## Summary

The procurement process for the "Purchase and Disposal of Radioactive Sources", overseen by the Ministry of Defence, took place in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. This tender pertained to the services industry category, specifically focusing on the disposal of radioactive waste. Originally initiated on 11th July 2025, this open procedure allowed electronic submissions up to 19th August 2025, with an updated evaluation process concluding on 1st September 2025. Unfortunately, the award status was marked as cancelled due to no compliant bids, as of 27th August 2025.

This tender offered a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for organisations experienced in waste disposal services, such as SMEs and VCSEs. The project had a gross value of £147,600, stimulating interest from businesses capable of providing both financially advantageous and technically proficient solutions in line with the most advantageous tender criteria. Though the process was ultimately concluded without award, similar future opportunities could benefit businesses prepared for adherence to stringent technical and financial requirements. Such businesses stand to gain from engaging in tenders involving critical public safety services and central government projects.
