1 INTRODUCTION
National Grid ESO (NGESO) is undergoing a major digital transformation programme to substantially enhance and improve the experience of customers and stakeholders who engage with us. As such, it is looking for information from potential suppliers of Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solutions to integrate with our broader initiative to deliver a new Digital Engagement Platform (DEP). Our aim is to deliver seamless, engaging experiences for our customers and stakeholders who interact with our digital products and services.  We see the role of CIAM as a critical enabler in allowing customers access to our services in a secure but frictionless manner, by managing their identity, authentication, authorisation and personalisation at every step of their customer journey.
As we evolve our DEP, we will need to extend and scale the CIAM to support B2C, B2B and B2P uses cases, which may be delivered using web user interfaces as well as automated programmable interfaces (APIs). This RFI seeks to solicit information from CIAM solution providers to understand how they can support these requirements.

title: NHS Patient Survey Programme - Co-ordination Centre for Existing Methods

description:
CQC collects, analyses and uses a range of intelligence that can inform us about people's experiences of care. Part of that information comes from people who have recently used specific NHS services and are asked about their experiences as part of a NHS Patient Survey Programme delivered by CQC (see definitions below regarding national survey). The programme is designed to capture the views of representative samples of patients in a systematic way from all eligible NHS trusts in England. Each survey contains a set of questions that is designed and tested to provide insight into people's experiences and to highlight areas where individual providers could improve how they provide services.
The programme currently includes annual surveys of adult inpatients and community mental health services. CQC also undertakes 3 acute surveys on a biennial schedule: maternity services, emergency department services and children's and young people's inpatient and day case services. Information on all of these surveys is available on the 2 websites stated below.
Typically, the surveys are sent to a sample of between 850-1 250 patients, who meet specific eligibility criteria, per provider. The sample is drawn from people who have experienced care in a specified month, or months and on average between 25 % and 50 % of eligible patients respond. The results of these surveys, including local and national reports, are published on CQC's own website and NHS Surveys along with the guidance and tools used to deliver the survey.
The strategic direction for the NHS Patient Survey Programme for the period covered by this procurement process sets out CQC's proposals to develop the programme in 3 main ways:
(i) create a digital method of survey delivery utilising mobile phones and potentially email addresses. The digital solution will be part of a mixed methods approach to surveys which will reduce the costs of running the programme for trusts and allow us to, potentially, increase frequency and sample sizes with minimal cost impact;
(ii) support CQC's next phase approach (see, for example, the consultation response for the first wave on our website) for regulating providers where CQC has already inspected and rated every provider by potentially allowing CQC to increase the frequency of surveys and sample sizes;
(iii) review opportunities for collecting people's views on the quality of new care models as they emerge or on the quality of care in local areas and health systems.
CQC is seeking to appoint a contractor to deliver a co-ordination centre service and to act as an expert partner in the development and delivery of CQC's NHS Patient Survey Programme. The co-ordination centre works, on contract, directly with CQC and other commissioners to deliver and continuously improve the national surveys and survey products, by:
(i) working with commissioners to deliver surveys and survey products including, for example, undertaking development work and pilots, providing expertise on methods and processes, analysing data and producing outputs; and
(ii) support and work with, approved contractors to deliver surveys locally, for example through the development of guidance, webinars and central checks on samples.
CQC expects the anticipated programme cost envelope will be 1 067 000 GBP per annum. This is split between both the co-ordination centre for existing methods (Lot 1) and the co-ordination centre for mixed methods (Lot 2), with costs allocated to Lot 1 being higher in year 1 than subsequent years as CQC implements its strategy for the programme. However, as this contract will be utilised on a call-off basis, CQC does not guarantee any work either to providers of services or from other commissioners and requirements may be called-off as and when required by commissioners. Please also note that CQC may procure additional services through the contract to accommodate programme enhancements (survey volume, frequency or coverage).

procurementMethodRationale:
The explanation for a direct award to the Satellite Applications Catapult (SAC) Ltd being uniquely positioned as subject matter experts who have sector specific expertise that will be critical to the quality of the outputs and are not held elsewhere in the research market.
SAC is a research and technology innovation centre within the catapult network of organisations designed to accelerate research and take-up of new technologies in specific sectors (e.g. Satellite Applications, Connected Places, Digital, Medicines Discovery etc). SAC was formed to help organisations make use of, and benefit from, satellite technologies. They are one of the 10 catapult organisations set up as an independent organisation to assist the public sector therefore use of the catapult network represents an efficiency in public expenditure compared to procuring research services from elsewhere.

title: CHIMERA High Heat Flux System Laser

description: Option to extend 3 year warranty for further 2 years.

description:
UKAEA requires a 125kW fibre laser system for integration into the CHIMERA test facility.
This is to provide the capability for testing prototype fusion reactor components under “high heat flux”, in the region of 10s of MW/m2, or even “very high heat flux”, in the region of 100s of MW/m2. We require the ability to apply high heat flux for long periods or for short well-defined pulses. This functionality enables tests of prototype fusion reactor wall components and the ability to simulate certain fusion plasma extreme transient events, which are thought to be a high risk for the fusion programme including the now under-construction ITER experiment.

VI.4.2)Body responsible for mediation procedures
VI.4.3)Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers.
This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the authority before a contract is entered into applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request. Additional debriefing and that information have to be provided within a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be sought from the contact named in this notice.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Any such action must be brought promptly.

