This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is issued to engage the market regarding an upcoming procurement opportunity for a state-of-the-art Ambient Assisted Living Data Hub. Following requirements identified in our Smart Housing & Smart Communities living lab, we are seeking a centralised data hub (platform) that gathers and analyses sensor data to generate personalised health and wellbeing insights, enhancing ambient assisted living environments and providing analytics capabilities (with the ability to support AI-driven recommendations). The ambition for this particular workstream is to demonstrate that a broader Technology Enabled Care (TEC) service, in place of a traditional telecare service, would contribute to better outcomes and efficiencies for citizens, their personal networks, and the services who support them, such as reduced hospital admissions.
 We are seeking to understand the market capabilities and costs associated with such a data hub. It must be able to collect, analyse, and interpret data from a wide range of ambient sensors across telecare and telehealth (e.g. activity and environmental monitoring, wearables, trackers and domestic smart devices) to provide customised health and wellbeing analytics for individuals and community/statutory services. We expect the data hub to be interoperable for example with sensors and a personal data store (see www.mydex.org), capable of real time data analysis, adhere to robust data security measures and be scalable to accommodate a growing number of users and sensors.
 The following video provides an overview of the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre, the Rural Centre of Excellence for Digital Health & Care Innovation where this Living Lab is anchored, and a background to the innovation requirement : https://vimeo.com/986414233/0356ae24cc?share=copy.
 Please note, following this Prior Information Notice, the competition will be run on the Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Digital Services for Co-Managed Care(https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR477216).
 Only suppliers admitted to category 7 - “Smart Hosing/Communities” on the above Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be able to respond to the procurement opportunity. Suppliers interested in this opportunity are therefore invited to apply to join the DPS without delay.
 Suppliers are not required to respond to this Prior Information Notice in order to avail themselves of the procurement opportunity or to apply to join the DPS. However, we would appreciate information from interested suppliers regarding their capability to deliver solutions to the above requirement and an indication of pricing to inform our procurement strategy.
 Please note a contract notice will not be issued for this procurement, as the ITT will be conducted on the DPS and the date indicated on this PIN is indicative only.

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.

title: CivTech Challenge 10.1 - How can technology identify and measure firefighter exposure to contaminants across a wide range of incidents?

description: Firefighters are routinely exposed to a variety of contaminants during and after fire incidents. These contaminants can include chemical, biological, and particulate matter that pose significant health risks. The issue of contaminant exposure is both an emerging area of concern and study, with the safety of firefighters, staff, and the public being paramount. With contaminants identified, the risks that exposure to contaminants pose to firefighters at an incident, or to firefighters, staff, and members of the public (that come into contact with firefighting personnel and equipment post incident), can be better understood and managed. Having a better understanding of data of contamination by individual and cumulative exposure would be a significant development in further enhancing the safety of firefighters, staff, and the public.

description: You would think that with a bird as iconic as the puffin, we would know how many of them we have in the UK and how successful a breeding colony is in any year. Yet, of all the seabirds we are internationally responsible for, the puffin is one of the hardest to count because they breed in burrows underground. Traditional methods are either extremely labour intensive, with specialised fieldworkers required for counts, or can only give us an indication of how many puffins there are on land or on sea. It is also hard to tell how successfully they are managing to breed.

Under a mini-competition from the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework an Invitation to Tender was issued via Public Contracts Scotland-Tender (PCS-T) on the 26th of January 2024 to the framework participants who confirmed interest in a capability and capacity enquiry issued by SXL on behalf of the Council.
 For the purposes of evaluation bidders were asked to submit costs based on External Fabric Works at Camelon Crescent along with additional bills. Thereafter the Council will issue details of each further call-off contract to the successful Contractor for pricing based on the tender rates and preliminary costs submitted as part of this tender process.
 The terms and conditions will be the SBCC Standard Building Contract with Quantities for use in Scotland (SBC/Q/Scot), 2016 Edition, incorporating Amendment 1, February 2018.

