The London Borough of Ealing (Contracting Authority) wishes to procure an All Age Transport DPS for a range of transport services. It is envisaged the DPS will commence in April 2024 for a term of five (5) years., with possibility of extension up to a further four (4) years
Ealing faces multiple challenges in this area, including the need to standardise the quality of service across contractors, reduce the overall spend, and increase the efficiency of the services provided. Ealing is also committed to promoting a cleaner, greener borough and encouraging the use of low emission vehicles.
As part of this service, Contractors are expected to operate a high-level service that caters for all the needs of the passengers and meets all current and future requirements of the contract, the Contracting Authority’s policy and procedures and all relevant legislation. They will need to be able to supply appropriate, responsible, client-focused staff for all passengers, especially those with challenging needs. Contractors will also need to demonstrate that they can manage and support their Staff’s professional conduct and ensure that they, as individuals, understand and meet the service standards. Contractor’s will need to ensure there are robust formalised processes in place to ensure improvement where necessary.
We are looking for Contractor’s who will treat the Contracting Authority’s, schools, parents/carers and the passengers as valued customers. They should be open in their communication with the Contracting Authority at operational and management levels. The Contracting Authority expects to be promptly informed of service delays, accidents, issues or changes to the contract requirements. Contractor’s must also be able to effectively manage the performance of the contract at a strategic level, as well as analyse the current provision to ensure effective and innovative solutions. They will need to supply suitable vehicles dependent on the contract needs and there should also be strong contingency plans and arrangements in place to minimise interruptions in service due to unforeseen events.
The Council is seeking to commission Transport services under the following 8 Lots via the DPS

Lot 1 - Car 3 rear seats

Lot 2 - MPV 5 - 6 rear seats

Lot 3 - Minibus 7-16 seats

Lot 4 - Coach 17-31 seats

Lot 5 - Coach 32

Lot 6 - Tail lift vehicles suitable for wheelchair/s + seated passengers

Lot 7 - Wheelchair Accessible Hackney Carriage

Lot 8 - Passenger Assistants (PAs)

Providers may apply for any combination of Lots. There is no limit on the number of providers who can be admitted. Additional providers can join the DPS during the term of the DPS, subject to their applications meeting the entry requirements.

The Tender exercise is being ran using the ‘Open Procedure’ in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 with multiple Lots. The Lotting structure is as follows;
Lot 1 – Matting (Floor, Walls, Pillars)
Lot 2 – Scenario Rooms
The Contracting Authority shall evaluate each Lot separately, which may result in up to two contract awards and therefore up to two successful Suppliers.

description: National mandated changes by College of Policing in how Forces should deliver PPST, has led to a requirement of significantly more space than is available at Staffordshire Police. A new venue has therefore been acquired adjacent to the Police Weston Road Headquarters, for use to carry out all Public and Personal Safety Training (PPST) for Staffordshire Officers and Staff. Following its refurbishment (taking place in the next few months), the unit will require kitting out with specialist foam matting for the floors, walls and pillars, along with structures and furniture to allow for the safe scenarios to be utilised in training. The Contracting Authority is therefore inviting Tenderers to submit Tenders for the provision of Specialist Public and Personal Safety Training (PPST) Matting and Scenario Rooms, as specified within this Invitation to Tender (ITT).

