About this contract

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Technical Authority (CBRNTA), part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to EntServ UK Limited for the provision of combined In-Service Support (ISS) services for the Health Physics Laboratory (HPL) and Dosimetry Data Management System (DDMS). The contract will have an initial term of two years, with options to extend for up to three further periods of one year each, and an estimated total value of £1.5 million inclusive of VAT. It is considered that this contract can be awarded under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because the direct award justification in paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 applies. The proposed contract will consolidate two existing contracts currently provided by EntServ UK Limited into a single contract. The services under the proposed contract represent a continuation of the existing In-Service Support services for HPL and DDMS. EntServ UK Limited currently supports both capabilities through the same engineering, software development and project management team and holds the specialist technical and system knowledge required to maintain the integrated HPL/DDMS capability.
