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

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

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.

The Home Office are looking to engage with potential suppliers ahead of a potential procurement for a National ANPR Application and Associated Services.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a critical law enforcement capability used to detect, deter, and disrupt criminality at a local, regional, and national level, including Organised Crime Groups, people traffickers, serious sexual offenders, and terrorists. ANPR is also used to protect vulnerable people from harm.
ANPR enables police forces throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and other approved Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) to identify those who are using the roads for criminal purposes, whilst protecting the privacy, the rights and the safety of those who use our roads legitimately.
The current national ANPR service is a live time alarming system with a query, search, report production and data preservation capability    as well as national store of data.  It brings together a stream of live ANPR camera data more than 80 million reads a day from England, Wales and Scotland Police forces. This data set is comprised of Vehicle Registration Numbers and associated number plate and vehicle overview images.
The potential application supplier will be required to provide the following:
•	National ANPR Application and Service, consisting of operational components including (but not limited to):
•	Live time alerting and control room alert deployment functionality
•	Search Capability
•	Report Production and Export
•	Data Preservation
•	Audit Capability
•	Links to external systems and implementation
•	Support and System integration services (exact scope to be confirmed)
This early market engagement event on the 17th January 2pm-4pm will provide potential suppliers with further information about the National ANPR Service, the application procurement, and will give potential suppliers a chance to provide feedback on the proposals and approach, as well as providing an opportunity for Q&A.
After the event, interested suppliers will also have the opportunity to book on to 121 sessions with the Home Office to demonstrate relevant potential solutions and discuss these and the potential procurement in more detail. These sessions will take place WC 10th February 2025 and will be approximately 1 hr in length.
This event is a relevant for tech suppliers with suitable ANPR application products and services to meet the challenge of a high volume, high demand national capability.
Please note that as some of the information disclosed at the event is formative and not available in the public domain, all attendees will need to sign the attached Non-Disclosure Agreement and return it to NASCommercial@homeoffice.gov.uk by the 16th January 2025 at 12:00 PM.

The Museum is the recipient of a grant from the Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Heritage Science (RICHeS) programme awarded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The grant will enable the creation of an X-ray Imaging Centre at the Museum accessible to researchers from the UK and across the globe. The Centre will build on the X-ray imaging facilities already available at the Museum by funding the purchase of a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) instrument, which is the subject of this procurement. The micro-CT scanner will offer significantly higher resolution than the existing setup, whilst being versatile in the size, shape and materials it will be able to scan. This will allow it to cover the wide range of material in the Museum collection and those from collaborators under the RICHeS programme.
The Museum wishes to procure the instrument, and all necessary supporting equipment and software, as set out in greater detail below in the specification. The procurement will also include delivery and installation of the instrument in the Museum’s X-ray laboratory suite in its World Conservation and Exhibition Centre (WCEC) at its main site in Bloomsbury, London. The supplier will conduct all necessary post installation tests of functionality and provide training to the RICHeS staff on use of the instrument. Post warranty maintenance services will also be provided as part of the contract.
The grant provides a budget of £710,000 (excluding VAT) for the purchase of the instrument, supporting computing hardware and software, delivery, installation, training and for a maintenance and service contract to last 5 years post installation.
Further details relating to the specification of the instrument are available in the procurement documents. Additional information: To respond to this opportunity please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/Q9NHBAP369

The Council has launched a new Living Well Rutland Service that combines its library, health, wellbeing, and adult learning services into one. The Family Hub, which is part of Living Well Rutland, provides high quality play and learning sessions for children from vulnerable Rutland families alongside a programme of parenting support for adults.
As the Council develops its Living Well Rutland offer, the family hub element will provide a more focussed offer for families identified as needing extra support. This requires an understanding of their needs, how to engage them and flexibility in the delivery of services.
Family hubs hold relationships at the heart of service delivery. The ability to listen well and listen carefully to families, be curious about a child’s life within a family and understand the ‘world’ of not only the child but the parent too is essential. This will generate the greatest positive impact. If we can understand, we can support effectively and in a timely fashion. To do this we need consistency of delivery, quality, and staff. Children and their families need the opportunity to build trusted relationships to talk about support they may need.
Rutland County Council (the Council) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise, with the aim of providing information to and requesting feedback from the market, on its proposed model for delivery of Family Hub Services.

