## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive is seeking proposals for the provision of human factors guidance in relation to advanced human machine interfaces. This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and is being conducted through a selective method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender period ended on 28th August 2019, with the awarded contract valued at £59,792.96 and covering services related to the development of HF advice and guidance over a contract period from 1st October 2019 to 31st March 2020.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in human factors, consultancy services, and digital C&I systems, particularly those with experience in advanced reactor designs. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in qualitative and quantitative assessments of human machine interfaces will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project is a chance for such businesses to expand their portfolio and enhance their reputation in a growing sector within the research and development landscape.

## Notice

ONR is seeking to engage one of the Technical Support Contractors (TSC) appointed on Lot 2 of its Technical Support Framework. ONR has identified a research need to understand better the HF implications of deploying advanced Human Machine Interfaces in new reactor designs. This was borne out of the international trend for new reactor designs to incorporate digital C&I systems and their proposed use in designs going through ONR's Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process. To enhance its capability in the regulation of advanced Human Machine Interfaces, ONR has a requirement for the development of HF advice and guidance on substantiation for advanced HMIs. This will explore what suitable and sufficient could look like - when using existing tools, methods, and published academic research - for the substantiation of screen based digital C&I systems. The outputs from the works should be documented in a technical report and should capture industry experience and judgement and should consider both the qualitative and quantitative aspects.