description:
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified contractors to provide design, supply (including procurement, fabrication/assembly, factory testing, delivery to site), installation, commissioning and maintenance of the electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system at Portsmouth International Port (PIP).
The awarded contractor will be responsible for the  electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system from the incoming supply at the port boundary to shore connection and CMS. This includes:
•	Electrical integration of equipment including, but not limited to, shoreside sub-stations, transformers, frequency convertors, switch boards.
•	Cable management system (CMS) for the vessel connection system, usually comprising, but not limited to connection cabinet, dispenser(s), cables and plug system.
The awarded contractor will be responsible for sub-contracting any specialist works, such as CMS.
The council is aiming to award two contracts on 19th December 2023 to the preferred bidder:
1. CONTRACT FOR DESIGN, SUPPLY, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF EQUIPMENT - Value range of £12 - £14m. Following award the contract will start late Dec 2023 /early Jan 2024, with design complete by end of Q1 2024. This will be followed by an 11-month period for manufacture, supply & installation, with a further month for testing & commissioning, completing by 31st March 2025. Contract form will be NEC 4 Engineering and Construction Contract (EEC) with Option A.
2. CONTRACT TO PROVIDE ONGOING MAINTENANCE & SERVICING OF EQUIPMENT - Value is in the range £10,000 - £15,000 per annum. The initial  period is for 3 years in the range of £30,000-£45,000. An option to extend for a further 7 years, to a maximum total 10-year term would be in the range of £100,000 - £150,000. Contract form will be NEC 4 Term Service Contract (TSC) with Option A.
It is the council's clear preference for the successful Tenderer to enter into a contract on the basis of these terms and conditions, which have not been subject to any material changes.
Where changes are proposed that significantly alter the relative commercial and risk positions of the parties to the detriment of the council, this will result in significantly lower scores for this section of the proposal and may even result in bids being set aside in their entirety.
Site visits will be held at the Port on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October 2023 starting at 11.00am. Places to be booked via the correspondence function of Intend.
The procurement process will be in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).

description:
HEIW is seeking to engage the market to understand the technical solutions, delivery options and ideas that will inform a business case to determine the most appropriate method to replace the current Intrepid Trainee Database.  Due to the nature of this engagement, there is no guarantee that a procurement exercise will be undertaken following this PIN. Future requirements will be dependent on the outcome of an internal business case and its approval. However, this is an excellent opportunity for suppliers to help inform that case and engage with HEIW to determine the most appropriate method to realising its ambition.
The current trainee information database system holds all training information for HEIW’s trainees, this data includes trainee contact and Active Directory Identity information; training programme and placement information; information on trainee rotations; course attendance and CPD, annual assessments, study leave, and study leave budget.
Trainees can access the solution from any location. It is therefore expected that the solution will be Cloud hosted – in line with Welsh Governments ‘Cloud First’ strategy. The solution should also be ready to integrate with the NHS Wales Active Directory for user login and account authentication and provide interoperability with multiple existing systems via API solutions.
Overall, the solution must support the input and reporting of trainee and trainer information. Following work with existing stakeholders, the scope to be considered within this PIN is:
- The suppliers approach to delivering both phases of the project in partnership with HEIW.
- Allow for a ‘single sign-on’ solution integrating with the NHS Wales Active Directory.
- A system that allows the capture and reporting on HEIW Trainees and Trainers, including:
- Profile information.
- Post, Placement, Programme, CPD and Assessment outcome information.
- Study and annual leave for trainees.
- Report on trainee locations and rotations to new locations.
- Administration functions for users that will manage data for these users.
- Integration ability with other systems using modern API methods - RESTful, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), Health Level Seven International (HL7) etc.
- National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) cloud security guidance.
- To work with HEIW in an agile way to keep stakeholders informed of processes and change.
Indicative pricing will also be requested as part of this pre-market engagement. A summary of draft requirements will be sent to interested suppliers and it is intended to hold a Supplier Engagement event between 7th – 16th June 2023. Additional information: This contract will cover the following organisations:
Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW)

region: UKL

title: Trainee Platform for HEIW (Health Education  & Improvement Wales)

description:
Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) was established in 2018 as a Special Health Authority, bringing together three key organisations for health: the Wales Deanery; NHS Wales’s Workforce Education and Development Services (WEDS); and the Wales Centre for Pharmacy Professional Education (WCPPE).
HEIW has a broad range of responsibilities within NHS Wales. This includes the requirement to recruit and provide postgraduate education and training in the areas of: Medical; Dental; Pharmacy; and Optometry. To support this, HEIW has a ‘trainee information database’, which is supplied as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) by a third-party external partner.
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity to deliver an online ‘Trainee Platform’ for HEIW.  With a priority of replacing our existing ‘trainee information database’ system, this is the first phase of a wider requirement to incorporate 12 internally developed web applications alongside to create a single trainee platform. It is anticipated that HEIW will work in partnership, across a phased, multi-year programme of work to deliver the desired outcome.

