At this stage, DBT can confirm the lotting structure in detail, and the lots will cover testing under the National Regulation Enforcement Services that the Office for Product Safety and Standards are responsible for. At this stage, DBT can confirm the lotting structure in detail and that the procurement will involve lots that will cover product testing services to support our role as the UK’s National Regulator. These procurements will underpin regulatory enforcement and market surveillance across the full breadth of OPSS’s responsibilities. The testing requirements will cover: • Construction product testing: Including fire resistance and reaction to fire, structural integrity, thermal and acoustic performance, weather-tightness, durability, glazing, and flooring/roofing assessments. • Product safety testing: Covering a wide range of consumer goods such as electrical equipment, gas appliances, toys, furniture, personal protective equipment (PPE), batteries, pressure equipment, and similar regulated products. • Energy efficiency and noise testing: Including compliance verification for energy labelling, Ecodesign standards, and noise emissions from equipment and appliances. • Chemical, biochemical, and microbiological testing: Encompassing analysis of cosmetics, timber, textiles, jewellery, plastics, and other consumer products for restricted substances (e.g., RoHS), migration/emissions, and microbiological safety. • Cybersecurity and digital compliance testing: Addressing requirements for connected products, including assessment against Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regulations, smart device security and compliance with relevant standards. These testing services are essential for OPSS’s proactive and reactive enforcement activities, supporting consumer safety, regulatory compliance, and market confidence. Suppliers are encouraged to maintain readiness for the broad range of testing disciplines outlined above and within this notice. DBT will utilise the new Open Framework permissions permitted by The Procurement Act 2023.

989217422 T1379- Validation and enhancement of train driver psychometric assessment, selection and recruitment for modern train operations in GB Rail

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive validation study of the train driver selection process that is used in GB Rail by all rail companies that employ mainline train drivers. This covers passenger operators, freight operators and infrastructure contractors. It will focus on both the standardised and non-standardised elements of train driver selection and be separated into two distinct phases. We consider a phase distinction to be important given the fundamental differences that exist between the two elements of train driver selection and the required outputs for each. There will be a stage gate review between phase 1 and phase 2 to enable review and reflection of the findings and recommendations, considering any additions or adaptions to phase 2 before commencement. For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://rssb.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Research-services./9789E8Q9UB To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://rssb.delta-esourcing.com/respond/9789E8Q9UB
