Radiation protection services

Tender description

The Home Office requires a radiation protection advisory service across all ports and airports in the UK and its juxtaposed ports in Europe to ensure it meets its legal requirements under the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999. The requirement also includes provision of associated equipment (and its repair and calibration), a dosimetry service, training of staff on radiation issues, a 24-hour helpline and on-site attendance where requested. It may also include characterisation, transportation and disposal services for radioactive goods. It will be a framework agreement with only one supplier but potentially multiple Contracting Authorities as users of the framework. HMRC have expressed a wish to use the resulting contract. The framework will be available for use by Central Government Departments and their Agencies.
