The equipment will be used to quantify the nuclide activity of samples and support strategic decisions for the decommissioning of JET, with operational deployment on-site required by the end of FY23/24. The procurement stage is currently open under an 'Open procedure', with the tender period ending on 19th January 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in apparatus for measuring radiation, radiation monitors, spectroscopy devices, nuclear evaluation instruments, gamma counters, and detection and analysis apparatus. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Businesses interested must take note of the deadline for submission on 19th January 2024 and the operational deployment requirement by the end of FY23/24. ## Notice The JET Decommissioning and Repurposing (JDR) programme has been established within UKAEA to carry out the decommissioning of JET following the cessation of operations in December 2023. Within the JDR programme, the Characterisation project is responsible for the radiological characterisation of JET's facilities and assets. The Characterisation project plans to commence early sampling of areas from the start of 2024 which will involve the taking of small samples from a wide range of material types and locations across the JET estate and will also be supporting the Sample Retrieval Project, which will be retrieving a small number of JET in-vessel components for analysis. The analysis of these samples is crucial to underpin key strategic decisions for JDR. Gamma spectroscopy will form a vital part of the characterisation process for activated material and therefore UKAEA wishes to expand it's existing capability on the Culham site. UKAEA are looking to procure a High-resolution gamma-spectrometer for use by the JDR Characterisation project. The main purpose of the instrument will be to quantify the nuclide activity of small, typically neutron activated samples, ranging in size from 2cm diameter up to 30cm, with the possibility of even larger items such as waste drums sized items. This equipment is key for the analysis of samples taken during the early sampling of JET facilities by the Characterisation team. The equipment will also be used to support the Sample Retrieval Project in the analysis of in-vessel components taken from JET in 2024. It is envisaged that the equipment will be deployed in various locations and as such, it should be portable. Such that early sampling work can progress, the equipment will be required to be operational on-site by the end of FY23/24. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea49ba17-34fd-40c2-b688-27acef6810c2 | | 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 | 20 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2024 - 21 Jan 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33114000 - Spectroscopy devices - 35113200 - Nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological protection equipment - 38341000 - Apparatus for measuring radiation - 38341600 - Radiation monitors - 38430000 - Detection and analysis apparatus - 38580000 - Non-medical equipment based on the use of radiations - 38940000 - Nuclear evaluation instruments - 38945000 - Gamma counters ## Release History - 20 Dec 2023 at 12:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea49ba17-34fd-40c2-b688-27acef6810c2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea49ba17-34fd-40c2-b688-27acef6810c2 20th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=76409&B=UKAEA Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
