Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
Calibration of RPI ensures that all instruments provide accurate data (as required by Regulation 20, Ionising Radiations Regulations) to maintain a safe working environment.<br/>The current Gamma Calibration Facility system (both hardware and software) is an aging asset; the entire system is no longer supported by the original manufacturer. Due to the age of the equipment, degradation of sources and lack of IT updates, and with no back-up system available, there is an increasing risk of failure, therefore urgent remedial action is required.<br/>To maintain a compliant, calibrating capability an X-ray system is required, and the identified supplier is the only UK/European supplier capable of directly providing a compatible system suitable for RPI calibration in the required timescales.