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
UKAEA issued a PIN (as referenced in this notice) for the requirement and received only one response from IPG. No other economic operator expressed interest in the PIN and UKAEA has concluded that the very specialist technical requirements may only be met by IPG.
We therefor have elected to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis of 32(2)b(ii).

title: Fire Stopping

description: Initial DPS lengths will be until 31/08/2025, with an option to be extended for a further five years.

description:
This is an important part of the passive fire protection for a building and is the process of filling any perforations or voids in its existing compartmentation with fire rated materials in order to prevent fire, smoke and heat passing through building compartments.  These compartments are designed to restrict both horizontal and vertical fire spread.
Fire stopping these can vary from minor works such as filling linear gaps with intumescent mastic, and around service penetrations to larger works such as filling voids or large breaches in compartment walls with a material like mineral fibre.  This can also include the creation of new large fire resistant barriers in open loft spaces.
For all fire stopping works, it is important that suitable products offering the equivalent fire protection are used. Additional information: To respond to this opportunity, please click here:

description: Building on the 100,000 Genomes Project and existing genetic services, In October 2018 NHS England announced the launch of  the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) which will be mobilised as part of a transition period to take place over 18 months. The long term aims of the Genomic Medicine Service are to:  o	Provide consistent and equitable care for England’s 55 million populationo	Operate to common national standards, specifications and protocols o	Deliver to a single national genomic testing directory – covering use of all technologies from single gene to whole genome sequencing initially for rare disease and cancero	Give all patients the opportunity to participate in research (for individual benefit and to inform future care)o	Build a national genomic knowledge base providing real world data This procurement relates to external quality assurance of the samples and the DNA material taken at NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs as part of the new Genomic Medicine Service.  Such sequencing requires high quality DNA and to ensure these samples are provided by the NHS Genomic Medicine Centres (GMCs), a range of external quality assessment (EQA) schemes are required. An assured lab network of GLHs will provide the required assurance to the wider GMS (including for clinical genetics services and Genomic Medicine Centres established as part of the 100,000 Genomes Project). The quality assurance measures are concentrated on 5 major areas below. NHS England are obligated to provide a quality assurance service to ensure samples collected are of high enough quality to extract a full genome.The required EQA service is as follows:•	EQA for DNA extraction from blood samples•	EQA for DNA extraction for formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples•	EQA for the measurement of DNA quality•	EQA for the assessment of tumour content and cellularity•	EQA for the National Genomic Testing Directory

Based on this assessment, the Genomics Unit has ascertained that:•	UK NEQAS (hosted by NHS Lothian) are the only provider qualified and ISO17043 or equivalent accredited for the DNA extraction EQA schemes and related molecular pathology schemes as described above;•	No other single provider has the ability to provide the range of medical laboratory tests across Haematology, Blood Coagulation, Immunophenotyping and Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics disciplines.

Without a Quality Assurance service in place there is a high risk of NHS GLHs being regularly paid for samples and tests of sub-standard quality leading to an unachievable genomic testing for the NHS.  Laboratory work undertaken as part of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service must be covered by the industry standard - ISO 17043 for the appropriate EQA schemes.

Newcastle, Sunderland, Northumbria, Durham, Teeeside universities together with the University of Bath on behalf of the SETsquared Partnership (the Enterprise collaboration of the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey) and any other HE Institution that wishes to join this DPS, as detailed in the Office for Students Register in common with universities throughout the UK, have advanced relevant systems and procedures and also dedicate significant public resource to both research and commercialisation of that research.
A key route to commercialisation is the creation of a new business (a spin-out company) wherein the intellectual property (IPR) developed is exclusively licenced to a university start-up company in exchange for (founders’) shares in that company.
A university spin-out company is centred on unique, often world class, technology. However as a start-up, to be successful, it requires, most critically, top quality business leadership.
Due to funding restrictions, universities usually attract managers to this high risk role through a sweat equity arrangement.
The universities wish to broaden the attractiveness of this role by contracting executives to develop the business plan, make the company investor ready and raise investment funds to take the business forward.
Through contracting highly skilled experts at the pre-commercial funding stage, this will allow the partner universities to attract a suitable person to the venture at an early stage, thus giving university spin-outs a much greater chance at success.
The typical brief of an executive will be to:
(a) Produce a viable business plan;
(b) Obtain university approval for the venture;
(c) Act for the company in the spin-out legal process and address all company formation matters;
(d) Provide to the appropriate university all matters necessary for ERDF and Research England reporting requirements;
(e) Secure (venture capital and / or other) funding in accordance with the business plan.
Stage (e) will produce the funds by which the new start-up company can consider employing the executive going forward. It is expected, and the intent of the scheme, that the Executive will remain with the business following the end of the contract period. However, such appointment will be at the discretion of the board and appropriate university and will be subject to confirmation, typically at Stage (c) above.

title: What can we learn from retail banking practices during Covid-19?

description:
Fair4All Finance is seeking a provider to research the provisions that retail banking lenders put in place to support customers through the financial shocks that they faced because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Broadly, this work should seek to detail the different support measures put in place, the customer demographics reached, and the impact these interventions had on customer financial wellbeing and overall wellbeing. The research should be framed around the different operational and financial implications it had for retail banking providers.
Insights from this work will be used by Fair4AllFinance and partners to inform how mainstream banks can take learnings from the temporary measures and best serve customers who are classified as financially vulnerable in the long-term. The insights will help to formulate recommendations at the product and policy level.
