Framework for Provision of Ad-Hoc Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring and Radiological Assessments
Authority: Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Central government)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionSEPA has a requirement to place a contract with external service providers for the provision of Framework for Provision of Ad-Hoc Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring and Radiological Assessments. The framework is required to facilitate the undertaking of additional or complimentary environmental radioactivity monitoring and/or radiological assessments as the need arises. This allows SEPA the flexibility, for example, to investigate any new exposure pathways identified in the radiological habits surveys or compliment the annual environmental radioactivity monitoring programme with additional monitoring data. It also allows SEPA to address any new issues that may arise, for example, responding to environmental incidents or addressing issues relating to land affected by radioactive contamination. This is a standby contract and is in addition to an environmental radioactivity monitoring programme which will be procured separately.
The contract will be for a period of 36 months with the option to extend for an additional 12 months.
