## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has initiated a tender opportunity titled "Provision of an Investigation into Additional Risk Mitigation Options to reduce Environmental Exposure of Pesticides in Surface Water via Drainflow and to Groundwater." The procurement falls under the industry category of Pesticides and Environmental Services. The contract value is £30,000 with a tender closing date of 29th September 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2022 and conclude on 30th June 2023. HSE, based in BOOTLE, England, is the contracting authority for this open procedure tender.

This tender by HSE presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services and risk mitigation to contribute towards reducing pesticide exposure in surface water and groundwater. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this tender process. By proposing innovative solutions, businesses can potentially influence the availability and resistance of safer products in the UK market, aligning with environmental protection goals set by HSE. Participating businesses can access tender documents through the HSE In-Tend supplier e-procurement portal to engage in the procurement process and help address critical environmental challenges.

## Notice

This project is a feasibility study looking into additional risk mitigation options to reduce environmental exposure of pesticides in surface water via drainflow and to groundwater. The project involves exploring additional options for risk mitigation, for example, but not limited to, the introduction of restrictions on drained land, land vulnerable to groundwater leaching, individual soil type restrictions (for example based on textural class, pH, clay or organic carbon content), regional or catchment scale restrictions, or any other practical options to reduce pesticides reaching surface and groundwater. Fundamentally this could allow more safe products to remain on the UK market, potentially helping to address key issues such as availability and resistance. Note that consideration of options to mitigate surface water exposure via spray drift are outside the remit of this study. 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
