Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Assessment of drift exposures to edge of field surface waterbodies." This project falls under the category of "Research and development services and related consultancy services" (CPV code: 73000000) and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a direct procurement through a single tender action, which is below the threshold. The contract period started on 14th October 2024 and will end on 13th April 2025, with a total contract value of £26,500. The tender process aimed to validate the UK drift curve by gathering bespoke drift trial data to better understand the impact of in-field spray applications on edge of field surface water bodies, fitting within HSE's initiative to review Aquatic Buffer Zones.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural research, environmental consultancy, and related services. As the procurement method was a direct award to Silsoe Spray applications unit limited, this highlights potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in future similar tenders by the HSE. The project is particularly pertinent for those adept in developing and validating environmental models and field data collection, providing an avenue for such businesses to showcase their expertise and secure further contracts in the research and development sector.

Contract Summary

A bespoke drift trial data set to validate the existing work developing the UK drift curve. There is a lack of available field data that assess drift exposures from in field applications. This trial will enable better understanding of the contribution of in-field spray applications to the overall drift exposures in edge of field surface water bodies (and off crop areas). To support HSE's Aquatic Buffer Zone Review a project was undertaken to develop a UK spray drift exposure curve that was representative of UK practice in arable fields. The outcome of that previous project is a proposed UK drift curve which has been generated based upon available edge of field drift data and modelling output using the Silsoe Spray Drift Model (SiMOD) and this project follows on from that work.
