Tender description
The Pesticide Usage Survey (PUS) is a voluntary (to pesticide users) post-approval monitoring programme which dates back to the 1960s. A cycle of surveys is carried out, where data is collected from a selection of pesticide users, representing different crop and amenity sectors, across the UK. This data is raised to give national estimates of pesticide use. Pesticide usage data helps to: • inform policy and other deliberations, answer questions and meet international reporting obligations on the application and impact of regulatory processes relating to pesticides (including methods of insect, weed and disease control); • inform programs that monitor the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment (for example, in foodstuffs and/or waterbodies); • provide a basis for wider research related to pesticide use and impact. The programme currently collects data: • every two years for arable crops, edible protected crops, outdoor vegetable crops, soft fruit, orchards and potato stores; • every four years for grassland and fodder crops and amenity use; and • annually on aerial applications

About the buyer
Health and Safety Executive regulates workplace health and safety standards across Great Britain as a central government agency. The Department for Work and Pensions sponsors it as a non-departmental public body. Regulatory oversight spans high-hazard sectors including construction, offshore oil and gas, waste management, agriculture and health and social care. Every contract opportunity is advertised on its e-tendering portal, In-Tend, where suppliers must register before bidding. Lower-value opportunities also appear on Contracts Finder, the cross-government platform. Each year a published commercial pipeline report sets out contracting opportunities for the coming year on GOV.UK.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Health and Safety Executive's contract awards have been in research and development, business services and software and information systems.
