reviewDetails:
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 VEAT notice and the date on which the Authority
proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement.
The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering
into the framework agreement 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 framework agreement has been entered into include
the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer.
The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework
agreement 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 framework agreement has been entered into are limited
to the award of damages.

description: Test and evaluation of military electronic systems

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale: In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 (as amended) for Technical Reasons. Rowden Technologies is the current incumbent and are responsible for the development and delivery of the DSA system design from inception. This means that they have the technical knowhow and expertise to integrate and accept the DSA system in accordance with the system design developed by them. Rowden Technologies have also integrated the experimental DSA system, and therefore have in depth knowledge and understanding of any integration issues that may arise. The continuation of services with Rowden Technologies will ensure that a single contractor is accountable for the DSA system from design through to acceptance and ensure they are on contract to resolve any design issues raised during system integration, testing and acceptance activities. Rowden Technologies will play a key role in the DSA system Assessment Phase competition. They will be involved in development of the evaluation criteria and assessment of bids submitted during the competition for the supply of DSA system, so a continuation of this same contractor through to IOC is essential to ensure the eventual DSA system meets the design. The introduction of an alternative contractor to take on the Design and Integration work at this stage will introduce an unacceptably high degree of technical risk to the achievement of the project’s objective requirement and lead to potential rework and significant integration/acceptance risk

title: Green Bus Routes Route 53 Business Case Development, Detailed Design, and Tender Support

label: Short description

text:
With 82% of public transport journeys in the region taken by bus, investing in improved services is a vital part of LCRCA’s ambition to deliver an integrated transport system for the Liverpool City Region that makes public transport cheaper, quicker and more reliable.
LCRCA’s Green Bus Routes programme is designed to transform bus journeys, including punctuality and accessibility, improve air quality by reducing carbon emissions while boosting the local economy. Ultimately, travelling on a ‘green bus route’ will mean that passengers can enjoy faster, smoother, safer and more reliable journeys.
This will be achieved via a series of measures including traffic signal upgrades, remodelled junctions, priority lanes and bus stop build outs that will be initially introduced in phases on the region’s busiest bus routes.
Consultancy services are required to support the Green Bus Routes Project team in taking the improvement of the Green Bus Route 53 through to an approved Full Business Case (FBC), a completed detailed design and preparation of tenders for construction. The 53-bus route has been prioritised for investment. The commission has been split into key tasks; 1 to 4 forming the critical path through the project, and 5 to 7 requiring input across the life of the project, as follows:
1.	Analysis and validation of existing work (1 month)
2.	Preliminary design (9 months)
3.	Detailed design (6 months)
4.	Tender support (2 months)
5.	Business Case development
6.	Public and stakeholder engagement
7.	Optional tasks, including modelling and appraisal
At this time LCRCA is seeking to make potential suppliers aware of the opportunity and welcome interested suppliers to respond with an expression of interest to this notice by emailing Tender@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk by midday on Friday 5 January 2024.

description:
The Flight Simulation and Synthetic Training (FsAST) Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 5-year contract to AMST-Systemtechnik GmbH (AMST) for the Spatial Disorientation Trainer (SDT) Support Contract with an additional 5 option years. This will include an option for the complete relocation of the equipment during the contract duration, and ongoing support.
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because AMST is the design authority, is the only company to have access to the SDT source code, data and other necessary technical information to enable it to meet the RAF’s synthetic training needs.
To be successful in maintaining the functionality of the equipment, the supplier must have suitable experience and detailed knowledge of the system as a whole including both hardware and software which is only available within AMST. It is critical that the SDT device remains fully operational and contracting with another contractor would pose a high risk to its critical functionality, thereby jeopardising the training of pilots and the safety of the Armed Forces.
For these reasons, AMST is the only supplier able to meet the requirement.

The WMCA requires an air quality sensor supplier to deliver the following:
Sensors - Minimum of 60 sensors to ensure spatial coverage across the 7 constituent local authorities. At a minimum, sensors must monitor PM2.5 at MCERT compliance standard, and it is preferable sensors can be reliably powered without the use of mains power. Sensors must also have the ability to directly transmit data to a remote server in real-time by 4G.
Installation - Install the sensors and relevant power supply i.e., solar panels, at locations identified by the WMCA. This includes providing all relevant installation equipment e.g., cherry picker, monitor ties etc., and acquiring permissions to install the sensors and any traffic management permits which may be required. Decommissioning of the sensors at the end of the 5 year period will also be required if further funding hasn’t been sought to keep the network running.
Maintenance – Undertake all relevant maintenance requirements are per manufacturer guidance and in accordance with MCERT performance standards, as well as provide a remote sensor performance monitoring and alert system.
Sensor Calibration and Data QA/QC Requirements  - Sensors must be compliant with the MCERTS performance standard for PM2.5 indicative ambient particulate monitors. The sensor supplier will be required to develop and share with the WMCA and University of Birmingham a QA/QC protocol which will ensure performance standards are met. Further to this, all sensors are required to have a minimum of 85% annual data capture (excluding periods of colocation).
Data Transmission and Data Platform Requirements - The sensor supplier will be responsible for setting up a data verification system and data transmission process which is compatible with WMCA data store and data platform, enabling data to move seamlessly from the sensors to the data store, and onto the data platform. This will need to be maintained for a minimum period of 5 years.
Monitoring and Evaluation - A monitoring and evaluation framework will need to be developed for this project to ensure consistency of analysis, including monthly data analysis reports. Additional information: Type of Procedure : Restricted
Time Limit for expressions of interest : 30 days

