026 and included key stages such as tender periods ending on the 31st of March 2026. This contract falls within the services sector, specifically focusing on calibration services for handheld portable radiation monitoring equipment used at the Barrow Marine terminal. Located in the United Kingdom, this procurement follows an open, below-threshold competition method. The award was finalised on the 12th of May 2026, with key deadlines like the standstill period concluding on the 20th of May 2026. The contract spans from the 1st of June 2026 to the 31st of May 2028, with potential extensions up to the 31st of May 2032.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in calibration and repair services of radiation monitoring equipment. Such services are crucial in the nuclear sector, particularly for organizations equipped to manage radioactive and nuclear package handling. With a contract valued at £96,000 gross, large-scale service providers, especially those with experience in nuclear regulatory compliance, will find this opportunity particularly beneficial. The structure of the contract allows a single supplier to potentially secure work for up to six years, provided they can deliver consistent quality over initial two-year phases. Companies like High Technology Sources Ltd, already awarded this contract, exemplify the type of enterprise positioned to capitalise on these opportunities.
