Future Cyclamen: Early Market Engagement PIN

The Authority is embarking on early market engagement ahead of a formal procurement to put in place new contracts to support and enhance its Cyclamen capability.

The future contracts would be for service and maintenance of Fixed and Non-Fixed Radiological and Nuclear (RN) Detection equipment in support of Cyclamen, including the IT platform and infrastructure. It may also include some provision to enable potential supply of hardware and associated software.

Cyclamen is the UK's RN border detection system that plays a key part in protecting the UK border and is a critical part of HMG’s Nuclear Security Strategy as well as CONTEST, the Government's counter-terrorism strategy. It is a joint OSCT and Border Force initiative: OSCT is responsible for the counter-terrorism policy and risk and Border Force operates the capability at the Border.

Interested potential suppliers should visit the Home Office's eSourcing portal (Jaggaer) and look for: "PQQ_345 01 - Future Cyclamen: Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for Early Market Engagement".

You should complete and submit the NDA following which we will invite your organisation to the Jaggaer site that contains our Early Market Engagement document with more details about the Authority's requirements and how to participate.

We also have a virtual supplier event planned to take place on Thursday 23 March 2023, subject to confirmation. Once you are fully registered at our Jaggaer microsite, your organisation will be invited to the supplier event when the date and time have been confirmed.

Please note this is not a call for competition but start of early market engagement.