Surrey County Council wishes to appoint a consultant to undertake an assessment of the baseline biodiversity units, at a range of public sector owned sites, and an appraisal of potential biodiversity unit gains (by enhancing, restoring or creating habitats). The opportunity for BNG uplift should take into account the current / future land use of the site and be realistic to achieve. The uplifts should also be based on ecological best practice and take account of existing local biodiversity policies, principally including Surrey Nature Partnership’s Biodiversity Opportunity Area (BOA) Policy statements (where relevant) and the National Character Area profiles for sites outside of BOA boundaries.  In addition, the County Council places significant importance on landscape-appropriate local carbon sequestration, tree planting and natural flood management (NFM) opportunities.  In particular, the county council has set a target to plant 1 million trees by 2030 and as Lead Local Flood Authority, has identified priority areas for catchment approaches to managing flood risk.
The County Council has recently completed a desk top exercise to provide a ‘best guess’ of habitat type across Surrey (OS master map feature). This data set will be available to the successful consultant, as a potential starting point for baseline surveys. In addition, previous ecology survey reports (such as Phase 1 habitat surveys, management plans) will also be made available for the site (where existing ecological data exists).
An initial shortlist of sites to be surveyed is provided in Appendix 1 of the specification.  This list is not exhaustive, considering the potential contract extension period, of up to a further 2 years.  Surrey County Council and the districts and boroughs, require that as many sites are surveyed in 2023 as possible. However, it is acknowledged that there is an optimum survey window and as such, site surveys will roll over into the 2024 survey season. As such, for 2023, an equal split of sites between the various landowners will be required to be surveyed.  A pre-commencement meeting will be held with the successful consultant to discuss the prioritisation of sites to be surveyed in 2023.
Upon contract award, a project start up meeting will be held with successful consultant and the relevant officers. This meeting will discuss the prioritisation of sites to be surveyed in 2023. It is anticipated that this would be held via Microsoft teams. In addition to the project start up meeting, a further three meetings as well as a project close out meeting will be held (5 meetings in total).

title: Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service

status: unsuccessful

statusDetails: discontinued

description: There is the potential for this contract to be commissioned with an extension period of up to five (5) years, however this will be subject to the outcome of the dialogue stage.

description: No Contract has been awarded   -   The aim of this procurement is to establish non-emergency patient transport services across the NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) locality.The Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS) will be provided to all eligible patients within the locality.  Currently over 14,000 journeys per month are undertaken.  NEPTS are a key enabler underpinning access to elective care and supporting timely and efficient discharge processes for acute and community providers. As a partner within the system, the NEPTS provider will support improvements across the system, enabling patient choice and equitable access for elective care.National planning guidance breaks down the patient transport system into four core components.  -triage and co-ordination-specialist services, which will require trained staff, often an adapted/specialist vehicle where the provider will be registered with the CQC.-non-specialist services, where a regular taxi or minibus is appropriate.  -reimbursement for private or public transport, either as part of NEPTS or the Healthcare Travel Cost Scheme (HTCS).  Consideration within these elements needs to be given to system relationships, improving integrated patient pathways including discharges, the wider transport system, including urgent services and local authority provision.The NEPTS New National Framework also includes five components to be included in the contract:-Updated eligibility criteria -Support for wider transport planning and journeys for all patients-Increased Transparency-Path to net zero in patient transport sector-Procurement and contract managementSignificant innovation is required for this service over the term of the contract which is why the ICB has opted to undertake a process akin to the Competitive Dialogue procedure. Dialogue will cover the published National Guidelines for NEPTS which highlights changes in the way NEPTS works moving forward and the local ICB considerations particularly around system integration and 5 year ICB plan when published.  The Contract will be for a term of 60 months (five years), with the possibility of extending the term for a period of 60 additional months (five years) beyond the initial contracted duration by agreement between the Authority and the Bidder.  The term of the contract is subject of the dialogue.The anticipated aggregate contract value is £104,527,000. across the potential 10 years, but this figure is subject to negotiation and dialogue as part of this advertised process.

