description:
MOPAC and partners are now looking to work alongside a professional consultant who will co-produce a new, user-centred Target Operating Model (TOM) for sexual violence services in London and develop a plan with partners to implement the new model (Transition Plan).
The Target Operating Model should be informed by Dynamic Demand and Capacity Modelling and be significantly shaped by the input of service users with lived experience.  Both the Target Operating Model and the Transition Plan must be designed with, and supported by, MOPAC's Key Statutory and VCSE Partners as well as supplement and enhance the work of the transformation programmes taking place in how the criminal justice system and health services are responding to sexual violence.
The Potential Provider must exhibit excellent data science, user-led service design, stakeholder management and communication skills in working alongside MOPAC and Key Partners to deliver the following objectives:
• Provide a thorough and dynamic demand and capacity model to enable a shared understanding of how well existing services are meeting demand as well as to test how different operating models would affect the capacity of services in London to meet demand
as part of agreeing the TOM;
• Development of realistic and sustainable options co-produced by service users (and advocates for service users) for meeting the demand for sexual violence services in London within existing resources and which compliments and supports the work of in train transformation programmes of both services and statutory provision, including (but not limited to) Operation Soteria Bluestone and the Havens One Site model;
• Assist decision makers to understand the costs, benefits, and risks of the potential models;
as well as any limitations of the available evidence base, critical dependencies, and the margin for error in the calculations to inform effective decision making on the future of victim
care;
• Assist in securing broad partnership support for the new approach to commissioned sexual violence services in London through a robust evidence base;
• Map out a clear and deliverable route to establishing the TOM, including potential procurement routes; and
• Provide a sufficient basis for the management, monitoring and evaluation to enable MOPAC and partners to proceed with implementation of the TOM. Additional information: Linked to PIN 034808-2022

MOPAC is responsible for commissioning a range of services for victims of crime in London.  In so doing, MOPAC is committed to evolving the support available to victims in London and
in ensuring limited resources are being utilised effectively to meet rising levels of demand.
The drivers for the current challenges facing the sexual violence services include rising levels of demand and complexity of cases which are being exacerbated by delays in police investigations and court backlogs as well as workforce issues stemming from these collective pressures. Concurrently, transformation programmes are underway in both how the police and CPS deal with sexual violence as well as the NHS-led Sexual Assault Referral Centres.

title: Rapid Manufacture Ventilator System-Direct purchase agreement for Prima ES02 model 10000 Units

status: cancelled

description:
The ‘Rapid Manufacture Ventilator Systems (RMVS) programme’ is a workstream within the ventilator challenge progressing novel and modified designs for ventilator devices, manufactured on a rapid basis to ensure sufficient capacity within the NHS.
Cabinet Office, who are running the RMVS programme on behalf of the UK government, engaged with a wide range of suppliers, including designers, manufacturers and component suppliers, to progress a number of ventilator models (by taking forward existing designs through licencing agreements and by developing new products based on existing products and based on new original designs) resulting in the manufacturer of ventilators to meet the identified need.

Quality

type: price

region: UK

status: complete

description:
The ‘Ventilator Challenge’ was created by the UK government and delivered across several government departments (Department of Health and Social Care, Cabinet Office and Ministry of Defence) as part of the drive to increase ventilator supply and support the UK National Health Service (NHS) in its response to the Coronavirus disease global pandemic (Covid-19).
In March 2020, the Prime Minister called on manufacturers to help the UK to step up production of ventilators to support the UK’s response to the virus and save lives. This included working on new or adapted ventilator designs, as well the Government's work to buy ventilators from abroad.
This contract was awarded as a result of the RMVS project.
RMVS CANs
Existing CANs relating to the RMVS project are 2020/S 100-243206, 2020/S 167-406004 and 2021/S 002-003456 (RMVS CANs).
Due to the need to  respond rapidly to the emerging situation, some design work, testing, developing and manufacturing was undertaken before a formalised contract with known costs and outputs was put in place between Cabinet Office and those RMVS suppliers at the time of the RMVS CANs.
Instead Cabinet Office gave commitments to those RMVS suppliers to enable those suppliers to support the RMVS project at significant pace and to mitigate those suppliers operating entirely at risk during extremely turbulent and changing circumstances. The RMVS CANs reflected the estimated values as best known at the time and cost caps within which suppliers were operating.
At the time of the RMVS CANs, in order to be as transparent as possible with the market, information available at the time of entering into those commitments was provided, notwithstanding that it was expected to take several months to settle on the final output and resulting contracts.
The RMVS CANs were therefore published to notify the market of the estimated and maximum limits of the commitments Cabinet Office had entered into to support the RMVS project. Where a supplier appears on more than one RMVS CAN, this reflects an increase to the estimate or cost cap previously notified to the market.
This contract is the Ventilator Challenge: Provision of Rapid Manufacture Ventilator Systems (RMVS) resulting from the support by Penlon Ltd to the RMVS project and which is the output of Penlon Ltd appearing on 2020/S 100-243206 of the RMVS CANs.

