The contract, with a value of £212,371 in GBP, involves nuclear safety services and has a contract period from 1st April 2024 to 30th September 2024. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action (below threshold), and the tender period ended on 22nd March 2024. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses active in the nuclear safety services sector to contribute to the OSPAR Radioactive Substances Strategy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations may find this tender particularly suitable for their capabilities. Located in London, United Kingdom, this contract aims to support the UK's commitments towards preventing and eliminating pollution in the North-East Atlantic under the OSPAR Convention. ## Notice Provision of a Radiological Surveillance Programme for OSPAR (with supporting data reporting and advice) The UK is a contracting party to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North- East Atlantic (the 'OSPAR Convention'). Under the OSPAR Convention the UK is required to submit this data on an annual basis. This requirement is contained within the OSPAR Radioactive Substances Strategy where it commits the OSPAR Commission to annually collect data on Concentration of Radionuclides in the Marine Environment. The UK is signed up to the OSPAR Convention (North-East Atlantic Environment 2030), NEAES2030 and so regular reporting is required in order to review progress towards the targets of the Radioactive Substances Strategy. The programme of radiological surveillance work provides the source data (sample collection, analysis, and annual reporting) and therefore, the means to monitor and make an assessment of progress in line with the UK's commitments towards OSPAR's Radioactive Substances Strategy. This provides a framework for preventing and eliminating pollution in the North-East Atlantic, including the seas around the UK. The work specified here forms part of a wider programme of work under OSPAR and is managed by The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
