The Contract Authority; NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract under Direct Award Process B. The authority is publishing this notice in Find a Tender in accordance with the NHS Provider Selection Regime.
The ICB in Leeds is awarding a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for home care for continuing healthcare in Leeds. Any reference to ITT’s or Tenders in the portal also refers to a DPS.
The total annual demand across the city is approximately 680,000 hours.
Demand broken down by postcode can be found on the map within the ATTACHMENTS.
Demand is variable and the numbers shown are indicators of previous use, they are not a guarantee of hours.
The DPS will be open to providers to participate until 12 noon on 31 May 2027 and providers can request to participate at any time. Evaluations of applications will take place at least every quarter.
Participants must be able to provide care to postcodes within the boundaries of NHS Leeds ICB. There are occasions when Leeds CHC funded service users live just outside the boundaries, the map in attachments details the postcode where Leeds CHC funded service users are receiving domiciliary care.
Participation and approval in the DPS does not guarantee activity or income and in the interests of being transparent the number of packages may decrease due to longer term commissioning plans meaning some provisions or postcodes mentioned above are no longer sourced via the DPS.
There will be two routes to care brokered to the DPS approved provider list;
• Block purchasing care hours
• Individual care packages
Block
The request will be sent via secure email to all approved providers with a deadline to respond by. The request will include, as a minimum, the area to be covered, the number of hours and the duration the care hours are required but may also include other stipulations.
Once the deadline has passed the block hours will be awarded to the provider that is ranked first based on a CQC rating score. Where more than one provider has the same score, and tied first in the ranking, the provider to award the block hours to will be decided by who can commence the block hours the soonest and then by who responded the earliest.
Once care packages are allocated under the block arrangement the provider is expected to carry out the care required until notified by the commissioner or a representative of the commissioner. If the care is required beyond the block arrangement, then care is to continue at the hourly rate specified in the block arrangement.
If the provider does not deliver planned care as requested, once the block arrangement is in place, then the value of the block arrangement will be reduced, and the commissioner may terminate the block arrangement with immediate effect.
Individual Care Packages
The Care Coordination Team will upload support plans that require a provider to be sourced, into the brokerage system, SProc.net. The care package will be awarded after 4 hours have elapsed to the provider that is ranked first based on a CQC rating score. Where more than one provider has the same score, and tied first in the ranking, the provider to award the care package to will be decided by who can commence the care package the soonest and then by who responded the earliest.
All packages sourced before the DPS is established will remain with the care providers already in place.
The estimated value of the total demand is £15,000,000 per annum.

Medway Council's head office has been partially closed since October 2023 whilst internal investigations are underway to support a full options appraisal of the RAAC situation. RAAC Consulting Solutions (RCS) was engaged in April 2024 to perform some survey work. As a result of those surveys, the wider remediation may not be as substantial as previously envisaged.
To support this consideration and the final options appraisal, further off-site inspections need to be undertaken on samples of the RAAC. The further inspection, inclusive of the temporary remediation whilst those materials are taken offsite, are protected by RCS's IP.

procurementMethodRationale:
Medway Council's head office (Gun Wharf) was found to have been constructed with RAAC in October 2023. In early 2024 RAAC Consulting Specialists (RCS) was engaged to conduct some intrusive survey work pertaining to the extent of the RAAC, to consider remedial action, and perform some repair work where necessary; this was Phase 1 of the project that has since been completed.
The project has now progressed to Phase 2, which includes further inspection and testing via the removal and testing of RAAC panels, replacement of the RAAC panels removed, the final options appraisal for the remainder of the building, and determination of the wider remediation scheme.
All of these elements are interdependent and RCS will be deploying their own proprietary methods to inspect and propose mitigation solutions.

From this data we wish to ascertain how healthy the industry is over time. We wish to track if experiences were positive and the levels of satisfaction to help identify areas of priority for future funding initiatives. Also for data on events and cultural activities we wish to see expected income back into the economy, expected footfall and linked to occupancy/revenue generation/visitation to link to demonstrate impact/benefit.  Essential aspects must feature the opportunity to compare timeframes year on year, month by month. Market behaviours and preferences. Competitor analysis, and occupancy rates, including average price rates. Media monitoring to check for relevant keywords + hashtags used across all social networks and online, ideally broken down further, by geographic location ie per Town. .Historic data is vital to help us forecast trends and impacts.

