## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) is inviting tenders for a project titled "The Provision of an Investigation into the Effects of the Significance of Degrees of Ethoxylation and Propoxylation on Physio-Chemical Properties of Formulations." This tender falls within the pesticides industry category and is focused on the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with key dates including the tender submission deadline on 22nd January 2025 and the project contract period from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025. This is an open procedure with an estimated contract value of £25,000 GBP.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in chemical research and development, specifically within the formulation of pesticides. Businesses with expertise in physio-chemical properties and regulatory schemes will find this project particularly suitable. Engaging in this contract can provide significant business growth through collaboration with a prominent government body such as the HSE and potentially open doors to further contracts in the future. The open procedure ensures a fair and competitive procurement process, encouraging skilled businesses to participate and showcase their innovative solutions.

## Notice

The project involves investigating the impact of altering the dEO/dPO of a co-formulant on overall physio-chemical properties of pesticide formulations. This can be achieved by researching and reviewing current literature, open access data and information from other countries' regulatory schemes. The work should aim to understand to what level the degree of propoxylation and ethoxylation can differ between alternative co-formulants to not influence the physical and chemical properties of the PPP. Where particular formulation types are considered, it should be ensured that results and solutions can be generalised to other formulations. Further information can be found within the Tender Information Pack. 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
