The procurement is in the planning stage with an engagement end date of August 31, 2023, and is classified under the CPV code 38341600 for radiation monitors. The buying organization is located in London, United Kingdom, and is seeking suppliers for goods. The purpose of the RFI is to gather information about potential future requirements in the marketplace. This tender for Electronic Personal Dosimeters presents an opportunity for businesses involved in providing radiation monitoring services or related equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health and safety industry would be well-suited to compete. The UK Health Security Agency aims to expand its dosimetry services by introducing EPDs alongside existing TLD badges, potentially offering long-term contracts for the supply of EPDs to chosen customers. ## Notice The Personal Dosimetry Service (PDS) of UKHSA Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards Directorate provides measurement and recording of doses to radiation workers. The clients of this commercial service are radiation employers in a variety of sectors (from medical to dental and general industry). Measurements are made by means of personal dosemeters or "badges" that are worn by the employee for a period before being returned to UKHSA for processing and reporting. PDS runs several Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved services, the main being the thermoluminescent type dosemeter. PDS also supplies dosimetry for more specialist radiation types of neutron and radon for government and private sector customers. All current dosimetry provided by PDS is passive which has led to an increase in customer enquiries regarding Electronic Personal Dosemeters (EPDs) which are live. PDS would like to start offering EPDs as part of the service alongside the current TLD badges, with the view to get the EPD approved by HSE and accredited by ISO17025. PDS is planning to supply EPDs to chosen customers to start with, the initial order is likely to be around 200 EPDs and going forward this will continuously increase year on year as more customers are changed over to this method of dosimetry. The purpose of this RFI is to improve the Authority's understanding of the marketplace and its options for sourcing for a potential future requirement. The issuance of this RFI does not constitute a sourcing exercise nor will the Authority pay any costs incurred in the preparation of a response to this RFI.
