Description

In May, the PM announced in Parliament that HSE would be undertaking COVID-19 compliance spot checks. As a result, HSE has put in place new processes to establish compliance via pro-active telephone-based spot checks. We now wish to implement the same process for physical inspections, using third party field resources. This, combined with telephone checks, will allow us to significantly increase the number of spot checks undertaken, allowing us to support LA's, respond rapidly to local outbreaks, focus on high-risk sectors, and scale up our proactive work.

Requirements

HSE is seeking multiple partners to provide a GB wide outsourced field force that will undertake large volumes of COVID secure workplace checks. We are not relying on a single supplier to have full geographic coverage, but we would require a reasonable footprint, for example beyond one region, and a high level of flexibility.
