## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is seeking suppliers for the procurement of an Environmental Level Gamma Spectrometer System, classified under laboratory and precision equipment. The tender was published on 31 October 2018, with a closing date for submissions set on 14 November 2018. The procurement is carried out via a limited competitive quotation process and has a contract value of £75,000. Successful bidders will deliver the system to Teddington, London, with a contract period commencing on 21 November 2018 and concluding on 28 November 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the nuclear and environmental sectors, particularly those developing measurement devices or working in non-destructive testing. Suppliers that specialise in laboratory equipment and have expertise in radioactivity measurement stand to benefit from this contract, enhancing their portfolio while contributing to the UK's capabilities in nuclear metrology.

## Notice

The asset will join a small suite of detectors in the Nuclear Metrology Group, delivering radioactive standards to the UK and international community of radioactivity. This will be achieved more specifically through purity measurements to differentiate radionuclide contents as well as using the asset to provide standardisation of radioactivity for material that cannot be determined by other means, typically for non-destructive testing of samples. Furthermore, the instrument will support broader measurement services in examining nuclear decay data and developing gamma emitting reference materials in a variety of matrices, such as concrete, to support the nuclear power and environmental radioactivity sectors.
