II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) requires a maintenance contract for Radiometric equipment across both the Chilton and Glasgow sites. A fully contracted and on-demand maintenance with Mirion will ensure overview of every machine in the fleet, avoiding unplanned downtime whilst extending lifetime of equipment, which could be detrimental to the on-going projects within UKHSA.<br/><br/>Due to Mirion holding exclusive rights relating to their products, UKHSA believes that Mirion is the only supplier capable of providing the Services required. It would be a near technical impossibility for another supplier to achieve the required performance necessary to maintain and service UKHSA’s Mirion equipment due to a lack of specific know-how and access to the relevant documentation to undertake the required activities.<br/><br/>Therefore a decision has been made to enter into a 60 month agreement with Mirion Technologies for this maintenance and servicing with a 12 + 12 month extension option available.
