    Brief

    Thurrock Council Trading Standards seeks a qualified test house to provide product safety testing services across four product categories: toys, electrical and machinery items, cosmetics, and jewellery/vapes. This grant-funded procurement supports border control operations at Thurrock Border points to ensure consumer goods meet safety standards. Testing services are required to complement officer inspections, which include labelling checks and visual examinations but require laboratory testing to fully verify product safety, compliance with regulations, and identification of banned or unsafe substances. Suppliers should be experienced in conducting safety assessments across multiple consumer product categories and able to support regulatory compliance efforts.
