The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the contract value estimated at £45 million. It is anticipated that the contract notice will be published in August 2022, with awards expected to be made early in 2023, enabling commencement of the contracts by 1st April 2023. The contracts, which will be divided into four lots, will be open to a range of service providers with the possibility of consortium submissions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in radiation protection services, calibration, and maintenance of measurement equipment. Companies specialising in instruments for measuring radiation, calibration services, and radiation dosimetry would find this tender particularly relevant. Additionally, businesses capable of providing support for radiometric characterisation and maintenance of radiation protection instruments can leverage this contract to expand their operational portfolio and client base within the nuclear decommissioning sector. ## Notice Sellafield (SL) is intending to tender certain requirements needed to support the Radiometrics department and associated departments.
