The procurement stage was in the Award phase, with the contract period starting on 9th February 2023 and ending on 30th August 2023. The tender involved environmental risk assessment services related to pesticides and falls under the industry category of Pesticides and Environmental services.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in providing environmental risk assessment services in the pesticides industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suited for their capabilities. The Health & Safety Executive, as the buying organisation, sought expertise in assessing the risks of biopesticides and naturally occurring pesticides. Eligible businesses should have experience in researching pesticide effects on non-target organisms, conducting risk assessments, and defining protection goals. The project location is in the United Kingdom, with deadlines for the final report submission and relevant experience requirements outlined in the tender document. ## Notice This project involves reviewing the environmental risk assessment for biopesticides and 'low risk'/naturally occuring pesticides (see section 2 for background). The contractor will need to produce a report reviewing the existing guidance available (e.g. GB, EU, US EPA and 'around the World') along with the appropriate data requirements. There are also OECD working groups considering biopesticides. The report should then propose a viable method for risk assessment of biopesticides/naturally occuring/"low risk" substances considering potential obstacles/gaps in existing guidance (see section 2 noting the list is not exhaustive). It should include reference to potential protection goals (i.e. the magnitude and frequency of effects that are acceptable (and why it is acceptable) as well as the degree of uncertainty that is also acceptable.
