This is a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice to communicate to the market the Authority's clear intention to award a public contract to the incumbent provider, HCRG Care Services Ltd for Y00033 - Purfleet Care Centre, by a negotiated procedure without prior publication, under regulation 32 (2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The Authority has made this decision for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the Authority and can confirm that the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with before 1st April 2023. This is to ensure that patient service continuity is maintained and to ensure that patients are not without a service from 1 April 2023, onwards.
The Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board ("the Authority") concluded a multi-lot procurement process for Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contracts under six Lots across Thurrock and Southend, which commenced on 6th October 2022. The Authority used an 'Open procedure' under Section 7 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020).
The 6 geographic Lots were as titled below:
• Lot 1 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y00999 Oddfellows Hall and St Clements
• Lot 2 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81110 Tilbury Health Centre (including Dilip and Chadwell)
• Lot 3 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y02807 Thurrock Health Centre
• Lot 4 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre
• Lot 5 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y00033 Purfleet Care Centre
• Lot 6 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81684 North Shoebury Practice
Summary of events:
• Prior Information Notice published on 7th September 2022 via Find a Tender Service (FTS) and early engagement opportunity via Contracts Finder (CF)
• 2 MS Teams 'Live' Market Engagement Events were held on 21st & 22nd September 2022
• Contract Notice published on 6th October 2022 in FTS (Notice reference: 2022-043094) and subsequently on CF, with a deadline for submission of ITT's on 14th November 2022.
• 35 potential Bidders expressed an interest in the tender documentation, nine of which submitted a tender by the deadline. All bidders passed the Qualification envelope, one Bidder withdrew from the competition, and the Authority's Evaluation Panel therefore conducted the quality and price evaluation on eight remaining Bidders ITTs, across the six Lots.
• As a result of the procurement process, the contracts for Lots 1 to 6 were awarded based on Most Economically Advantageous Tender, to a single provider called Spirit Healthcare Ltd
• Outcome letters were issued on 22nd December 2022 and the Authority adopted a voluntary standstill period, which expired midnight on 6th January 2023.
• The Contract Award Notice was published in FTS on 18th January 2023 followed by a notice in CF.
The contracts for Lots 1 to 6 were awarded in strict accordance with the Regulations and in conformity with the information contained in the Contract Notice and to date, the Authority has not received a legal challenge to the outcome of the procurement from any Bidder.
Unfortunately, since 18th January, several factors during the Preferred Bidder Stage and Mobilisation Phase, have resulted in an unfortunate situation whereby the Contracts for each of the six Lots have not been executed between the Preferred Bidder and the Authority, with the totality of such issues only becoming apparent on 15 March 2023. This resulted in a minimal amount of time for the ICB to ensure safe and effective mobilisation prior to 1st April 2023 via alternative routes. Please see the Justification Section for further details.
A decision has been made by the Preferred Bidder to step away from the Contract and not proceed to signature. As such, a decision has been made by the Authority to cancel the procurement and put in place emergency arrangements with incumbent providers to ensure continuity of provision of Primary Care Services for the population associated with each of the six lots across Southend and Thurrock. The ICB's key priority is ensuring safe and effective service continuity for the patient population associated with this practice from 1st April 2023.

title: Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract (Y00033 Purfleet Care Centre))

description:
This is a voluntary ex ante transparency notice and is intended to provide notice of the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board’s (hereinafter referred to as “the Authority”) intention (for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the Authority), to award a contract for Primary Medical Services under Regulation 32 (2) (c) to the incumbent provider HCRG Care Services Ltd, covering the following general medical practice for a period of 24 months with an additional 12 month extension provision to be enacted at the sole discretion of the Authority:
- Y00033 - Purfleet Care Centre - commencing 1st July 2023 until 30th June 2025 (with an extension provision of up to 30th June 2026) at an aggregate value of £2,406,483 (including the extension provision).
The Authority will observe a 10-day standstill from the date of publication of this VEAT, during which the ICB will not enter into any contractual arrangement.
The Service to which this procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended by as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, (the "Regulations"). As such, the Contracting Authority does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services.