or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further
clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.

title: Norfolk Film Office 2 Year Pilot Project

description: Norfolk County Council works in partnership with Norfolk’s local authorities and the New Anglia LEP to drive business growth and increase productivity and business profitability within Norfolk.   The County Council has a shared ambition with stakeholders in this sector, for Norfolk to capitalise on the growth of the UK TV and Film sector.Our partnership commissioned research into the film, television, commercial and associated sectors within Norfolk, to obtain an objective and statistical evidence base on the current state of the screen sector in Norfolk, conducted by Olsberg.SPI, and their report was delivered in February 2022.  Norfolk County Council are keen to progress the insights gained from that initial research and its recommendations and are in a position to fund a two-year Norfolk Film Office pilot project.  We believe the creation of an integrated front door for film enquiries, in addition to proactive promotion of Norfolk and its assets as film locations, development of databases of under or un-utilised locations, crew and facilities will all support an increase in filming days within Norfolk. Such an integrated film office will enable Norfolk to compete with other areas of the UK who have set up local authority funded film offices and are benefiting from additional income into the area. A contract has been awarded for this 2 year pilot.The two-year pilot project will enable Norfolk County Council and partners to understand what can be achieved from a small but dedicated investment of finance and local authority support into an integrated film office designed to work closely with all Norfolk’s public sector agencies, with the private screen sector and associated bodies.  The pilot programme will provide an evidence base as to a Film Office’s ability to deliver growth in location filming activity in Norfolk; an understanding of any income benefits to Norfolk’s local authorities and to the wider SME population; and evidence for the long-term viability of a stand-alone Film Office.  We anticipate the Film Office will support the creation of a dynamic and growing screen sector cluster within Norfolk. Additional information: The value included is exclusive of VAT

procurementMethodRationale:
This is a compliant exception due to the unforeseeable nature and extreme urgency of the requirement.
Regulation 32 of the PCR 15 allows for contracts to be awarded directly in certain circumstances e.g. extreme urgency or where no other provider or reasonable alternative provider who could provide the service.
Due to the extreme urgency associated with the displaced tenants BCC concludes that Regulation 32 can be relied upon to award this contract directly as a compliant breach.

name: Homes England (the trading name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency)

