## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the "THIRD PARTY COVID-19 SPOT CHECK ACTIVITY" initiated by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) based in Bootle, England. This contracting opportunity falls under the category of public security and law enforcement services, with a total value of £1,600,000. The contract period commenced on 16th September 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2021. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method in line with PPN 01/20 provisions. The contract is currently complete, with a significant focus on increasing compliance checks related to COVID-19 across Great Britain.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the services sector, especially those with capabilities in compliance, safety inspections, and public health monitoring. Companies looking to expand into government contracts might find this particularly relevant, especially those capable of providing geographic coverage and flexible workforce solutions for COVID-secure checks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to explore participation, as the HSE is seeking multiple partners rather than a single supplier, which could lead to collaborative opportunities in this essential field.

## 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.
