Section II: Object Of The Contract

II.1) Scope of the procurement

II.1.1) Title: A Network of Ionising Radiation Monitors & Control Software
Reference number: PR20053

II.1.2) Main CPV code:
38341600 - Radiation monitors.


II.1.3) Type of contract: SUPPLIES

II.1.4) Short 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

II.1.6) Information about lots
This contract is divided into lots: No

II.1.7) Total value of the procurement (excluding VAT)
Value: 600,000

Currency:GBP

II.2.4) Description of the procurement: Description of the procurement: 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. Also, a connection to accelerator or beamline systems will be possible via a dual relay output with set points configurable to the dose rate or dose accumulated values (either for gammas, neutrons or total values).

II.2.5) Award criteria:
Quality criterion - Name: Quality / Weighting: 70

Cost criterion - Name: Price / Weighting: 30


II.2.11) Information about options
Options: Yes
Description of these options:The Contracting Authority also request the options of the following, that may be purchased in addition to the core requirements;

Additional Trolley Gamma and Neutron detectors
Maintenance contract – time based
Gamma probes stands
Neutron probes stands
Calibration Sources Pack (gamma & neutron)
Spare parts

It is anticipated that the options may be valued at approximately £260,000.00 to £300,000.00 GBP excluding VAT. These would be in addition to the core requirement, also estimated at £260,000.00 to £300,000.00 GBP excluding VAT. Therefore, the potential total opportunity value, for both the core requirement and the optional requirements is estimated from £520,000.00 to £600,000.00 GBP excluding VAT
