This requirement is with regards to detection equipment and related support services, however this component forms part of a larger, nationwide RN Detection capability which are and will be subject to separate commercial arrangements. The Home Office seeks to engage with potential providers for their views on the following potential requirements: • Establishment of a common, consistent service for the support and maintenance of fixed and mobile radiological/nuclear detection technologies, operational before March 2018. • Replacement of a number of lanes of fixed detectors with a semi-portable detection solution that incorporates Gamma spectroscopy before March 2018. • Make provision for the trial, deployment and introduction into service of enhancements to existing detection systems and new fixed and mobile detection technologies. • As part of the Strategic Service Integration Project, the transition of the existing service to a disaggregated services model of which detection is a part of the whole system.
