description:
Our decision to exclusively source Resodyn for the RAM systems OmniRAM and LabRAM II is founded on several key factors. Resodyn holds a unique position as the only holder of proprietary technologies that underpin RAM and are the only manufacturer that can produce systems that span the capacity of LabRAM II and OmniRAM.
It is important to outline the crucial distinction between the RAM technology, and the more conventional shakers and vibration test systems. Namely, RAM systems are configured using a series of plates and springs that are uniquely designed to operate specifically and exclusively at resonance. This means that the kinetic energy of the oscillating springs trades off energy with the oscillating potential energy of the plates, at resonance, without the loss of energy.  Hence, virtually all of the energy that is used to drive the resonant system is used to mix the materials in the mix vessel. This enables the RAM technology to perform high-acceleration vibration while minimising energy use and unwanted sound/vibration external to the system. These are unique advantages characteristic of RAM technology that cannot be achieved by any other mixing, blending or vibrational mixing approaches that do not operate at resonance.
Also, being the manufacturer, as well as the developer and holder of proprietary technology, Resodyn has the expertise that positions them uniquely for the installation of RAM instruments which, if not properly installed, could cause damage to the instrument and surroundings due to the high energy and high intensity nature of the acoustic vibrations. The proprietary nature of Resodyn's technology is affirmed by a series of patents, as summarized in Attachment A. Furthermore, Resodyn has extensive design, materials specification/selection and equipment assembly know-how that has been developed since 2000 that is used in the production of this specialized equipment.
As Resodyn are the only manufacturer of the RAM technology, and are also the only ones who can provide the support, training and installation for these systems, we cannot obtain this type of equipment from any other provider. Resodyn is the sole provider of instruments and replacement parts for RAM systems.
This unique position of Resodyn as both manufacturer and patent holder of RAM technology translates into our sole reliance on them to provide not only the hardware and software components but also the indispensable training, support and consumables essential for the operation of these RAM instruments (consumables include various specialized bellows,  specially designed (ruggedized) accelerometers and RTD instruments). Their proprietary knowledge and technical expertise extend to servicing the equipment and offering invaluable guidance on resolving technical challenges, which is facilitated by having a site and representative based in the UK. This makes them the unrivalled choice for our RAM Facility. No other company possesses the capability to furnish us with the complete suite of resources and support necessary to uphold the exceptional standards of service, research and innovation that the pioneering project of world's-first RAM Facility strives for. This service is particularly essential, as the RAM mixing processes are not intuitive and proper/efficient/safe operation of the equipment requires specialized training that only Resodyn can provide by skills developed across many industrial applications and over several decades.
Resodyn holds a unique position for several reasons, which sets them apart from other companies and makes them the only choice for the RAM Facility:
Proprietary Technology: Resodyn's ResonantAcoustic® Mixing technology is the only one that allows performance exclusively at resonance, and it is proprietary and patented, as indicated by the list of patents provided. This means that Resodyn have exclusive rights to this innovative technology, giving them a competitive advantage. Other companies may use different mixing or blending technologies that do not offer the same advantages or capabilities (in particular, they would not be designed to operate strictly at resonance, which voids the energy efficiency, reduced vibration and sound compared to RAM technology). Moreover, non-RAM based technologies are not compatible with the aim and goals of the RAM Facility.
Unique properties of Resodyn ResonantAcoustic® Mixing technologies that are specifically sought for the RAM Facility are:
• Benchtop ResonantAcoustic® Mixing instrument operating strictly and exclusively at resonance, that can process samples at accelerations of up to 100 g, with up to 1,000 gram payload, equipped with a stroboscope, and capable of operating 24/7, exclusively at resonance.  Each system has programable control features that allow the preprograming of hundreds of mixer operating variables that include acceleration, vacuum and temperature as a function of time, to include real-time readouts and data collection for post-mix analysis and reporting.
•Pilot-scale ResonantAcoustic® Mixing system that operates strictly and exclusively at resonance, and can process samples of volumes up to 7 litres, translating into a 5 kg payload at maximum acceleration of 100 g, or more at lower accelerations. The system needs to be capable of operating 24/7, exclusively at resonance. Each system has programable control features that allow the preprograming of hundreds of mixer operating variables that include acceleration, vacuum and temperature as a function of time, to include real-time readouts and data collection for post-mix analysis and reporting.
• Pilot-scale sample loading system compatible with the pilot-scale ResonantAcoustic® Mixing system, based on a hoist
• Benchtop and pilot-scale ResonantAcoustic® Mixing instruments that operate strictly and exclusively at resonance, and are equipped for operating under vacuum, along with required consumables and support equipment (e.g. tubing, mixing vessels suitable for operations under vacuum)
• Benchtop and pilot-scale ResonantAcoustic® Mixing instruments that operate strictly and exclusively at resonance, equipped with ready-to-go temperature control systems (including digital controller, thermal sensors, cables and suitable vessels)
• Benchtop and pilot-scale ResonantAcoustic® Mixing instruments that operate strictly and exclusively at resonance, and have built-in full digital control and process monitoring and logging of operation parameters in real-time.
• RAM instruments that operate strictly at resonance, while recording and providing live readouts (plots and digital values) of payload acceleration, mixer power, mix vessel vacuum/pressure, mixed materials temperature and RAM machine resonant frequency.
These properties are unique to RAM instruments manufactured and designed by Resodyn, and are not available from other providers.

