This project is part of the National Measurement System's (NMS) efforts to enhance productivity within the UK industry through precise measurement. The tender aimed to estimate the benefits of NPL's contributions to Radiotherapy and Radiation Dosimetry. The procurement method used was an open procedure (below threshold), and the contract was awarded to King's College London. Important dates include the tender period ending on 4 October 2024, the contract starting on 20 November 2024, and ending on 31 March 2025. The assigned value for this contract is £59,999.92 GBP. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the healthcare and measurement science sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on radiotherapy, radiation dosimetry, and related healthcare technologies can leverage this contract's visibility and significance to further establish their capabilities and potentially secure additional contracts in the future. Businesses equipped with expertise in improving healthcare standards, developing health technologies, and enhancing healthcare service delivery would find themselves particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders and benefit from such high-impact projects. ## Notice The National Measurement System (NMS) provides the UK with an infrastructure of laboratories that deliver world-class measurement science and technology and provide traceable and accurate standards of measurement. Improving the productivity of UK industry is essential in sustaining and improving prosperity for our nation, and measurement plays a fundamental role in optimising and improving industrial processes. The NMS focuses on major societal challenges, through the set-up of challenge areas which sit across measurement science functions. One of these challenge areas is 'Life Science and Health,' which aims to improve standards and methods across healthcare, contribute towards developments in healthcare technologies, and improve the delivery of healthcare services while helping to reduce costs. This RfQ invites applications for one of the four short-term health impacts studies that were identified by a previous scoping study. This impact study will aim to estimate the benefits resulting from NPL's work in the field of Radiotherapy and Radiation Dosimetry. Further information about NPL's contributions in this area is provided later. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542a4bf6-1837-4bf5-94da-c3471b77b806 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 4 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Nov 2024 | | Contract period | 20 Nov 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £59,999 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £59,999 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Teddington | | Westminster constituency | Twickenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KING'S COLLEGE LONDON | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 18 Feb 2025 at 16:06 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542a4bf6-1837-4bf5-94da-c3471b77b806 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542a4bf6-1837-4bf5-94da-c3471b77b806 18th February 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.npl.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
