Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) is seeking proposals for the provision of mechanical and electrical engineering drawings crucial for the mechanical testing of explosives, including detonators and relays. The tender, titled "Provision of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Drawings for the Mechanical Testing of Detonators, Detonating Cords and Relays and High Explosives," is classified under the industry category of hazard protection and control consultancy services. This open procurement process is currently active, with a tender submission deadline set for 13 January 2022. The subsequent contract will commence on 1 February 2022 and is expected to conclude by 31 March 2022. Bidders should note that the estimated value of the contract is £12,000.

This procurement opportunity is ideal for engineering firms and consultants skilled in designing and producing technical drawings or assessments related to explosives and safety mechanisms. Businesses with expertise in engineering design services, especially those familiar with EU regulations and standards for civil explosives, would be particularly well-suited to participate. As the contract is open to SMEs, smaller firms that can demonstrate relevant experience may find this an excellent chance to expand their portfolio and collaborate with a significant public sector authority.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Drawings for the Mechanical Testing of Detonators, Detonating Cords and Relays and High Explosives

Notice Description

As a result of EU Exit, the UK civil Explosives conformity Assessment Body (EAB) has been required to expand the range of products it is able to conformity assess against relevant standards. The UK's market surveillance activities for civil explosives and pyrotechnics (HSE and LA responsibilities), although unchanged by EU Exit, may also be under increased scrutiny resulting in changes to the types and / or volume of work in this area. To address both these issues new facilities and equipment are required at HSE Buxton. The Science Division has a requirement to mechanically test explosives and their associated parts as detailed in the various designated standards detailed below:- Explosives for Civil uses - Detonating cords and safety fuses, BS EN 13630. Explosives for Civil uses - High Explosives BS EN 13631. Explosives for Civil uses - Detonators and relays, BS EN 13763. To enable this, we require a Contractor to design and produce drawings to enable the test equipment to be manufactured. Each test piece is stand alone and must be mounted/fitted to enable an operator to operate the test equipment safety; this may require the addition of blast/fragment protection devices. The Contractor will provide engineering drawings for the following mechanical tests which will then enable the equipment to be manufactured and the tests to be undertaken. Additional information: All tender documents are available via the HSE In-Tend supplier e-procurement portal. All responses and requests for clarification must be submitted via the portal. Registration is free of charge and can be completed via the following link: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hse
