This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline now extended to 6th September 2021. Tenders must be submitted electronically via HSE's In-tend e-portal, and interested suppliers should register beforehand to participate. The successful bidder will be awarded a five-year contract, responsible for operating the service concession and delivering various support services related to the scheme. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in service concession management, particularly those with expertise in test development, sales, marketing, and customer support. Companies that can effectively collaborate with third-party manufacturers for equipment provision may also find this an advantageous venture. HSE is welcoming proposals from both individual Concessionaires and consortia, making this a prime opportunity for firms looking to expand their operations in the public sector, especially within the health and safety domain. ## Notice HSE is seeking to appoint an experienced and competent Concessionaire to operate the HSE GRIP Rating Scheme as a service concession and to provide all aspects of test development, sales and marketing, customer support and fulfilment services for its scheme. HSE expects to supply IP to support the development of the test equipment and the running of the scheme. HSE also expects to lead the quality assurance of the scheme through an audit and/or PT scheme to be agreed with the partner organisation. HSE is seeking to award a five year contract. Both HSE and the current service provider do not consider that TUPE applies in respect of the proposed concession service agreement. Tenderers should prepare their submission on this basis. HSE is open to receive bids from a single Concessionaire or from consortia. HSE is also open to bids that assume the involvement of 3rd parties (e.g. for equipment manufacture). HSE will expect that the Concessionaire will guarantee the output of any 3rd party and will advise HSE prior to engaging them. ### Lot Information Lot 1 HSE is seeking to appoint an experienced and competent Concessionaire to operate the HSE GRIP Rating Scheme as a service concession and to provide all aspects of test development, sales and marketing, customer support and fulfilment services for its scheme.
