title: VEAT SC18 004 Direct Payment Support and Mgt Services (Childrens Care)

description: Contract for delivery of Direct Payment Support and Management Service (Children Care)

description: Administrative social services

procurementMethodRationale:
The current contract with We are Beams was for an initial 3 year term with 2 x 12 month extensions options. All extensions were used and it was proposed to vary clause 2.2 of the contract to vary the end date, thereby extending for a further 12 months from 1 Apr 2024 to 31 March 2025 for the following reasons:
To explore the viability of aligning the aspects of the Disabled Support Service for Disabled Children and Young People with the Adults Direct Payment Service.
Consultation with Adult Social Care and Health (ASCH) has also been ongoing to ensure we consider their position and plans for the Adult DP service.  As part of Making a Difference every day programme, ASCH is redesigning their self directed support offer, and the opportunity to align the two DP services to create an integrated service for both ASCH and CYPE was suggested.
The development of the Whole Council approach to delivering DP services was supported in principle due to the potential advantages such as cost efficiencies and a smooth transition between CYPE and ASCH .
Some of the service elements being scoped by ASCH align with the Direct Payment Support Services for Children and Young People.   A potential joint commissioning exercise has emerged, which could offer KCC better value for money and create greater cohesion across services.
There is currently insufficient information available about ASCH's future trajectory and therefore CYPE cannot make an informed recommendation about whether this option is viable. More time is required to sufficiently scope and engage the market to ascertain if aiming for an integrated service for Kent is feasible.
Legal advice has concluded that the Council has reasonable grounds to rely on Regulation 72(1)b PCR 2015 to justify the extension beyond the optional extension periods already expressed provided in the contracts.  This is on the basis that a change of providers cannot be made for economic or technical reasons.
There are economic reasons why a change of provider cannot yet be made.  There is an opportunity to create economies of scale when conducting the market engagement, competitive procurement and managing the contract should both CYPE and Adults Direct Payment Services be combined into one procurement.
This should create significant cost savings and value for money efficiencies. There would also be the opportunity to create efficiencies across both services by ensuring working practices are effective and reduce the duplication of management costs.
There are also technical reasons why a change of provider cannot be made sooner.  The Council has a duty to offer a Direct Payment Support Service under the Care Act 2014, section 1 17 (2c) of the Mental Health Act 1983, the Care and Support (DP) Regulations 2014 and the Children's and Families Act 2014.  The potential to combine both services offers the potential  for a 'whole Council' approach to the way Direct Payments are delivered to ensure cohesion and equity across Children's and Adults services (for example in terms of levels of support that is offered and the consistency in costs)  The Councils Adults Social Care team has ambitious plans to increase the Direct Payments activity across Adults Social Care significantly . This could create volatility within the Children's sector as both services seek resources from the same pool of carers at a time when there are already resource challenges being faced.  It is important that both services work together to resolve these issues to ensure continuity of service and avoid any destabilizing effects.  The Council requires more time to test the market. CYPE DMT and CYPE Cabinet Committee approvals are in place for the proposed additional 12 month extension. Negotiations with the provider for contract costs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025  have concluded and the capacity of the cases with be reduced providing £43k savings.