title: Mini Competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework - External Wall Installations Fabric Works

description:
The Council's Housing and Technical Resources, Consultancy Services, identified a requirement to appoint to suitable contractor to undertake the Housing and Technical Resources External Wall Installations ("EWI") Fabric Works Programme as the Council aims to efficiently carry out fabric works while ensuring cost-effectiveness, high-quality deliverables, and timely project completion.
 To address these objectives and align with the Council's EWI Fabric Works Programme, it was recommended to transition from the traditional project-by-project approach to a single-source contractor on a term contract basis. This strategic shift will present numerous advantages, enabling the Council to optimise resources, streamline processes, and enhance overall project performance.
 The primary objective of the proposed contract is to establish a long-term partnership with a single contractor who will be responsible for delivering EWI Works over the specified period. This contractual arrangement promotes continuity, fosters a deeper understanding of the Council's requirements, and encourages collaborative working relationships. By nurturing this partnership, the Council aims to improve work quality, ensure greater adherence to project objectives, and facilitate efficient project management.
 Cost management is a key objective of this contract, it is essential that cost management measures are effectively implemented into the contract and managed efficiently throughout the duration of the contract period.
 The Council undertook an options appraisal looking at various national framework - PfH, SPA and Scotland Excel. After carefully reviewing the available procurement options, initiating a mini competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel (SXL) Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework Agreement has been deemed the best and most effective route to market.

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
 Please visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved.

title: CivTech Challenge 10.2 - How can technology identify and measure firefighter exposure to contaminants across a wide range of incidents?

description: Firefighters are routinely exposed to a variety of contaminants during and after fire incidents. These contaminants can include chemical, biological, and particulate matter that pose significant health risks. The issue of contaminant exposure is both an emerging area of concern and study, with the safety of firefighters, staff, and the public being paramount. With contaminants identified, the risks that exposure to contaminants pose to firefighters at an incident, or to firefighters, staff, and members of the public (that come into contact with firefighting personnel and equipment post incident), can be better understood and managed. Having a better understanding of data of contamination by individual and cumulative exposure would be a significant development in further enhancing the safety of firefighters, staff, and the public.

In order for the redevelopment to proceed the Centre Cumbernauld will have to be rundown gradually and ultimately demolished. Demolition is likely to be completed over two stages with Stage 1 scheduled for 2027 and Stage 2 commencing between 2031 and 2033.
 This means that the centre will continue to operate over the next 7 to 8 years albeit that it will be on a reducing floor area. TCC continues to operate whilst the Council develops its plans and has continued to be managed on the Council’s behalf by companies put in place by the previous owner.
 To enable the Council to meet its legal obligations and in order to demonstrate Best Value for TCC whilst it is still operational, the Council are developing an approach to appoint a long-term management solution which shall be competitively procured.
 It is envisaged that the long-term management agent appointed will be in place by Autumn 2025 and the resulting contract will run until the centre is fully vacant around 2031 – 2033 depending on demolition programming.
 The appointed management agent will be required to undertake the following duties, including but not limited to:
 - managing new and existing leases including rent reviews, rent collection and arrears and debt recovery
 - day-to-day management of the centre including security and cleaning
 - marketing available units
 - assisting with relocation of existing tenants within the centre
 - maintenance of the centre including undertaking capital expenditure if required
 - preparing financial statements
 - preparing monthly management reports
 - attending relevant meetings

description:
In March 2020, North Lanarkshire Council approved the publication of its draft Town Visions recognising Cumbernauld, the largest town within the local authority area, as one of the major towns that should form part of its core investment programme for ‘The Place – The Vision’ for North Lanarkshire.
 Considering the town’s strategic location and its town status, Cumbernauld has become a recognised commercial location with a mix offering business parks, industrial accommodation and retail shops. However, the town centre is largely retail dominated by the ‘the Centre Cumbernauld, Cumbernauld Shopping Centre’ (known jointly as ‘The Centre Cumbernauld’ (TCC)) together with the more modern Antonine Centre, along with two large office blocks and a further education college. This mix is no longer fit for purpose and does not meet the needs and aspirations of residents, many of whom now travel to nearby Glasgow or Stirling to shop, bypassing the TCC which many considered a blot on the urban landscape.
 TCC was built in the 1960 / 70s and occupies an extensive site in the middle of Cumbernuald town centre. Formed on either side of a major public road (Central Way/A8011) and connected by overhead pedestrian foot bridge / walkway, it extends to over 5 hectares in size including car parks. However, a lack of investment over several years has meant that the centre itself is in relatively poor condition (requiring extensive repairs and improvement if it was to be retained as an operational asset in the longer-term).
 The Council acquired the TCC in June 2023 in order to unlock transformational regeneration of Cumbernauld town centre and kick start the redevelopment of a mixed-use town centre space that will incorporate a Town Hub. This redevelopment will also stimulate private sector housing delivery, assembling land for residential use, enable development of much needed new homes and will contribute towards the regeneration of Cumbernauld into one of the eight towns recognised in North Lanarkshire Town Visions.

