## Summary

Public Health England (PHE) has completed a procurement process for a radio frequency exposure system designed for small laboratory animals, with an award made to IT'IS Foundation. The contract, valued at £60,000, is classified under the industry category of microwave radio equipment and is located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 2nd February 2018, and the contract duration spans from 19th February 2018 to 19th February 2019. This procurement process was initiated as a tender and falls under the 'Other' procurement method.

This contract provides significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the development and supply of scientific and laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in radio frequency technologies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specifications for constructing such systems, particularly those focused on animal research and welfare, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The ability to provide advanced computational dosimetry and maintain stringent animal welfare conditions will be critical for potential suppliers seeking to engage in this sector.

## Notice

Public Health England (PHE) has awarded a contract to IT'IS Foundation for a radio frequency exposure system for small laboratory animal. This must allow up to 24 animals to be simultaneously exposed to 3G mobile phone-like radio frequency fields at precise, controlled and repeatable doses. It must allow the animals to move freely without restraint, and to monitor environmental conditions during exposure. It is essential that the system is provided with detailed computational dosimetry to allow for accurate determination of whole-body and local exposures to all major organs. This system will provide increased capacity to assess the potential of environmental exposure to radio frequency fields to cause adverse effects which is currently being investigated within current and future projects.