description:
We are establishing the world's first facility for testing, using and exploring the mixing and chemical (including mechanochemical) performance of Resonant Acoustic Mixing (RAM) technology: the RAM Facility. The RAM Facility at the University of Birmingham will provide opportunity for external users to develop and explore new processes, both at small scale (up to 1 kg), as well as pilot scale (at least 5 kg), supported by cutting-edge expertise and on-site analytical tools.
The pivotal components of this pioneering facility will be two RAM systems, manufactured, provided, and supported by Resodyn, who are the holders of the underlying ResonantAcoustic® Mixing technology.

The Education Authority set up CAT-23-001 Dynamic Purchasing System for Catering Equipment which went live in May 23 with the original intention of running further competitions from the DPS. Further Competition CAT-23-001-008 Commercial Dishwashers and Tabling was issued to the market on 17 November 2024 and closed on 8 December 2024. During the evaluation process it became apparent that the specification contained ambiguity. On consideration of the duty to ensure fairness and equal treatment within the tender process, EA stood down the Further Competition on 12 March 2024.
The Education Authority currently intends to review it’s specifications for this equipment in order to re-open competition to the market. It is envisaged that this process may take up to six months, and therefore, the EA intend to extend it’s current arrangements for six months, with the options to extend by two further periods of three months if deemed necessary to enable a new procurement to be concluded. This will help to ensure service continuity for the Catering Service whilst EA considers its requirements and next steps.
(ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
The nature of the arrangement is not being amended.
(iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.
The upper estimate of the original Call Off Contract was £881,000 GBP, this modification is for £440,000 which is less than 50% of the original maximum value. This does not exceed 50% of the value of the Call-Off Contract.

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Education Authority currently intends to review it’s specifications for this equipment in order to re-open competition to the market. It
is envisaged that this process may take up to six months, and therefore, the EA have extended it’s current arrangements (subsequent to the aforementioned VEAT notice) for six months, with the options to extend by two further periods of three months if deemed necessary to enable a new procurement to be concluded.
This will help to ensure service continuity for the Catering Service whilst EA considers its requirements and next steps.
(ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; the nature of the arrangement is not being amended.
(iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.

Modification to the Call-Off Contract from National Framework for Light and Heavy Catering Equipment (CAT 11039 TU) is necessary to ensuring ongoing service provision and to facilitate the procurement of additional requirements until the commencement of a new arrangement is in place.
These requirements have become necessary and are permitted by Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contacts Regulations 2015. Namely, the following conditions have been fulfilled:

All Age Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Service. Additional information: Description of the contract modification as per Schedule 12 of The Regulations:
1.  The contract title: Integrated All Age Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery
Service
 and reference: DN659787.
2.  A description of the relevant health care services to which the contract relates:
Integrated All Age Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery services for adults and young people with problematic substance use for Dorset Council residents.
including the most relevant CPV code: 85323000-9.
3.  The effective date of the modification: 1st April 2024.
4.  A brief description of the modification:
The tender for the All Age Integrated Substance Misuse Service was published in April 2023. At this point commissioners were only able to include known grant funding in the finance schedule. The continuation of grant funding for the services was only confirmed late 2023/early 2024 after the contract had been awarded. However as it was highly likely the funding would be continued, commissioners ensured the contract provided for the inclusion of ongoing grant funding in the service specification as follows:
• Rough Sleepers Drug and Alcohol Programme (RSDATG -OHID grant)
• Safeguarding Families Together (SFT - DC Children Services)
• Criminal Justice Service (Office of Police and Crime Commissioner)
• Expectation to work with migrant communities, asylum seekers, and refugees (Dorset
Council)
The announcement of grant awards are outside of the commissioner's control and the variation to include these services and funding amounts will not render the contract materially different.
5.  Any change in the lifetime value of the contract:
The proposed modification will add £503,506 to the value of the contract.
Original total contract value: £22,955,401.87.
Updated total contract value: £23,458,907.87.
6.  Any change in the term length of the contract: No change.
7.  Details of the decision-makers: Head of Legal Services and Service Manager Commercial & Procurement.
8.  Any declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest: None declared.
9.  Information as to how any conflicts or potential conflicts of interest were managed: Not applicable as none declared.

The announcement of grant awards are outside of the commissioner's control and the variation to include these services and funding amounts will not render the contract materially different.
The grant funding is specifically for the services commissioned from the provider under the existing contract so it is appropriate for the funding to be added to the value of the existing contract.
The total value of the modification for 24/25 is £512,163.
The requested modification is lawful under PSR Reg 13(1)(d). This ground applies as the contract was awarded under PCR15 and is not a direct award.
In accordance with PSR Reg 13(1)(d), the modification is made at the discretion of the Council and it does not render the contract materially different in character. The modification is to add new funding for existing services provided under the contract.
Furthermore, the change in the value of the contract is under 25% of the value when it was entered into.
Under Reg 13(4), where a modification is made to a contract without procurement, and that modification is attributable to a decision of the Council and the change in value is over £500,000 a notice of the modification must be published.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) requires the collection / sampling of dead wild birds that are deemed to be of surveillance value, and delivery of the wild bird carcases to designated APHA Veterinary Investigation Centre (VIC) or Scotland Rural College Disease Surveillance Centre (SRUCDSC) sites for testing.

APHA also requires the provision of unique wild bird carcase/sample identification numbers which will be held on a Central Spreadsheet.

Collection of specified small mammalian carcases will also be required, particularly if mortalities are linked epidemiologically to an AI outbreak in wild birds.

The Contractor will be required to have a network of personnel to act as Collectors across mainland Great Britain (GB) to ensure maximum efficiency in the Contractor’s timely ability to collect carcases upon request from the Authority. As a minimum this shall mean that the Contractor can collect and deliver any carcase across mainland GB within forty-eight (48) hours of the Authority’s request (i.e., for a Collector to travel from their point of origin to the location of the carcase(s) and then either to an APHAVIC or SRUCDSC, and/or a return journey).

While this Contract primarily covers collections from mainland GB, Services from GB islands (excluding Crown Dependencies) may be requested. If this situation occurs the Contractor would be expected to provide a quotation and estimated timescale or the collection. The APHA Veterinary Lead in Avian Virology would then advise if the collection should go ahead.

Note that the value shown on this notice is very approximate and covers the full potential 5-year contract period (01/09/2024 to 31/08/2027 with up to 24 months extension allowable).

This contract Award has been made following direct award process A of the Provider Selection Regime.

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (GP) is because they are required to hold a contract via the GP Framework and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the GP Framework contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract will be from 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025

We are seeking a Construction Delivery Partner to support the design development of planning application proposals and subsequently to carry out the construction of the regeneration of the site located at Andrews Place, Chelmsford.
The aim of the project is to provide Chelmsford with an attractive, high-quality and 100% affordable development in a highly sustainable location. We are seeking to deliver an impactful and inspirational scheme with aspirational designs for social housing that will create a lasting legacy for the city of Chelmsford, in a highly visible location.  The intended housing types include; 20% ‘later living’ housing, and 80% general needs housing. The intended tenure type is for 100% affordable, including a mix of Social Rent, Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership.

