Description
Why the Work is Being Done OPSS is responsible for developing national capacity for product safety in the UK. Our digital portfolio includes services aimed at regulators, businesses and consumers. From 29th March 2019 businesses will be required to notify the Secretary of State details of their cosmetic products before they are placed on the market. We are developing a service that will enable businesses to fulfil this requirement. These changes need to be communicated through GOV.UK and other channels. The service will protect consumers by allowing the National Poisons Information Service to provide advice to medical professionals on the ingredients of cosmetic products. Problem to Be Solved The UK needs to collect data relating to cosmetic products from businesses and make that data available to the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS). The NPIS use this data to provide 24/7 guidance to medical professionals treating patients who have ingested or suffered an adverse reaction to cosmetic products. A subset of this data is also available to competent authorities, such as Trading Standards, for market surveillance purposes. The NPIS and Trading Standards currently access this information through the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP), a system provided by the EU. Who Are the Users As NPIS we need to find information relating to the ingredients of cosmetic products so that we can provide advice and guidance to medical professionals treating patients. As a business I need to provide and update information about my cosmetic products so that I can place them on the market legally. As a Trading Standards Officer I need to review information submitted by businesses so that I can carry out market surveillance activities. Early Market Engagement N/A Work Already Done We are part-way through Alpha. We have developed a prototype which has undergone multiple rounds of testing with business users. The prototype includes various flows for businesses to submit information. We are still testing parts of this journey ahead of Beta (e.g. playing back submitted data). We have engaged with NPIS and Trading Standards to better understand their needs and will begin prototyping for these user groups shortly. We have started setting up the technical infrastructure ahead of Beta. Existing Team This project is being led by OPSS Digital as well as subject matter experts. Specifically, OPSS will provide: Product Owner User Researcher 2 x Developers (third party) Service Designer In addition, there will be access to the wider team and current suppliers to help gain access to relevant work streams. We anticipate we will require 2 developers and a user researcher to complete Alpha and deliver the MVP in Beta. Current Phase Alpha Work Location The primary site will be 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0EH. However, OPSS has other sites including Birmingham and Teddington and the team may be required to work there on occasion to engage with colleagues and stakeholders. There may be a requirement for travel to other sites to conduct user research and testing. Working Arrangments The team must be co-located at 1 Victoria Street, London and adhere to BEIS normal working hours (09:00 - 17:00). Suppliers must comply with the BEIS travel and subsistence policy. Travel within the UK may be required for user research and testing purposes. BEIS will meet any additional travel costs incurred away from the London office for the purposes of user research or attendance at other BEIS sites. Travel to Birmingham and Teddington offices should be expected occasionally. Individual remote working arrangements are acceptable but must be agreed ahead with OPSS. Security Clearance Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance required. BEIS will sponsor this if necessary.
