Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited, the organisation operating the National Physical Laboratory, procured a 320kV industrial X-ray system for radiographic inspection and non-destructive testing. The requirement covered a Gulmay 320kV X-ray unit, associated control and I/O equipment, accessories, cabling, cooling systems and system integration. It also included delivery, installation, commissioning, testing, post-installation examination and operational handover. The system is intended for safe and effective operation within NPL’s X-ray enclosure facility. This is primarily a specialist goods supply with substantial installation and commissioning content, classified as X-ray inspection equipment. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom, for NPL’s facility in Teddington. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots, and the buyer is a public undertaking.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to EUROTECK SYSTEMS UK LIMITED and signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 7 December 2026. Its value is £9,587,800 excluding VAT and £11,505,360 including VAT. The process was a below-threshold procurement using a tender route; the recorded method detail is “Below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome indicates that NPL selected a supplier for the full X-ray system requirement, including the equipment, associated infrastructure, installation, commissioning, examination, testing and handover services described in the scope.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers that design, manufacture, distribute or integrate high-voltage industrial X-ray inspection systems, particularly equipment suitable for radiographic inspection and non-destructive testing. Credible competitors would need to supply a 320kV system and coordinate the associated control, I/O, cabling, cooling and integration requirements as one operational installation. Capability in delivery, installation, commissioning, functional testing, safety-related examination and operational handover would be important, as would the ability to work within an existing X-ray enclosure facility. The award to an SME shows that a specialist small or medium-sized supplier can deliver this type of technically demanding requirement for NPL. The scale and breadth of the package also favour suppliers able to manage equipment, engineering and post-installation services together.
