## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal has awarded the contract for the "Achieving Excellence in Health and Safety Programme" to Faithful & Gould. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is from January 4, 2023, to March 31, 2023. The tender period ended on December 1, 2022. The procurement is classified under health and safety consultancy services.

This procurement opportunity to support the review of high-risk activities by the Environment Agency presents a chance for businesses with expertise in programme and risk management, heavy plant operations, and working on or near water environments. Businesses with knowledge of ISO 45001 and relevant legislation such as PUWER and LOLER would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this contract.

## Notice

The Environment Agency's Achieving Excellence in Health & Safety Programme has been in place for a year following the Shepperton Review, and after the death of our colleague in early 2021. Last year, twenty high risk activities which the Environment Agency routinely undertakes, were identified as being of particular concern and required a review of their operation and a review of the competency of the people undertaking the operation, for example ensuring that any training and legislative requirements were valid. This contract is being let to enable additional expertise to be bought in to support the review of the operation of these top 20 activities and any cross-cutting issues which have emerged as result of the reviews. We are seeking in particular expertise in programme and risk management and also specific technical expertise in areas such as heavy plant and working on or near water environments. We are moving towards accreditation with ISO 45001 and therefore knowledge of this system for management of risk would also be useful, as would specific expertise in relevant legislation such as PUWER and LOLER.