This lot is for Domiciliary Home Care Services for Adults
Milton Keynes Council has adopted the UNISON's Ethical Care Charter and is committed to abide by its recommendations. The over-riding objective is to establish a minimum baseline for the safety, quality, and dignity of care by ensuring employment conditions which
a) do not routinely short-change Service Users and
b) ensure the recruitment and retention of a more stable
workforce through more sustainable pay, conditions, and training levels.
The core hour time allocated to visits will match the needs of the Service Users. For avoidance of doubt, 15-minute visits will not be used under the core hours as they undermine the dignity of the Service Users and are not recommended by the UNISON Ethical Care Charter.
This service is for those residents who have been assessed as eligible for support from adult social care following an assessment under legislation Section 9 of the Care Act 2014
This specification describes the key features of the service and the outcomes required and should be read in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.
The service will offer planned and emergency visits during the core hours between 6.30am and 10.30pm, 7 days a week including all bank holidays and flexible hours between 10.30pm and 6.30am.
It is imperative that Service Users are at the heart of adult health and social care activities receiving services that are easy to access, of excellent quality and that maximise their ability to live independently and safely in their home and community.
In ensuring that the services provide seamless excellent quality Home Care provision the Council and Providers will be committed to working together in partnership through:
Ensuring that Service Users and Carers engage in the development, delivery and monitoring of the service provided and are able to contribute views in relation to how the delivery of the service is achieving individual outcomes.
Developing close links with the GPs, local community, families, carers, and all health and social care professionals within the area
Having a shared vision about the community and individual outcomes which can be achieved through the provision of a superior quality Home Care Service
Collaborating for the benefit of Service Users
Communicating honestly, openly, regularly, and efficiently
Sharing relevant information, expertise, and plans
Seeking to avoid conflict but where it arises ensuring that it is resolved quickly, efficiently, and professionally at a local level with no detriment to the Service User
Monitoring quality and performance, quickly identifying and taking firm and timely remedial action where necessary.
Striving for continuous improvement, reflecting new learning as it
emerges and working together to ensure that available resources are maximised to achieve the best outcomes for individuals and the local community.
Ensuring that provider complies with current legislative requirements of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Recognising that during the period of the contract there are likely to be changes in service requirements at a national and local level, which will need to be responded to in a professional, flexible, and responsive manner, ensuring outcomes are maintained and best use made of resources available.
Home Care is the provision of person centred, personal care, enabling care and/or other services that are necessary to maintain a Service User's quality of life, enabling them to remain living in their own home and achieve their specified outcomes. Home Care is not about doing things for people in a way that increases dependency, but about supporting people to do things for themselves as far as they are able.
The Service will achieve a primary objective of enabling people in the Milton Keynes community to remain living at home for as long as possible and maintaining an excellent quality of life which meets the Service User's identified outcomes.
Home Care services will be available 365 (366 in leap years) days a year between the core hours of 6.30am and 10.30pm. Providers are required to confirm their flexibility
of timing outside of these core hours to reflect a person centred approach to the provision of night support services.
During the enrolment stage (via the DPS), provider will have an opportunity to select their core hours and flexible hours (overnight). The Council will collaborate with the Provider to ensure continuity of care and that the needs of the Service User are met.

This lot is for Domiciliary Home Care Services for Adults
The service is for children and young people with profound and significant learning and/or physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses who have been assessed as a child in need, as set out in the Children Act 1989, the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 and the Children and Families Act 2014. It will provide children and young people and their parents/carers with support that is personalised to meet their individual needs and range from providing personal care in the home to support in accessing community and leisure opportunities.
Children and young people and their parents/carers are at the heart of the assessment and will require services that are easy to access, of excellent quality and that maximises their ability to live independently and safely in their home and community.
Milton Keynes Council has adopted the UNISON Ethical Care Charter and is committed to abide by its recommendations. UNISON's evidence, along with that of other bodies such as the UKHA (United Kingdom Homecare Association), shows that working conditions are intrinsically bound up with the quality of care.
The over-riding objective is to establish a minimum baseline for the safety, quality, and dignity of care by ensuring employment conditions which:
• do not routinely short-change clients; and
• ensures the recruitment and retention of a more stable workforce through more sustainable pay, conditions, and training levels.
The service will offer planned and emergency visits during the core hours between 6:30am and 10:30pm, 7 days a week including all bank holidays and flexible hours between 10.30pm and 6.30am.The time allocated to individual visits will match the needs of the clients. In a few instances the visits required will be short (up to half an hour) and in others, long (between two and four hours). The majority of visits, however, will be between one and two hours in duration.
This specification describes the key features of the service and the outcomes required and should be read in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions of the contract.
In ensuring that the Service provides seamless superior quality (Domiciliary) Home Care provision, Milton Keynes Council and Providers will be committed to working together in partnership through:
Ensuring that children and young people and their parents/carers engage in the development, delivery and monitoring of the service provided and are able to contribute views in relation to how the delivery of the service is achieving individual and community outcomes.

