description: This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. Contract for the completion of 28 partially completed homes

description: Construction work

procurementMethodRationale:
This is the direct award of a regulated procurement without first advertising the opportunity.
Justification for selected award procedure:
Reasons of urgency brought about by circumstances outwith the control of the contracting authority, the authority must proceed to award a contract without delay.
The Council is concerned if it does not take immediate action to take steps to finish the Works as soon as possible, the condition of the partially built 28 affordable homes will deteriorate significantly. This is compounded by the fact that the Works site, is adjacent to and partially surrounded by a private development which is ongoing. During the construction of the private development (a period of 24 months), access across the private development site operated by Dundas Building Co. Ltd. (Dundas) to enable the construction of the affordable housing will be severely restricted. This would mean that the Council would not be able to complete the Works within a timescale to avoid the deterioration of the Works. BY appointing Dundas, this would enable the Works to proceed alongside the private development minimising the deterioration.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council have an existing Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) plant at Hanford which currently treats around 190,000 tonnes per annum of residual waste and is operated by a private Contractor. The facility is over 25 years old, with the civils infrastructure approximately 50 years old. The plant needs to be replaced by the end of the current contract in 2030/2032.
In replacing this major piece of infrastructure, the council intend to take advantage of the opportunity to renew the site and its overall function. The site will form the hub of a state-of-the-art sustainability park. There will be a network of activity and infrastructure that will enable the city to reduce its carbon footprint and deliver sustainable energy in both the form of heat through a city wide District Heat Network (DHN), and electricity.
The council plan to remove the existing Hanford on site ERF and Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) and replace these with a new, larger ERF than can process 240,000 - 300,000 tonnes of residual waste per annum, potentially along with an associated Material Recycling Facility (MRF). This MRF may be located on another site. The ERF will deliver Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technology.
The council, working with commercial partners intends to maximise revenue from the site and leverage this to fund the delivery of their broader policies associated with managing the impact of the council's operations on the climate, i.e. the Net Zero agenda

Wirral Council are currently developing a new Market to be relocated at 1 Princes Pavement Grange Precinct, Birkenhead. The new market will replace the current Market at Perimeter Stalls, Grange Precinct which has become tired, costly to operate and requires a major transformation to make it more appealing and fit for modern market trading conditions. The aim is to inject new trading opportunities and entrepreneurs into Birkenhead Town Centre.
Design development for the market is ongoing with refurbishment and fit out works scheduled to start on site in May 2025. This will transform the building into a new Market that correlates with the success of other markets across the UK, providing an offer that reflects changes in the high street, aspiring to bring market traders both new and current together within one place and with the aim of bringing vitality back to Birkenhead.
Wirral Council are now keen to explore options for the future operation of the newly developed Birkenhead Market in the Town Centre and are undertaking this preliminary market engagement to consult with the market to inform a delivery strategy.

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Fox Hollies Special School, a SEN {Special educational needs} in Birmingham {B13-8QB}
Fox Hollies Special School is well established within the heart of Birmingham and has the love, care and personal one-two-one attention of every student within their care, where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement.
The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from October 2025  until September 2028, with the option to extend for a further term of three years on the same terms and conditions excluding the right to further extend. The contract will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis by school.
Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the schools. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit.
The schools require that the tendered number of hours are worked at all times and the successful contractor is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave.
The basis and rationale that the Client requires is for the successful contractor to operate to at all times is being able to provide clean Schools that are fit for purpose and that the Contractor is pro-active in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all output / Input specifications are achieved and that the required frequency of cleans is delivered.
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of services.  The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a clean and pleasant environment for students, staff and visitors within all of the schools consistently.
It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BIC’S standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term.
The successful contractor will be expected to put forwards both innovation and their proposals for making this contract more environmentally sensitive and carbon neutral moving into this contract term both by way of contract delivery, and also within the successful contractor’s organisation, thus working to deliver Fox Hollies Special School’s environmental polices.
The terms and conditions of employment and recognition offered to the cleaning operatives should be both progressive and forward thinking ensuring that the staffing establishment is complete at all times and staff turnover is kept to a minimum.
Fox Hollies Special School is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of cleaning services within these schools when they have joined Fox Hollies Special School will fall under the scope of this contract.

ISG Construction Ltd filed for administration on 19 September 2024 and construction works ceased.
As a interim solution to address issues brought about by ISG entering into administration and to address the urgent issues associated with protecting the project/site, the continuation of construction works and to allow sufficient time to undertake a compliant procurement process, the Authority has novated the enabling works and main works contracts for construction for a short-term interim period to the main sub-contractor appointed under the main works contracts.

