It is considered that the award of this contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons.

NHSBT are completely dependent on Savant’s technical knowledge of the system, architecture and business processes. NHSBT do not control or own the end-to-end delivery platform and are dependent on tooling which is under the control of Savant. To assure safe delivery to donors and patients, NHSBT must address all of these technical requirements. This constitutes a near technical impossibility for another economic operator to achieve the required performance, or the necessity to use specific know-how, tools or means which only Savant has at its disposal.

ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED

locality: Crawley

streetAddress: 32 Railey Road

legalName: ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED


description:
1.1	Good mental wellbeing is the foundation for good mental health. Mental wellbeing relates to our sense of self, ability to meet our potential, develop relationships and perform activities we think are important and worthwhile.  Evidence shows that the better our mental wellbeing the more able we are to cope with life’s stresses, and the less likely we are to become unwell. However, worryingly, we see that levels of anxiety are on the rise, particularly among 16 – 29 year olds where rates are six times higher compared with adults over the age of 70.
1.2	Although related to mental wellbeing mental health problems are concerned with specific signs and symptoms which indicate a diagnosable condition that affects our emotional state, physical function, behaviour and thinking and can impact on our ability to work, care for our families and contribute to society. Nearly 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem of some kind. That’s potentially over 300,000 people in Essex.
1.3	Mental wellbeing and mental health problems vary along a continuum, not only between individuals but also at different times in the same person. There are many reasons a person can experience poor mental health, some of which include: unemployment or job insecurity, debt, bereavement, relationship breakdown, insecure housing, trauma, caring responsibilities, immigration status, domestic abuse, life event, crime and physical illness. What’s more an accumulation of these factors increases the risk.
1.4	There is strong evidence that therapeutic and pharmacological interventions are effective at treating mental health problems. However, to help protect positive wellbeing and prevent mental health problems the evidence highlights five pillars of activity:
a.	Connecting with others - this can help build a sense of belonging, self-worth and value.
b.	Getting active - physical activity helps to maintain positive mental wellbeing by raising self-esteem and causing chemical changes in your brain which help to positively change mood.
c.	Mindfulness – taking notice of how you feel and the world around you can help individuals better manage feelings of stress and anxiety and change the way that they deal with challenges.
d.	Learning – learning a new skill or developing competence can boost self-esteem and give a sense of purpose.
e.	Giving – participating in social and community life crates positive feelings and a sense of reward, purpose and self-worth.
1.5	Essex County Council has undertaken discovery work to better understand what residents and professionals experiences are of services that seek to prevent and treat mental health problems across Essex. This included digital ethnographic work with 18 residents, a survey of 103 residents and 146 professionals, a workshops involving 40 residents and 86 professionals.
1.6	From the discovery work we have identified that:
a.	Residents find it hard to take action to care for their own mental wellbeing and mental health problems as they are unclear on what to do and where to go. Regardless of their level of need they either don’t know about or find it difficult to navigate existing services.
b.	Residents often end up going to their GP for help as they don’t know what else to do.
c.	Residents often find that their mental health problems aren’t severe enough to warrant clinical intervention or, if they are, they end up on a protracted waiting list for a service.
d.	The majority of professionals did not believe that there was a sufficient prevention or early intervention offer.
1.7	From this work ECC has identified a need to provide on demand support to residents to: improve and maintain positive mental wellbeing; prevent or improve emerging or existing mental health problems; and reduce the likelihood of recurrence of mental health problems, by:
a.	Helping them to assess their own mental wellbeing needs, helping them set personalised goals and supporting them to identify and engage with existing self-help resources and existing services which match their needs.
b.	providing expert advice and information, from trusted sources, on a range of mental wellbeing and mental health topics.
c.	use behavioural science informed approaches that will support residents to adopt and maintain behaviours that align with the five pillars of wellbeing.
d.	Providing expert advice on the range of free local services that could meet the wellbeing needs identified by the resident.
e.	facilitating self/professional referral into clinical services e.g. talking therapies, as appropriate, and provide notifications on how the referral is progressing.

This notice is for an EME event being held on the 1st October 2024 at 10am UK time. Please use this link to register for the event
https://forms.office.com/e/0nXJy2j2Fi
At this time the route to market has yet to be determined
The Programme will address the primary driver of deforestation across the Congo Basin - small-scale agricultural practices by local communities. This will be achieved by working directly with beneficiaries to support transitions to income generated through more sustainable activities - effective community forests, improving agricultural efficiencies, and encouraging sustainable agroforestry.
Reinforced through helping local communities to secure and operationalise land tenure rights, whilst building local and regional capacities and knowledge, with a focus on equipping beneficiaries to continue sustaining activities beyond the programme period.
Co-design and co-ownership at its core. This means ensuring beneficiaries form a key part of the design of programme activities. This reduces the risk of such activities failing once programme funding ends.
These activities will be focused on areas of active deforestation as a result of human activity. These are primarily unprotected forest frontier zones where local populations are encroaching on the forest for economic reasons.
This EME is focused on 2 components and is a follow up to the event held earlier in 2024, with the latest developments to the ToR and timescales