description:
The proposed transaction comprises two stages: (1) the acquisition of the freehold site by Homes England, and the novation to Homes England (with amendments) of an existing option agreement by which the Council granted certain exclusive rights to North West Quadrant LLP (NWQ LLP); and (2) the intention that Homes England and CSR will enter into a development agreement in respect of the NWQ Site within 12 months of acquisition of the NWQ Site.
NWQ LLP is a development subsidiary of Slough Urban Renewal LLP (SUR).  SUR was set up in March 2013 as a joint venture between the Council and CSR.  SUR’s role was to acquire and develop various sites owned by the Council.  NWQ LLP was established in November 2019 specifically in relation to the NWQ Site, and on the terms of specific arrangements set out in a partnership deed concluded at that time.  At the same time, the Council entered into an option agreement which granted to NWQ LLP, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, an option to acquire the NWQ Site through the grant of leases on a phased basis, and with a view to development.  The period of the option was until 22 March 2028.  Significant preparatory work has been undertaken by CSR or associated entities but, in light of financial pressures on the Council, further work on the development of the NWQ Site has currently been suspended.
Homes England wish to progress the development of the NWQ Site in furtherance of its statutory objectives to improve the supply and quality of housing in England; to secure the regeneration or development of land or infrastructure in England; to support in other ways the creation, regeneration or development of communities in England or their continued well-being; and to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and good design in England, with a view to meeting the needs of people living in England.  This transaction also supports the Government’s ambition for Homes England to respond to the long-term housing challenges facing this country by facilitating the delivery of new homes, where they are most needed, and to deliver a sustained improvement in affordability, using its funding and powers to play a more active role in the housing market, working with partners across the wider housing sector and increasing the pace, scale and quality of delivery.  Slough is an area of significant housing need in which there has been significant underperformance in housing delivery.  The NWQ Site is a c10 acre key gateway site in Slough, prominent in the town centre, and unlocking this stalled development will significantly increase supply and help to bring forward a significant number of new affordable homes.  Homes England also considers that development of the NWQ Site will act as a catalyst and help to bring forward other schemes within the wider area securing regeneration of the town and driving quality housing supply.
The existing option agreement prohibits the transfer of the Council’s freehold interest without a covenant by the transferee to observe and perform the Council’s obligations under the option agreement.  CSR would require NWQ LLP to stand upon its rights under the option agreement, which means in effect that Homes England would not be able to enter into arrangements for the development of the NWQ Site otherwise than with NWQ LLP or an associated entity acceptable to NWQ LLP and to CSR.  Given that NWQ LLP is unable to function effectively under the existing partnership agreements, the option agreement will be novated from the Council to Homes England and from NWQ LLP to CSR, rather than Homes England simply covenanting to observe and perform the Council’s obligations.  It is the intention of Homes England and CSR to enter into a development agreement in respect of the NWQ Site within 12 months of acquisition of the NWQ Site, failing which the novated option agreement would terminate.  During the 12 month period the obligations on both parties under the novated option agreement are suspended.

title: Acquisition and Development of Land - North West Quadrant, Slough

description: Homes England is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and is the trading name of the Homes and Communities Agency, a statutory corporation established by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008.  In line with its statutory objectives, Homes England intends to acquire the freehold of a site currently owned by Slough Borough Council (the Council) at William Street, Slough (known as North West Quadrant (the NWQ Site)), to enter into a novated option agreement with Community Solutions for Regeneration (Slough) Limited (CSR) as described below, and subsequently to enter into a development agreement with CSR to develop the NWQ Site.  To the extent that this transaction would otherwise require a call for competition pursuant to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) or the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (CCR), then entry into it is permitted by PCR reg 32(2)(b)(iii) or CCR reg 31(6)(b)(iii) because of the exclusive rights enjoyed by CSR or associated entities.

description: Residential homes construction work

mainProcurementCategory: works

procurementMethodRationale:
The proposed novated option agreement would not itself amount to a public works contract within the meaning of the PCR (or works concession within the meaning of the CCR), but it reflects Homes England’s intention to enter into a development agreement and leases of the NWQ Site to CSR.  Either those leases, or the contemplated development agreement between Homes England and CSR, may (depending upon their eventual terms) amount to a public works contract or a works concession.  Grant of leases on a phased basis pursuant to the development agreement will be subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent including planning and financial viability and entering into of the relevant build contracts.
However, the existing option agreement has created an exclusive right within the meaning of PCR reg 32(2)(b)(iii) or CCR reg 31(6)(b)(iii).   Although certain long-stop dates contained in the original option agreement may have expired, the suspension of work on the development has occurred at the request or with the concurrence of the Council and in circumstances such that the Council and Homes England would not be entitled to terminate the existing option agreement or treat NWQ LLP’s rights under the option agreement as at an end.  As set out above, this means that the works required for the development of the NWQ Site can only be supplied by CSR as a party acceptable to NWQ LLP.
No reasonable alternative or substitute exists.  There are no other sites in the Slough area which would offer a reasonable alternative for Homes England; there is a severely limited number of other sites of a broadly comparable size and those are either being developed by third parties or would take significant work to make them comparably ready for development and, in any event, these sites are not considered comparable in terms of location (including proximity to the railway station) or regeneration impact.
