Description

In order for DfT to meet our legal requirements under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, we are required to conduct workstation assessments for each desk/user, and provide adjustments as required to individual users. For some users, this includes the provision of specialised software/technology. These assessments have historically been paid for by GPC. However, this is not permitted under DfT buying rules, given the large amount of spend involved (c. £60,000/year). As such, we are looking to put a contract in place. We plan to go out to market for this requirement. However, due to our legal obligation to provide these assessments and adjustments, we need to put in a short term contract to cover period of the tender process. This could be done with our existing supplier, The Speech Centre. Our needs include: Livescribe equipment, Dictation software and headset, any associated training