procurementMethodRationale:
The Air Commodities Delivery Team (ACDT) within Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), part of the UK Ministry of Defence, (“the Authority”)  intends to place a Single Source Contract with Marlborough Communications Limited for the In Service Support for the Provision of Repair and Post Design Services (PDS) to Elmer Radio and AD120 Avionic Communication Equipment for an initial 3 year term with an Option to extend by a further 24 months in 12 month increments. The value for the contract is estimated at £4.7m over the maximum 5 years.
  Due to the Authority receiving only two PQQ responses with only one response meeting the minimum criteria the Authority has a failed competition and competitive procurement under the accelerated restricted procedure is no longer possible. Therefore a Single Source procurement in line with Regulation 16(1)(f) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations (DSPCR) 2011 is the only feasible option to meet the requirement to provide continued support to the Elmer Radio and AD120 Avionic Comms equipment.

Multi-lot Procurement for the supply of
- Diagnostics
UKCA/CE Marked and MHRA approved Diagnostics equipment, consumables and maintenance supplies and related services

- Research and Development
Equipment, maintenance, consumables, products and services for the purpose of research, experimentation, study or development. Additional information: UK Health Security Agency as the contracting authority is putting in place an open framework for diagnostics and research equipment, consumables and related services.
This framework will be used to support UKHSA core functions across its diagnostics and research activities. For more information see UKHSA 10 year science strategy - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukhsa-science-strategy-2023-to-2033-securing-health-and-prosperity

The framework is intended to be accessed by UK Public Sector bodies including UKHSA, the Department of Health and Social Care, Public Health Wales, Public Health Scotland, NHS Authorities and Trusts, Special Health Authorities, Local Authorities and any other NHS entity or successor body. (A complete list of NHS Authorities and Trusts and special health authorities can be found here: NHS England » NHS provider directory). The framework can also be accessed by academic and charitable institutions.
The framework value range is an estimate only and the values may vary dependent on the requirements of UKHSA and the other authorities who may choose to participate and purchase supplies and services over the life of the framework agreement. The framework value range of £5,000,000,000 GBP is an approximate estimate only.
The actual values will be to such level as those purchasing under the Open Framework consider necessary to provide suitable requirements. UKHSA works with DHSC and the NHS in its role as a national and international emergency responder to current and emerging threats to public health. As demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the exact nature, timing and escalation of such threats (and the corresponding required responses) can be difficult to foresee, making any exercise in future value estimation unpredictable.
The date listed as the “estimated date of publication of contract notice” is the date that UKHSA believes it will be able to start the tendering process. This date may be subject to change following feedback from suppliers regarding when they believe the market is in a position for a tender to submit tenders.
UKHSA welcomes expressions of interest from SMEs and niche suppliers.
All interested suppliers are required to register on the UKHSA eTendering Portal. All communications from suppliers must be sent through this platform. All information on future engagement events will be provided through this portal.
https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome
Additionally, following the commencement of the Procurement Act 2023, all suppliers shall need to join the Central Digital Platform. The anticipated onboarding process shall begin from late January 2025.

Delt Shared Services Ltd, are procuring this service for North Somerset Council, who are providing IT services for the West of England Combined Authority. Delt intends to award a contract for the provision of a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for the stated parties. This procurement is necessitated by the withdrawal of support for the West of England Combined Authority’s current on-premises ERP system. The new solution will encompass core functionalities including Human Resources, Payroll, Procure to Pay, Income Management, and the General Ledger, primarily for use by the West of England Combined Authority.
The proposed contract is for a period of 3 years with an option to extend annually for up to two years (1+1). The total value of the proposed contract is £351,246.28
The award of the contract is permitted under Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (the PCR 2015). Regulation 32 of the PCR 2015 allows contracting authorities to award a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(c) permits the award of a public contract for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with.
It is considered that due to Unit4’s unforeseeable decision on 17 October 2023 to remove support for the West of England Combined Authority’s on-premises solution from 31 December 2024, the council does not have sufficient time to conduct market tests, complete a full procurement exercise and implement a new solution before 31 December 2024. The award of a contract pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(c) is therefore strictly necessary, for reasons of extreme urgency, to ensure business continuity for the Council. Further details are set out in Section IV below.

