Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust bought radiation protection badges under a purchase order for use in its radiation-safety activities. The requirement is for goods in the radiation-monitoring category, associated with CPV 38341600, rather than consultancy, installation or construction work. The buyer is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent. The supplied badges are therefore relevant to businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply personal radiation-monitoring equipment for healthcare environments. Suppliers serving NHS trusts, hospitals or other organisations where staff need routine exposure monitoring would find the requirement aligned with their product area. The procurement concerned one defined requirement and was fulfilled for the trust’s operational needs.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Medway NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. Mirion Technologies (IST) Limited was selected as the supplier for the radiation protection badges. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and has an active contract period from 23 July 2026 to 23 July 2026. Its value is £16,820.45 excluding VAT, or £20,184.54 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competing bids, and covered one lot. The recorded purchase order reference is 270003608. No separate award date is recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for personal radiation-monitoring goods within an NHS hospital setting, at a scale suited to a focused supply arrangement rather than a major works or service contract. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need a dependable range of radiation protection badges or closely equivalent monitoring products, reliable fulfilment for healthcare users and the ability to process NHS purchase orders accurately. Experience supplying hospitals, trusts or other regulated workplaces would help demonstrate understanding of staff exposure monitoring and operational delivery. The selected supplier was a large specialist organisation, so businesses competing with it would need to show comparable product capability, supply reliability and capacity to support the buyer’s routine radiation-safety needs.
