This tender falls under the goods category, classified with the CPV code 33111100, and is situated in Newcastle Upon Tyne, North East England. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 31 January 2022. The anticipated contract period is from 1 March 2022 to 31 March 2024, with a total contract value of £100,000 and a minimum of £50,000. The method of procurement is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the field of medical and radiation-related equipment. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing x-ray devices, radiation monitors, and other related apparatus would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement includes stringent safety standards and specifications, which may encourage innovative solutions that meet compliance and operational efficiency, thereby fostering business growth in the radiological equipment sector. ## Notice We require an x-ray irradiation facility capable of providing a total ionising dose to electronics components at a rate between 0.5 and 3 Gy(Si)/s to a total of 1000 Gy(Si). The x-rays must have sufficient energy to penetrate into exposed electronic components to a depth of a few mm, this means that a minimum energy requirement is 100 keV but higher energies are desirable, subject to safety constraints. The system must be compliant with UK national standards for safety; Safety of Machinery standard: ISO 13849-1:2015, and the Ionising Radiations Regulations - IRR 2017. This means that there must be shielding to reduce the radiation to background levels outside of the testing chamber and that there must be a secure interlock system with a safe failure state such that the system will not function with the door open, as well as a keyed initiation system. This system should be provided with all relevant cooling and control and command systems needed for operation, as well as a dosimeter capable of tracking the dose provided inside the chamber. The facility will be used in a laboratory installed on the second floor and so must be small enough to transport into that space. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1100e23a-4134-4715-a8d0-78e3c71f9555 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY AT NEWCASTLE | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 8ST | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33111000 - X-ray devices - 33111100 - X-ray table - 33111200 - X-ray workstations - 33111300 - X-ray processing devices - 33111400 - X-ray fluoroscopy devices - 38341000 - Apparatus for measuring radiation - 38341200 - Radiation dosimeters - 38341600 - Radiation monitors - 38580000 - Non-medical equipment based on the use of radiations ## Release History - 12 Jan 2022 at 13:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1100e23a-4134-4715-a8d0-78e3c71f9555 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1100e23a-4134-4715-a8d0-78e3c71f9555 12th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Newcastle-Upon-Tyne:-T21-0046-Radiation-TID-Facility/99JGVR6PTV Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
