Revenues & Benefits’ incumbent Capita One software solution is the primary IT system from which both departments manage and support the full end-to-end administration of, via wide ranging functions and processes across multiple contact channels, resident accounts & cases within the borough for:
- billing, collection and enforcement for Council Tax, National Non-Domestic Rate (Business Rates),
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Housing Benefit Overpayments
- entitlement, assessment, and payment of Housing Benefit, Council Tax Support, Discretionary Housing Payment, Discretionary Council Tax Hardship and Local Welfare Assistance
- entitlement assessment of Free School Meals
For context, volumes & values for the above key service activities are:
- Council Tax & Business Rates (inc. BIDs) – circa £157mill and £63mill net collectables per annum
respectively, with an approx. 95% annual collection rate across 108.8K dwellings and 6.8K hereditaments respectively
- Housing Benefit & Council Tax Support, Discretionary Housing Payments and Local Welfare Allowance – circa £120mill in subsidy awards per annum
Capita One is also integrated with supporting third-party products for document & case workflow management, end to end payment processing & distribution, print & post services, robotics automation, third-party forms products for resident online self-service, online resident portal for real time account & bill views etc.
Procurement process has been commenced to ensure best value and realise future technological and economic benefits for the services and the Council as a whole.
A key driver within this is the introduction of a supplier hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud-based system infrastructure and associated managed support & maintenance.
This is aligned with internal, long-term IT strategy for the operation and management of line of business systems.

procurementMethodRationale:
The contract is for the provision of services that fall within the scope of the PCR 2015 (the Regulations). The contract will be awarded under a framework agreement (Y20023) by Kent County Council via KCS Procurement Services that was established in compliance with the PCR 2015 and published in the FTS notice (2021/S 000-017389) at the time of its conclusion.
Under the provisions of the Regulation 33(8a) and LB Waltham Forest constitution, a procurement of this nature may be undertaken without a competitive tender exercise and may be made via a direct award. The proposal to award a contract for 7 years with the capacity to extend the contract for a further 3 periods of 12 months each is permissible under the Regulations and LB Waltham Forest Constitution given the value of the proposed contract.
Internal approvals to commence direct award to Capita Business Services Ltd  for the Capita One product were received in May 2024.
The following activities were completed in the past 12 months to gauge service requirements versus market capability and optimal procurement routes:
-Detailed cross-Council requirements gathering
-Product research & soft market testing
-Route to market analysis exploring open competitive process, further competition via framework, and direct award via framework
-Cost of change analysis to gauge internal time & cost, in addition to external supplier charges, for resourcing of identified routes to market and potential switch from incumbent system to another
-Other Local Authorities engaged re: lessons learnt from recent IT processing system procurements
The Revs & Bens core processing system market is niche and highly specialised. Research confirmed only three suppliers with large local authority experience and well-established products able to fulfil local & central government legislative requirements - namely Capita, NEC and Civica.
Procurement via framework was identified as the most time & cost-effective approach – with findings confirming Kent Commercial Services (KCS) Y20023 as the best-fit option.
Tendering of a Revs & Bens core IT processing system, with the possibility of moving to a new supplier, would potentially generate additional cost of change expenditure in excess of £1mill for the internal resourcing of implementation, training, data migration and conversion of interfaces, together with extended system downtime during migration impacting revenue collection and payment of benefit.
Key drivers for this procurement are to explore possibilities to move to a supplier hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud-based system infrastructure and associated fully supplier managed support & maintenance model – in order to deliver efficiencies and optimisation as per ICT strategy for primary line of business systems.
A supplier hosted, cloud-based system infrastructure & associated fully supplier managed support & maintenance model would provide the following key benefits to both Revenues & Benefits and therefore the Council as a whole:
- Infrastructure optimisation i.e., software & hardware hosted by supplier via large UK data centre vs on premise hosting
- Improved system user experience & operational productivity
- Ease and scalability of end-to-end system maintenance
- Externally resourced support of software and infrastructure
The proposal is that a direct award to the incumbent supplier is the most appropriate approach. This route would eliminate the risk of the additional minimum £1mill resulting from moving to a new supplier, whilst still fulfilling the originally intended benefits of supplier hosting and managed services.
This view also takes into account product demonstrations evidencing minimal differences in competitor products & roadmaps and technical discussions with Technology Services regarding hosting & infrastructure - all strongly indicating that long-term contract award to Capita will not leave the Council in a financially, technologically or functionally disadvantageous position.

