This procurement falls under the research services industry category, specifically aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of peer checking within various sectors including Medical, Rail, Aviation, and Nuclear. The tender period is set to conclude on 22nd January 2021, with the contract scheduled to commence on 14th February 2021 and lasting for a single day. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below the threshold, allowing broad participation in this contracting opportunity. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in safety-critical sectors such as Nuclear and Aviation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is explicitly geared towards inclusivity of SMEs. Companies capable of conducting thorough literature searches and meta-analyses will find this tender particularly suited to their strengths, enhancing their potential for business growth through successful bidding on this contract. ## Notice The aim of this research is to undertake a literature search and meta-analysis of research in relation to the effectiveness of peer checking. In particular this should consider and evaluate recently identified uncertainties in the benefits of peer checking identified in the relevant sectors (e.g., Medical, Rail, Aviation, Nuclear, and so on). Given the widespread use of peer checking as an error reduction tool within the nuclear sector, it is important that ONR has a scientifically informed and evidence based position on its effectiveness. This is particularly relevant in relation to ONR's position with regard to the efficacy of checks by Duly Authorised Persons (DAPs) as well as other Suitably Qualified and Experienced Persons (SQEPs) in undertaking safety important tasks. This tender is administered by HSE, of behalf of ONR. Additional information: All tender documents are available via the In-Tend supplier e-procurement portal.
