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.
