This includes the receiving, processing, publication and dissemination of information and intelligence. Voluntary reports will be on structural and fire safety, although the reporting system could be extended to other safety occurrences if agreed and funded. The voluntary reporting system will be run independent of BSR, but is an important part of the regulator fulfilling its statutory duty under section 5 BSA, to keep under review the safety of people in or about buildings, and the standard of buildings. The statutory obligations builds upon the existing, longstanding CROSS reporting scheme, delivered by Structural Safety Ltd, and owned by the Institution of Structural Engineers. The voluntary reporting has been enhanced with Government funding to includereporting on fire safety. The enhanced website was developed in accordance with Government Digital Standards. As newly established, BSR needs time to fully identify and determine its procurement requirements for a voluntary reporting service . To work with CROSS and stakeholders so as to be able to independently evaluate the existing voluntary reporting in place to inform what it needs to fulfil its duties under the BSA and ensure value for money. Also, to ensure that in the interim there is no loss in the current voluntary reporting service while procurement processes are completed. ### Procurement Information HSE intends to consider a longer term approach for the future provision of this requirement but considers that it doesn't have sufficient time to undertake a review of future service requirements; consult with relevant stakeholders and complete the required procurement exercise to put in place a new contract for continued service provision from 01 April 2023, as they are the only provider capable of delivering the required service in its current guise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036232-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Dec 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £450,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 7HS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Linacre | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLD7 Merseyside | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | STRUCTURAL-SAFETY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 21 Dec 2022 at 15:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036232-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.hse.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
