## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has initiated a tender process to procure a suite of equipment for characterising and generating electromagnetic fields (EMF) at its laboratory in Harpur Hill, Buxton, UK. This tender falls under the public authority - central government category and pertains to the radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and laboratory equipment industry. Interested suppliers should note the tender is currently active, with the tender period concluding on 29th December 2025. The procurement method is an open competition, and all documents are accessible via the HSE In-Tend supplier e-procurement portal. Clarifications can be sought until 19th December 2025.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in EMF measurement and RF emission equipment to provide innovative solutions and expand their market presence. The open competition method means it is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The tender aims to secure equipment capable of measuring common emitters such as WiFi and Bluetooth, providing significant opportunities for suppliers with expertise in laboratory precision equipment. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing while meeting the specifications are poised to benefit substantially from this contract, with the award criteria focused on specification compliance and best price.

## Notice

The Science Division (SD) of the Health and Safety Executive invites competitive quotations for the supply of the following items to their Laboratory located at Harpur Hill, Buxton SK17 9JN. HSE-SD is looking to acquire a suite of EMF equipment. The suite will need to enable the measurement of a range of common emitters (WiFi, phones, Bluetooth, inductive chargers etc), and give a profile of both frequency and power. HSE is then looking to be able to generate an RF emission (similar to that measured) aimed at a point (and measuring the signal at that point concurrently with the signal analyser to verify power and frequency). Once verified the sample probe will be removed and replaced with an item of interest, whose response to that RF signal will be observed. Confinement or enclosure of the test articles will not be possible. Testing likely to occur, in part, in an outdoors energetics test bunker.