A youth-led competition to improve equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in Earth and space science. We have been inspired to develop and deliver a youth-led outreach programme, designed to engage the next generation of climate innovators. We're looking to demonstrate that new mode of citizen science. The initiative will capitalise on the ability of space science to captivate the imagination and the enthusiasm of the next generation to take on climate change.
We anticipate having a single lead organisation that delivers the future climate innovators programme and liaises with existing national rocketry competition(s) for an annual deployment demonstration.
a. The programme would run in secondary schools across the UK, particularly enriched for areas of low participation in higher education.
b. The content will be delivered by university students or early career professionals.
c. For each cohort, the activity will run over a full academic year and expose school students to the science of climate tipping points and why they are important, alongside the remote sensing technologies that are used to monitor them.
d. The activity will culminate in the creation of a sensor system for climate measurement at the end of each academic year.
e. We envisage supporting a national (all parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) competition where all participating schools can come together to launch their sensor systems at a common location (coordinated by an operating partner).

We are pleased to invite you to take part in this Request for Proposal (RFP).
ARIA is an R&D funding agency. We fund teams of scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of what is technologically or scientifically possible. ARIA was established by the UK Government in January 2023 with high levels of autonomy and flexibility.
From climate change to AI and bioengineering, society faces enormous challenges and opportunities that can be uniquely addressed by science and technology. ARIA was created to activate the UK's world-class R&D talent in new ways, so that we can meet these head on.
We are looking for a partner organisation who can deliver a youth-led competition as part of the Forecasting Tipping Points programme. Our discovery process has highlighted systemic barriers that could impede the long-term impact of our programme. Climate change affects everyone, so it is vital that we include people of all backgrounds and encourage the next generation of climate scientists and technologists to engage with our programme.

Tower Hamlets are seeking expressions of interest from suitably skilled and experienced suppliers to deliver the services required by this contract:
•	Primary-school aged children (5-11 years), whether in full time education at a mainstream school or educated other than at school. 4-year-olds attending schools in Reception year will also be eligible for this element
•	11-19 year olds and in full time education at a mainstream school, educated other than at school or not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET), and up to 25 years for young people with SEND or care experience.
5-11 years: The service offer will be similar to the existing school health service, whereby school nurses lead a skill-mix workforce to deliver the Healthy Child Programme. Activities include school-entry health assessments, hearing and vision screening, height- and weight-assessments in Reception and Year 6, support for schools in managing medical conditions and training.
11-19 years: This service offer merges the current school nursing provision for secondary schools with the current ‘Safe East’ provision. The service will be community-based (for example in youth services) with in-reach into secondary schools, providing different ways for young people to access health support: in schools, community settings, and through text messaging and online provision.
This service element will support schools to develop support plans for children with health conditions, health needs assessments for new starters and training; plus health promotion workshops, brief interventions, C-card condom scheme, You’re Welcome accreditation for young people-friendly settings, Tier 2 and some Tier 3 sexual health services, Tier 2 and 3 substance misuse treatment and smoking cessation support. Dedicated support for children in the youth justice service will also continue
The successful provider will enter into contract with Tower Hamlets utilising their standard T&Cs (included in tender pack) for an initial term of 3 years, with a maximum optional extension of 4 years.
Tower Hamlets are following the Open procurement procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts Register 2015.

title: Enabling Community Health Outcomes

description:
Tower Hamlets are seeking expressions of interest from suitably skilled and experienced suppliers to deliver the services required by this contract
This is an innovative element to the contract that has developed from reflections about the determinants of inequalities in deaths, ill-health including trust in institutions that have underpinned health inequalities for many decades, but which were tragically highlighted in the Covid-19 pandemic. It also seeks to enable the type of agile responses that brought partners together in the pandemic to respond quickly and effectively to future health and wellbeing issues.
The enablers of improved outcomes and reduced inequalities include a dedicated focus on system leadership, co-production, evaluation and culturally appropriate communication resulting in an innovative child-centred service that meets local need. This element will also support the service to deliver community benefits which will include work-experience, mentoring and apprenticeships (with a focus on children in care, young people with care experience and older children outside mainstream education)
Engagement work to date has highlighted that these activities are wished for but may be seen as an additional burden on top of day-to-day delivery of services. This element aims to invest in capacity to maximise community benefit and social value and will drive service development in the other elements of the service, to ensure that the whole service continues to evolve in response to community needs. By delineating it as a discrete service element with committed investment, the delivery of providers’ social value pledges at tender stage can be more rigorously assured through contract management processes
The successful provider will enter into contract with Tower Hamlets utilising their standard T&Cs (included in tender pack) for an initial term of 3 years, with a maximum optional extension of 4 years.
Tower Hamlets are following the Open procurement procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts Register 2015.

title: Joint Service Provision

description:
Tower Hamlets are seeking expressions of interest from suitably skilled and experienced suppliers to deliver the services required by this contract

Therefore, a third Lot (for the provision of both service areas by one provider) has been added to the procurement structure. The services for this are detailed in Lots 1 & 2.
It is anticipated that there may be overheads cost savings should both services be provided by a single provider, however, the Council need confidence that a single specialist provider is capable of delivery quality across both elements.