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
Post- award, a decision was made by the Preferred Bidder on 15 March 2023 to step away from the awarded Contracts for all six Lots and not proceed to signature unless the ICB was willing provide the Preferred Bidder with a significant additional payment over and above the price submitted by the Preferred Bidder as part of its successful bid. This has resulted in the ICB's inability to conclude all six contracts with the Preferred Bidder within the 3 months set aside, after the implementation of its compliant procurement process undertaken and concluded by the ICB on 10th January.
As such, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by these events which were unforeseeable by the Authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation (via an accelerated procurement procedure) could not be complied with before 1st April 2023.
There is an unacceptable risk that there is insufficient time to complete a robust contract mobilisation involving critical mobilisation risks such as TUPE implementation, in a lawful, robust and safe manner.
As such, the ICB intend to use all reasonable endeavours to safeguard continued service delivery, for all eligible patients for 1st April 2023, minimising any inconvenience likely to be caused to patients as a result of the discontinuation of Primary Care Services for this Lot.
The ICB is thus mitigating the unacceptable risk of service failure by engaging with the incumbent providers of each Lot and focusing on local integration and collaboration. It is deemed that only the incumbent providers for each Lot are technically capable of ensuring Service continuity within timescales available, with new service commencing from 1st April 2023.
Since speaking to the incumbents, it became apparent that the providers were unable to accept 12 month contracts, and so the ICB has been left with no option but to agree longer term contracts in order to ensure service continuity to patients that is in line with the ICB's and NHS strategic direction. Due to the extremely short timescales involved (a new service was required from 1 April 2023, and notification from the Preferred Bidder was received on 15 March 2023, which only allowed the ICB 11 working days to seek alternative services from other providers), the ICB was left with no option but to agree to such terms during negotiations and is confident that this enables vital service development and improvement as well as enabling the future recommissioning of relevant services in the future, via undertaking a robust procurement exercise.
As such, a decision was made by the Authority to abandon the procurement  (which was communicated to bidders accordingly) and put in place emergency arrangements with incumbent providers to ensure continuity of provision of Primary Care Services for the population associated with each of the six lots across Southend and Thurrock. The ICB's key priority is ensuring safe and effective service continuity for the patient population associated with these practices from 1st April 2023.

- F81110 - Tilbury Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2026 (and extension provision to 31st March 2027) at an aggregate value of £6,419,514.
- Y02807 - Thurrock Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2026 (and extension provision to 31st March 2027) at an aggregate value of £2,739,153.
- F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2026 (and extension provision to 31st March 2027) at an aggregate value of £6,164,884.
This equates to a total aggregate contract value of £20,177,468 across the four practices over the 3 + 1 year term.
The Authority will observe a 10-day standstill from the date of publication of this VEAT, during which the ICB will not enter into any contractual arrangement.
The Service to which this procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended by as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, (the "Regulations"). As such, the Contracting Authority does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services.

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodRationale:
Post- award, a decision was made by the Preferred Bidder on 15 March 2023 to step away from the awarded Contracts for all six Lots and not proceed to signature unless the ICB was willing provide the Preferred Bidder with a significant additional payment over and above the price submitted by the Preferred Bidder as part of its successful bid. This has resulted in the ICB's inability to conclude all six contracts with the Preferred Bidder within the 3 months set aside, after the implementation of its compliant procurement process undertaken and concluded by the ICB on 10th January.
As such, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by these events which were unforeseeable by the Authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation (via an accelerated procurement procedure) could not be complied with before 1st April 2023.
There is an unacceptable risk that there is insufficient time to complete a robust contract mobilisation involving critical mobilisation risks such as TUPE implementation, in a lawful, robust and safe manner.
As such, the ICB intend to use all reasonable endeavours to safeguard continued service delivery, for all eligible patients for 1st April 2023, minimising any inconvenience likely to be caused to patients as a result of the discontinuation of Primary Care Services for this Lot.
The ICB is thus mitigating the unacceptable risk of service failure by engaging with the incumbent providers of each Lot and focusing on local integration and collaboration. It is deemed that only the incumbent providers for each Lot are technically capable of ensuring Service continuity within timescales available, with new service commencing from 1st April 2023.
Since speaking to the incumbents, it became apparent that the providers were unable to accept 12 month contracts, and so the ICB has been left with no option but to agree longer term contracts in order to ensure service continuity to patients that is in line with the ICB's and NHS strategic direction. Due to the extremely short timescales involved (a new service was required from 1 April 2023, and notification from the Preferred Bidder was received on 15 March 2023, which only allowed the ICB 11 working days to seek alternative services from other providers), the ICB was left with no option but to agree to such terms during negotiations and is confident that this enables vital service development and improvement as well as enabling the future recommissioning of relevant services in the future, via undertaking a robust procurement exercise.
As such, a decision was made by the Authority to abandon the procurement (which was communicated to bidders accordingly) and put in place emergency arrangements with incumbent providers to ensure continuity of provision of Primary Care Services for the population associated with each of the six lots across Southend and Thurrock. The ICB's key priority is ensuring safe and effective service continuity for the patient population associated with these practices from 1st April 2023.

