## Summary

The Planning Inspectorate, located in Bristol, is inviting tenders for the provision of a Whistle Blowing Service Partner. This procurement, classified under miscellaneous services, aims to foster a culture of openness and transparency within the organisation. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with the proposal submission deadline set for 12:00 noon on Thursday, 8 September 2022. The contract is valued at £5,000 and will commence on 1 November 2022, lasting until 31 October 2026.

This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in service provision, particularly those with experience in establishing confidential reporting mechanisms. Companies that can demonstrate a strong background in HR services or employee support initiatives are encouraged to apply, as the role focuses on delivering an external whistle blowing service that guarantees staff can voice concerns safely and anonymously.

## Notice

Requirement Background In line with The Planning Inspectorate's HR policy there is a requirement to provide a whistle blowing service to all staff to encourage a culture of openness, transparency and enable all staff to report any perceived issues. There are some instances where staff may not feel comfortable with report issues via the line management chain, but would be comfortable reporting it through the external service. We have operated an external service for 7 years and the current contract expires 31 October 2022. Please see REQUIREMENT AND DELIVERABLES IN ITT FOR SPECIFICATION. Your written proposal and pricing proposal must be submitted to linda.paul@planninginspectorate.gov.uk no later than 12:00 noon Thursday 08 September 2022. Written proposals and pricing received after this deadline will not be accepted.
