Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has concluded its procurement process for the Radiation Protection Advisory Service, a tender aimed at assisting with compliance concerning the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017. This contract covers all establishments within Scotland and spans an initial four-year duration starting from late July 2025. The procurement, identified by tender ID SPS-02218, follows an open procedure and is categorised under 'Public order and safety' in the services sector, as per classification code 90721600. Key stages of the procurement involved planning, tender, and award phases, with the contract being awarded on 15th July 2025 and valued at £73,883. Notably, NDT MainCal Limited was selected as the supplier following the tendering process, which saw submissions conclude by 23rd June 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in radiation protection services and related safety compliance offerings. Service providers that can deliver expertise in advisory roles, particularly those familiar with the regulatory frameworks governing ionising radiation in the UK, are well-positioned to engage in similar opportunities with public sector bodies like the SPS. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as NDT MainCal Limited have demonstrated competitiveness in this sector, suggesting a favourable environment for agile, specialised firms to leverage their niche capabilities in advising government agencies. The open procurement method underscores the accessibility of such contracts, allowing for diverse participation and innovation in public safety services.