procurementMethodRationale:
It is considered that the award of the contract is permitted under Regulation 32(2)(c) of the PCR 2015. Regulation 32 of the PCR 2015 allows contracting authorities to award a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(c) permits the award of a public contract for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. Considering that its reliance on Regulation 32(2)(c) is justified for the following reasons:
The West of England Combined Authority has a perpetual licence for the Unit4 Agresso Enterprise Resource and Planning Solution and receives annual maintenance and support from Unit4 Business Software Limited (Unit4). The data is stored on the Council's Azure infrastructure, which is an on-premises model.
On 17 October 2023 Unit4 announced that it would no longer provide maintenance and support services for perpetual licences or any on premises solutions post 31 December 2024, meaning that the West of England Combined Authority would have to migrate the existing solution to Unit4's own cloud services and adopt a subscription-based licence model.
The ERP solution is an essential and integral part of the West of England Combined Authority’s financial systems. Unit4's announcement that it would cease to provide maintenance and support services or any on premises solutions post 31 December 2024 was not foreseeable by the West of England Combined Authority and has given rise to a situation of extreme urgency they must ensure that its ERP systems do not become unsupported post 31 December 2024.
It is the position that the time period provided by Unit4 before the ERP system becomes unsupported is insufficient to permit the West of England Combined Authority to undertake the intricate process of compiling detailed business requirements for a new solution, perform an exhaustive market analysis, execute a comprehensive open procurement exercise, and deploy a new ERP system prior to 31 December 2024. The decision to award a contract pursuant to Unit4 pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(c) is therefore considered to be strictly necessary in a situation of extreme urgency, to ensure business continuity for the Council. This approach will also provide the necessary time to evaluate all potential options and ensure that any future procurement decisions align with the West of England Combined Authority’s best interests and value for money obligations.

NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission Talking Therapies Services (previously known as Improving Access to Psychological Therapy IAPT Services). A summary of the purposes and objectives of the services are:-
•	Increased risk of escalation of needs and crisis presentation, in particular as post Covid we've seen a significant increase in acuity and risk. Anticipated impact to secondary care mental health is an additional 2 referrals to CMHRS/Single point of access per week.
•	Increased waiting times by 3-4 weeks further (longer f2f)
•	Lack of physical locations to support people locally with a significant reduction in capacity to see people face to face rather than virtually. Leaving people who want/are only able to receive support in person now waiting up to 18 weeks for an appointment.
•	Significant impact on a wide range of stakeholder in particular primary care who will experience an increase in GP appointments for people on waiting lists- anticipated to be an additional 2 GP appointments per week.
•	Reduction in support and ability to work in an integrated approach with our acute hospitals and PCN's for people with Long Term Conditions. Immediate impact would be pulling out of work with hypertension prevention team, cardiac team and at least one of the PCN LTP training courses. Resulting in impact on previously documented system efficiencies seen after Talk Plus intervention (totally £2m from ED,OP and IP stays over 3 year period)
•	Widening of the inequalities gap around mental health. Significant impact and lack of access for people with digital and transport poverty, older adults.
The Commissioner is directly awarding a contract to the existing provider NHUC - Talk Plus in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (9) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The total value of the contract is £4,175,463 for the initial one year contract term. The one year period will commence on the 01st April 2025.
This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.

NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission Talking Therapies Services (previously known as Improving Access to Psychological Therapy IAPT Services).
It is estimated that nationally around 17.7% of adults aged 18 and older meet the diagnostic criteria for at least one common mental health disorder and are targeted to enter the Talking Therapies Services.
Reducing the prevalence of common mental health disorders is a major public health concern. In 2007 the annual cost to treat depression and anxiety disorders in England was nearly £3 billion, with an additional economic impact of around £13 billion in lost earnings among people of working age.
The Talking Therapies Service is based on a stepped model of care offering a range of psychological treatments for patients with mild, mild to moderate, moderate to severe and complex mental health problems. Talk Plus delivers this service across NEHF and has maintained consistently high standards in terms of outcomes quality and wider system impact.
The Commissioner is intending to direct award a contract, under Direct Award C, to the existing provider NHUC - Talk Plus in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (9) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The total value of the contract is £4,175,463 for the one year contract term. The one year period will commence on the 01st April 2025.