procurementMethod: limited

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

procurementMethodRationale:
The COVID-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The use of ventilator equipment is critical in treating patients with COVID-19 to take over the body’s breathing process when the disease has caused the lungs to fail and allow the patient time to fight off the infection and recover.
In March the NHS across the UK had access to approximately 8,000 ventilators. Modelling based the trajectory of other European countries forecast the need for significant and extremely rapid increase in the UK ventilator capacity. The Prime Minister set the ambition on 16 March 2020 for industry to manufacture as many new ventilators as possible, recognising that coronavirus is the biggest threat this country had seen for decades and that we faced a moment of national emergency. Significant quantities of extra ventilators would be required to treat seriously ill patients during the first wave of infections. Similar shortfalls in ventilator stocks were identified globally. Pressure to increase manufacturing capacity of ventilators was immense, requiring novel designs and new supply chains to be rapidly created to meet that demand. In these circumstances a procurement following the usual timescales under the PCR 2015, including accelerated options, was impossible. Ventilator manufacturers and supply chains were under immediate and unprecedented global pressure to provide products. A delay in engaging with the market by running a usual procurement process ran the risk of failing to acquire the necessary stock of ventilator equipment and presenting a significant risk to life.
Cabinet Office is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
1. As far as is strictly necessary: The Ventilator Challenge was identified as strictly necessary to meet anticipated demand on the NHS during the first wave of cases in the UK.
2. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to COVID-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
3. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: “The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.” (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 01.04.2020).
4. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: There was no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open, restricted or competitive procedures with negotiation that would allow it to secure delivery of products, particularly in light of the corresponding delays to timelines associated with securing increased manufacturing capacity and component supply within the required timescales.
5. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority: It has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

We want as many cyclists as possible to use and enjoy a well-connected cycling network across the river in east and southeast London. To ensure that the Silvertown Tunnel can play an integral role in this, we are proposing the introduction of a new cross-river cycling service, to be fully operational and ready help transport cyclists across the Thames when the tunnel opens in 2025.
There are two transport mode choices on offer to the market - Shuttle Bus, and Shuttle Ferry.
For shuttle bus provision the provider would be required to be licensed to carry public fare-paying passengers and to provide a number of specially converted electric buses for carrying cyclists and bicycles, drivers and comprehensive operational support systems. They would need to work closely with a provider of various signage and street furniture.
For shuttle ferry provision, the provider would be required to be licensed to carry public fare-paying passengers on the Thames river and to provide one or more electric ferry vessels suitable to carrying cyclists and bicycles, suitable pontoons for access, vessel supervisors and comprehensive operational support systems. They would need to work closely with the boroughs to secure the relevant permissions to use existing piers.
The service would be in place for up to three years from Tunnel Opening date. Extension would depend on performance and on the volume of use by cyclists of the service.
The Silvertown Tunnel Cross-River Cycle Service is the sole focus of this Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ), Additional information: You are invited to complete the market sounding questionnaire found at https://forms.office.com/e/ubnYqP8n9n

