Notice Title

PS23185 - RAF082/2223 - Mapping Product Regulations to Trade and Production Dictionaries - RFP (CF)

Notice Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a competitive procurement exercise. Brief Description of Requirement The aim of this work is to map consumer product regulations to a number of different trade and production dictionaries. Specifically, the objectives for this research are to: 1) Map the products under these regulations to trade and production data dictionaries, including Harmonised Standard (HS) and Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes (latest editions). These are used to categorise products in trade data, used internationally to identify common or similar products; 2) Map these regulations across to manufacturing datasets (the ONS ProdCom publication), which use a different product code structure; 3) Identify the types of businesses (sectors) most likely to be involved in the manufacture or retail of products captured under the regulations, using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) framework; 4) Assess whether products that are mapped to regulations, require conformity assessment from a third-party body (known as Approved Bodies or Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs)). We intend to use the outputs from this project for a number of purposes including decision making on sector interventions, support policy developments including the Product Safety Review, and provide an improved evidence base for trade negotiations.
