Brief Description of Requirement The Office for Product Safety & Standards (OPSS), a Directorate within the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has commissioned a study to support the development of its information and evidence base for the regulation of construction products. OPSS is developing a wide-ranging evidence basis for construction products by developing a research strategy and commissioning projects that aim to provide a better understanding of the sector and OPSS's role within it. We have to date commissioned projects analysing specific parts of the system, such as supply chains and a review of incident databases. What is evident is that the construction product landscape is complex and that understanding the current environment will be key to ensure that construction products can be effectively regulated. Therefore, as part of that continued knowledge building, OPSS have developed a project that aims to understand the construction product regulations in more depth by looking at the past and the present. This project aims to: - To understand the past and present with regards to the current regulatory regime (CPR 2011) - To understand and summarise the proposals of the EU with regards to the current CPR regime ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdbc4b8-9522-49c2-a4c4-fb36e2c21735 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | 16 Nov 2023 - 31 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £61,530 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BEIS | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HARLOW CONSULTING SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Nov 2023 at 14:41 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdbc4b8-9522-49c2-a4c4-fb36e2c21735 - 28 Nov 2023 at 09:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdbc4b8-9522-49c2-a4c4-fb36e2c21735 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdbc4b8-9522-49c2-a4c4-fb36e2c21735 28th November 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8adfe0f1-7a89-40e6-8634-892e849fd96e n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