Mobilising the novation with the BESL has taken place relatively quickly, including the novation of the supply chain agreements. Novation of contracts will protect the terms of these contracts & pre-agreed fixed pricing should be preserved. Retaining the existing supply chain will save costs in handover / mobilisation & other additional costs relating to restart. CC has determined it is impossible to run any form of compliant procurement exercise within the accelerated timescale due to the complexity of development of tender documents for a project part constructed.
CC has undertaken a review of the current project status & risks & believe a short-term duration of an estimated 22 wks will be necessary to allow CC to undertake a compliant procurement exercise & to address the immediate circumstances of extreme urgency which requires the site to be protected & urgent works to continue as soon as possible.
There is an urgent need to continue & complete the works carried out to date. CC has determined it is impossible to run any form of compliant procurement exercise within the accelerated timescale afforded within the open procedure or mini competition off the SEWSCAP framework, due to the complexity of development of tender documents for a project part constructed. Indicative timescales are as follows:
Develop Tender Pack:4–6wks
Allow sufficient time for Bidders to review tender & submit:8wks
Tender Evaluation:3wks
Award decision:3wks
Mobilise and Contract Start:4 wks
CC has taken independent advice to review all options regarding conducting a new procurement including the use of frameworks. The original procurement process was a mini-competition pursuant to the SEWSCAP3 framework agreement. The project is now more complex given the partly built status and a longer period is now needed due to the added complexity. There is accordingly insufficient time to conduct a procurement process using any procedure (including accelerated timescales) or undertake a framework competition.
CC has novated the main contract for a short-term duration and limited scope to mitigate further delays, by maintaining the supply chain (including the viability of the supply chain) and mobilising on site as soon as possible. Delays on programme have a significant impact on the school capacity to accommodate pupil numbers, standard of education provision and funding timescale. This is an exceptional situation where extreme urgency has been brought about by events unforeseeable and not attributable by CC, making it impossible for CC to conduct a regulated procedure within prescribed time limits due to the critical nature of the works both in terms of health and safety, viability of the supply chain, state and condition of partly completed works and the required delivery date of the campus. The award (by way of novation of the original enabling and main works contracts) to BESL is strictly necessary and to allow CC the requisite period of time to undertake a full procurement exercise. Whilst the initial contract award is to novate the entire contract for a sum of 88M GBP, CC will immediately vary the contract to instruct BESL to pick up the interim works and carry out these works to completion (as defined) the intention is for a 22 wk contract at an approximate cost of 33MGBP. BESL agrees to novate the contract to a replacement contractor at an identified stage of the works which will be defined in the scope

Tower Hamlets has a proud history of supporting people who are socially excluded through the delivery of personalised, early intervention housing support services.
Tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a key priority for the Council and has developed the Tower Hamlets Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy 2019-24. This strategy sets out our priorities and commitments for tackling all forms of gendered violence. The provision of supported emergency accommodation which offers women with their children an immediate safe route out of homes where they have experienced domestic abuse is key to meeting this commitment.
Further to this the new Domestic Abuse Act 2021 places a duty on local authorities in England to provide support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in refuges or other safe accommodation.
Tower Hamlets Council delivers our refuge provision within a pan-London strategic response to domestic violence working closely with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and specifically the Mayors Office for Policing & Crime (MOPAC). London’s draft strategy for consultation was published on 5th November 2021, informed by a London needs assessment. The final Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Strategy was published in December 2021
The service will deliver as a minimum:
•	5 hours per week, per person of direct support
•	It should include as a minimum a first point of contact for service users during the operating hours.
Provision of a property for the service is also required
Full information can be found in the tender documents

NHS Blood & Transplant (NHSBT) and Scottish National Blood Transfusion (SNBTS) Red Cell Immunohaematology (RCI) departments are seeking to engage with suppliers of red cell genotyping methods via an early market engagement exercise. Please note this is not the start of a procurement process; a separate contract notice will be published to cover this requirement.

Prior to commencing the formal procurement process, NHSBT and SNBTS would like to consult the market to improve our knowledge of all current offers available in the marketplace, identify further opportunities and potential issues, as well as gauge market interest in the proposed service. This engagement will help shape NHSBT and SNBTS’s procurement strategy.

The RCI laboratories in NHSBT and SNBTS provide a range of reference services to hospitals, focusing on ensuring safe and effective blood transfusions by diagnosing and managing complex issues related to red blood cells.  For some patients, the red cell phenotype cannot be determined due to prior transfusion, treatment with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, or autoimmune conditions. For these patients, the selection of safe compatible blood for transfusion relies on red cell genotyping, a molecular method of determining blood groups. Blood is often required urgently with increased risk to the patient if this is not met. RCI reference services in NHSBT are provided from Barnsley, Birmingham, Colindale, Filton (Bristol), Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tooting. RCI reference services in SNBTS are provided from Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, although red cell genotyping is only performed on the Glasgow site.

