The tender, titled "PHE_Scientific - Purchase of Radiation Survey Instrument," falls under the category of goods with a specific focus on radiation monitors. The procurement is at the Tender stage, and the deadline for submissions is set for 18 January 2019, with a total contract value of £17,000. This process is being conducted via a limited procurement method, specifically a competitive quotation under threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment and environmental monitoring technologies. Companies that manufacture or supply radiation monitors, portable surveying instruments, or offer related services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. In addition, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may provide innovative solutions that align with the rigorous requirements outlined by PHE for the delivery and support of this specialised equipment. ## Notice PHE requires a portable gamma-ray spectrometer suitable for contamination survey work and environmental monitoring. The instrument must be ergonomically suitable for field use (featuring ruggedised weatherproof design, portability, ease of operation, readability of displays etc) and produce real time results as well as storing spectra for later download at the base laboratory via standard transfer protocols. The instrument should allow calibration against a range of radionuclides including radium-226 to an ISO 17025 accredited standard. The detector must be of suitable sensitivity for environmental applications (equivalent to 3" x 3" NaI(Tl) or better) with automatic stabilisation. Measurement positions must be recorded by in-built GPS and available for download with associated spectra/readings via Bluetooth, wifi or by cable connection. It must be capable of up to 8 hours continuous performance on internal battery power and have the capability for re-charging from 240V mains or 12V car supplies. Flexibility of application (environmental dose rate, contamination survey mapping, in-field gamma spectrometry. All necessary hardware and software component must be supplied. This is a one-off purchase, however it is intended that service, support and supply of bespoke consumables (if applicable) will be covered by this agreement for the lifetime of the equipment or until PHE re-tenders the requirement. This requirement is for the Public Health England Radiochemistry department at the Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards in Glasgow, Scotland. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99ccf209-789a-4e6e-817f-0f465e6dbe63 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2019 - 1 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £17,000 | | 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 | PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND | | Locality | COLINDALE | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW9 5EQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI71 Barnet | | Local authority | Barnet | | Electoral ward | Colindale South | | Westminster constituency | Hendon | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38341600 - Radiation monitors ## Release History - 24 Dec 2018 at 11:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99ccf209-789a-4e6e-817f-0f465e6dbe63 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99ccf209-789a-4e6e-817f-0f465e6dbe63 24th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
