NIE Networks is currently undertaking a programme of refurbishment/upgrades on a number of its key office bases, with the most significant being the replacement of the current office at Craigavon with a new build circa 30,000 square foot office (over 2 floors), which is to be located on the existing site.
The primary works for this project will include the following:
• The construction of a new-build energy efficient 2 storey office building on the existing Craigavon site (in the car park area) including all associated building, mechanical and Electrical works in accordance with the project design, Building and Planning Regulations, and any phasing temporary or permanent to facilitate the works
• The existing office building and stores facility is to remain operational throughout the duration of the works and a traffic management plan will be required to ensure that construction and site access for day to day business can be separated – NIE Networks will seek alternative car parking arrangements for some of its staff cars
• The existing mast and associated communications cabling are also to remain in place and operational throughout the duration of the works as this forms a critical part of NIE Networks distribution network
• Upon completion and occupation of the new building, the existing building is to be demolished, and the new carparking layout and associated landscaping completed.
The secondary works will include the following:
•	Main contractor to fulfil the role of Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations for the duration of the work.
•	Any damage to hard standing areas required for equipment or materials storage or delivery, site cabins, offices etc as required by the main contractor within the site boundary, will be made good at the completion of the project.
•	Any surface water removal during the construction stage will be the responsibility of the main contractor and should be factored into the costs.
•	The design of any temporary works will be the main contractor’s responsibility.
•	The main contractor will assume full responsibility for:
-	Materials and equipment once they have been delivered to site. Any damage or theft will be the contractor’s sole responsibility.
-	Co-ordination of all deliveries associated with the works including traffic management, flag men etc.
-	The provision, maintenance and repair of all necessary tools, plant, equipment and skips necessary to carry out the required works.
-	The provision, maintenance, repair and removal on completion of all necessary temporary electrics, potable water supply, lighting, edge protection or other temporary works as necessary to carry out the required works.
•	The main contractor must ensure that all completed works are properly protected until handover of the site.
•	Before the commencement of the works the main contractor shall inspect the conditions on site and notify the NIE Networks Client representative/Principal Designer of any conditions which may adversely or otherwise affect the scope of works.
•	It is the responsibility of the main contractor to ensure that all plant, tools and equipment are used safely and that workers, other contractors, visitors to site and the general public are properly protected.

Following  a review of future requirements, NIE Networks has carried out a level of re-design on the new Craigavon office building. The re-design has increased the overall size of the building, and also incorporated changes to the Control Centre. Due to the design changes a new planning application was required. This has been submitted and it is NIE Networks’ intention to conclude the Contract award in parallel with planning.
This re-design process has resulted in the estimated cost of the construction increasing. The Contracting Entity now estimates that the total spend under the Contract is between £8 million to £11 million. The review of requirements and re-design of the building has also led to a delay in the procurement process and NIE Networks now anticipates that it shall be requesting updated  best and final offers from the Economic Operators remaining in the process in January 2024, with a view to the Contract starting September 2024.

NHS Sussex are seeking to procure a specialist weight management tier 3 service as part of the range of weight management services across Sussex.
An RFI questionnaire is available at https://intendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning/aspx/Home.
The purpose of the RFI Questionnaire is to gauge market interest and feedback via the RFI response form  and provide the ICB with valuable information to help update and improve the current service specification.
We request you complete your response and return it via our E-Tendering Portal no later than midday on Monday 15th May 2023.
In addition to this RFI, NHS Sussex will be conducting a Provider Engagement event from 1-2.30pm on Tuesday 9th May. Within that event we will talk through the main proposed changes and the session will include an opportunity for providers to ask questions of the commissioners. The event will take place via MS Teams. If you wish to attend, please send a portal message and include the names, roles and contact details of persons in your organisation who you would like to be invited.
It is anticipated that the new service will be procured via a standard NHS contract with a contract duration of initially five years plus the option to extend by a further two years, commencing 1st April 2024 with the aim of delivering good outcomes for patients and a reduction in the activity for Tier 4 surgery. The length of this contract should support the successful bidder(s) to deliver innovation and efficiencies over that period of time. Additional information: Aims of the Service
The aims of the Tier 3 weight programme are to:
•	motivate and empower patients to make lifestyle changes that facilitate sustainable healthy eating, regular exercise and improved emotional wellbeing enabling patients to maintain their weight loss beyond their term within the T3 weight management programme;
•	enable patients to reduce their weight without needing to access surgery;
•	reduce the perioperative and outcome risks for patients for whom a surgical intervention is required (including non-bariatric procedures such as hip/knee replacement surgery); and
•	enable clinical colleagues, including GPs, to best meet the needs of this complex group of people by adopting a whole pathway approach to manage obesity and facilitating regular interaction and communication between primary care and all NHS and Local Authority commissioned providers of weight management services.
Objectives of the service
•	Non-surgical patients will achieve a weight loss of at least 5% by the end of their term within the T3 weight management programme;
•	Surgical patients will be classed as fit for surgery at the point of pre-operative assessment; and
•	Obese patients will have access to excellent support outside of the T3 weight management programme, such as community-based healthy lifestyle services, through an integrated way of working across the tiers of weight management services.
Benefits of the service
The benefits of delivering this service are:
•	Improved general physical health, reducing referrals into other physical health services within the NHS and social care;
•	Improved emotional wellbeing, resulting in increased individual wellbeing, economic productivity and reduced use of mental health services; and
•	A reduction in the long-term complications of post-bariatric surgery and poorer outcomes for other surgery, through better pre-operative preparation.
