Background:
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) was created in January 2018 by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Responsibilities of The Office include:
| a. | Giving detailed advice on the interpretation of safety related regulations and sits on many standards making committees. |
| b. | Responding to incidents where the safety of a consumer product is called into question. |
| c. | Offering policy advice to HMG on product safety issues. |
| d. | Enforcement of a wide range of other product standards and regulations, including Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Ivory and Conflict Mineral regulations. |
| e. | Support of businesses through an expanded "Primary Authority" scheme to act as a single point of information for a wide variety of regulations impacting business. |
| f. | The work of the former national Measurement Organisation is also within the Office, which brings a world class test and measurement capability. |
Deliverables
The Consultant will be expected to submit the following deliverables:
| • | A final report, containing: |
| o | A discussion of their research along the four parts of the Suggested Methodology (above). |
| o | A robust methodology for assessing consumer and business detriment tackled by the Ports and Borders programme. |
| o | (if required) assumptions needed to make the model function in the absence of complete data. |
It is our intention to publish the final report.
- An interim report, covering initial findings under the same headings as those in the final report.
- A presentation to OPSS colleagues of findings, targeted at a non-technical audience.
| • | A bespoke quantitative estimation model which adopts the methodology contained in the final report. This model should: |
| o | be built in Microsoft Excel, |
| o | subscribe to spreadsheet modelling best practice, |
| o | have minimal sections locked down for editing |
| o | contain instructions on refreshing the data inputs for OPSS analysts to update when necessary. |