title: Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services - North East Essex

name: East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust

description:
NEPTS comprises the movement of patients whose condition is not considered an 'emergency' and who can, therefore, travel in an ambulance vehicle specified to a lower level of medical provision, or, indeed, a car.
NEPTS are typified by the non-urgent, planned, transportation of patients with a medical need for transport to and from a premises providing NHS healthcare and between NHS healthcare providers.
NEPTS are a key enabler underpinning access to elective care and supporting timely and efficient discharge processes for acute and community providers. Continuity of provision is important for the system to maintain patient flow and stability.
The length of the contract is two years as this allows the necessary time to complete a complex procurement and allow one year for mobilisation, as requested by providers.  This also ensures stability of provision whilst procuring and prevents additional interim running costs, and the potential for high service transfer costs for a short contract period.
NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board are awarding the contract named within this notice due to an urgent circumstance which is outlined within the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

name: To address immediate risks to safety and quality of care

description: Provision is to cover the North East Essex Alliance locality.

description: Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) provision within the North East Essex Alliance footprints. The service is to be provided to all eligible patients, as per NHS E's eligibility criteria.

description: Health services

procurementMethodRationale:
The recent NEPTS procurement was abandoned following challenge. This did not leave the ICB with enough time to complete a full procurement for the new service and allow sufficient time for mobilisation before the existing contract expired.  Due to the need to maintain stability, continuity and prevent unnecessary costs the ICB have awarded this contract to the incumbent provider.
To enable the procurement of a new NEPTS service the contract length needs to be long enough to allow time to procure and mobilise; and prevent disproportionate additional costs of transferring / competing a short-term contract.  The incumbent provider has been awarded a two-year contract, commencing on 1 April 2024, ending on 31 March 2026 with no option of extension.

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population integrated with their additional pharmacy contracts. CPV 85149000-5 pharmacy services.

This award has been made following direct award process B.

The lifetime value of this contract is based on patient choice, therefore the overall value of this contract will vary depending on patient activity over the contract period.

The contract will run from 01/04/2024 to 01/03/2025

This is an existing service and an existing provider.

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 (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme.

This requirement is for the continued support and development of SeeByte’s suite of proprietary software which was privately developed by SeeByte.  This software is widely used in different applications by the Royal Navy and works collectively and collaboratively to optimise the operation and effectiveness of its autonomous vehicles (both surface and underwater).
This requirement is a direct continuation of the same services previously procured by the MoD, initially under the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory’s Science & Technology (S&T) programme and more recently by MHC.  Ensuring contractual cover to facilitate the continuing support and evolutionary development of this software is critical to maintaining the Royal Navy’s existing capability.  Given the history of the development of this software by SeeByte Limited, integrated into Royal Navy autonomous vehicles, there is no other reasonable alternative software available on the market that would meet the MoD’s continuing requirements.