The trust has determined that whilst some urgent renovation work  to our inpatient mental health estate is undertaken and completed, 5 additional acute mental health beds need to be contracted for a period of 3 months. This will support the trust in being able to admit patients who require an acute mental health bed and will also support with the trust being able to step patients down from our psychiatric intensive care unit to improve flow across our entire bed base.

To ensure that the trust continues to deliver on this ambition set by NHS England, the provider of these 5 beds needs to be within the geographical boundary of Leicestershire and Rutland so that patients remain in their local area and therefore allowing the maintaining of relationships with family, carers and friends.as part of delivering on this ambition. NHS providers and commissioners are required to report the use of non-specialist services acute care via the Mental Health Specialist Data Set (MHSDS).
In identifying a suitable provider, the practice within the trust which has been agreed and established through the trusts Bed Management Standard Operating Procedure states when considering the use of additional beds the trust will only place patients in providers with a latest CQC rating of "Good".

title: Procurement of Target RPAS

description: Targets for shooting practice

procurementMethodRationale:
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), part of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to award a contract to Level Peaks Associates Limited, for supply of a Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) manufactured by Boresight Pty Ltd (Boresight) to be used to support testing of the UK's Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capability. The contract will include the supply of programming software, batteries, battery chargers and training. The contract will be for 3 months and have an estimated value of £203,172.07.
In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the 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 Contracts Regulations 2015 for technical reasons.
This is because Boresight has confirmed that Level Peaks is the exclusive UK distributer of its RPAS. This RPAS is the only system considered to satisfy MoD's technical requirements relating to programmability (to be able to detect, react to and evade C-UAS frequency jamming activity) and to currently conform to Civil Aviation Authority and Military Airworthiness Authority standards, such that it is able to meet MoD's timescales for capability testing, scheduled for Autumn of this year.

North Lanarkshire Council is looking to transform Cumbernauld by regenerating its town centre from a sterile transport corridor to a place where people can move freely, thereby integrating and connecting the developments on either side of Central Way to form a traditional high street for the first time in the town’s development.
To kick start this transformational change, the Council has acquired the two adjoined shopping centres occupying an extensive site in the middle of Cumbernauld town centre - ‘The Centre Cumbernauld and Cumbernauld Shopping Centre’ (known as ‘The Centre Cumbernauld’ (TCC)).
Following the acquisition of TCC in June 2023, there was a requirement to have the facility managed and operated as efficiently as possible to maximise revenue and reduce overhead costs until existing leaseholds expire or can be ended, and vacant possession achieved prior to planned complete or phased demolition of the building.
Upon acquisition of TCC, the Council novated two historic management contracts from the previous owner on a short-term basis up to 12 months to enable a smooth operating transition and to minimise disruption to existing tenants. These contracts are regarded as the “Asset Manager” and “Property Manager”. These 12-month contracts have been reprocured for a period of 12 months, with an extension period of 3 months, to allow for the procurement of longer term management solution.

reviewDetails: An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Cours or the Court of Session.

procurementMethodRationale: The services required are currently provided within Cumbernauld Town Centre by a private organisations to the Council. Following acquisition of Cumbernauld Town Centre, the Council felt at the time that it would be in a position to procure a longer term arrangement by the time the existing arrangement concludes on 30 June 2024. However, given the uniqueness of the services required, the amount of time and learning required to fully understand the service provision (amongst other operation issues) was underestimated and as a result the Council has not been able to procure a longer term arrangement.

