## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation organisation has completed a procurement process for the tender titled "UKRI-1344 Radon Detectors," which falls under the category of radiation monitors. This procurement was conducted under an open procedure, facilitating participation from a wide range of suppliers. The tender period concluded on 15th February 2020, while the contract period spans from 16th February 2021 to 9th March 2021. The tender has a total value of £38,600 and is situated in Swindon, England.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses specialised in the production and supply of high-sensitivity radiation detection equipment. Given the technical requirements outlined, companies with expertise in cutting-edge scientific instruments and those capable of delivering products tailored for low background particle physics experiments will find this contract an ideal match. The involvement of larger firms suggests a competitive environment, whereas smaller enterprises may also consider collaborating with established providers to bid effectively.

## Notice

Assaying for radon emanation from materials used in low background particle physics experiments requires radon detectors of very high sensitivity. Standard radon detectors operate in the range of 1 Bq/m3 or above. In the next 5 years, new experiments will be built that require sensitivity to radon emanation around 1000x more sensitive (1 mBq/m3 or below) but the research into potential materials must begin immediately.