description:
This is a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice to communicate to the market the Authority's clear intention to award a public contract to the incumbent provider, North Shoebury Surgery for F81684 North Shoebury Practice, by a negotiated procedure without prior publication, under regulation 32 (2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The Authority has made this decision for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the Authority and can confirm that the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation could not be complied with before 1st April 2023. This is to ensure that patient service continuity is maintained and to ensure that patients are not without a service from 1 April 2023, onwards.
The Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board ("the Authority") concluded a multi-lot procurement process for Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contracts under six Lots across Thurrock and Southend, which commenced on 6th October 2022. The Authority used an 'Open procedure' under Section 7 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020).
The 6 geographic Lots were as titled below:
• Lot 1 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y00999 Oddfellows Hall and St Clements
• Lot 2 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81110 Tilbury Health Centre (including Dilip and Chadwell)
• Lot 3 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y02807 Thurrock Health Centre
• Lot 4 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre
• Lot 5 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - Y00033 Purfleet Care Centre
• Lot 6 - Provision of Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract - F81684 North Shoebury Practice
Summary of events:
• Prior Information Notice published on 7th September 2022 via Find a Tender Service (FTS) and early engagement opportunity via Contracts Finder (CF)
• 2 MS Teams 'Live' Market Engagement Events were held on 21st & 22nd September 2022
• Contract Notice published on 6th October 2022 in FTS (Notice reference: 2022-043094) and subsequently on CF, with a deadline for submission of ITT's on 14th November 2022.
• 35 potential Bidders expressed an interest in the tender documentation, nine of which submitted a tender by the deadline. All bidders passed the Qualification envelope, one Bidder withdrew from the competition, and the Authority's Evaluation Panel therefore conducted the quality and price evaluation on eight remaining Bidders ITTs, across the six Lots.
• As a result of the procurement process, the contracts for Lots 1 to 6 were awarded based on Most Economically Advantageous Tender, to a single provider called Spirit Healthcare Ltd
• Outcome letters were issued on 22nd December 2022 and the Authority adopted a voluntary standstill period, which expired midnight on 6th January 2023.
• The Contract Award Notice was published in FTS on 18th January 2023 followed by a notice in CF.
The Authority's position is that the contracts for Lots 1 to 6 were awarded in strict accordance with the Regulations and in conformity with the information contained in the Contract Notice and to date, the Authority has not received a legal challenge to the outcome of the procurement from any Bidder.
Unfortunately, since 18th January, several factors during the Preferred Bidder Stage and Mobilisation Phase, have resulted in an unfortunate situation whereby the Contracts for each of the six Lots have not been executed between the Preferred Bidder and the Authority, with the totality of such issues only becoming apparent on 15 March 2023. This resulted in a minimal amount of time for the ICB to ensure safe and effective mobilisation prior to 1st April 2023 via alternative routes. Please review the Justification section for further details.
A decision has been made by the Preferred Bidder to step away from the Contract and not proceed to signature. As such, a decision has been made by the Authority to cancel the procurement and put in place emergency arrangements with incumbent providers to ensure continuity of provision of Primary Care Services for the population associated with each of the six lots across Southend and Thurrock. The ICB's key priority is ensuring safe and effective service continuity for the patient population associated with this practice from 1st April 2023.

This is a voluntary Prior Information Notice (PIN) for services likely to be procured in relation to the provision of rail passenger services and other related services for Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth Line and London Overground. The purpose of this notice is to alert the supplier community to these potential opportunities, and to assist Transport for London with developing aspects of its procurement strategy.
1.	The purpose of this PIN is to:
(a)	alert potential suppliers to opportunities in relation to the provision of rail passenger services for:
(i)	Docklands Light Railway
(ii)	Elizabeth Line
(iii)	London Overground
(b)	inform potential suppliers of possible early market engagement arrangements in relation to the procurement of rail passenger services and other related services for Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth Line and London Overground; and
(c)	invite potential suppliers to register an expression of interest in taking part in any market engagement exercise and/or participating in any subsequent procurement process.
2.	Transport for London, through its subsidiary companies, Docklands Light Railway Limited (DLRL) and Rail for London Limited (RfL), may wish to undertake early market engagement in relation to its proposals for the procurement of rail passenger services and other related services.
3.	The purpose of any early market engagement would be to receive market feedback that may be used to assist DLRL and RfL in understanding the current supply market and to help scope and structure their respective requirements for the procurement of rail passenger services and other related services for Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth Line and London Overground.
4.	The precise nature of any such early market engagement will be determined by DLRL and RfL, which may take the form of a supplier briefing day and/or other direct engagement with potential suppliers either collectively or on a one-to-one basis.
5.	Should DLRL and/or RfL wish to hold a supplier briefing day or any other similar industry day, it is anticipated that this would be held in late May or early June 2023
6.	Potential suppliers interested in taking part in any market engagement exercise and/or participating in any subsequent procurement process are requested to express an interest by following the instructions detailed in section VI.1 and TfL will provide details of any proposed early market engagement.

