Temperature Monitoring & Calibration Systems Market Engagement
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
North West London Pathology (NWLP) is a partnership between Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It is hosted by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and operates as a jointly owned pathology network with a hub-and-spoke model across seven hospital sites. NWLP delivers approximately 36 million tests annually, supports around 280 GP practices across the North West London Integrated Care System, and serves a population of more than 2.8 million NWLP delivers services from laboratories located at Hillingdon Hospital, Mount Vernon Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, West Middlesex University Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, and Charing Cross Hospital. The service supports acute, specialist, and community care, providing disciplines including Blood Sciences, Infection and Immunity, Cellular Pathology, Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, and a range of specialist and referral services. Due to the scale and breadth of these services, temperature monitoring requirements vary significantly, ranging from support to acute blood transfusion and clinical services, through the storage of blood components, reagents and consumables used in sensitive and critical testing procedures, to the long term storage of clinical material. Operating across this geographically dispersed, multi site estate, NWLP manages a complex laboratory operating model to ensure safe, timely, and high quality diagnostic testing. As part of ongoing service development and transformation, NWLP is developing a business case to review options for the procurement of a UKAS compliant temperature monitoring solution capable of supporting its multi site operating model.

HHFTVF Spectropyrometer Purchase
UK Atomic Energy Authority
The HIVE facility uses a unique spectropyrometer, that measures surface temperature without emissivity data and includes uncertainty. We seek another for the HHFTVF facility. This equipment is to be used on a high heat flux test facility which primarily, though not exclusively, uses induction heating to heat metallic samples in a vacuum. The equipment is required to provide a non-contact temperature measurement through a window of the vacuum vessel. The key point is that for the surface of interest, the emissivity, emissivity profile with temperature/wavelength/surface finish etc. is unknown and/or spatio-temporally changing. The equipment needs to measure surface temperature without the emissivity being inputted by the user. We need this as typical non-contact temperature (thermography) measurements require accurate knowledge of the emissivity of a surface to provide an accurate temperature measurement, but we do not have this information for the surfaces of interest. A detailed list of requirements can be seen in the attached documents, which can be downloaded for viewing.

Isotope Adjustment System- Thermal Cycling Absorption Process
UK Fusion Energy Ltd
UKFE is looking to develop the ability of TCAP within a Fuel Cycle to adjust the isotopic composition of tritium, deuterium and separate protium of continuous mixed isotopic feed within the STEP Fuel Cycle to ensure the delivery of STEP within the 2040s.

To address this, AFBI will engage external Suppliers to undertake a planned three-stage decommissioning process of the defunct facilities. This procurement competition is for stage 2 - 'Monitoring', which requires the carrying out of a Comprehensive Radiological Monitoring Survey (both direct and indirect when required) of the facilities, and provision of a detailed Survey Report of the survey’s findings, including; - the identification of any areas with above background levels, or clearance levels of contamination - a set of recommendation pathways for decontamination and/or disposal in relation to the findings. - Delivery of a presentation of their report and findings to AFBI following the Monitoring exercise. As outlined in this Instructions to Tenderers document, a Supplier for the completion of Stage 2 will be identified by the Competitive Flexible Procedure. This will include an initial Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and Conditions of Participatio
