All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS), on behalf of The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wishes to appoint a supplier to undertake Research into the Construction Products Supply Chain. OPSS was recently announced as the new national regulator for construction products (CP). Whilst operating in shadow form, OPSS is aiming to develop an evidence basis that help us shape our role within the building safety system. There is a wide range of products covered by the construction products regulations (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/designated-standards-construction-products).

The proposed research builds on previously commissioned research (BIS Research Paper NO. 118: Trade Credit in the UK Construction Industry: an Empirical Analysis of Construction Contractor Financial Positioning and Performance; BIS Research Paper NO.145- Supply Chain Analysis into the Construction Industry: A Report for the Construction Industrial Strategy). As the national regulator for construction products, OPSS will work closely with the Building Safety Regulator and local regulators, to promote, encourage and enforce good practice in the construction industry. OPSS will be responsible for ensuring construction products are the right quality and that robust, effective regulatory action is taken against serious weaknesses and poor practice. The project will investigate the cradle to installation supply chains process to provide a deeper understanding of the market. This research project will focus on a selected range of products: insulation, cladding, fire doors, fire barriers and cables. A review of insulation materials supply chains in the EU outlined glass and stone wool insulation represents 58% of the European thermal insulation market (European Commission, 2018). One of the aims of this research is to understand the size, distribution and supply chains system in the UK for a selected range of products, including insulation.
