The service will support the University’s occupational hygiene programme across its Glasgow environments. It will identify and assess workplace exposure to harmful agents, measure employee exposure levels and evaluate related health risks. The scope covers chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic and psychosocial factors, including vapours, gases, dust, biological agents, noise, vibration, heat and cold. The supplier will assess existing controls, recommend measures to eliminate or reduce risks, advise on health surveillance, carry out monitoring and exposure surveys, interpret results, and provide ongoing advice on legislation, standards and good practice. The work is classified as occupational health and safety services (CPV 90700000). This procurement is at the planning stage: the University has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to publish the next notice on 8 September 2026. The planned contract has one lot and an estimated value of £72,000. The University is conducting market engagement through a questionnaire, with interested businesses asked to register by close of business on 28 August 2026 by completing it and emailing it to the stated departmental contact. The planned service will be delivered in Glasgow. The appointed provider will be expected to give evidence-based, proportionate advice aligned with current legal and professional standards. This is preparation and engagement only, rather than a bid submission stage. This will suit an established occupational hygiene consultancy or specialist practitioner able to support a varied university estate and provide both practical assessments and strategic advice. Relevant capability includes identifying workplace hazards, designing and carrying out exposure monitoring, interpreting measurements, evaluating control effectiveness, recommending proportionate risk controls and advising on health surveillance. The supplier will also need to track changes in health and safety legislation, regulations, standards and professional practice, then help the University implement resulting actions. The named occupational hygienist must be a Licentiate Member of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene, hold the BOHS Certificate of Operational Competence in Occupational Hygiene or an equivalent entry qualification, and appear on the BOHS Register of Occupational Hygiene Professionals. Businesses should use the engagement period to assess their qualifications and service capacity. ## Notice The University of Strathclyde's Department of Safety, Wellbeing and Resilience (SWR) is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and competent Occupational Hygienist to provide specialist Occupational Hygiene Services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Strathclyde's Department of Safety, Wellbeing and Resilience (SWR) is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and competent Occupational Hygienist to provide specialist Occupational Hygiene Services.
