Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought electronic personal dosimeters for the Central Laser Facility (CLF), with carriage to UKRI. These are personal radiation-monitoring devices used to measure an individual’s exposure to radiation. The requirement is for the supply and delivery of dosimeters, rather than a broader equipment or facility service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buying organisation is UKRI, with UK Shared Business Services managing the procurement. The contract concerns goods for the CLF, a UKRI research facility. Suppliers focused on personal radiation dosimetry equipment and its transport are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition. PHOENIX DOSIMETRY LTD was selected for the single lot. The award value was £24,813 excluding VAT (£29,775.60 including VAT). The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 15 January 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition; no detailed award criteria are stated in the process information. The contract covers electronic personal dosimeters for the Central Laser Facility and carriage to UKRI.

This award demonstrates a focused, short-duration requirement for supplying personal radiation dosimeters to a UKRI research facility, including delivery to UKRI. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to supply appropriate electronic personal dosimetry equipment and manage its carriage to the buyer. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a smaller specialist supplier delivered the requirement. The procurement route was limited competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be equipped to compete through a restricted invitation process rather than relying on an open tender. The award is relevant to specialist dosimetry equipment suppliers with the capacity to fulfil a discrete supply requirement for a central government research buyer.
