Coverage: 9 active published awards; 6 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleNational Nuclear Laboratory ("NNL") intends to award a contract to Sensor Driven who will further develop the concept for a Step-change improvements in sensitivity and scan speed as part of the Gamechangers Innovation Programme. Fraunhofer UK Research Limited has been developing the Hydropmap III and were selected through a response to a Gamechangers Challenge Statement which sought applications for feasibility funding. The aim of this proof-of-concept project is to exploit a unique property of Hydrogen, in combination with the recent emergence of high performance single-photon detectors, to realise a device that will be able to detect this elusive molecule with unprecedented concentration and spatial accuracy over extended stand-off ranges. Following all supplier applications for feasibility funding for the above project, Fraunhofer UK Research Limited was selected as a successful supplier by the funders (Sellafield Ltd). An initial £5,000.00 of feasibility funding was provided, which supported Fraunhofer UK Research Limited to: • Create a Business Case • Generate of a Project Plan • Identify milestones and funding requirements The output of this feasibility study was then further evaluated by Sellafield Ltd and Fraunhofer UK Research Limited have been selected for additional funding for the Proof-of-Concept phase of this project, which will enable them to further develop this concept and technology further. This additional funding to support technology development is due to be awarded following the expiry of this VEAT notice. Gamechangers is an innovation programme which finds solutions for complex nuclear industry challenges and allows the supplier to retain ownership of the Intellectual Property throughout the advancement of technology readiness level. They accept applications and work with all sizes and across all sectors to identify and develop the most promising of technology.
