This tender, classified under research and development consultancy services, aims to explore the operational dynamics of online marketplaces and third-party sellers to combat the sale of unsafe products online. The tender period closed on 28 September 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 25 October 2021 and conclude by 25 March 2022. The estimated value of the contract is £85,000, located in London (postal code SW1H 0ET), and it has been procured through an open process. This opportunity presents a significant potential for business growth, especially for organisations experienced in digital solutions, product safety, and market research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the contract has been designated suitable for them. Businesses with expertise in developing technical strategies, understanding regulatory frameworks around product safety, and innovative digital platforms for enforcement will find this tender ideally aligned to their capabilities. ## Notice This project will aim to understand how OMPs, ITPS and existing tools/enforcement operate in order to more clearly define the problem and identify options for a digital solution. It will review OMPs, including their operational/technical workings and the interactions between OMPs, Independent Third-Party Sellers (ITPS) and products to identify potential options for a digital solution which could combat the sale of unsafe products online. The aim of this project is to examine the potential for developing a digital solution to combat the sale of unsafe products online and to determine the requirements for such a solution. This should be achieved by examining OMPs, ITPS and products sold online from a product safety enforcement perspective, with a view to then applying this knowledge into developing technical approaches to combating the sale of unsafe products online. The outputs from the research will also inform other related OPSS activities in this space, including through identifying where technical approaches may not be the most effective approach.
