reviewDetails:
The contracting authority intends to award this contract without prior publication of a contract notice. Potential economic operators may contact the contracting authority with any objections. A standstill period of 10 calendar days will be observed from the date of publication of this VEAT Notice before entering into the contract.
Should a challenge to this notice or the intended award arise, it must be made promptly in accordance with the remedies provided under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
This contract is being awarded directly under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The circumstances that justify this procedure are as follows:
•	Legal Basis: Regulation 32(2)(Subsection: b)
•	Explanation of Grounds:
(ii) Technical reasons or exclusive rights: The goods, services, or works can only be provided by one supplier due to technical reasons or the protection of exclusive rights, and no reasonable alternative exists.
The delay in initiating a procurement process is due to the plan to conduct a joint procurement with Blackpool and Wyre Councils, whose contracts expire in September 2025. This joint procurement aims to synchronize contract end dates, leading to efficiency and cost savings for all three councils: Wyre, Blackpool, and Fylde.
As this contract involves TUPE, we would not have time to procure a new contract. By directly awarding the contract in the short term, we ensure the continuation of critical services without interruption, which is in the public interest. Without this contract, there could be a break in service and increased costs, which would not benefit the public due to the lack of a formal agreement.

Introduction/Description
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is issued to inform potential suppliers of the forthcoming procurement for Claims Handling and Litigation Services. The purpose is to give early notification and engage with the market prior to the formal procurement process.
Network Rail is striving to deliver a simpler, better, greener railway, as the industry transitions towards GBR (Great British Railways).
Network Rail require a one-stop shop whereby both claims handling and litigation services are provided, however, the tendered model could involve a provider who can provide both claims handling and litigation services (firm of solicitors), or alternatively a TPA (third party administrator) dealing with the claims handling, teaming up with a provider of litigation services.
The Scope of Services
Network Rail operates a devolved model whereby the organisation is divided into 5 regions – Wales & Western, Southern, North-western Central, Scotland and Eastern. However, the tender will not be split into lots for each region, therefore the successful tenderer will need to be able to provide national coverage, as the contract award will go to just a single tenderer, with there being no panel structure in place.
The services will cover:
· Claims management for insurance and non-insurance claims
· Litigation services, including pre-litigation investigations, dispute resolution and representation
· Legal advisory services related to claims
· Administrative support and reporting associated with claims handling
The anticipated services will include (but not limited to):
· Public Liability claims,
· Property Owners Liability claims; and
· Employers Liability claims
· third-party property damage claims
· personal injury claims
· first-party property damage recoveries
· litigation services
Additional Information
The Procurement process is expected to commence in early March 2025 (estimated). This PIN is for information purposes only; no tender documents are available at this stage. Interested suppliers are encouraged to express their interest for the forthcoming tender via the link below:
https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=4cMswn9dTU--A9WhWMyUCWxW-vQrfhVCsEtb2F2HVmpUNllHWllCMDMzRUpMVzA2T1lTNEZNTUYzUS4u
Interested suppliers are required to express an interest for the Expression of Interest (EOI) by the 10 January 2025. Further details will be published in due course.

The framework will provide both appraisal, design, technical support and construction works that support the EA’s asset management, maintenance, refurbishment and construction programmes of work. The Framework will be required to develop, design and deliver nature based solutions and more traditional hard engineering based solutions. The framework will be used for construction projects in the range of £1m to ~£75m (upper limit TBC). Construction and detailed design services will be split across multiple value lots.

Interested suppliers are invited to attend a Market Engagement Webinar at 13:30 – 15:30 on the 23rd of January 2025. This Webinar will provide an overview of the proposed CDF2 framework model and the draft contracting, pricing and incentivisation approach.

Please note suppliers will be asked to attend only one of the in-person events. These sessions will give interested parties the opportunity to engage further on the proposed Framework model and request clarity and provide feedback on the proposed opportunity, ahead of the tender process commencing July 2025 (expected date).

We expect that all services in Lots 2 and 3 will be procured through a single contracting entity.

All lots will be awarded on a geographic basis, this is expected to be across 3 regional hubs. All suppliers will also form part a pool to deliver nationally commissioned work. In addition, all Lot 3 suppliers will be required to have operational capability on a national basis.  All Lots will include the option for the Environment Agency to run competitions for certain projects.

It is anticipated that the Framework will be open to use by other Public Contracting Authorities.

The figures are based on previous spend together with projections for future budget profiles.  It will fluctuate depending on geography. These figures are based on an assumed cost model, and maybe subject to change. The Environment Agency is not committing to the figures below.

