Tender description

The ISIS facility is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences in the UK Research and Innovation - STFC based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL, the 'Agency') near Oxford. ISIS is an intense pulsed neutron source providing beams of neutrons and muons to enable scientists to study the structure and properties of matter for the benefit of Science and Engineering in the UK and abroad. Our suite of neutron and muon instruments gives unique insights into the properties of materials on the atomic scale. In order to monitor the radiation generated in the different areas of ISIS, the ISIS Health Physics (HP) staff (based at RAL) is looking for an on-line ionising radiation monitor system - RMS for X-ray, gammas and neutrons. This system will allow them to get the radiation dose rate and accumulated dose values in a gamma ray and neutron mixed radiation field at any ISIS location in an on-line basis and populating a time related database

About the buyer

UK Research & Innovation is the non-departmental public body that brings together the seven research councils, Research England and Innovate UK, and runs its own supplier portal. Suppliers register and respond to e-tenders on that portal, an Atamis system. Opportunities are also advertised on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Framework agreements let by the body, including one for office furniture, are published on Find a Tender. Tenders from the national laboratories run by the Science and Technology Facilities Council appear on the same portal. The UK Industrial Liaison Office gives UK companies advance notice of tenders from international facilities such as CERN and ESO.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of UK Research & Innovation's contract awards have been in business services, laboratory and precision equipment and repair and maintenance.
