title: International Student Pathways Project

title: International student pathways project.

description: Bournemouth University (BU) has a number of strategic imperatives which demand a significant increase in international students, and wishes to develop stronger preparatory provision to support this growth. BU is seeking a provider to deliver a new and extensive suite of preparatory courses, to provide a number of different pathways to BUs undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The provider will be required to provide and operate (at its own cost and risk) dedicated teaching, learning, residential & catering accommodation for up to circa 600 students for the provision of these preparatory courses. If bidders require any inputs from BU, they will be required to provide details of any such inputs during the procurement process. Candidates should note that BU does not envisage that it will have any land available on which to locate the new facility and that candidates will therefore have to source the land/buildings they require themselves. However, if a suitable part of the BU estate does become available due to changes in the Universitys operations, candidates will be notified accordingly. BU requires the new facilities to be located within a one mile radius of either its Talbot or Lansdowne campus. BU will require the successful tenderer to deliver the new courses from September 2012, potentially using accommodation on BUs estate until the new facilities have been completed. The new facilities will be required to be completed by September 2014. Current preparatory course provision, which includes a pre-sessional English language programme and a BU-validated international foundation certificate, is delivered through a combination of different local providers and in-house delivery. The preparatory courses will offer the opportunity for international students to meet BUs entry requirements (both academic and English) and also allow students, who have met their conditions of offer but who want to undertake some additional academic English and study skills study before they begin their degree course at BU, to pursue appropriate preparatory courses. The provider will work closely with BU to ensure that the provision of preparatory courses is closely aligned with the undergraduate and postgraduate courses at BU, and that a high % of students (to be agreed) progress to BU courses following successful completion of their preparatory course. BU envisages an arrangement, which will result in students undergoing the preparatory courses having a clear study pathway route to undergraduate and postgraduate courses at BU. Whilst undertaking the preparatory courses, the students would live and learn in a dedicated environment, built/refurbished and managed by the provider, which would include teaching, learning, residential and catering spaces, to be open on a calendar year round basis. Key features of the required preparatory course provision are: — the provider operates as an autonomous body with dedicated teaching, learning, residential and catering space. The new facilities will be required to meet certain building specifications, details of which will be provided in the ITPD. BU expects to enter into a contract with the successful tenderer for a period of circa 25 years, but the term will be subject to discussion with tenderers, — a wide range of preparatory courses that feed into BUs undergraduate and postgraduate courses in various disciplines, — multiple start dates in each year for English language courses, for students who need to improve their English before commencing their preparatory course, — the provider to increase preparatory course provision with a view to achieving circa 600 students on the preparatory courses at any one time from year 6 onwards, — course content to be jointly designed with BU, — qualifications will be awarded by BU and subject to BUs regulations and quality processes, — the provider to deliver a highly customer-focussed service and an exceptional level of pastoral care to students on preparatory courses, — the provider to provide and develop strong global marketing networks and educational agents, and a proactive approach to the recruitment of international students through collaborative brand development with BU, whilst maintaining high standards of scrutiny on entry requirements to preparatory courses.

description: The successful tenderer will be required to provide catering services at Gunter Primary School. The catering service provision at Gunter Primary School has never been market tested and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head teacher and School Governors have made a decision to tender the catering service. The School is located in Pype Hayes, which is a small suburb of Erdington, West Midlands. It currently has 208 pupils on roll, including 39 nursery school pupils. In addition to this there are 31 staff. The School does not have a production kitchen and therefore the successful contractor will need to have the ability to deliver hot food to the School on a daily basis. Two staff are currently employed by the incumbent contractor to manage and oversee the lunchtime service and therefore TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract. Current uptake levels are circa 50 % with an annual turnover figure of 40 000 GBP. The School firmly believes that with improved choice and quality there is a real opportunity to increase this level of uptake.

