This opportunity is divided into two lots: the first lot focuses on services for UK ports and airports, ensuring compliance with the Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017, while the second lot is aimed at supporting the Ministry of Justice. The tender was published on 23rd September 2021, with submissions due by 4th November 2021. The contract will commence on 1st April 2022 and run until 31st March 2027. This procurement is classified under the CPV code for radiation protection services and follows an open procedure above threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those offering specialised services in radiation protection, compliance, and related operational support. Companies involved in training, dosimetry, and equipment maintenance could find themselves well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the nature of the services required may suit a range of innovative and agile service providers looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. ## Notice This Invitation to Tender (ITT) is being managed in two lots, both for Radiation Protection Advisory Services. Lot 1 - The Home Office requires a radiation protection advisory service across all ports and airports in the UK and its Juxtaposed Ports in Europe to ensure it meets its legal requirements under the Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017 (IRR17).

Lot 2 - The purpose of this procurement is to secure the services of a Radiological Protection Advisor to allow the Ministry of Justice as a public body, to use this Contract as and when required to satisfy its obligations under The Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017 (IRR17).
