## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is buying diagnostics equipment for the LIBRTI facility project. The requirement covers high-purity germanium detectors, plus multi-channel analysers and high-voltage power supplies. These are specialist radiation measurement, spectroscopy and nuclear evaluation instruments, including gamma-counting equipment. The goods procurement is managed by the Authority, based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The requirement is organised around two product areas: high-purity germanium detectors, and multi-channel analysers with high-voltage power supplies. Suppliers of commercial off-the-shelf radiation detection, spectroscopy, nuclear instrumentation or associated laboratory equipment are likely to find this relevant. The equipment will support diagnostics for the LIBRTI facility rather than general office, construction or routine support services.

The procurement reached tender: the UK Atomic Energy Authority invited offers through an open procedure. Bidders could submit electronically in English. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 11:00, and offers by 7 October 2026 at 11:00. The Authority expected to complete its award decision by 22 October 2026. The contract is due to run from 23 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £550,000 including VAT. The opportunity is above the relevant threshold. Evaluation is weighted 60% to quality and 40% to price, with further detail in the tender documents. The tender identifies two equipment lots covering detectors and analysers with power supplies, and indicates that the requirement is suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide and support commercial off-the-shelf radiation diagnostics equipment for a nuclear research facility. Relevant capability includes high-purity germanium detector systems, multi-channel analysers, high-voltage power supplies, gamma counters, spectroscopy devices and wider radiation detection and analysis apparatus. Businesses should be able to offer technically credible equipment against the Authority’s specification, coordinate supply across the required product areas and meet the short delivery period for the LIBRTI facility project. Specialist manufacturers, authorised distributors, laboratory instrumentation suppliers and capable SMEs may be well placed to compete. Quality carries greater weight than price in evaluation, so suppliers will need to demonstrate how their proposed equipment meets the technical requirements, not simply offer a low-cost product.