A further, larger, bidders’ event will take place later in February which will also showcase the service currently delivered by Surrey Community Health. Important. Please note this tender is being administered on behalf on NHS Surrey by NHS Commercial Solutions. The tender is being published through Supply2Health, the Official Journal of the European Union (on a voluntary basis), and details are also being made available on the NHS Surrey web site: http://www.surreyhealth.nhs.uk/AboutUs/Pages/Procurement.aspx. The tender will be conducted via the NHS Commercial Solutions Bravo e tendering system. You will be required to register on the Bravo system if you have not previously done so. This can be done at any time via this web link: https://seccph.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml. This is the only route through which NHS Commercial Solutions will conduct communications with Potential Bidders, and accept completed Pre Qualification Questionnaires. Full project information will only be available within the Bravo portal and the NHS Surrey web site from 31st January, when the procurement process is formally launched. Invitation to Tender for the Portfolio of Surrey Community Health. Introductory Notice. NHS Surrey is required to ensure that the provision of community services in the areas of Surrey not currently served by Central Surrey Health is delivered by an organisation independent of NHS Surrey by 1.4.2011, or as soon as possible thereafter. As of January 2011, NHS Surrey is not seeking to go to the market for the procurement of most services in South East Surrey as there is a bid from staff there for social enterprise status which is progressing to the next stage. That position will be reviewed if the application fails to progress satisfactorily. This decision will be clear by late February. The portfolio therefore comprises services delivered in North West and South West Surrey as well as some delivered Surrey wide, including sexual health services and prison healthcare. The agreed portfolio of the potential social enterprise in the East will impact on the final composition of the portfolio, and potential bidders will be apprised of any changes as they are confirmed. NHS Surrey is looking to transfer the whole portfolio of services “as is”, but with the proviso that there will be significant re-engineering of the services over the next twelve months to deliver alternative models of care which provide high quality services at affordable costs. There is an expectation that the new provider will maximise opportunities for integration with social care (for adults and children) and other health providers, such as the ambulance service, voluntary and charitable providers, acute trusts, mental health and learning disability services and primary care. At the same time, an approach to local delivery which respects the particularities of each health economy and the objectives of emerging GP consortia will be required, especially in respect of the day to day work of key community staff. This transfer will take place in the context of public consultation on a new model of care at certain community hospital sites, which is looking to provide urgent ambulatory care in non acute settings, and will require decisions to be made about the number, location and purpose of community hospital services, beds and sites. We expect some sites providing urgent ambulatory care to be destinations of choice for ambulances with triage through NHS Pathways and this development must generate significant savings against current acute spend. Bidders will be asked to describe how this service model might contribute to the process of restoring financial balance to the Surrey system. The contract let will be the standard, national, NHS community contract. In view of the requirement for service re-engineering which will require funding and/or pump priming, the term of the contract will be up to five years; however, there will be the expectation that certain elements of the service will be market tested after eighteen months, under the auspices of GP Commissioning consortia, and emerging policy regarding Any Willing Provider will potentially impact over time. NHS Surrey is looking to progress this procurement process through competitive dialogue, which will centre on the following elements: 1. The effective safe transfer of existing staff and services to a context where terms and conditions will not be a disincentive for recruitment and retention. 2. The development, integration and transformation of services for quality and cost improvement. There is a clear expectation that activity must be shifted from acute to community settings in planned and unplanned care where that is clinically appropriate and less costly, and that this model will deliver substantially on the QIPP agenda. This will see a 20 % reduction in acute hospital admissions by the end of 2013, a 10 % cut in A&E attendance and a 25 % reduction in hospital length of stay by the same time. (Source DH QIPP programme). NHS Surrey will work with potential providers to secure mutual understanding of financial and service delivery models during the competitive dialogue process. The successful bidder is likely to be the one which best assures NHS Surrey, Surrey County Council and potential GP Commissioners of the soundness of its transformational plans in clinical and financial terms, and that it will deliver local accountability to GP Commissioning consortia. The timescale currently envisaged for the procurement process is as follows: 31.1.2011 Event for potential bidders, and issuing of Pre Qualification Questionnaire. A further, larger, bidders’ event will take place later in February which will also showcase the service currently delivered by Surrey Community Health. 17th March Closure of PQQ stage and short listing of bidders 31st December Implementation and transfer of services A detailed timeline will be issued to bidders on 31st January. Bidder packs will be available on 31st January. Further details of the bidder information event will be sent on request. Enquires can be made to Chris Botten at NHS Surrey. Anne Walker.

title: Renewable Energy Advisory Panel.

