UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is procuring an approved radiation dosimetry service to assess and keep records of radiation doses received by classified and non-classified people. The requirement covers dosimetry and related radiation-protection work, including environmental safety services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The service is intended to provide the authority with professional assessment and reliable dose records for people exposed to radiation in the course of their work. The requirement is presented as a single package, rather than separate service lots, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The authority is the buyer and is based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire.

The authority invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set 3 December 2026 at 5pm as the deadline for questions and 11 December 2026 at midday as the bid deadline; the buyer’s stated decision deadline was 29 January 2027. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by a further three years, taken up annually subject to satisfactory performance. The estimated value is £1,427,500 excluding VAT (£1,713,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives 60% to technical quality, 10% to social value and 30% to total price. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the tender documents. Bids may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity is for suppliers able to operate an approved dosimetry service and assess and maintain radiation-dose records for both classified and non-classified personnel. Relevant capability includes radiation protection and dosimetry systems, with the capacity to deliver dependable assessment and record-keeping throughout the contract and any extension. The technical quality element carries the greatest evaluation weight, so a strong technical solution is central to competing; bidders must also address social value and pricing. The authority identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to specialist providers as well as larger organisations. Economic and technical suitability are assessed under requirements in the tender documents. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their service can meet the authority’s dosimetry needs and support satisfactory ongoing performance.