description:
Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB has a vision to deliver a truly integrated community gynaecology service working collaboratively across Acute, Community and Primary Care to provide specialist assessment and treatment for gynaecological conditions delivered in community settings closer to patients’ homes to improve the quality of care delivered for patients with gynaecological conditions in South and West Hertfordshire (SWH). The SWH vision is for the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service (ECGS) to be the default preference for patients requiring specialist assessment and treatment for gynaecological conditions within the South and West Hertfordshire area.
The service will provide an integrated model for gynaecology which will include out-patients, fast access to a range of diagnostic and out-patient procedure activity currently undertaken in existing community and secondary care Gynaecology services.  In addition to specialist assessment, treatment and non-complex procedures the service will act as a mechanism to ensure appropriate onward referral into secondary care in-patient elective care. The provider will be expected to have in place close working relationships with the Acute Services to operate direct listing with the ICB’s main providers of Secondary Care.
Further information on the service to be provided is in the attached draft Service Specification for the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service which can be found within the Suppliers attachments area of the Bravo e-procurement portal.
To this end, the ICB has been working in partnership with its key provider stakeholders (the incumbent providers) to bring the three pathways across Acute, Community and Primary Care together into an integrated multi-disciplinary model which meets that vision and improves the quality of care for the patient population of South and West Hertfordshire.
Through these discussions with current incumbent stakeholders, HWE ICB believes it has identified the providers most capable and uniquely placed of leading and delivering the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service.  Those key provider stakeholders are: The Gynaecology Partnership Ltd, West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals, Royal Free London Hospitals, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS FT and GPs within South and West Hertfordshire.
It has been determined that this local integrated partnership arrangement is working well and achieving good outcomes for South and West Hertfordshire patients. The current providers deliver a local integrated service which supports a resilient healthcare system with GP-led and Consultant-led service elements which operates across Primary Care, Community and Secondary Care Services. The service provides opportunities to increase access to healthcare, reduce health inequalities and disparities, promoting patient choice through provision of a local community gynaecology multidisciplinary team, including Consultants on the specialist part of the register, GPs with Special Interest, Gynaecology Nurse Specialists, and local GPs/Practice Nurses as part of the service to deliver seamless care pathways in community settings.
To participate in discussions regarding fulfilling the role of the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service, the lead provider must:
(i) be willing to work with the current providers as outlined above and with each of our existing GP practices and primary care networks,
(ii) have previous experience of leading multi-disciplinary integrated care service delivery,
(iii) a willingness to sign up to appropriate system wide outcomes,
(iv) have a good understanding of the local system and operating environment, and
(v) have the necessary financial capabilities to hold and manage the scale of risk of overspend for the contract and be willing to participate as a part of the wider HCP through taking a degree of income risk share and signing up to an Alliance Agreement with all other key provider stakeholders in the system. Additional information: This process is being conducted via the Attain Bravo e-procurement portal, the draft specification and the Request for Information document can be accessed via the below web address:
https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login

The purpose of this PIN is to invite interested providers, who are willing to make the commitment to collaboration in an alliance way of working, and who believe they have the necessary skills and experience to deliver the requirements set out to respond to a Request for Information.
Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB has a vision to deliver a truly integrated community gynaecology service working collaboratively across Acute, Community and Primary Care to provide specialist assessment and treatment for gynaecological conditions delivered in community settings closer to patients’ homes to improve the quality of care delivered for patients with gynaecological conditions in South and West Hertfordshire (SWH). The SWH vision is for the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service (ECGS) to be the default preference for patients requiring specialist assessment and treatment for gynaecological conditions within the South and West Hertfordshire area.
The service will provide an integrated model for gynaecology which will include out-patients, fast access to a range of diagnostic and out-patient procedure activity currently undertaken in existing community and secondary care Gynaecology services.  In addition to specialist assessment, treatment and non-complex procedures the service will act as a mechanism to ensure appropriate onward referral into secondary care in-patient elective care. The provider will be expected to have in place close working relationships with the Acute Services to operate direct listing with the ICB’s main providers of Secondary Care.
Further information on the service to be provided is in the attached draft Service Specification for the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service which can be found within the Suppliers attachments area of the Bravo e-procurement portal.
To this end, the ICB has been working in partnership with its key provider stakeholders (the incumbent providers) to bring the three pathways across Acute, Community and Primary Care together into an integrated multi-disciplinary model which meets that vision and improves the quality of care for the patient population of South and West Hertfordshire.
Through these discussions with current incumbent stakeholders, HWE ICB believes it has identified the providers most capable and uniquely placed of leading and delivering the Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service.  Those key provider stakeholders are: The Gynaecology Partnership Ltd, West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals, Royal Free London Hospitals, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS FT and GPs within South and West Hertfordshire.

