title: SCAH Power Upgrades – PR27 Woodham Lane

description: The Contract is for the connection of 43000kVA with a high level of resilience via dual feed 132/11kV substations from West Weybridge GSP and Laleham GSP. The connection provides Defra with its future electrical requirements at its site at Weybridge. The works are majority Non-Contestable works and comprise the elements set out under II.2.4.

description: Construction work for pipelines, communication and power lines, for highways, roads, airfields and railways; flatwork

procurementMethodRationale:
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs  (Defra) has entered into an agreement with UKPN as Distribution Network Operator for the area, to reserve capacity for future electrical requirements at its site at Weybridge. This agreement includes the carrying out of necessary works for the provision of the electricity.
The works are made up of majority Non-Contestable works, as such UKPN (as Distribution Network Operator for the area) are the only provider permitted to deliver these works.
Further, given the high level of resilience, full 132 kV accreditation, security requirements, commercial agreement obligations, complex interface and programming criticality issues that exist for the project, UKPN are the sole provider that possess the technical ability to provide the works.

title: Havering Refugee & Asylum Seeker Mental Health & Wellbeing Outreach Service

description:
This is not an invitation to tender.
Havering currently has circa 200 Ukrainian Refugees, around half of whom are women and half of whom are children. There are also circa 250 asylum seekers housed within a contingency hotel, all of which are adult males. One of the priority health needs for this cohort, is the provision of a mental health and wellbeing support service. This cohort tends to display symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety at levels far greater than the general population. This is often due to the severe trauma they have experienced or witnessed before arriving in the UK but can sometimes be due to what they experience whilst here.
Asylum seekers and refugees are some of the poorest and most marginalised in society, arriving in a new country and navigating the healthcare landscape can be challenging, being able to travel to health & wellbeing services located throughout the borough can become an impossible ask for many as they simply do not have the financial means to get to all available services.  There is also a significant lack of understanding and trust in mental health services amongst this cohort and a subsequent reluctance to seek mental health support. This is principally due to how mental health is often perceived in their countries of origin, which tends to still elicit a fearful response when reference is made to referring into our mental health services. This has led to extremely poor uptake and engagement with existing mental health services amongst asylum seekers and refugees. A number of asylum seekers have indicated that they also fear seeking such support may negatively impact their asylum applications.
Unlike neighbouring boroughs, such as Redbridge and Waltham Forest, Havering does not have a mental health service that is bespoke for refugees. Like most London boroughs, we are seeing an increase in the number of asylum seekers and refugees. A specialist asylum seeker and refugee mental health service is therefore needed to provide parity between Havering and neighbouring boroughs, but also, the skilled expertise of clinical psychologists that are trained to deal with such cases is a current gap in service provision for Havering.
Having an outreach element is vitally important to the service we are looking to launch, as we want our clinical psychologists to be on site, operating from locations that are easiest for asylum seekers and refugees to access. This removes the transport barriers that currently act as blockers to accessing wider mental health services, allows clinicians to be seen to build trust and rapport with our asylum seekers and refugees, so that they feel better able to access services and can better understand the support available.
It will be important that any potential provider has:
•	clinical psychologists that are appropriately trained to deal with mental health issues expressed by both adult and children asylum seekers and refugees.
•	Be willing to operate an outreach model, and provide 1 to 1 and group therapy sessions on site from locations that are easy to access for our asylum seeker and refugee population
•	Have access to interpreters from a broad range of languages
•	Access patient records to ensure full visibility of a patients history
•	Have knowledge of existing mental health services that are available for Havering residents
The project will operate initially as a pilot for a minimum of 12 months

title: Supply of Timber Adhesives for the Conservation of HMS Victory

description:
The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project is to deliver a fully-conserved ship, in a condition to survive for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. This project began in summer 2022 and is to take 10 years to complete.
The conservation work includes the replacement of all external and some internal planking and structural elements. The timber to be used in the ship is a mixture of teak and oak which will need to be laminated to meet required dimensions.
The National Museum is therefore seeking a supplier for the next 5 years to provide timber adhesives for teak frame repairs and oak plank lamination. To ensure the project meets its objectives, the National Museum has undertaken rigorous and extensive materials trials to determine the most suitable timber adhesives which are detailed below under requirements.

title: Provision of an Audio Guide System for HMS Victory

description:
The National Museum of the Royal Navy cares for HMS Victory, based in a dry dock within the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. In 2016 HMS Victory underwent a full reinterpretation project to improve the experience for our 300,000 visitors who board the ship each year. Part of this project saw the introduction of the ship’s first audio guide system telling the story of the Battle of Trafalgar, from preparation in Portsmouth, the battle itself and the events after Admiral Nelson’s death. As well as documenting her service post-Trafalgar into the 20th century as the ship is still a commissioned ship of the Royal Navy and flagship of the First Sea Lord.
Emphasis is placed on the design suiting the unusual ship environment, in particular on health and safety. The systems needed to prevent undue operational distraction when moving through the ships.
The existing systems are based on infrared beacons stationed throughout the ship (42 on HMS Victory As visitors’ transit between decks they hear the stories unfold, with freedom to pick and choose the level of detail and number of beacons they wish to hear. Small and lightweight, hung around the neck with a lanyard, the devices could be used either via the speaker or with headsets plugged into the devices. They are charged within their docks and handed out / given back in the visitor’s tent on the port side of HMS Victory.
The NMRN would like to commission a contract for the rental of a new audio guide system for HMS Victory. The contract will include the installation and ongoing maintenance of a new audio guide system for a period of three years with an option of rolling one-year extensions.

