## Summary

The public procurement contracting process is for Radiometric & Associated Services Lot 3 - Radiometrics Characterisation Services, led by Sellafield Ltd. The industry category is radiation protection services. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract value of £10,240,000 GBP. The tender period ended on 20th July 2023, and the contract period runs from 5th April 2024 to 5th April 2028.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in radiation protection services. Companies with expertise in radiation imaging surveys, gamma spectrometry, and neutron counting measurements are well-suited to compete. Sellafield Ltd is the buying organisation requesting these services through an open procurement method. Businesses can engage with Sellafield Ltd to provide radiometric characterisation solutions critical for high hazard reduction activities and future remediation needs.

## Notice

The requirement is for Sellafield to engage with a lead supply chain organisation to take on the Radiometric Characteristic Services (RCS), for a four year period, with the supply chain provider delivering both standard and be-spoke services as per the requirements of Sellafield site, with the Sellafield RCS team acting role of intelligent client provision. The supply chain partner will work closely with the Radiometric Systems Group Characterisation Team (RSGCT) to deliver fit for purpose, in-situ, radiometric characterisation solutions. The demand profile for RCS services is anticipated to accelerate as the site moves towards Post Operational Clean Out (POCO), decommissioning and high hazard reduction. Future site demand is currently unclear which necessitates the requirement for an increasingly flexible, integrated approach to radiometric characterisation delivery by RSGCT and a supply chain partner. RCS will be used to resolve both current and emerging radiometric characterisation issues and will be critical for future remediation and high hazard reduction activities. Examples of typical RCS delivery projects are: * Radiation imaging surveys to provide hotspot maps of radionuclide distributions associated with areas of plant. These surveys may be extended to provide detailed activity or dose estimation at points with the survey area; * Gamma spectrometry and neutron counting measurements to provide detailed assay of items such as waste packages, waste drums, crates, International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) freight containers and gloveboxes; and * Dose rate mapping and quantification.
