## Summary

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), has completed a procurement process for the supply of a bespoke TLD Wrapper machine intended for the Chilton campus in Didcot, serving the Personal Dosimetry Service. The process, initiated as a tender, utilised a direct award procedure due to technical reasons, with only MGE Automation Limited able to fulfil this specific equipment requirement. The contract, valued at £145,062.00 gross, was awarded with the signing date of 15th April 2026, extending until 30th December 2026. The process, now in the award stage, concentrates on goods within the industry category of wrapping machines.

This procurement presents growth opportunities specifically for businesses specialising in highly technical equipment manufacturing, potentially leading to future tenders by the UKHSA or similar government organisations needing bespoke solutions. The direct award approach was facilitated by a preliminary market engagement notice aiming to identify suppliers with the technical capability to supply bespoke machinery. While MGE Automation Limited is currently the supplier, similar small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in producing specialised dosimetry equipment could find similar opportunities to explore in the public sector, where technical exclusivity remains a competitive advantage.
