Published risks
Supplier failure to deliver goods as required is a significant risk, especially given TLD Sachets is the only supplier which can meet our requirements. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) provides personal dosimetry services (PDS) which measure the amount of radiation exposure received by workers. The service is provided to users of ionising radiation in a variety of sectors, e.g. medical and nuclear, which measures workers’ radiation doses by means of dosemeters or “badges”. The Personal Dosimetry Service (PDS) of UKHSA provides measurement and recording of doses to radiation workers. The clients of this commercial service are radiation employers in a variety of sectors (from medical to dental and general industry). Measurements are made by means of personal dosemeters or “badges” that are worn by the employee for a period before being returned to UKHSA for processing and reporting. The service issues over 500,000 dosemeters a year, serves 6,500 employer sites and covers over 90,000 workers. Supplier failure would affect the Personal Dosimetry Services ability to deliver its core radiation monitoring services and would negatively impact radiation workers in several sectors. Given this, the Contract Manager will attend meetings with the supplier to discuss KPIs and the any issues with the goods or their delivery.

Description
Following a lack of alternative supplier interest to earlier notice, UKHSA intends to award a contract to its incumbent supplier for the provision of sachets for radiation dosemeters (extremity finger stalls and head bands). The sachets are required for the Personal Dosimetry Service based at Chilton. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) provides personal dosimetry services (PDS) which measure the amount of radiation exposure received by workers. The service is provided to users of ionising radiation in a variety of sectors, e.g. medical and nuclear, which measures workers’ radiation doses by means of dosemeters or “badges”. UKHSA recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) for these requirements with the only response coming from the incumbent supplier. This indicates that they are the only supplier capable of meeting UKHSA’s requirements. If you feel that you may have a solution which could meet our requirements then we welcome you to make us aware. Please email Science.Tendering@ukhsa.gov.uk Subject: TLD Sachets by no later than 5pm on 9th June 2025.
