Tender description

The majority of health and safety processes within National Services Scotland (NSS) are processed and monitored manually using paper-based processes. This means there is a reliance on people to follow processes correctly in accordance with the guidelines, with only manual intervention to safeguard processes are followed correctly. The objective is to procure and configure a standard electronic health and safety management system, from a supplier currently in operation in other public and private sector organisations, to meet the needs of NSS. The majority of health and safety processes within National Services Scotland (NSS) are processed and monitored manually using paper-based processes. This means there is a reliance on people to follow processes correctly in accordance with the guidelines, with only manual intervention to safeguard processes are followed correctly. The introduction of an electronic health and safety management system has potential to support NSS carry out their day-to-day business processes. This would enable safeguards to be designed to ensure processes are followed correctly; automation implemented to remove the need for manual data collection/entry and information flow. In addition, the system would provide NSS with the resources and tools to be more pragmatic in terms of preventing health and safety accidents and incidents — data stored securely in the system would enable NSS to analyse trends in behaviour (at a local and national level) and implement measures to reduce the number of incidents which occur. The objective is to procure and configure a standard health and safety management system, from a supplier currently in operation in other public and private sector organisations, to meet the needs of NSS.