name: Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital

description:
Our decision to exclusively source the OsCell laboratory to manufacture the chondrocyte therapy is founded on several irrefutable factors. The OsCell Laboratory is the only GMP facility within the UK who currently manufacture a GMP compliant chondrocyte therapy for clinic use. It is the most experienced laboratory in the UK for the manufacture of chondrocytes, with a proven track record of chondrocyte manufacture since 1997. OsCell is the only GMP laboratory in the UK with the necessary experience of process development and the validation of new therapies for cartilage repair, as well as producing cells for use in a clinical trial of a cell therapy for cartilage repair. RJAH and the OsCell Laboratory, together with Keele University, instigated and delivered the ACTIVE trial (ISRCTN48911177), which remains the largest clinical trial investigating a chondrocyte cell therapy in the world. In addition, the RJAH and OsCell Laboratory has just completed the ASCOT trial (ISRCTN98997175), a randomised controlled trial of autologous chondrocyte implantation vs. two mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies, 1 of which was combined with chondrocytes. No other facility in the UK possesses the capability to furnish us with the complete suite of resources, knowledge, experience and support necessary to uphold the exceptional standards of research and innovation we strive to maintain.
The funding requirements and the current project status require the manufacturer to be in a position to commence manufacture within 2 months. The location of the OsCell laboratory is unique in that it is on the same site as the Keele University researchers involved in the study. This provides the researchers with the opportunity to closely interact with the facility to enable rapid knowledge transfer and ensure, as best as possible, that the future timelines of the project are met. It is anticipated that the manufacture protocols of the new therapy can be easily embedded within the facility and minimise the training requirements, hence facilitating a relatively early adoption. In addition, the close proximity will allow for optimised training and practice, negating the need for additional ethical and administrative approvals. The use of any other facility would result in significant delays, particularly regarding training and administration, which would threaten the project timelines. The nature of the OsCell Laboratory facility is also unique in that only 1 research project at a time is accepted by the facility, guaranteeing the project will receive the necessary priority that the current imposed timelines necessitate. The Qualified Person (QP) involved in the project for the last 14 months would remain in place, ensuring continuity. No other facility can provide a QP with prior knowledge of the project and experience of currently supervising the release of manufactured chondrocytes for clinical use in a UK facility.

title: ACT2 Project

description:
University of Birmingham (UoB) is the sponsor of ACT2 (Allogeneic Chondrocyte Therapy - A phase 2a study), an MRC funded project (MR/V027670/1). The study commenced in 2021 with the aim to develop and manufacture an allogeneic chondroprogenitor cell therapy from fresh osteochondral allografts in order to treat cartilage lesions in a single surgery. The study requires a manufacturing facility that can work with the research team to develop and validate the manufacturing process of the cell therapy product to a standard that can gain MHRA approval and thus enable the commencement of a Phase 2a human trial. Due to unforeseen circumstances UoB is no longer able to manufacture the cell therapy product and, thus an alternative manufacturing facility is required expeditiously.
The UoB team must operate within the restrictions placed upon them by the funder and the current project plan. In addition to this, the administrative burden as a consequence of BREXIT makes the use of a UK labaratory the only viable option. The  OsCell Laboratory at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Hospital (RJAH) has the unique requirements to deliver the project within the financial and time restrictions facing the project.

The Hinkley BEEMS (British EDF Estuarine and Marine Studies) programme is funded by New Nuclear Build Generation Company (HPC) Ltd. Through this programme, Cefas provide authoritative scientific information on the marine and transitional waters in the vicinity of potential new build nuclear power stations and require a competent supplier to deliver the following;

Cefas require a supplier to conduct subtidal monitoring surveys for the Hinkley Point C (HPC) Nuclear New Build (NNB) project to meet regulatory environmental monitoring requirements. At HPC, the Sabellaria spp. monitoring programme focuses on mapping and assessing the condition (i.e. reefiness) of the subtidal biogenic reefs present on the seabed at Hinkley Point.

The objective of the proposed surveys is to measure the spatial extent of the Sabellaria spp. by collecting high-resolution Side Scan Sonar (SSS) data of the area of interest and to ground-truth an area of the seabed with an Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar (ARIS) camera (Sound Metrics ARIS Explorer 3000) and RT3 rotator to confirm the seabed type and the presence or absence of Sabellaria spp. tube aggregations.

A survey is required in Autumn/Winter for Financial Year 24/25 (November 2024 - February 2025) and a second survey in Spring (April/May) 2025. The specified 'Sound Metrics ARIS Explorer 3000' is required to ensure quality and data consistency with the previous survey, and therefore it is a requirement for the supplier to either own or be able to hire, the equipment for the survey. The Autumn/Winter survey extent comprises an area of 9.7 km2, with the Spring survey extent 5.3 km2, extending to approximately 4.5 km offshore from Hinkley Point.