NHSBT and SNBTS are seeking to engage with suppliers on the market who can provide red cell genotyping. The requirement is likely to include the following:
•	Extended red cell genotype (blood groups).
•	Weak and Partial Rh D.
•	Either closed or open system.
•	Processing batches, but also capable of processing smaller numbers with minimum wastage.
•	Less than 24-hour TAT, including DNA extraction to results.
•	Quality requirements (such as CE marked)

As part of the early market engagement exercise, NHSBT and SNBTS would like to discuss our requirement with suppliers along with a time frame for supply.

It is our intention to hold the early market engagement exercise supplier meetings the week of 20th January 2025. The meetings will be held remotely. To enable us to finalise arrangements (e.g. send meeting details and agree time slots), interested organisations are required to send an expression of interest via email to Coco.Otiotio@nhsbt.nhs.uk by no later than 17:00 hrs (GMT) on Monday 16th of December . This should include a list of your requested attendees and a brief overview (or a website link) of the Goods / Services which might be of interest to us in relation to this requirement. Please include options, if available, for a managed service contract.

There is no guarantee that a formal procurement process will be launched as a result of this early market engagement exercise, nor that any contract(s) will be placed. No remuneration or compensation etc will be paid to organisations who take part in this early market engagement exercise. Suppliers should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position.

The company will support the University of Birmingham's (UoB) StARS Programme team by providing detailed Banner technical development expertise essential to driving the successful implementation of critical Banner modules in scope.
Scope of Work
This includes, but is not limited to:
•	Development of Key Processes: Leading the development of vital processes for the programme, including:
o	ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes for data migration and transformation to ensure accurate and efficient data transfer between systems.
o	Development of self-service applications such as Online Registration, My Details, Course and Module Catalogue, and Reasonable Adjustments. These applications will use a variety of technologies, including React, Oracle PL/SQL, Ellucian Page Builder, Ellucian Workflow, Ellucian Ethos, and Banner Document Manager, which ensures seamless integration, enhanced functionality, and optimal user experience across all platforms.
•	Knowledge Transfer from Suppliers: Receive ongoing knowledge transfer from the Universities Framework supplier and other third-party suppliers, enabling the company to develop solutions that adhere to the StARS programme principles. These principles ensure UoB is utilising the core Banner product, with any custom developments or deviations requiring programme governance approval.
•	Internal Knowledge Transfer and BAU Transition Support: Facilitate knowledge transfer to other StARS developers, ensuring that skills and knowledge gained are effectively shared and support a smooth transition to Business-As-Usual (BAU) operations.

title: StARS project- INDUSOMAL TECHNOLOGIES UK Limited

description:
The University of Birmingham has ambitious plans to be a leading global University.  In order to achieve this, it needs to have; modern flexible systems that support efficient processes, effective decision making and provide meaningful management information.
The developer will be working on StARS (Student Administration Refresh and Simplification) which is a University-wide transformation programme to simplify, standardise and improve our student administration processes and as a consequence its services to students and staff, key enabler of this being by an upgrade of our student record system. Its vision is to deliver a better experience for students, academics and professional services staff; and enables a fundamental shift towards a more flexible set of capabilities and services that are fit for the future.
The Banner Lead Developer will be responsible for implementing the solution designs for each of the workstream releases, working closely with the Project Managers, Business Analysts, Programme IT Architect and other consultants (e.g. Ellucian), whilst ensuring that implementations of the solution design are compliant with the broader programme principles of utilising the core capability and functionality of the Banner product set.

description: Software package and information systems

procurementMethodRationale:
The University of Birmingham licenses its Student Record System Software (Banner) from Ellucian, which has been foundational to its academic and administrative processes.
Indusomal Technologies The company has worked with UoB for over two years, demonstrating both the expertise and adaptability essential to supporting the StARS Programme's ambitious goals.
Specialised Expertise and Established Knowledge:
•	Indusomal Technologies The company  brings extensive technical expertise in technologies and methodologies essential to StARS delivery, such as ETL, React, Oracle PL/SQL, Ellucian Workflow, and Banner Document Manager. Beyond technical skills, the company has developed a deep understanding of UoB's unique processes in areas like Online Registration, Student Fees, Course and Module Catalogue, Reasonable Adjustments, and Progression-areas critical to the programme's core objectives.
Time Efficiency:
•	Indusomal Technologies The company's  established knowledge and familiarity with our systems and processes allow for immediate and effective contributions, which would not be possible with a new provider. The time required to bring another supplier up to this level of understanding would be significant, leading to delays in the project timeline and impacting key programme milestones. Retaining this partnership ensures continuity and minimises the time loss that would otherwise be incurred through an extensive onboarding and training period with a new vendor.
•	Continuity and Risk Mitigation: The StARS Programme's success depends on continuity, particularly in complex areas like data migration, student records management, and integrated reporting. Disruption in this partnership could lead to delays, increased costs, and potential misalignment with programme principles. By retaining this experienced partner, UoB can mitigate these risks and ensure a stable, continuous path toward full programme implementation.
The ongoing contribution of this company remains pivotal to achieving the objectives of the StARS Programme within both budgetary and timeline constraints.
