Notice Information
Notice Title
Provision of an Integrated Safety and Risk Management System (Organisation and Marine)
Notice Description
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) seeks to procure a comprehensive, integrated software system and associated services for the management of Health, Safety, and Enterprise-Wide Risk. The required solution will support and unify operations across the NOC's shore-based sites in Southampton and Liverpool, and its two ocean-going research vessels, RRS James Cook and RRS Discovery. The primary objective is to acquire a solution that ensures full compliance with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code for our marine operations and the ISO 45001 standard for our shore-based occupational health and safety management system. This is a call for participation not competition.
Planning Information
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to inform its requirements for an Integrated Health, Safety, and Risk Management System. This exercise will take the form of a capability assessment. The purpose of this engagement is to understand the solutions available in the market. This is not a call for competition rather participation in a pretender SMT exercise. In order to take part in this capability assessment please email NOC_Tenders@noc.ac.uk no later than 25th of July. We will then provide you a copy of the Capability Assessment to complete. Following the capability assessment the NOC may look to identify a cross section of the market who may be invited to provide additional demonstrations / SMT response questionnaires prior to tender finalisation.
