This service, vital for ensuring the safety of ONR inspectors from ionising radiation, involves supplying and monitoring personal dosemeters for approximately 450 personnel. The procurement, conducted by Restricted Procedure, is currently in the tender stage, with key dates including the tender period ending on 11 September 2024 and the contract period running from 1 November 2024 to 31 December 2027. The tender is situated in the United Kingdom, and more information can be accessed through the ONR Procurement Portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS) providers, particularly those specialising in dosimetry assessment, coordination, and record-keeping services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from a potential long-term contract, boosting their business growth by partnering with a prominent regulatory authority. Companies with expertise in the provision of dosimetric services and experience in the nuclear industry are well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice ONR inspectors undertake inspections of all UK nuclear licensed sites, and dutyholders who transport radioactive material, which provides for the potential exposure to a wide energy spectrum of ionising radiation. As a result, ONR is looking to manage the risks of exposure of its employees carrying out their duties. It is ONR policy that all inspectors and visiting staff (around 450 people) are issued with personal dosemeters (currently Thermoluminescent Dosemeter (TLD)), which are monitored quarterly to identify exposure to ionising radiation. This is to ensure doses are controlled, do not exceed any internal or regulatory dose limits that would require individuals to become a classified person under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17), and to ensure doses remain As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). We are therefore seeking to put in place a new contract with a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS) provider to provide dosimetry assessment, co-ordination and record keeping services for ONR personnel, for a period of three years, with an option to extend in annual increments for a further two years (i.e. 3+1+1).
