## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is currently seeking tenders for analytical laboratory services to detect, measure, and report on radioactivity levels, with a contract value of £350,000. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to laboratory services, and is based in Swindon, South East England. The tendering process is open, with a deadline for submissions set for 14 April 2022. The awarded contract will run for a period of four years, with the potential for two additional one-year extensions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specializing in laboratory analysis, particularly those experienced in gamma spectroscopy and radionuclide analysis. Businesses that can fulfil the quality and price criteria outlined in the procurement may find this a valuable chance to engage with a prominent research institution, potentially expanding their portfolio and capabilities within the scientific services sector.

## Notice

UKRI-STFC requires an independent accredited laboratory to carry out destructive analysis for a range of radionuclides and gamma spectrometry on smaller sub samples which require a lower Minimal Detectable Amount (MDA). Most of the samples will require analysis by gamma spectroscopy with some destructive analysis. Dependent on the sample analysis requests might frequently include 55Fe, 63Ni, 3H, 14C and gross alpha beta. The samples will have a typical range of activities ranging from samples of out of scope limits to Intermediate Level Wastes (ILW).