1.	Any parties interested in taking part in any market engagement exercise are required to register their interest by emailing TfLRailProcurements@tfl.gov.uk and providing details of your organisation and key contact details.
2.	Any parties interested in taking part in any subsequent procurement process are requested to register their interest by emailing TfLRailProcurements@tfl.gov.uk and providing details of your organisation and key contact details.
3.	Neither the registration or non-registration of interest nor the participation or non-participation in any early market engagement will advantage or disadvantage any supplier's ability to participate in any future procurement activity.
4.	This PIN does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement and does not constitute a commitment by TfL or any of its subsidiaries to undertake any procurement exercise. In the event that TfL decides to formally commence the procurement of the DLR Franchise Agreement, or the Elizabeth Line or London Overground Concession Agreements separate contract notices will be issued.
5.	TfL (including any of its subsidiaries) will not enter into a contract based solely on the responses to this PIN or any subsequent early market engagement exercise and no information contained in this document or in any communication made between TfL, its subsidiaries or advisers and any supplier in connection with this PIN or any early market engagement exercise shall be relied upon as constituting a contract, agreement or representation that any contract shall be offered in accordance with this PIN.
6.	Potential suppliers shall be solely responsible for any costs which they incur as a result of responding to this PIN and participating in any aspect of any subsequent early market engagement exercise or procurement process.
7.	This PIN is being issued in a substantially similar form on both forms T01 and F04 on the same date. This is because procurement of Docklands Light Railway services is currently expected to be undertaken under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, whereas procurement of Elizabeth line and London Overground services is currently expected to be undertaken under regulation 1370/2007 (as that regulation forms part of retained EU law). However, Transport for London considers there to be potential advantages and efficiencies of undertaking possible early market engagement concurrently for Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth Line and London Overground services.
8.	As applicable for the purposes of this notice, the Start date, Duration in months and Estimated date of publication of contract notice relate to the possible Docklands Light Railway procurement, are included for indicative purposes only and are subject to change. As part of any possible early market engagement, Transport for London (including DLR and RfL) would expect to engage with potential suppliers in relation to some or all of these matters and therefore these are subject to possible amendment.

region: UK

title: HHT - PTP CAM Suite - Proof of Concept - Advanced Customer Services

description: Software support services

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
In summary, DWP has procured Advanced Customer Services Engineering Professional Services (ACS&EP Services) from Oracle to ascertain whether the department’s existing PTP CAM suite which is underpinned by Oracle heritage products and platforms can be successfully upgraded to meet DWP’s business functional requirements. As explained below, DWP relied on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) to award the ACS&EP Services contract directly to Oracle.
A.	The works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator as competition is absent for technical reasons: The underpinning platform supporting the PTP CAM suite is based on legacy Oracle infrastructure and bespoke products/Oracle configuration. Therefore, for this Proof of Concept (PoC), Oracle is the only supplier that can build, configure and upgrade the product stack, migrate to an upgraded platform and provide confidence that the PTP CAM suite in the upgraded platform is supportable and tested to ensure it successfully meets required business functional requirements.
B.	No reasonable alternative or substitute exists: The ACS&EP Services relate to Oracle products/licences which have already been procured, as such there are no reasonable alternative or substitute services available from any alternative software provider/third party.
C.	The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement: The parameters of the procurement have not been artificially narrowed given the underlying technology infrastructure is already on DWP’s estate and the required ACS&EP Services relate to work on that technology infrastructure.