title: Air Quality Sensors

description:
Air pollution is a key challenge across the West Midlands, with the main pollutants of concern being NO2 and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). To date, the focus on addressing air quality in the West Midlands (by both the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and the 7 constituent local authorities (https://www.wmca.org.uk/who-we-are/)) has been in lowering NO2 emissions; the predominant source of this is from road transport. The Environment Act (2021), which sets out the government’s framework for environmental legislation post-Brexit, has set new targets on addressing PM2.5 concentrations. These targets are for the annual mean PM2.5 levels to be of 10 μg/m3 or below by 2040, and for a population exposure reduction target of 35 % by 2040. Based on 2021 modelled baseline data by the University of Birmingham (UoB), 72 of the 192 wards within the WMCA would be in exceedance of this future target, which impacts 1.2 million people. Additionally, the least advantaged areas (highest IMD score) tend to have the worst air quality. Therefore, whilst tackling NO2 still remains a priority, there is a need to focus on tackling exposure to particulate matter pollution.
In March 2023, the WMCA was successful in securing a DEFRA grant to support collaborative work by the WMCA and local authorities on improving air quality across the region and build on partnership working with the UoB. The purpose of the grant is to improve the knowledge of the people who live and work in the West Midlands about air quality, and outline steps individuals can take to reduce their exposure to air pollution. To do this funding will be used to deliver a behaviour change programme and also, for the purpose of this procurement, to deliver the following, tailored to the needs of the 7 local authorities.
Installation of a low cost sensor network across the 7 constituent local authorities within the WMCA. This will focus on areas where there is modelled to be high population exposure to PM2.5. The sensors will have clear signage to ensure the public are aware of their purpose, and where further information can be found. These monitors will bring reliable consistent data, currently lacking, across the WMCA.

Create a public facing regional air quality platform. The sensor data will feed into a centralised dashboard for the public to see near real time air quality data, and other relevant air quality datasets. Datasets could include, but not limited to, local air quality modelling data, low pollution walking routes, traffic count data etc. The platform will be integrated into a wider website which will also be a hub of educational and campaign resources in relation to air pollution.

The WMCA requires an air quality sensor supplier to deliver the following:
Supply, install and maintain a network of low cost air quality sensors; and
Develop and maintain a data transmission system which enables data to be transmitted from the sensors to the WMCA data warehouse. A system will then upload data onto the WMCA air quality data platform. Both the data warehouse and data platform upload will be the responsibility of the WMCA but it is expected the supplier will work with WMCA to ensure the process from the sensor to the dashboard is compatible.
It is envisaged that the term of the contract will be for a duration of 5 years.
It should also be noted that this tender process is for the initial installation and deployment of a sensor network. It is expected that further funding will be sought in the future to further develop and expand the network with the potential for local stakeholders to also build sensors into the network.

As part of this market engagement, the Council invites electronic responses from organisations who are positioned to successfully provide the Council's Stray Dog Service.
Based on the budget information available at the time, Southend-on-Sea City Council (the Council) published a contract notice relating to its Stray Dog Service (the Service) in August of 2023, on Contracts Finder.
As part of that procurement process, the proposed pricing received in regard the future running of the Service came in between £250,000 and £350,000 (over the full duration of the proposed contract (5 Years)). As a result, the Council has withdrawn the procurement process to ensure compliance with its obligations under the legislation, including its responsibility to adequately advertise the opportunity and achieve best value.
(For the avoidance of doubt, the sizable range between the figures provided above is to assist in protecting the commercially sensitive information received by the Council as part of the withdrawn procurement process.)
In response to the updated commercial information made available to the Council, as part of the withdrawn procurement process, the Council are undertaking market engagement (via Prior Information Notice (PIN)) advertised on the Find a Tender Service and the equivalent notice on Contracts Finder.
The Council will be running a revised procurement process in compliance with the amended Public Contracts Regulations 2015 in due course. This notice is not being used as a call for competition. However, the information received in response to this notice will be key in assisting the Council to evaluate its options in regard this future procurement process, and the procedure which it uses.
The provisioning of the Service will include, but will not be limited to, the collection of stray dogs from within Council areas, providing of kennelling for stray dogs, reuniting dogs with their owners, collection of fees from reclaiming owners (on behalf of the Council) and the rehoming of unclaimed dogs.
As a result, we are seeking further information relating to the legitimate technical capability within the market to successfully undertake our Service. The information outlining the technical capability of an organisation will be reasonably considered against:
• the scale, scope and value of the Service needed by the Council;
• the compliance with relevant legislation related to the running of the Service; and
• ensuring any future Service is geared to meet the needs of the residents of the City
Significant information relating to the nature and requirements of the withdrawn procurement process, and the required Service, are available via the Council's electronic tendering facility (ETF). They are offered to allow the organisations within the market to make an informed decision regarding this market engagement.
The further documentation relating to this notice and the written submission required of any organisation looking to take part in this market engagement exercise is available via:
https://procurement.southend.gov.uk/southend/portal.nsf/index.htm
The project reference is: DN701887
The deadline for receipt of clarification requests relating to this market engagement is: 14:00 on Friday 5th January 2024
The deadline for submission of expression of interests in regard this market engagement is: 14:00 on Monday 15th January 2024