Estates Minor Works Engagement Event
19 November 2024
Statement of Requirement
Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust are hosting an engagement event to generate ideas based on the experiences of potential service providers and to help us develop a better understanding of the full scope of options available for a possible Minor Works Framework.
Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) are seeking to create this Minor Works Framework that will allow us to operate an efficient and cost-effective process for awarding works to a pre-qualified pool of Contractors.
Works will primarily originate from the Trust's Capital Programme, which aligns primarily with the following categories; external and internal general building works, roof replacement and repair (all variations), electrical and/or mechanical works packages (including associated controls, systems - nurse call, BMS etc, sustainable technologies), resurfacing and grounds improvement works.
In 2022, KCHFT commissioned a survey of its buildings. This suggests the Trust has a Maintenance Backlog over the next 5 years that will potentially require c£30-40m capital investment.
Funding allocated to capital works in the current financial year (24/25) was £1.8m, and over recent years this was in the region of £3m to £5m per annum. To meet NHS Estate requirement to eradicate backlog over a 5-year cycle, capital allocation is expected to increase when the financial climate improves.
As the Trust's strategic direction adapts to societal need, ad hoc schemes often arise with a short run time that have to be delivered concurrently to planned capital works. As an example, the Trust receives a request to deliver additional specialist services from a new location as central funding has become available. Ad hoc projects of this nature may require a multidisciplinary team of contractors that are adequately resourced to mobilise quickly to deliver the scheme within a constrained time frame.
Currently, it is thought that a Framework or Dynamic Purchasing System - DPS could be structured in Lots, with the facility to direct award to the most economically advantageous bidder within the initial tender per discipline within a predefined value range, while retaining the ability to compete within the Framework at the discretion of the Trust.  This Framework/DPS may be open to Kent & Medway ICB organisations as well as ourselves.
We would like to understand whether this approach is the most beneficial or if an alternative model would be advantageous, and whether creating geographical partitions within the contract would provide greater access to local SME's while generating further financial efficiency for the Trust.
Once an agreed approach has been established, it is likely that procurement will be via open tender in accordance with the Cabinet Offices Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 08/20, utilising the Find a Tender Service (FTS) (link) with a contract term of minimum 5 years with flexible options to increase contract length.
The form of contract will likely be via an overarching JCT Measured Term or similar partnering contract that utilises a short form contract upon award for individual works packages. The overarching contract will provide for; a periodic pricing review, removal of poorly performing suppliers and introduction of new suppliers to replace them.
To book a place at the engagement event being held on the 19 November 2024 at Trinity House, 110-120 Upper Pemberton, Ashford, Kent, TN25 4AZ, please email sarah.woodcock2@nhs.net no later than close of play on the 15 November 2024.
The event will be open from 09.30 and will start promptly at 10.00.  Dependent on the number of responses, this may be split into two sessions, so please provide an email address as well and the names of potential attendees.
This is an engagement exercise at this point in time and may not lead to a procurement process.

The Strategic Programme for Urgent and Emergency Care are seeking to establish a 12 month pilot for a support contract which would carry out observations and assessments. This would enable the Clinical Support Hub (CSH) to manage more cases more appropriately saving time and resource for traditional UPC OOH services. The pilot provider are able to visit patients in their own homes and in care homes and there is also an option to have a wheelchair-enabled car that can transport patients either to hospital, if required, or to an out of hours base. An example of the activities under the Clinical Support Hub Mobile Resource Pilot are;
1. 12 lead ECG for interpretation by a Clinician
2. Taking bloods and transporting to laboratory
3. Urine dip
4. Weighing patients
5. Patient transport to UPC base
6. Support to pull cases from the 111 PEQ (stack)
7. Support direct admission
8. Patient follow up to monitor /update observations
The proposed pilot will cover the three CSH: Vantage Point House (East), Thanet house (West), and Ty Elwy (North), with two cars for North and West Wales to take account of the geography, thereby covering the whole of Wales. The service would be in place for 10 hours per day on Saturdays/Sundays and 8 hours on Bank holidays.

title: Care in the Community Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System

label: Short Description

text:
UPDATE - The requirement for a local office base has been removed from the pass/fail criteria for Lot 6, following discussion around national organisations having specific skills supporting a minority of people, such as a stroke or acquired brain injury, but supporting people on a local level. Despite this, there may be a requirement for a local office for some Contracts when awarded via a mini competition, but in these instances this will be outlined in the mini competition criteria and specification for the specific contract.
Additionally, the CQC registration and rating requirement has also been changed to duplicate that of lots 3 and 4, to enable organisations who do not provide personal care for example, and do not require a CQC registration to apply.
Further, the Contract is now expected to commence on 04th July 2025

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The end of the previously tendered Council contract was to coincide with the commencement of a new arc2l contract for the processing and treatment of the Council’s CA Residual & Bulky Wastes. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the arc21 contract has been delayed, the contract only recently being advertised with a current return date of 6 November 2024. The continuance of the Council’s local contract with Irish Waste Services is to facility the transition to the arc21 contract upon its commencement and to ensure service continuity and no disruption to service in the interim. Not having a contract in place will lead to not only reputational damage but will have a negative impact on the Council’s statutory obligations to divert waste from landfill and increase recycling as required by The Waste(Circular Economy) (Amendment) Regulations (NI) 2020.
