What is being bought

Published requirement description

The delivery of Radiation Safety Diagnostics equipment to Culham Campus to enable the fulfilment of the Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation (LIBRTI) programme.

  • No preliminary market engagement: The requirements are 'Off-the-shelf' items, with an established and well-understood supply market. Subsequently, undertaking a preliminary market engagement is neither necessary nor an adequate use of resources, with likely little added value gained in doing so.