MaPS currently delivers Money Guidance at Tier 1 level via an outsourced contact centre and Pensions Guidance is delivered at Tiers 1, 2 and 3 in-house.
Pension Wise appointments are delivered  both outsourced (70%), which is a mix of telephone/virtual and less than 10% face to face and in-house, which is all virtual (30%).
When customers call for Pensions Guidance, their situation is explored to ensure they are provided with the most appropriate service for their circumstances and issue. This could result in being provided with pensions guidance, receiving a Pension Wise appointment and/or being signposted to money guidance or debt advice. Both money and pensions information is provided  on our Money Helper website, alongside a number of digital tools and a range of printed guides.
The Tiers of Guidance for both money and pensions are defined as per the MaPS Money Guidance Competency Framework  (available at: https://moneyandpensionsservice.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/the-money-guidance-competency-framework.pdf). In brief, this means Tier 1 is information giving and signposting, Tier 2 explores a customer's needs and provides more tailored guidance and Tier 3 focuses on a specialist area of guidance. Pension Wise appointments are a specific service for people over 50 with a defined contribution pension brought in as a result of the Pensions Freedoms Act (2015).
As the contract for our current outsourced Tier 1 Money Guidance contact centre is expiring at the end of March 2024, MaPS has taken the opportunity to conduct a review of the current guidance service offering and is looking to procure a supplier to provide a contact centre that offers a single front door to Tier 1 money and pension guidance with the potential for  face to face (F2F) assisted digital support .
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to advise prospective suppliers of the Commissioners' intention and is not a formal call for tender.
The Authority reserves the right not to proceed with the Procurement or any part thereof or change the requirements as necessary at any time. Additional information: Market Engagement Session
MaPS will hold a virtual suppliers market engagement session on 20 September 2023. 11am - 12noon via Microsoft Teams in order to gain a better understanding of the capability, capacity and appetite of the wider market to deliver the proposed services and to help design the service model and determine the most appropriate route to market and the commercial model.
If you wish to attend, using subject heading: 23-045C MG Helpline and Contact Centre, please provide: the name of your organization, attendee contact name and Email Address and send to: Commercial@maps.org.uk By 3pm 19 September 2023; the joining instructions and link will then be shared with you.

name: The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) (NSS)

description:
NHS Scotland requires a standard Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system to be used across all 15 NHS Health Boards which provide a Clinical Microbiology service: from multi-disciplinary laboratories in remote / rural Boards to large laboratories providing specialist services in tertiary referral Boards.
The AST solution must be (semi-) automated and up-scalable so that it is practical for both small and large laboratories and it must have a proven real-world performance record.
The national AST system must deliver panel testing for both bacteria and fungi. Suppliers are requested to provide details of the antibiotics, organisms and “drug-bug” combinations which may be tested on their system as well as those which cannot be tested on their system.
It is essential that NHS Scotland-bespoke testing panels are available and that the system is fully EUCAST compliant, in line with Scottish AMR surveillance requirements. Annual EUCAST updates must be available on the system within six months of publication, including breakpoints and interpretive criteria. In the absence of specific EUCAST “drug-bug” testing and interpretive criteria, alternatives stipulated by the SMVN (e.g. CLSI) must be incorporated into the testing system.
If the supplier’s system is capable of delivering “rapid AST (RAST)”, details should be provided.
A bi-directional interface between the AST system and each Board’s Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is essential and implementation should be led by the AST system supplier.
The national AST solution must routinely report minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data as well interpreted MICs via system software to routinely report antibiograms and ensure unusual phenotypes are highlighted.   The ability to search and produce management reports on AST data would be advantageous and details should be provided.
AST equipment is expected to have a lifespan of a minimum of 7 to 10 years.
Suppliers are asked to submit details of [a] their standard (semi-) automated AST equipment currently available for all 15 NHS Scotland Boards that deliver an AST service, [b] details of standard testing panels currently available, [c] interpretive criteria, [d] reportable patient results and                                                  [e] epidemiological packages, if available. Prerequisites and dependence on any additional or ancillary equipment / systems should be highlighted.
Suppliers are asked to describe the system(s) available to fulfil this national requirement and also provide a (maximum) 2 page summary detailing the service that would be provided.
Indicative numbers of ASTs carried out per year in NHS Scotland laboratories (based on data from 2018 – 2022) are:
AST tests per year
<500	4 Boards
500 to 1,000	2 boards
1,000 to 2,000	3 boards
2,000 to 3,000	2 boards
3,000 to 4,000	2 boards
4,000 to 5,000	1 board
>7,000    1 board

