Monitoring ionizing radiation under the national environmental monitoring programme in 2026–2027 – Task 3: monitoring cesium-137 concentrations in soil

Summary

The contract concerns monitoring ionizing radiation in 2026–2027, focusing on determining cesium-137 and naturally occurring radionuclides in soil. The work includes collecting at least 134 soil samples in six Polish regions at 130 monitoring points, including 130 samples from the surface layer and four samples from a deeper soil layer, followed by analysis using an approved semiconductor gamma spectrometry method. The contract must be completed by 22 November 2027, and the tender must be submitted electronically by 21 August 2026. Participation requires evidence of the relevant measurement authorizations and methodology, previous experience, at least 150 spectrometric determinations within one year, and a qualified team of at least four people. Price carries a 60% weighting; the number of sampling points and the team’s size and qualifications are also assessed.
