## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is exploring the possibility of introducing a new health and safety management system. The anticipated purchase is a software system, with related implementation or consultancy services indicated by the listed classifications. The Council is conducting market research to understand what systems are available and use the findings to shape its procurement strategy and specification. The system would be used across the Renfrewshire Council area. The Council has not committed to procuring a system; the market exercise is intended to inform its decision and the requirements for any later procurement.

This process is at the planning and market-research stage, not a tender invitation. Renfrewshire Council is seeking market insight through a questionnaire about available health and safety systems; the responses will inform its procurement strategy and specification. The Council expects a further notice on 1 February 2027. That is an indicative date for a future notice, not a bid deadline. The procurement is described as one lot, but the Council explicitly says issuing the questionnaire does not commit it to buying the described services. No procedure or evaluation approach has yet been set out for a later competition, and no contract value, budget or contract duration is stated. The questionnaire's own instructions govern how market-research responses are returned.

This market research is most relevant to suppliers that provide health and safety management software, including vendors able to explain the systems available and how they could meet a council's needs. Providers with implementation or advisory capability may also be relevant, given the classifications associated with the planned purchase. The Council is looking to understand the market before defining its procurement strategy and specification, so suppliers may be able to help shape what a future requirement covers by describing their products and capabilities. This is preparatory engagement, not a contract competition, and participation does not guarantee a later procurement or award. The information available does not identify required accreditations, minimum capacity or experience thresholds.
