The tender required submissions through the Delta eSourcing Portal, with a final bidding deadline of 12th January 2022, and a contract valued at approximately £120,000.

Suppliers capable of procuring and delivering a diverse range of products for testing, as defined in the 'OPSS Basket of Goods', are encouraged to compete.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS); Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is an appointed market surveillance authority, responsible for (via the Secretary of State) enforcing the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) within the UK. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to read the text at the following link in order to gain a full understanding of the enforcement services role within OPSS: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-regulation-enforcement-services OPSS is embarking on a testing programme to help it develop a methodology to establish the baseline non-compliance levels of the products it regulates. This project looks to address this evidence gap by conducting full compliance testing on a range of products purchased both online and 'offline'. This tender relates to the 'offline' section of the project and the successful bidder will need to identify popular models, procure, and then arrange delivery for a large number of products to a prearranged testing facility. The 15 product types form the 'OPSS Basket of Goods' and takes inspiration from the ONS Consumer Price Index methodology. This is an important project to OPSS, and the testing results generated from products purchased in 'bricks and mortar' retailers will form a major part of the final analysis. If the project is successful, OPSS could look to examine the possibility of running the project over multiple years to help track the impact of its regulatory interventions over time.
