The exposure of personnel to ionising radiation poses a significant health risk. Therefore, in accordance with IRR2017 and MoD policy, there is an enduring requirement to monitor and control ionising radiation exposure of staff working within the NNPP. The NNPP includes nuclear submarine operations at sea and alongside. To comply with this policy and with IRR2017, suitable dosimetry measurement equipment and a data management framework needs to be in place to ensure that radiation exposure risks to individuals are kept As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). This system is currently in use at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde (HMNB Clyde) and on-board the fleet of Nuclear-powered Submarines. It is noted that this procurement is exempt from the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, on grounds of National Security under Regulation 7(1)(a) of the DSPCR in conjunction with Regulation 6(3A). Elements of this project require specific personnel from a potential supplier, and/or agents in the Supply Chain, to be residents of the UK or Gibraltar, with appropriate Personal Security. Although the procurement will be managed using the principles of DSPCR 2011. The potential Supplier also needs to hold, or be willing to obtain, List X status prior to contract award. The current system has been in service since 2016 and is in the process of being upgrade, the new DDMS is due to be accepted into Service during the first quarter of 2022 and this contract is expected to include the transition of the upgraded equipment. This will be detailed in the Invitation to Tender documents, following completion of the Supplier Selection exercise (via a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire) The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the current and upgraded DDMS (IT hardware and software) is Mirion Group Ltd and a Software Agreement will be required with Mirion within the initial 6 months of the contract.
