## Summary

NPL Management Limited bought a replacement high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy afterloader system, a radiotherapy device used to deliver radiation for dosimetry, calibration, testing and measurement. The equipment replaces an existing afterloader and supports NPL’s radiation metrology and healthcare measurement capabilities. The requirement is for specialist medical equipment rather than general radiotherapy services. NPL Management Limited is based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, and the system is for use in its measurement activities. The procurement was for one replacement system, associated with a single lot. The awarded item is classified as a radiotherapy device.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to ELEKTA LIMITED. The award is active, and the contract is active. It was signed on 22 September 2026; the stated contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 22 September 2026. The contract value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). The procurement was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The requirement was not split into multiple lots. No award criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement details, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be established from the published information.

This award demonstrates demand from NPL Management Limited for specialist HDR brachytherapy equipment used in radiation metrology and healthcare measurement, rather than equipment for routine clinical treatment alone. A credible future competitor would need to supply a replacement afterloader suitable for dosimetry, calibration, testing and measurement, and show that it can support the laboratory’s radiation measurement work. Suppliers with experience supplying radiotherapy devices and integrating them into specialist measurement environments are therefore closest to this requirement. The awarded supplier, ELEKTA LIMITED, is a large supplier, indicating that the contract was placed with an established equipment provider; the published information does not identify specific qualifications, accreditations or technical selection criteria. The recorded contract is a single-system requirement, pointing to a focused equipment supply rather than a multi-lot or broader service programme.
