## Summary

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has awarded a contract for the provision of independent technical verification of GE Healthcare Limited (Amersham) delicensing proposals and claims. The procurement method used was limited, with the contract being awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract's total value is £225,000 and was signed on 30th November 2023. The supplier for this contract is UKHSA.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses with expertise in technical support services, particularly in the nuclear industry. The contract involves radiological surveys, sampling, and assessment to facilitate the delicensing of a nuclear site, meeting the UK Government's priorities for safe nuclear decommissioning. Companies with unique expertise in nuclear regulatory matters and radiological safety would be well-suited to compete for this contract via negotiated procurement process.

## Notice

ONR procedure (NS-PER-IN-005) requires additional suitably qualified and experienced (SQEP) expertise to provide independent radiological surveys, sampling and assessment with respect to the 'no danger' criteria (Section 3(12) and Section 5(15)(a) Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (NIA 1965)). This procedure details the requirements of how a licensed nuclear site (or a part thereof) may be removed from the licensing requirements of the NIA 1965. GE Healthcare Limited (Amersham) nuclear licensed site will require delicensing in order to meet business needs. Delicensing reduces the radiological hazard and risk at the site; therefore ONR considers delicensing proposals as part of its enabling regulatory approach. Delicensing and site remediation meet the UK Government's priority of delivering safe and secure nuclear decommissioning. However, for ONR to meet its responsibilities when assessing a delicensing proposal it requires technical support
