## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has completed a procurement process titled "The Provision of External Support for the Discovering Safety Programme," aimed at advancing workplace safety through data-driven innovation. This tender falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with delivery locations spanning various regions of the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, and others. The procurement process, which followed a direct method without competition due to being below the threshold, culminated with the award being active as of 9th June 2026. The contract, valued at £25,000 gross, is set to run from 29th June 2026 to 30th November 2026, with the next milestone scheduled for 25th June 2026.

Businesses specialising in health and safety research, data-driven policy development, and consultancy services will find strategic growth opportunities in this tender. Small and medium enterprises that possess an extensive network and a focus on enhancing workplace safety through innovation could benefit significantly. The contract's focus on subcontracting to fill expertise gaps offers a substantial prospect for specialised vendors, particularly those skilled in delivering tailored services that align with the Discovering Safety Programme's goals. Businesses adept at integrating innovative solutions to bolster safety measures in workplaces could leverage this contract to expand their service offerings and partnerships across the UK.

## Notice

The Discovering Safety Programme is a pioneering collaboration between Lloyd's Register Foundation, HSE, and a number of delivery partners from industry and academia, aiming to transform workplace safety through data-driven innovation. The programme uses specialists in fields such as health and safety research, investigation and policy, working day to day in those areas. HSE are seeking external support for this important delivery of PE21317 DS+ due to not having the required in-house skillset, nor the independent network that an external organisation may hold. As the required expertise is not available internally, a subcontractor, recommended by the customer, will be appointed to deliver a discrete element of the services. The contracting authority will retain overall responsibility for contract management and performance.