name: South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran)

description:
The existing SEStran and Tactran pilots provided journey planning tools that enabled the planning, booking and paying for a variety of transport services. These tools were ‘powered’ by a shared MaaS platform initially provided by Fuse Mobility, which novated its contract to Ember Technology on 19 February 2024.
 SEStran and Tactran have secured additional funding to extend the present contract for a further short 3 month extension to 31 December 2024 at which point Transport Scotland should be in a position to make any decisions on the direction of a national MaaS platform, and whether this could be publicly funded.
 Ending the pilot projects before a way forward has been determined for the long term could:
 § Seriously limit the opportunities to take forward the MaaS aspirations. If current MaaS projects stop, there will be a loss of confidence by the public, operators, and partner public sector services.
 Conversely, there could also be a lost opportunity to digitally promote new transport initiatives (such as DRT, Mobility Hubs, bike hire schemes and Community Transport etc) via MaaS platforms;
 § Represent a significant loss of investment by all partners in getting this new and exciting technology established; and
 § Whilst MaaS is a growth sector, there are limited MaaS suppliers in Scotland. The lack of a continuous plan for establishing and expanding MaaS will seriously affect the confidence of suppliers to invest in the programme in Scotland. It will also present a reputational risk to those public sector partners involved.
 IMPS aims to share the learnings from the Transport Scotland MIF projects, help public sector organisations understand how MaaS could help them to achieve their sustainable objectives, and to help MaaS services grow, learn and develop. We will do this by having open access to an IMPS website, offer advice on design and implementation of a MaaS app, offer the use of the existing apps, and also offer a new ‘grey label’ app via a financial contribution from the third party.
 Tactran and Sestran propose to maintain the platform and existing interfaces and continue to make this available to the public until a time when Transport Scotland are able to consider and confirm funding for a new MaaS platform project with the intention that the contract for that project will be fully advertised in a public procurement procedure.

title: SEStran-24/25-Integrated Mobility Platform

description:
The main aims of IMPS are:
 · Make it easier for every resident & visitor to the SEStran and Tactran regions to make the most of the
 Transport ecosystem.
 · To secure a model for long term financial sustainability by 30 September 2024.
 · Support Scotland Objectives (MIF objectives but also wider national objectives)
 · Make it easier for new transport modes to connect in to the transport ecosystem.
 The next phase of the MaaS platform will be made available to potential other public sector partners to allow them to commission further integrations/improvements to the existing apps powered by the platform or develop new ‘grey label’ apps from the same platform – the Integrated Mobility Platform Scotland concept.

procurementMethodRationale:
The purpose of the contract award is to keep the contract running for a further 3 months as procurement is completed for the MaaS project and to ensure the service continues running whilst the new supplier is awarded contract. That short extension with a value of 11,625 GBP (even in addition to the previous 6 month long extension with a value of 23,500 GBP) is not a “substantial” change in terms of Reglation 72(1)(e) and (8) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, because none of the following apply to this particular extension/modification:
 “(a) the modification renders the contract or the framework agreement materially different in character from the one initially concluded;
 (b) the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure, would have—
 (i) allowed for the admission of candidates other than those initially selected;
 (ii) allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted; or
 (iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;
 (c) the modification changes the economic balance of the contract or the framework agreement in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the initial contract or framework agreement;
 (d) the modification extends the scope of the contract or framework agreement considerably; or
 (e) a new contractor replaces one to which the contracting authority had initially awarded the contract or framework in cases other than those provided for in paragraph (1)(d).”

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.

title: CivTech 10.8 - How can technology reduce pharmaceutical waste?

description:
Waste of prescribed pharmaceutical items is a major issue. In 2015 NHS England conservatively estimated that at least GBP300 million was spent on unused medicines. In addition, unwanted and unused medicines are often disposed of incorrectly, and this has significant, negative environmental and pollution impacts. Both the prevention of over-prescribing, over-ordering or unnecessary dispensing of medicine, and the return of unused medicines in a way that they can be safely put back into the system have the potential to markedly improve the situation.
 So how can technology reduce pharmaceutical waste?

An extensive education reform programme is underway in Scotland. As part of this reform, the new qualifications body will replace the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). This is being taken forward by the Scottish Government’s Directorate for Education Reform.
 The new qualification body (to be known as Qualifications Scotland) will assume all the responsibilities of the SQA. In order to do this, all staff and assets need to transfer to the new body by its establishment date, currently expected by Autumn 2025, and that the SQA can be dissolved at this point in time or afterwards.
 HMRC have advised that there are potential tax liabilities, charges or risks that come with transferring assets etc from one public body to another. They have informed us there are available mechanisms that enable these transfers to be treated as “tax neutral”.
 To identify what these charges and liabilities may be the Scottish Government is seeking specialist tax advisory services that can support us to make transfers from the SQA to the new qualifications body that are tax neutral, and any other connected purposes.
