Ordnance Survey - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & Clothing

Ordnance Survey require a provider to supply of a range of Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing for the Field Surveying Services teams which include Production Managers, Field Surveyors and Data Collectors. Ordnance Survey's Field Surveying Services workforce consists of approximately 240 staff, all of whom are required to operate, to various degrees, in a variety of environments. OS Field Surveyors and Data Collectors work outdoors, in all weathers and seasons, on active construction sites, by highways and in other urban and in rural environments. Whilst not involved in physical construction activities, they conduct topographic surveys, often during the construction phase of new developments, to capture manmade (and natural) changes in the real world and update our map database.

OS require a provider to supply of a range of Personal Protective Equipment, as an additional mitigating factor, to reduce risk when OS staff are working in these environments. These items will be split into "core items" that OS would expect all staff to require, that OS would consider a priority, as well as a number of additional items. OS require products to be available for staff, as and when required by the individual's needs. The provision is required to be in a timely manner so that OS can provide the required PPE to staff promptly, avoiding delays in providing them with important safety equipment.
