Summary

Machine-generated summary

National Highways, the government-owned company operating England's strategic road network, is seeking a single supplier to produce a national dust risk profile. The research will guide priority health controls through engagement, surveys, literature review and analysis of high-exposure highway tasks such as cutting, drilling, milling, hydrodemolition and handling of aggregates, which can cause lung diseases including silicosis, COPD and cancers. Dust exposure has been identified by the Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group as one of the top four occupational health risks. A pre-market engagement exercise is currently underway to test whether the stated expectations can be delivered by the market or whether adaptation is required. No estimated value, deadline or bid procedure details are stated.

Description

National Highways is a government owned company responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England. We are looking to secure the provision of a single supplier to guide priority health controls by producing a national dust risk profile through engagement, surveys, literature review and analysis of high-exposure highway tasks. Highways work involves many tasks that create dust including cutting, drilling, milling, scrabbling, hydrodemolition and demolishing of concrete and other stone products, mixing of cementitious products, handling of aggregates and potentially asbestos. Exposures to these dusts can cause lung diseases such as silicosis, COPD and cancers. The Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group (SCSLG - https://nationalhighways.co.uk/suppliers/health-safety-and-wellbeing/home-safe-and-well/supply-chain-leadership/) has identified dust exposure as one of the top four occupational health risks to address in its Significant Risk Thinking. We are now conducting pre-market engagement to test if our expectations can be delivered by the market or if adaptation is required.
