Summary of the contracting process

Whittington Health NHS Trust procured radiation protection services for its hospital and community dental sites in North London. The requirement covers Radiation Protection Adviser services, Medical Physics Expert support and Laser Protection Adviser services, together with associated quality assurance and training. The work supports diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, laser safety and dental radiography. This is a specialist healthcare compliance and medical physics service opportunity, delivered across NHS clinical and dental settings. The buyer is Whittington Health NHS Trust, based in London. The selected supplier is another NHS organisation, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which is also based in London. The service category is radiation protection services (CPV 90721600).

The procurement has reached award stage following a completed, above-threshold open procedure. One lot was evaluated on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%; economic and technical selection requirements applied. One tender was received and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was selected on 13 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,547,835 excluding VAT and £1,857,402 including VAT, covering the potential extensions and options; the original £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT) figure represented the annual value. The tender deadline was 7 July 2026, enquiries closed on 30 June 2026 and the award period ended on 21 July 2026. The standstill period ends on 24 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 25 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with up to two further 12-month extensions, giving a maximum term to 30 September 2031.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for an integrated radiation protection service rather than a single advisory discipline. A credible future competitor would need qualified Radiation Protection Adviser, Medical Physics Expert and Laser Protection Adviser capability, with the capacity to support diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, laser protection and dental radiography across hospital and community sites. It would also need to deliver structured quality assurance and staff training in clinical environments. The evaluation shows that technical quality and social value matter alongside price, so suppliers should be able to evidence robust service methods, competent personnel, healthcare experience and meaningful social value commitments. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the single tender received came from a large NHS foundation trust.
