The Authority is embarking on early market engagement ahead of a formal procurement to put in place new contracts to support and enhance its Cyclamen capability. 
The future contracts would be for service and maintenance of Fixed and Non-Fixed Radiological and Nuclear (RN) Detection equipment in support of Cyclamen, including the IT platform and infrastructure. It may also include some provision to enable potential supply of hardware and associated software.
Cyclamen is the UK's RN border detection system that plays a key part in protecting the UK border and is a critical part of HMG’s Nuclear Security Strategy as well as CONTEST, the Government's counter-terrorism strategy. It is a joint OSCT and Border Force initiative: OSCT is responsible for the counter-terrorism policy and risk and Border Force operates the capability at the Border.
