## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive is conducting a procurement process for the "THIRD PARTY - COVID SPOT CHECK INSPECTION ACTIVITY" project, classified under miscellaneous services, with a total contract value of £1,250,000. This initiative aims to enhance compliance through physical inspections alongside existing telephone checks, particularly across the United Kingdom. The contract period commenced on 16th September 2020 and will conclude on 31st March 2021. This procurement was initiated as a direct award under the provisions of PPN 01/20, with the award made on the same date as the start of the contract.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that can provide flexible and scalable field resources for workplace safety inspections. Companies specialising in safety compliance, auditing services, especially those with the capacity to operate across multiple regions, would be ideal candidates for this contract. Engaging in this project not only allows businesses to contribute to public health efforts amidst the COVID-19 pandemic but also expands their portfolio in public sector engagement and safety management services.

## Notice

In May, the PM announced in Parliament that HSE would be undertaking COVID-19 compliance spot checks. As a result, HSE has put in place new processes to establish compliance via pro-active telephone-based spot checks. We now wish to implement the same process for physical inspections, using third party field resources. This, combined with telephone checks, will allow us to significantly increase the number of spot checks undertaken, allowing us to support LA's, respond rapidly to local outbreaks, focus on high-risk sectors, and scale up our proactive work. Requirements HSE is seeking multiple partners to provide a GB wide outsourced field force that will undertake large volumes of COVID secure workplace checks. We are not relying on a single supplier to have full geographic coverage, but we would require a reasonable footprint, for example beyond one region, and a high level of flexibility.
