This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions required by 12:00 noon (UK time) on 26th May 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 18th July 2022 and will run until 17th July 2027. Bidders will need to submit their applications through the UK Parliament's e-procurement portal, adhering to the guidelines for document uploads, as late tenders will not be accepted. The location for the service provision is London, UK, with a postal code of SW1A 0AA. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in safety consultancy and compliance management, particularly those experienced in high-voltage and low-voltage systems, steam and pressure systems, confined space operations, and safety documentation auditing. The ability to manage assessments and undertake safety rule reviews will be crucial for competing in this tender. Companies with a proven track record in similar services or those looking to expand into this niche market will find this a valuable opportunity to establish a foothold in the public sector. ## Notice The supplier will be required to manage the assessments, appointment and re-appointment of new and existing Authorised Persons (AP's) using the current Safety Rules to ensure on-going compliance. The disciplines involved include HV; LV (complex systems and generation); Steam and Pressure Systems; Confined Spaces; POL (35 second fuel oil); work at height and on roofs; and access to and work in confined and restricted spaces. They will also undertake audits of the AP's and the use of the safety documentation and report to Parliamentary Estates stating how compliantly it is being operated and managed and identifying aspects requiring improvement. The Authorised Engineers will review recent examples of safety documentation raised by AP's and will report on these in terms of their accuracy completeness and adequacy to meet the requirements of the Safety Rules. The appointed Consultancy will also undertake a fundamental review of the existing Safety Rules, Procedures, Permit to Work Systems and documentation. It is anticipated that this review will identify changes to the Safety Rules, Documentation and Procedures and result in them being more consistent and easier to use. The forms and supplementary documents by which are an integral part of the system documentation are also to be reviewed.