National Grid Electricity Transmission (ET) own and maintain the high voltage electricity network in England and Wales comprising 4,500 miles of overhead line, 900 miles of underground cable and more than 300 substations.
Our cables and substations are at the centre of the energy system. Every time a phone is plugged in or switch is turned on, we've played a part, connecting homes and business to the electricity they need. It's a crucial role and pivotal in turning the UK's net zero ambitions into reality.
We're leading by example by offering practical solutions, delivering the infrastructure needed to support increasing amounts of renewable energy and facilitate a nationwide rollout of electric vehicle charging points - all at the same time as delivering work sustainably and cutting our own emissions too. We deliver for customers efficiently, ensuring safe, reliable and affordable electricity around the clock no matter what the weather.
We're striving to meet those commitments by driving operational excellence whilst contributing positively to the communities in which we operate. To underpin our operational excellence journey, we need to transform our Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system to accommodate changes including the adoption of predictive maintenance activities, increased digitalisation of business processes and the optimisation of work management.
The support for our existing EAM system is due for renewal in 2025, at which point it will also be nearing its end of life. This confluence of events presented an opportunity to reassess the market to address our priorities.
The new solution and architecture must align to our ambition whilst being a good functional fit with broader National Grid systems for HR, Procurement and Finance.
The current Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) application manages the:
a) Registry of the transmission assets.
b) Maintenance and other work associated with those assets.
c) Inventory relationship for MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations).
d) Scheduling of MRO activities.
e) Faults and defect management.
f) Asset condition and performance data.
g) Cost and time information across capital and maintenance work.
h) Wayleave information.
i) Field worker's timesheets and feeds into the SAP payroll system.
At present, this system supports up to 600 concurrent users across the ET business including both the 2,000 fieldworkers and their office-based support teams. In future, 3rd party contractors will also need to be added to this community.
In the coming years our system will experience added complexity arising from the investment required to achieve Net Zero. To ensure we are prepared a range of options for the provision of asset registry, work and asset management capabilities have been identified, and detailed analysis, including Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) undertaken throughout 2022.
This has determined that a like-for-like replacement of our existing EAM system will not meet the future needs of our business. This will require new technologies such as:
•	Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
•	Digitally enabled workers.
•	Digital twins.
•	Advanced data analytics.
•	Digital turnaround solutions.
•	Real-time visualisation and alerts.
•	Predictive analysis.
•	The integration and automation of systems and processes - Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
The preferred solution is to replace the current EAM system with IBM Maximo. Maximo is a market leading work and asset management solution that meets the requirements outlined above and is seen to have the capabilities to support ET's strategic ambitions and maintaining safe, reliable and affordable service to our customer.

Introduction to Seascapes Programme:

To support marine biodiversity through protected area networks, Defra is designing a Seascapes Programme (expected to be up to £50m) to support the effective implementation, management and enforcement of transboundary Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECM) networks, or 'Seascapes'. Well-managed Seascapes bring specific ecological benefits such as the survival of migratory species and strengthening ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. The programme aims to deliver outcomes through four pathways:

1. Biodiversity and MPA management
2. Incursion monitoring and enforcement
3. Institutional governance and financing
4. Livelihoods and communities

The programme will deliver in a minimum of three Seascapes. The first of these is planned to be in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, supporting CMAR, and delivery is planned to commence January 2024.

The CMAR initiative is a collaboration between Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama focused on the conservation and sustainable use of resources in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor.  In 2021 the four countries agreed to expand and connect their MPAs to establish a transboundary MPA network that created migratory swimways for key marine species.  The UK has provided some initial support to the region, and seeks to build on this through its Seascapes Programme.

title: Seascapes Programme (Blue Planet Fund) Stakeholder Engagement Event

description:
This notice is to promote interest in a Stakeholder Engagement Event for a new Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme called Seascapes which will aim to support international MPA networks in eligible countries.  The first region it will support is the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), focussing on the marine corridor area (CMAR initiative).

We are hosting an information-gathering session for interested parties on Wednesday 19th April 2023. You are invited to join the web conference at 15:00-17:00 GMT.

The purpose of the event is to share information about the Seascapes Programme and gather information from key stakeholders to inform our future tender for the work to be carried out in the ETP region under the programme.  We will outline the programme's rationale, aims and objectives in the ETP region.  We will ask several questions of attendees, and request active participation.  We would welcome participation from governments, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and research organisations, and other interested parties.  We will run market engagement events for additional regions at a later date.

The event is not part of a tendering process, although there may be such opportunities in future years.  Defra reserves the right not to commit to a commercial arrangement following this market engagement event.

Please register by following the instructions within the Additional information (section II.2.14.1) of this notice by 17th April at 17:00 GMT.

The event will take place in English.
