## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Health & Safety Executive, revolves around the "MSD Scoping Exercise" aimed at assessing the implications of changes in work environments and practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The procurement falls under the services category and is classified as a feasibility study and advisory service. The tender was completed on 3rd March 2021, with a contract value of £49,818.63 and a contract period running from 10th March 2021 to 31st March 2021. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with delivery directed to Bootle, England.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in occupational health and safety, ergonomic assessments, and workplace consultancy. Companies capable of conducting thorough evaluations of remote working practices and their impacts on MSDs would be well-suited to participate. The growing emphasis on workforce health management in the aftermath of the pandemic also suggests a widening market for businesses ready to adapt and provide innovative solutions in this area.

## Notice

The contractor is expected to consider the implications of any changes in working environment and practices during or after the COVID 19 pandemic on the risk of work-related MSDs (both positive and negative) and its control. The areas considered should include, but not be restricted to: * The impact of working at home, or remote working, on the prevalence and control of MSDs. This should also consider any associated changes in behaviour. * Increasing activity and demands in work sectors such as on-line retail (warehousing, driving etc) and the potential impact on MSDs. * Non-work related contributory factors such as increased inactivity during lockdown and risk of MSDs.