description: Software trials and integration support

description: Software trials and integration support

description: Software support services

procurementMethodRationale:
The Lightning Delivery Team (LDT), part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (‘BAES’) to provide support to Mission Planning Environment (MPE) software integration. This will involve the running of software trials and developing reports to provide the Authority with evidence to support its safety assurance on the MPE software developed under the Lightning Programme. This evidence then forms the basis of the Authority’s safety case approvals.
It is considered that this requirement can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The Lightning Programme Prime Contractor, Lockheed Martin, will only share in-depth software details with BAES due to their position within the Programme. BAES possesses accreditation from LM and the US Government which enables them to access the software in accordance with security requirements. To conduct the level of safety assurance the Authority requires an independent organisation needs to have in-depth access to the software. No independent contractor other BAES would have such access. Significant additional risk would be carried in the operation of the Lightning without the level of assurance in the software that is provided by BAES. BAES have a representative test environment in which this software can be integrated with Lightning hardware and software to provide further assurance on the new MPE software.

NHS England (NHSE) wishes to notify potential providers of its intention to commence early market engagement, in advance of the procurement of a Dispense & Delivery service to support the NHS SWMS Pilot Programme.
On the 27th March 2023 the government approved £40m over 2 years to explore how approved weight loss drugs can be made safely available to more people by expanding specialist weight management services outside of hospital settings.  The NHS SWMS Pilot Programme is an initiative led by NHSE under request and through funding from the Department of Health and Social Care.
The NHS SWMS Pilot Programme will consist of several pilots across a small number of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) within England that will test the delivery of three innovative models of delivery from General Practice, existing Tier 3 services and new digital provision for Specialist Weight Management Services and pharmacotherapy. The pilot will include the dispensing and delivery of specific obesity medication which are licenced by the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the subject of a relevant NICE Technology Appraisal. Additional information: The NHS SWMS Pilot Programme will operate independently of local authority commissioned services.  The service is not intended to replace any SWMS locally commissioned by ICBs or local authorities, instead providing additional flexible capacity locally to meet the demands of the NHSE pilot approach to test novel service models of access.
As per the NHS Act Section 7, the dispensing service must be via a Community Pharmacy on the existing pharmaceutical list.  In addition, the Community Pharmacy must be GPhC registered and have a national footprint for delivery to patients home address.

title: NHS SWMS Pilot Programme – Dispense & Delivery Service

description:

The existing NHS Scotland Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) contract is coming to an end and National Services Scotland (NSS) is managing a procurement exercise on behalf of NHS Scotland to procure a new PACS solution.
The objective of this programme is to undertake a PACS Re-procurement exercise to establish a replacement national contractual arrangement that is sustainable and can evolve over time at a pace that is acceptable to the NHS in Scotland. To achieve a more effective and joined up imaging environment that supports changes to the clinical workflows required to implement the new Scotland Radiology Model.
As a minimum, the new contract for the PACS service aims to:
- Provide a modern, secure PACS system which will support the evolving models of care;
- Support the Scottish Government’s Digital Health and Care Strategy 2021;
- Enable evolving Scottish Government strategies related to integration, cyber security, digital imaging, Radiology transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and person-centred care.
The current PACS IT Solution for Acute services comprises a fully replicated central national PACS, which captures radiological images and reports from 22 (by Summer 2022) local PACS instances across 15 NHS Boards. A separate PACS solution for the Scottish Breast Screening Programme (SBSP) consists of six local PACS instances and a separate central archive.

