Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has issued an open procedure tender for the "Ad Hoc Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring and Radiological Assessments Framework". This procurement process pertains to the services industry category and falls under environmental monitoring not related to construction. The framework is situated in North Lanarkshire, UK, and managed from SEPA's Angus Smith Building in Holytown. The tender stage involves the acceptance of electronic submissions, and key deadlines have been updated with submissions now due by 10th July 2026, and the opening of tenders occurring shortly thereafter on the same day. Contracts within this framework are active, and the procurement is underpinned by the legal guidance of 32014L0024.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for companies specialising in environmental services and radiological assessments. The framework allows for a maximum of five participants, offering an excellent platform for businesses to enhance their portfolio through collaboration with a major public body. With a focus on quality (70% of the award criteria), businesses proficient in delivering high-quality environmental assessments will likely have a competitive edge. This is an optimal opportunity for firms looking to expand their service capabilities within the UK environmental sector, given SEPA's commitment to environmental protection and regional development.
