It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for Technical reasons. The Dstl Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS) has two Harshaw 8800 Plus thermoluminescent dosimetry readers (with built-in 90Sr/Y irradiators) that are used to provide the MOD with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved personal radiation dosimetry services. These services enable the MOD to comply with radiation protection legislation and fulfil its duty of care to its employees. One has been in service for 24 years whilst the other for 22, both are approaching end of life. We are intending to purchase 2 replacement Harshaw readers from Phoenix Dosimetry Ltd. There are other dosimetry units on the market however there would be compatibility issues if the same type were not procured and Dstl would need to replace the entire system. Dstl has 25,000 of these readers and the cost to replace them all would be extensive. A competition was put out via the LUPC framework to 6 possible suppliers to see if anyone else could supply the Harshaw readers. We received 2 responses but one withdrew as they would buy the unit from Phoenix themselves and the other was unable to supply the Item. An internet search did not reveal any other suppliers beyond those identified." }, "awards": [ { "id": "035612-2023-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "status": "active", "hasSubcontracting": true, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-99889", "name": "Phoenix Dosimetry LTD" } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-10036", "name": "Ministry of Defence", "identifier": { "legalName": "Ministry of Defence" }, "address": { "locality": "Salisbury", "region": "UKK", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "cbrcommercial@dstl.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "http://dstl.gov.uk", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "TED_CA_TYPE", "id": "MINISTRY", "description": "Ministry or any other national or federal authority, including their regional or local subdivisions" }, { "scheme": "COFOG", "id": "02", "description": "Defence" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-99889", "name": "Phoenix Dosimetry LTD", "identifier": { "legalName": "Phoenix Dosimetry LTD" }, "address": { "locality": "Sandhurst", "region": "UKJ", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "scale": "sme" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-5189", "name": "DSTL", "identifier": { "legalName": "DSTL" }, "address": { "locality": "Salisbury", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-FTS-10036", "name": "Ministry of Defence" }, "contracts": [ { "id": "035612-2023-1", "awardID": "035612-2023-1", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 239600, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2023-12-04T00:00:00Z" } ], "language": "en" }
