    "description": "The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), part of the department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), was created in January 2018 to deliver consumer protection and to support business confidence, productivity, and growth. We regulate a wide range of products with a focus on their safety and integrity. We work with local, national, and international regulators, with consumer representatives and with businesses to deliver effective protections and to support compliance.\nOur mission is to be a trusted product regulator for the UK. This means protecting people and places, enabling business to thrive and empowering consumers to make good choices. We will be a leader of good regulatory practice and a champion of local regulation.\nOPSS is:\n• the national regulator for all consumer products, except for vehicles, medicines, and food.\n• the national regulator for legal metrology, ensuring weighing and measuring instruments are accurate and reliable.\nSuppliers are strongly encouraged to read the text at the following link to gain a full understanding of the role of the enforcement services with Government:\nhttps://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-regulation-enforcement-services\nAs the market surveillance authority for the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations, OPSS will often be required to test products available on the market to ensure that manufacturers are accurately stating the claimed performance and energy efficiency of their products. \nPreviously, the approach of OPSS was to run a multitude of separate testing contract procurements throughout the year. However, this approach has proven to be very inefficient, time consuming and expensive.\nTherefore, the new approach will be to create an Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Testing Framework. The framework will be divided up into multiple \"lots\", each covering a different aspect of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling testing, as yet to be determined. Suppliers will be asked to submit bids to gain access to the framework based on their expertise, testing remit and location. If successful, the supplier will then be awarded a place on the applicable lots in the framework.\nOnce on the framework, suppliers will be contracted on a call-off basis when testing is required. Specific details of the requirement including number of samples, testing standards, evidential handling requirements, timescales etc. will be provided closer to the time.\nThis supplier engagement event will provide more information about this opportunity and what we expect to see from suppliers. It will also serve as an opportunity for suppliers to gain a better understanding of the new direction OPSS will be taking with regards to future testing contracts.",