description: The advisory project (“Ceredigion Sustainable Energy Panel”) will engage with micro enterprises in the county of Ceredigion to draw their attention to opportunities for introducing renewable energy into their operations so as to introduce a new income stream and lower their operating costs. The project is part of the Rural Development Plan delivery in Ceredigion, co-ordinated by Ceredigion County Council on behalf of the Adfywio Ceredigion Regeneration (ACR) Partnership. This project is funded through the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013 which is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, and will run from April 2011 through to November 2013. (WAG funding is expected to be in place in time for the award of contract). Concept. The ACR Partnership perceives that many Micro Enterprises in Ceredigion are well situated to invest in renewable energy and benefit from introducing a new income stream into their operations. There are however a myriad of obstacles to deter micro enterprises from taking up these opportunities. Choice of technology, gaining consents, calculating pay back periods, and lack of confidence are all obstacles that can be overcome with suitable advice and support. This is where the concept of a panel of expertise comes in – where a number of experts can be drawn on to give impartial advice on the most practical and financially sound way for a micro enterprise to proceed. The panel needs to be able to advise and make recommendations on all commonly available forms of renewable energy including: — Solar Thermal, — Solar PV, — Biomass, — Wind, — Micro Hydro, — Anerobic Digestion. It also needs to be able to advise on what consents will be required to undertake an installation and what resources are likely to be needed to achieve these plus give advice on calculating financial returns on the investment and accessing any other financial aid, such as the Feed In Tariffs scheme. The advice and support should be made available on a free of charge basis other than the time commitment required by owners in participating in the scheme, networking with other beneficiaries, undertaking site research work. The advice and support will need to be available promptly when requested, with an initial response within 1 working day followed by any face to face contact within 3 working days. Knowledge of the geography of Ceredigion will help in delivering the service. The advice and support given to micro Enterprises will result in a number of them undertaking modest installations with subsequent modest impacts on their annual income / GVA levels. Scope and size of Project. The available funding for implementing the project over the period is a maximum of 217 249 GBP. In addition it is a requirement that the service provider will provide additional cash resources that do not come from a European public source of at least 48 467 GBP plus in kind time contributions of at least 16 425 GBP making for an overall project cost of 282 141 GBP. The project will commence in April 2011 and be fully completed by November 2013. The service will be confined to micro enterprises located within the boundaries of Ceredigion. Reporting / payment arrangements. Payment will be quarterly in arrears against invoices submitted with evidence to support match funding contributions and achievement of outputs.

title: Enabling retirement savings programme: investment management services - Sharia compliant global equity fund.

description: National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) – a low-cost, qualifying trust based pension scheme being set up by National Employment Savings Trust Corporation (NEST Corporation), is part of a broader programme of workplace pensions reform being introduced by the UK Government. NEST will be a defined contribution trust based occupational pension scheme under section 1(1) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (c.48) and will be a qualifying scheme for auto-enrolment purposes under the Pensions Act 2008. NEST Corporation is currently undertaking the search and selection process for specific investment funds which will be used as a basis for its initial investment fund ranges. NEST Corporation will be the contracting party and ultimate recipient of the investment management services relating to the investment funds. The workplace pension reforms, including onset of employer duties, mean that starting from 2012 employers will have to automatically enrol all eligible jobholders, and when asked by them, any jobholder, into a pension scheme that meets or exceeds certain legal standards. The reforms will be introduced in stages from 2012 with the largest employers affected first. NEST is gearing up to launch in spring 2011 on a small scale with volunteer employers, to ensure it is ready for the onset of the anticipated higher volumes of employers and members from 2012. Although in the initial period volumes are expected to be low, in later periods the scheme is anticipated to be one of the largest defined contribution schemes in the European Union. Further information about NEST Corporation is available on its website at http://www.nestpensions.org.uk/. NEST Corporation have elected to use a contract notice within the Official Journal of the European Union. Please note: this is a non-mandatory contract notice. The Public Contract Regulations 2006 (Regulations) specifically excludes contracts for financial services in connection with the issue, purchase, sale or transfer of securities. Neither a reference during or after this procurement process to the Regulations or the use of language or terminology common to the Regulations shall require NEST Corporation to conduct a fully regulated procurement in accordance with the Regulations. This notice is being placed for advertising purposes only. NEST is seeking to include a passive or actively managed Sharia compliant global equity investment option as part of its optional suite of investment funds in order to fully provide for the needs of scheme members. The Fund proposed must be suitable for a defined contribution (DC) based UK pension scheme. NEST Corporation has elected to use a 2 stage process to enable the creation of a short-list of bidders who will be invited to attend a beauty parade presentation: Stage 1 – initial screening of bidders; Stage 2 – evaluation of the bidders’ tenders. The Request for Proposal (RFP) contains 2 parts: an initial screening questionnaire (Part A), followed by a more detailed set of questions (Part B). Where a bidder’s tender passes the initial screening, the remainder of the tender will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria and weightings set out in the RFP. NEST Corporation will draw up a short-list of the bidders to be invited to a beauty parade presentation based on the ranking of each bidder's tender. The evaluation criteria which will be used to assess the Beauty Parade presentations will be communicated to the short-listed bidders in advance of the Beauty Parade presentations. The deadline for submitting the completed responses is detailed in section IV.3.4. Please refer to this opportunity as investment mandate 7 – Sharia Compliant Global Equity Fund.
