Crop , Oil & Liquid Sampling 6 months extension

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) requires a service to carry out ad hoc liquid and oil analysis, routine sampling and analysis of grass, milk and foodstuffs for levels of tritium radioactivity in order to assess the effect of its operations on the local environment. Normal operations of the UKAEA facilities lead to very small levels of tritium in the environment near the site perimeter; consequently, the analysis method must be able to detect and quantify very low levels of activity in these samples. The incumbent is being awarded for 6 months extension on the current contract before tender is completed to find suitable supplier .
