Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is buying radiation and tritium safety diagnostic equipment for delivery to Culham Campus in Oxfordshire. The requirement covers nuclear safety equipment, including radiation dosimeters and radiation monitors. Radiation protection services are also identified within the procurement classification. The purchase is divided into two lots, and suppliers may quote for either one lot or both. This is a goods procurement intended to support radiation and tritium safety diagnostics at the Authority’s Culham site.

The Authority invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline and deadline for enquiries were both 22 October 2026 at 11:00. The planned contract period runs from 25 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an award decision scheduled by 9 November 2026. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). The procurement is divided into two lots; suppliers may bid for one or both. Evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, and bids must be in English.

This opportunity is aimed at suppliers able to provide radiation and tritium safety diagnostic equipment, particularly nuclear safety equipment, radiation dosimeters and radiation monitors. Suppliers with a relevant equipment range and the ability to deliver to Culham Campus are well placed to consider the requirement. The Authority has indicated that the lots are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and firms can choose whether to compete for one lot or both. Radiation protection services appear in the procurement classification, so relevant service capability may also be of interest. The stated evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, making the technical merit of an offer a substantial part of the competition.