This information is provided to enable suppliers to understand the value and scale of the relative Lots. Please note that as per HM Treasury policy, bidding entities will be required to demonstrate annual turnover equal or greater to 200% of the annual average framework value per single supplier within the relevant lot/hub, at the time of bidding for the framework.

title: 713624450 One Way Effector (OWE)

description: Purchase of One Way Effectors (OWE)

description: Unmanned aerial vehicles

procurementMethodRationale:
The Secretary of State for Defence, acting through DE&S (the “Authority”) intends to award Modini Limited a direct contract for the supply of One Way Effector (OWE) systems for Project ASGARD in support of Op CABRIT. The estimated value of this contract is £7.5m and the proposed term is 24 Months. This will be awarded as a call-off contract under the Human Machine Teaming (HMT) Framework, contract reference 702953450.
Project ASGARD will be a software-defined, network enabled reconnaissance and strike complex, consisting a suite of digital and data components that enable decision support. This software defined approach will provide an ‘any sensor to any effector’ decision advantage capability. The procurement to which this notice relates will be for the one way effector systems only, with the other elements of ASGARD being subject to separate procurements.
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011, as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
It is considered that award of the contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.
This is because the Authority has identified strict technical impracticality for a supplier other than the chosen supplier to achieve the Authority’s technical requirements as it is necessary to use specific knowledge, tools or means which only MODINI Limited currently has at its disposal. More specifically this relates to the mandatory performance characteristics of the required solution, namely payload weight, scalability, range, max speed and terrain following capability. Due to the particular timescales for this requirement, it was also identified that only Modini could reach the Authority’s strict and necessary deadlines for production and delivery of the hardware for Spring 25 & be deployed on Op Cabrit in Summer 25.
It should be noted that Project ASGARD is intended to meet a specific, near-term capability need and will not define technical solutions for UK MOD’s longer term OWE based capability requirements.

procurementMethodRationale: the Health Board has chosen the Olympus BX53 microscope solution because it has some unique benefits that other microscope solutions cannot provide. 1.	This system has a true colour LED light source which already makes the BX53 unique.  The light source is a critical part of the microscope and providing high quality images is of paramount importance in diagnosis and evaluation (the colour rendering index will not change during adjustments in intensity, i.e. between low and high magnification).  2.	There is a direct benefit of having FN26.5 observation system for viewing tissue sections under the microscope.  Standard optical systems have FN22 or FN25 which limits observation field.

Intention to directly award a contract up to 5 years for the provision of an accommodation-based support service exclusively for vulnerable Enfield Young People of 18-24 years old to the contracting authority's existing provider, Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd.
Therefore, the contracting authority intends to award the proposed contract in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and (iii) of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the negotiated procedure without prior publication due to there being no reasonable alternative or substitute and due to the protection of exclusive rights (ownership of purpose-built properties within the Borough) and is further explained as required within this Notice below.

description: Welfare services for children and young people

title: Young Persons Supported Living / Accommodation Pathway Service

description:
The provision of an accommodation-based support service exclusively for vulnerable Enfield Young People of 18-24 years old. The service provides various levels of support depending on the Young Person’s needs. Supporting them into Education, Employment or Training and providing life skills for them to enable the Young Person to move on into an independent lifestyle.
In the current pathway, all of the remaining properties are owned by the existing provider (Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd) apart from one other location. Furthermore, the provider does not want to dispose of or sublet their properties to another supported living provider. Some of the units have covenants upon them which means they can only be occupied by individuals requiring on-site support.
The pathway utilises the best units currently available to the provider. By having schemes of 14+ units, it maximises support resources available. The proposed pathway under the proposed contract will yield savings against the current contract.
To ensure that the contracting authority continue to benefit from the accommodation, a direct award for a newly remodelled contract is proposed as there is no reasonable alternative or substitute that exists to deliver the volume, quality and suitability of schemes within Enfield, in the current accommodation marketplace; even after reducing the number of units in the pathway.
The proposed contract is to be awarded for an initial term of three (3) years with an option to extend for a further period of two (2 years), thus giving a total contract length of up to five (5) years.
The service advertised in this notice falls under the services listed in Chapter 3 and Schedule 3 (Social and other specific services) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process that will apply to the service is specified in the Notice accordingly.

description: Health and social work services

procurementMethodRationale:
The key reasoning and justification are set out below:
Firstly, the existing provider’s exclusive ownership and possession of properties used for the service provision and the need to avoid disruption for the residents. This decision to directly award the proposed contract would ensure the continuation of 94 units of purpose-built accommodation for vulnerable Young People (that we may lose if going out to tender). The housing market is very limited in Enfield and the loss of these units would put further pressure on the market and risk significant disruption for the vulnerable Young People currently accessing the service.
Secondly, the absence of competition for technical reasons as there are no other providers that could secure the amount and quality of supported accommodation within a reasonable timeframe. Without the concentration of units currently achieved through the arrangements with Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd (which owns the units) the service to vulnerable young people would be fragmented and would lead to either a reduction in support hours per person or an increase in costs, to accommodate staff travel time between sites.
And thirdly, there is the prevention of vulnerable Young People potentially becoming homeless as the contracting authority would be securing a pathway for the future.
Note, the contracting authority will now observe a 10-day standstill period, commencing the day after the publication of this Notice.