reviewDetails:
The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made) applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the contract which notification will contain among other information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant contract. The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the contract until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the contract has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the contract to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the contract has been entered into will not affect the contract unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the contract has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not prevent the authority from awarding the contract following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
The Public Sector in Scotland is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce that is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and skills development, diverse and engaged in decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service.
Public Bodies in Scotland are adopting fair work practices, which include:
— a fair and equal pay policy that includes a commitment to supporting the living wage, including, for example being a living wage
accredited employer;
— clear managerial responsibility to nurture talent and help individuals fulfil their potential, including for example, a strong commitment
to modern apprenticeships and the development of Scotland's young workforce;
— promoting equality of opportunity and developing a workforce which reflects the population of Scotland in terms of characteristics such
as age, gender, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation and disability;
— support for learning and development;
— stability of employment and hours of work, and avoiding exploitative employment practices, including for example no inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts;
— flexible working (including for example practices such as flexi-time and career breaks) and support for family friendly working and
wider work life balance;
— support progressive workforce engagement, for example Trade Union recognition and representation where possible, otherwise
alternative arrangements to give staff an effective voice.
In order to ensure the highest standards of service quality in this contract we expect contractors to take a similarly positive approach to fair work practices as part of a fair and equitable employment and reward package.
Bidders who are invited to submit an initial bid will need to describe how they will commit to fair work practices for workers (including any agency or subcontractor workers) engaged in the delivery of this contract.
A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see:

APPENDIX A
SPECIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS
The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an open source electron beam selective melting (EBSM) 3D printing machine. The machine will be a part of an investment by the University of Birmingham to facilitate/support the development of components for the UK's nuclear, space, and defence sectors. In this context, the machine will be used to develop new applications for the technology in collaboration with the end-users and carry out feasibility studies and pilot projects to address the specific requirements of these sectors. Therefore, it will be required as part of the project to build strong partnerships with the technology providers and define a joint co-funded R&D programme for the benefits of the UK's economy.
The machine should be capable of 3D printing refractory and structural metals and alloys using focused electron beam. The machine should allow full control on the process parameters (power/heat input, electron beam parameters, scanning strategies, materials dosing, etc...). There should be very limited restrictions on the types of materials (in powder form) that can be utilised using this platform.  The system should be fully equipped with a process control interface, while being open source with respect to the process parameters. The build chamber should permit the usage of limited quantities of powders, allowing quick optimisation runs to performed and ease of cleaning following the completion of builds. The system should be flexible enough to conduct electron beam welding trials (bead on plate) or perform partial penetration on the substrate.
General characteristics
1. Electron beam
•	Power: The system should be equipped with electron beam gun with a maximum power of 6 kW, with the power input being fully controllable by the user.
•	Electron beam position/resolution: The electron beam size needs to be smaller or equal to 250 μm (full width -half power) for the entire beam power range.
•	Electron beam speed: Electron beam deflection speed of >2000 m/s is required during 3D printing operation.
•	Electron beam deflection angle: The electron beam deflection angle should cover the full build area.
2. Process chamber
•	Build Volume: The system needs to have a small build volume (minimum 10 cm in diameter x 10 cm in height) for limited powder usage and quick material changeover. The build should be able to start with limited powder quantities (e.g. 1 cm height)
•	Build platform carrier: Resolution of the build platform carrier in the vertical z-direction (build direction) should be 5 μm (or smaller).
•	Layer thickness: The system should permit full control on powder layer thickness, including within the same build.
•	Build platform heating: The build plate needs to be heated and maintain the processing temperature up to at least 1200 °C to in-situ relieve the residual stresses, while should enabling fast and efficient heating. Preheating using the electron beam should avoid interaction the powder-electron interactions (smoke-events).
•	Recoater system: The recoater system should allow recoating spherical and non-spherical powders.
•	Auxiliary ports: The system should have auxiliary ports to allow for in-situ instrumentation that can be integrated to the system software by the client.
•	Vacuum quality: The base pressure should reach 10-6 mbar region in the main build chamber and in the electron gun, with high vacuum purity and optimum beam quality
•	Process monitoring: The system should have the capability to monitor the build process using an electron back scatter detector, as well as a viewport.
3. System Software
•	System source code: The system should be fully open with the code for the control software available under open-source license to allow the users to set the desired beam power and beam path to allowing for full process control for research purposes.
The preferred purchasing type for this project is on a rent-for-purchase basis with ownership transferring to the University at the end of the rental period following payment of a nominal fee. An outright purchase option is also possible.