Project Objectives:
•	Examine Self-Employment: Investigate self-employment in the MENA region, focusing on characteristics and the existence of distinct groups (sustainers vs. dabblers), and compare them with paid workers.
•	Understand Motives for Self-Employment: Explore the motivations behind entering self-employment, with a reference to locus of control and personality traits and contrast them within different self-employed groups and employed workers.
•	Estimate Returns to Education: Calculate the returns to education for various self-employed groups.
•	Assess COVID-19 Impact: Understand how different worker groups were affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
•	Create a Comprehensive Database: Develop a comprehensive database for future research in the MENA region.
Therefore, we are seeking a market research company to conduct fieldwork and collect data through computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI). The selected company should handle tasks such as outsourcing respondents, administering the questionnaire (which involves 30 to 35-minute interviews), and managing the data collection process. Regular communication with the principal investigator (PI) is essential, and all work should be subject to the PI's monitoring and approval. The sample should comprise at least 1,000 respondents per country, with some countries requiring 2,000 to 3,000 respondents based on budget considerations. In total, the study aims to gather data from a minimum of 8,000 respondents across all participating countries.
Responsibilities of the Market Research Company:
•	Provide daily progress reports during the data collection process.
•	Implement thorough editing of all interviews received.
•	Monitor correlations between specific questions to ensure data coherence.
•	Conduct call-backs to rectify missing or erroneous answers that do not align with the questionnaire's flow or previous responses.
•	Make informed decisions to replace illogical answers by dropping them from the sample.
•	Supervise the on-site team and offer continuous training.
•	Intervene if there is evidence of data collection from specific respondents (e.g., the same industry).
•	Ensure diversity among respondents.
•	Arrange for professional translation services as needed for the questionnaire.
•	Handle data processing and tabulation.
•	Script data as required.
•	Continuously monitor data quality and perform robustness checks.
•	Maintain regular communication with the PI.
This comprehensive research endeavour seeks to provide valuable insights into labor market dynamics in the MENA region and generate a dataset that can support future research efforts. Additional information: This is a market research exercise, not a call for competition

title: Entrepreneurship in the MENA Region: The Uncharted Territory

description:
The Middle East and North African (MENA) region faces significant challenges related to high unemployment rates. A research team, led by Moustafa Haj Youssef at Liverpool John Moores University, is embarking on a comprehensive survey project to create a unique dataset focused on labor market trends and business ownership in the MENA region. The study will encompass six countries: Egypt, Jordan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates. The dataset will include a wealth of information on various socio-economic and demographic attributes of individuals, such as age, education, income, marital status, labor market outcomes, household characteristics, and parental background. Additionally, the survey will delve into respondents' work experiences, offering insights not readily available in other MENA region datasets. A section of the survey will also explore respondents' personality traits and their sense of agency in their lives, contributing valuable data that is scarce not only in the MENA region but in many other regions as well.
This project aims to categorise workers into different groups, including self-employed and paid workers. Researchers plan to analyse the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of each group while considering the influence of cultural, social, religious, and institutional factors unique to the countries under study. The project will also distinguish between "sustained self-employed" and "dabblers self-employed," a differentiation not previously explored in the MENA region. Furthermore, the research team intends to estimate the returns to education for various worker groups and capture the diversity of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic among these groups.

description: DfE - Renewable Electricity Team wishes to appoint a “Contractor” who will be responsible for delivering the three key outcomes set out in the specification in order to support DfE in meeting its Energy Strategy Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 ambitions. The 3 outcomes include developing a high-level support scheme design, Conducting quantitative modelling exercises and a financial impact assessment. It is anticipated this contract will commence early October 2023 and initially run for 12 months. The Accelerated Open Procedure has been chosen as there is an urgent requirement for the service to be set up. The Executive’s new Energy Strategy - Path to Net Zero Energy was published in December 2021, followed by the Energy Strategy Action Plan in March 2023. Action point 7 of the plan commits the Department for the Economy to publishing the final design of renewable electricity support by the end of the year, along with a pathway and timeline for the support being in place. Delivery of the support scheme design for Northern Ireland cannot occur without a solid evidence base to support policy decisions. There is therefore a need for timely and relevant expert advice in order to shape an incentive scheme to meet current and anticipated levels of demand in Northern Ireland in this new decade and beyond. In order to meet the target set by the 2023 Energy Strategy Action Plan the Renewable Electricity Team requires urgent consultancy support to be completed by early December 2023 at the latest.

title: Contract

description: The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the. contract may be terminated. The issue of a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.