description: Miscellaneous services

procurementMethodRationale:
This provision sits under the Light Touch Regime  under Section 7 of the PCRs, however the proposed value for the 3 year contract falls just above the threshold.
Regulation 32 is being used to award the proposed contract without competition where the services can be supplied by only a particular supplier due to technical reasons i.e. that A2Dominion own the building  "Matilda House" and have exclusive rights at their property.
The building Matilda House is a unique development that provides the opportunity to accommodate and provide support for a range of different support needs. The layout provides flexibility to adapt and meet the needs of individuals as need change over time.
A2Dominion owns this building. They are also commissioned by the Council to deliver the support from this building at present under an existing contract which is due to end in August 2024.
A2Dominion have stated that they would not allow another provider to deliver support from this building, should we go to open tender and another organisation be the successful bidder.
The other possibility is that we the Council  go out to competitive tender for a support provision to be delivered from another, similar building. It would then be up to prospective providers to find such a building in the city, from which they could deliver the service from 1st September 2024.
Based on recent exercises where Council officers conducted extensive searches for similar buildings, we do not believe that there are currently any buildings in the city that could host the service that is needed.
Throughout 2023, the Rough Sleeping team have worked with internal and external colleagues to find a building to deliver 20+ self-contained rooms to provide accommodation for persons experiencing rough sleeping.
Working with colleagues in the Council's Property team to examine the Council's property portfolio, alongside the County Council's and other public services like the NHS, as well as St Mungo's regional property lead seeking suitable property, all efforts have been fruitless. Where any buildings have been found that could potentially be made suitable (such as old office buildings), potential capital investment would be needed in order to redevelop these to provide good quality and adaptable accommodation similar to that provided at Matilda House.
Furthermore, during the process of seeking a smaller building to redevelop into a ~12 unit 24 hours supported accommodation provision in the city, that we would have been able to bid for capital funding for, this search exercise was also fruitless.
Council Officers therefore believe that a service provider wishing to provide a support service, and potentially bidding for a support contract under an open tender, would not be able to find a suitable property in the city to provide this support from.
Therefore, Council officers are seeking a direct award under the procurement rules on the grounds that there is only one provider that is able to deliver the support provision we are after, from the only suitable building that is available to meet the needs from 1st September and onwards.

description:
For the provision of supervision of clinical leads for Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) Supervision of clinical leads is undertaken by a group analyst who is experienced working with personality disorder, staff teams and organisational dynamics; they come together once a month for monthly group supervision and bi-monthly for individual supervision.
The participants of the supervision are PIPE Clinical Leads and  PIPE Operational Leads (separate groups)  working across prisons and probation in the delivery of PIPE services. The Clinical Leads are typically a mix of Registered Psychologists and Psychotherapists. The supervision processes are designed to support the ongoing delivery and growth of PIPE services and the PIPE model nationally, to promote the understanding of the 'therapeutic environment' approach, and to promote the role of group analytic thinking within this process. Additional information: The decision makers for this award are:
Lucinda Bolger:  National Clinical Development Lead (NHS) for PIPEs
Kerry Joy:  Deputy National Clinical Lead (NHS) for PIPEs
Paul Walker: Environments Lead OPD Pathway HMPPS
Jamie Scott
Service Manager, Personality Disorder and Neurodevelopmental Services
There are no declared or potential conflicts of interest in this decision making process.
Each criteria has equal weighting across the decision making process, the rationale for that being that the requirement is an essential service to support the rehabilitation of key individuals who participate in PIPE therapeutic interventions and therefore all key criterion are of equal importance:
•	Quality and innovation (20%)
The service is currently delivered to a high quality standard with proven outcomes in terms of the objectives of the PIPE therapeutic interventions being delivered.
•	Value (20%)
The providers of this service are engaged at agreed rates with no considerable change to this over the lifetime of this contract award.
•	Integration, collaboration and service sustainability (20%)
The PIPE promotes integration of service, collaboration and service sustainability by offering support to clinical leads and supporting their working collaboratively to demonstrate continuous improvement in the delivery and development of the service. Supervision is a fundamental pillar of this and key to the ongoing success of the therapeutic environment.
•	Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (20%)
The PIPE promotes the understanding of the therapeutic environment, supporting the network across this service, and its ongoing growth thereby improving access over the longer term. Health inequalities are reduced by improvement of outcomes for service users and a continuous improvement in the provision of the service.
•	Social value (20%)
much of the service delivery for PIPE supervision is delivered remotely, thereby reducing travel and related emissions, supporting the NHS in its journey to net zero.
