## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract for the design and manufacture of radiation monitors for gamma detection outside a concrete test facility shielding. The tender, titled "GB-Swindon: UKRI-2291 Radiation Monitors for Gamma Detection Outside Concrete Test Facility Shielding," was awarded to Berthold Technologies (UK) Ltd. The procurement stage was completed on September 15, 2022. The contract value is £72,047.04 GBP, with a contract period starting on September 16, 2022, and ending on March 31, 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the design, manufacture, quality control testing, and calibration of radiation monitors to expand their operations. Suppliers with expertise in ionising radiation monitoring technologies and software development would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement process involves designing monitors to detect dose rates around an accelerator, enabling warning or power termination based on detected levels. Interested businesses should take note of the contract period and key dates to align their capabilities accordingly.

## Notice

This tender requires the design, manufacture, quality control testing and calibration of an initial eight (8), fixed ionising radiation monitors and applicable control software with the option of purchasing an additional four (4) in the subsequent three years. The intended use for these monitors is in fixed occupied locations outside the primary shielding. In these locations, radiation is heavily attenuated by the accelerator components and shielding structures. The shielding has been designed such that dose rates external to the shield walls of the accelerator should be below 1 uSv/h, however, unexpected beam losses can occur which could lead to unplanned, elevated dose rates above the design criteria outside the enclosure. The purpose of these monitors is to detect dose rates at systematically selected locations around the accelerator and either warn those in the vicinity or terminate power to the accelerator depending on the magnitude of the detected dose rate. Additional information: Procurement Contract Transparency Data: Redacted contract documents will be made available within the next 30 days on the UKRI website at: https://www.ukri.org/about-us/procurement-contract-transparency-data/