title: Vivid 2025 Transformation Programme

reviewDetails: The Contracting Authority will conduct itself in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

description: IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support

procurementMethodRationale:
This VTN gives notice that VIVID is entering into a contract with TechLabs for the provision of IT services to deploy a Housing Management and CRM Solution for Phase 2 of VIVID's 2025 Transformation Programme (the "Contract"). The estimated value of the Contract is £2,300,000. A procurement procedure is not required on the basis that the award of the Contract is permitted under the negotiated procedure without prior publication (regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) on the basis the Contract can only be performed by TechLabs as competition is absent for technical reasons.
TechLabs has specific know-how and intellectual property of its iProperty Cloud Solution that is relevant and essential to the effective delivery of Phase 2 (i.e. it has know-how and product knowledge of the services provided under Phase 1 of the Transformation Programme which is essential for the delivery of the services to be provided under Phase 2, 1 which mean is it the only economic operator capable of delivering the Contract using the iProperty Cloud Solution).
VIVID has considered alternative options, and does not consider that there is a provider who is able to deliver Phase 2 in a way that is compatible with the solution provided under Phase 1.
Of note, the services delivered under the Contract for Phase 2 are required to be compatible with the solutions already provided under Phase 1 of the Transformation Programme, and, in light of the above, there are interoperability requirements that can only be met by TechLabs. Additionally, as the Programme moves forward, it is essential for VIVID to ensure that we have appointed a service provider with specific knowledge of the Programme, the iProperty Cloud Solution and the operational requirements delivered under Phase 1. TechLabs' previous involvement under Phase 1 means that it has unique knowledge about the Programme and the operational requirements of Phase 1 which are essential for the successful delivery of Phase 2.

procurementMethodRationale:
NGN have a contract with Brand Communications, which expires on the 31st of August 2024.
Apollo Solution services are used on all NGN laptops, tablets System Control desktops and Offtake Site Comms PCs, to enable secure remote access to NGN's IT systems. This enables widescale home-working and supports secure day to day operations for NGN's field force and system control to access NGN services to conduct their work duties.Brand provide us capabilities within its services to overcome some critical restrictions within our AWS design architecture that Amazon natively does not support from an network routing prospective. We cannot overcome this challenge without re-architecting our AWS landscape. With Brand technologies we have been able to circumvent these restrictions with their expert Layer 2 Network skills and experience. Bridging our VPC landscapes would not have been feasible without Brand technologies whilst ensuring security principles were maintained throughout the solution implemented.This is also extended into our Operational landscape where utilising the Brand Communication services, we are able to drastically improve our CNI network coverage, performance, monitoring and security of telemetry and gas day quality data flows from our critical offtake sites.
This software is a critical part of our IT infrastructure and would be a multi-million pound investment to replace, procure and swap out all devices if Brand was replaced. Therefore there is a need to renew the contract to save NGN time and money that has been spent on building our current infrastructure to replace this with a new solution.

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Currently the infrastructure is run by Brand and requires replacing and upgrading.
Upgrading the Brand infrastructure and client VPN from v2 onto v3 will enable us to simplify aspects of the architecture and remove the identified single points of failures. The infrastructure will be completely segregated from the back-office services, whilst the new v3 service will enhance security across the board and enable future work planned in the roadmap. There is no other supplier capable of delivering this service due to the technicalities involved.
This software is a critical part of our IT infrastructure and would be a multi-million pound investment to replace, procure and swap out all devices if Brand was replaced. Therefore there is a need to vary the contract to save NGN time and money that has been spent on building our current infrastructure to replace this with a new solution.

description:
Currently the infrastructure is running on EoSL OS and requires replacing. There is also a dependency on the back-office services to support authentication for System Control staff to access the  network on their workstations, highlighting a single point of failure with the architecture. Finaly, the infrastructure is over complex, and the HA is active/passive, needing infrastructure support to manually intervene and failover servers to restore BAU services.
Upgrading the Brand infrastructure and client VPN from v2 onto v3 will enable us to simplify aspects of the architecture and remove the identified single points of failures. The infrastructure will be completely segregated from the back-office services, whilst the new v3 service will enhance security across the board and enable future work planned in the roadmap.

The High Content Screening Facility at the Institute of Regeneration and Repair is dedicated to cutting-edge research in cellular and regenerative medicine. The facility plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific knowledge and conducting critical experiments in various areas of cell biology and regenerative medicine.
Its flagship spinning-disk confocal microscope, The Opera Phenix Plus, operates at its maximum capacity, running around the clock (including weekends) to accommodate the multitude of experiments and research projects that depend on it. To satisfy this high demand, the facility must limit the duration of most experiments, which does not allow researchers to pursue longer experiments. As our research portfolio continues to expand, it is envisage more projects that will require prolonged observation and data accumulation. Meeting this demand is pivotal in maintaining our facility's capacity to support cutting-edge research and innovation.
