## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded a contract for the 'X-Ray Diffraction System' valued at £312,514.78, aimed at enhancing the evaluation of security equipment. This project falls under the transport services category and is located in London, with the contract period commencing on 17 March 2022 and concluding on 31 March 2024. The open procurement method was employed, allowing various suppliers to compete. The tender period concluded on 10 February 2022, marking the transition into the award stage of the process.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in the provision of transport services and security equipment. Companies that specialise in x-ray technology, particularly those innovating in security measures for passenger screening, will find this contract particularly relevant for business growth. By participating in similar tenders, businesses can expand their product offerings and enhance their partnerships with governmental agencies focused on security advancements.

## Notice

The DfT carries out evaluations of commercially available security equipment testing automated detection capability against performance standards. As part of the continuing increase in security capability the DfT are looking to purchase commercial equipment in support of its R&D program to assist in the speed of deployment of new algorithms and better systems. As part of that program the DfT Research, Analysis and Development (RAD) team are looking to purchase an x-ray diffraction system for the use of screening passenger cabin baggage.
