The final contract period is from 9th October 2023 to 15th April 2024. Businesses in the research and development consultancy services sector, interested in mapping consumer product regulations, are well-suited to compete for this tender. This tender issued by DBT through UK Shared Business Services Ltd aims to map consumer product regulations to trade and production data dictionaries under a services category. The main objective is to identify businesses involved in the manufacture or retail of products impacted by regulations and assess the need for third-party conformity assessment. By participating, businesses can contribute to sector interventions, policy developments, and trade negotiations. The tender process is open, and bidders must submit electronically via the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. The total contract value is £130,000 GBP, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration in the sector. ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday, 6th September 2023 at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The aim of this work is to map consumer product regulations to a number of different trade and production dictionaries. Specifically, the objectives for this research are to: 1) Map the products under these regulations to trade and production data dictionaries, including Harmonised Standard (HS) and Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes (latest editions). These are used to categorise products in trade data, used internationally to identify common or similar products; 2) Map these regulations across to manufacturing datasets (the ONS ProdCom publication), which use a different product code structure; 3) Identify the types of businesses (sectors) most likely to be involved in the manufacture or retail of products captured under the regulations, using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) framework; 4) Assess whether products that are mapped to regulations, require conformity assessment from a third-party body (known as Approved Bodies or Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs)). We intend to use the outputs from this project for a number of purposes including decision making on sector interventions, support policy developments including the Product Safety Review, and provide an improved evidence base for trade negotiations.
