## Summary

The Home Office is initiating a market engagement process for the provision of handheld Radioisotope Identification Devices, a key component in the UK's strategy to detect and deter the illicit importation of radiological and nuclear materials at the border. This market engagement event is scheduled to take place on 4th December 2019, from 14:00 to 15:30, at 10 St Bride Street, London, EC4A 4AD, with an engagement end date set for 3rd December 2019. This procurement falls under the category of recording systems and exploration devices, specifically focusing on radiation monitors and nuclear evaluation instruments.

This engagement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the defence, nuclear, and safety equipment sectors, particularly those with expertise in radiation detection technology. Suppliers interested in collaborating on this procurement can gain insights into the Home Office's requirements and strategies, potentially leading to future contracts. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include manufacturers and service providers of radiation monitoring technology, as well as companies specialising in nuclear safety solutions.

## Notice

The Home Office wishes to hold a market engagement event to inform its procurement strategy and assist with understanding the capabilities that exist in the market for its potential requirements for the provision of handheld Radioisotope Identification Devices (RIDs). This equipment will be operated as a component of a larger, nationwide, fixed and mobile Radiological and Nuclear (RN) detection and deterrence capability, to detect and deter the illicit importation of RN materials at the UK border. The Home Office seeks to engage with potential providers for their views on the replacement of the RIDs. Ideally the equipment will be operational before mid-2021. At the event there will be an opportunity for prospective providers to register for follow up 1:1 sessions. We would therefore like to offer suitably interested prospective suppliers the opportunity to attend the event to be held at 14:00 to 15:30 on 4th December 2019 at 10 St Bride Street, London, EC4A 4AD.