	-   Manufacturer warranty management for all commodity equipment, such as desktops and laptops.

region: UKK

title: Single Source Maintenance

description: Repair and maintenance services

procurementMethodRationale:
The primary driver behind the urgency to put the support service in place is the imminent expiry date of the current contract, unforeseen delay in dependent projects and the premature departure of key technical resources within Met Office that has left the business area with insufficient resource to undertake a planned re-tender (with approved Business Case).
There is now an immediate and urgent need to put in place an interim arrangement for a period of one year to ensure continuity of the critical support service and to enable a re-scoping of the support service which will be revised due to additional and on-going projects within the Home Office associated with the core network.
If Met Office is unable to proceed this opportunity will be lost and the organisation would lose key support for the existing CISCO equipment as this allows for support and security updates. The SSM service also covers Dell and other supplier hardware primarily in the Met Office IT Halls and the outstations. It is important this stays in place as server failures would impact operational services and the Digital Workplace.
The Met Office intends to re-tender the SSM service within the next year and has a fully costed and approved Business Case for this procurement activity.

description: Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Cecil Francis Alexander Celebrated. This project is an interfaith, inter-church, community education and tourism project. It will bring people of diverse Christian faith traditions (and wider to include those with no or other religion) together to research and celebrate the life of Cecil Frances Alexander with relevance to Strabane and the North-West area. The PEACEPLUS co-design process highlighted the opportunity to use her life as a topic of shared interest to build relationships, dialogue and awareness. Cecil Frances Alexander was a famous hymn writer (All Things Bright and Beautiful, There is a Green Hill Far Away etc.) who lived in Strabane. The project is a key faith-based project recruiting participants from Christian churches, other world faiths, history and community groups who might otherwise not mix across religious and cultural traditions. As it may prove of particular interest to older people, the project should inbuild accessibility for rural participants, the elderly, those with disabilities and other access requirements to maximise engagement. Whilst Cecil Frances Alexander’s life and works do also have welcome connections with other parts of the council area and beyond, it was the co-design process in the Strabane District Electoral Area (DEA) which showed specific interest in engagement. This project should therefore strive to bring key benefit to that area, using that area and the surrounding rural areas as it’s primary area for recruitment of participants in the first instance. Participants from elsewhere are however welcome to fill remaining places and/or bring cross-community balance. This project is under the Celebrating Cultures and Diversity Theme. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.

The DIAL team are looking to procure a new and upgraded IR laser system to replace their aging unit.
The pump laser will be a seeded flashlamp pumped laser with pulse duration of 9 ns and line width 0.003 cm-1, it will be capable of simultaneously emit the fundamental and second harmonic at a repetition rate of 20 Hz. The pulse energy in the IR should be around 700 mJ and 400 mJ in the green.
The system needs to be capable of outputting a total wavelength range between 1.5 – 3.5 µm. Obtaining the tuneability utilising a dye laser and a two-stage non-linear mixing component. The system should be designed in such a way that the wavelength can be switched between two wavelengths at a frequency of greater than (or equal to) 5 Hz. Any wavelength drift must be minimal and easily corrected by a competent operator.
The system should be fully integrated, and installed subject to a site acceptance test at NPL’s facility.  NPL expect the system to be maintained by the supplier on an ad hoc basis and serviced by the supplier annually.
Requirement is for one unit inclusive of Installation and after sale support.

title: IR Laser System for generating tuneable wavelength of light between 1.5 – 3.5 µm

description: Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)

procurementMethodRationale:
A robust tuneable mid-IR laser for this application (DIAL) are very challenging to produce. The number of non-linear stages result in lots of loss of energy. Starting from 700 mJ of 1064 nm and 400 mJ of 532 nm, resulting in just 14 mJ of useable 3.4 µm energy for measuring methane. Coupled with the requirement of the narrow linewidth and short nanosecond pulse excludes many mid-IR laser sources.
The DIAL requires selectivity between two closely separated wavelengths, one which is tuned the target species absorption peak and another which is not absorbed by the species. The DIAL technique requires oscillation between the on and off resonant wavelength and is achieved in the current IR laser system on alternate shots. Furthermore, the DIAL requires the ability to measure multiple hydrocarbon species including CH4, C2H6, CO2, and VOCs, so a platform which allows tuning over a broad wavelength region is required.  Both features are achieved using a dye laser for the broad tuneability with a piezo actuator in the resonator for the on and off selectivity.
Photonic Solutions are the only supplier for a complete system which meets the specification therefore competition is absent in the market.

The objective of the Bearsted Road scheme is to improve capacity and operational efficiency, together with improved infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The highway extents are highly constrained and therefore the available solutions are limited particularly as there is a need to minimise land take and any commercial impact on Newnham Court Shopping Village.
The scheme is expected to deliver improved capacity, better pedestrian and cycling connectivity.  The dualling option will make it possible for future traffic incidents or maintenance requirements to be catered for under lane closures, therefore enabling a two-way flow of traffic to be maintained and reducing congestion.
