Notably, NDT MainCal Limited was selected as the supplier following the tendering process, which saw submissions conclude by 23rd June 2025. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in radiation protection services and related safety compliance offerings. Service providers that can deliver expertise in advisory roles, particularly those familiar with the regulatory frameworks governing ionising radiation in the UK, are well-positioned to engage in similar opportunities with public sector bodies like the SPS. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as NDT MainCal Limited have demonstrated competitiveness in this sector, suggesting a favourable environment for agile, specialised firms to leverage their niche capabilities in advising government agencies. The open procurement method underscores the accessibility of such contracts, allowing for diverse participation and innovation in public safety services. ## Notice THE Scottish Prison Service requires the Provision of a Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) to assist them in complying with Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017.
