Original contract awarded for £164k, however, during the initial term, additional services were purchased in line with the permitted modifications under the contract - total spend years one to five £181k. This VEAT notice is to inform the market that we are using the extension permitted within the contract, up to a total of five years.

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale: The current contract with the Supplier supports an extension. Due to the additional services added to the contract during the initial term, in taking the extension the total value of the contract will be above threshold and the original contract was procured via a below threshold tender process. The Council requires ongoing use of the system for the full term of the contract as use is now embedded across the Council. Introducing a new system would have significant financial and resource implications for the Council and could result in a detrimental impact on the Council's ability to effectively manage health and safety across the organisation. The Council will be retendering the system at the end of the full term of the contract and will be able to implement any new arrangements in a properly planned and co-ordinated manner.

description:
Derbyshire Dales District Council has awarded the following contracts for the disposal of organic waste collected by Serco Limited, the Councils waste and recycling collection provider:
1) Severn Trent Green Power Ltd for the disposal and processing of 100% of the Councils domestic food waste, approx. 2600 tonnes (1300 tonnes per annum) at their Seven Trent Green Power site in Derby to be processed using Anaerobic Digestion (AD) to produce renewable energy and a nutrient rich fertiliser.
2) Biffa Waste Services Limited for the disposal and processing of approximately 25% of the Council's domestic garden waste, approx. 4500 tonnes (2250 tonnes per annum) at their composting site in Etwall, South Derbyshire, to be processed using In Vessel Composting (IVC) to create compost and soil improvers.
The contracts will be for a term of 2 years from 1st March 2024 until 31st March 2026.

description: Refuse and waste related services

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
Derbyshire County Council (DCC) is the Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) for the county with responsibility for deciding the disposal of waste collected by Derbyshire's eight Districts and Boroughs in their capacity as Waste Collection Authorities (WCA).
DCC currently use In Vessel Composting (IVC) to process organic waste material. The primary advantage of IVC is its ability to accept and treat a comingled feedstock.
Recent changes to legislation require all WCAs to provide a free and weekly collection of food waste from the kerbside. Whilst not introducing a strict prohibition on the comingling of food and garden waste, the requirement for collections to be weekly, all year round and free means continuing to comingle both streams would incur significant additional cost for which no new burdens funding would be available.
Alternative techniques (anaerobic digestion of food waste and open windrow for garden waste) may offer significant improvements in terms of operating costs and environmental performance however a comprehensive cost benefit analysis is required prior to DCC reaching a final determination.
To allow DCC time, for such an assessment to be conducted and for the subsequent procurement and contract mobilisation to take place, Derbyshire Dales District Council needs an interim contract arrangement from 1st March 2024, until 31st March 2026 to enable continuation of organic waste disposal services.
Letting contracts of this type for shorter contract periods significantly reduces the attractiveness of the contract to the market. A contract term of one or two years makes it very difficult for prospective bidders to recoup their bid and contract mobilisation costs, which can be significant.
There is a limited number of organic waste disposal and processing locations within or near the Derbyshire Dales District border that allow the council to dispose of its organic waste and meet the terms agreed on its waste and recycling collection contract without significant additional costs.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the Council's long-term requirements and the need for a short-term solution to maintain current services, competition is absent. Where competition for public service contracts is absent for technical reasons, contracting authorities may use a negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

title: Towards Predicting the Biodiversity Impacts of Environmental Change

description: JNCC is seeking research partners to help develop a modelling framework for predicting the impact on biodiversity from changes to the environment over the next 25-50 years across the whole of the UK. This framework must identify and be responsive to critical drivers of biodiversity change, including climate, society, land use and land management. The framework must allow for different scenarios to be developed and run to assess how different societal and policy choices could affect biodiversity. The framework should be designed to model a range of different biodiversity measures including measures of both species and habitat outcomes to provide a holistic view of biodiversity change. Development of this modelling framework is likely to be a long-term endeavour. During the course of this contractual period, both the initial development and longer term planning

description: UNITED KINGDOM

description: In November 2022, JNCC and the Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies published a joint statement on Nature Recovery. This set out the need to embed nature recovery in UK decision-making and to deliver impactful policies that incentivise and drive public and private investment in the protection and recovery of the UK’s nature through all our activities. As envisaged in that statement, the global community has now committed to the ambitious Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. In May 2023, JNCC published a new strategy: Together for Nature (https://jncc.gov.uk/about-jncc/our-strategy); this further set out the need to advise on the design of new policies and actions to progress nature recovery. However, despite a strong evidence base on biodiversity in the UK, we currently lack the technical capability to use this evidence to model the impact of potential environmental, societal and policy trajectories on biodiversity.

Scottish Government and NHS Scotland are exploring options for a single national IPC eSurveillance solution that will ensure consistent application across all of NHS Scotland.  This will replace the existing disparate systems across Health Boards and action the recommendation set out in the Infection Prevention Workforce Strategic Plan – 2022 to 2024  ‘To progress the work for a national eSurveillance system for Scotland, with the support of local and national stakeholders’.
The Infection Prevention Workforce: Strategic Plan for 2022 to 2024 was published in 2022. This Workforce Plan aims to build capability of Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS), Health Protection (HP) (with relevance to IPC) and IPC workforce in all health and care settings, to enable recovery and development, reflecting on the need for planning post pandemic across all health and care and as part of the wider system infection management needs. The eResources Subgroup review found that NHS Scotland would benefit from a single IPC eSurveillance solution both at local and national level. To ensure the implementation of a single solution the Workforce Plan includes the recommendation ‘to progress the work for a national eSurveillance solution for Scotland, with the support of local and national stakeholders’.
A national solution will enable a common approach to IPC management. The solution will include having up-to-date information available at the point of care, irrespective of care provider or care setting. It will include reporting and management at a national level which will inform and support effective decision making, and prioritisation of future policy requirements.
Information and digital systems (eSurveillance) have already positively supported the management of IPC in Scotland.  This was extremely important during the COVID-19 pandemic. The information can also be used by National Boards to support local management of these situations.
However, boards are not consistent in their approach which brings challenges to the implementation of a national ‘whole system’ approach. Currently nine boards have different versions of a single digital system and therefore there is no standardisation or national approach to surveillance and reporting.  The remaining boards have bespoke systems including web-based systems and excel spreadsheets.
Issues presented by current Status include:
- There is a recognised lack of interoperability and integration for IPC systems with other electronic information systems across health and care.  This impacts on the ability to share information and IPC alerts across boards and the care sector.
- Current systems do not allow for boards to report outbreaks and incidents centrally in a standardised and efficient way.  This impacts on the ability of organisations including PHS to make timely decisions and monitor trends.
- During COVID-19, the existing systems did not support effective and timely national decision making.
The solution’s functionality is essential for providing IPC services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and must have an extremely high degree of resilience in order to minimise any periods of scheduled or unscheduled downtime. Vendors of future solutions should note that this resilience should include but not be limited to Failover and Disaster Recovery of the system with limited technical intervention.
This soft market test is being conducted to determine what solutions may be available, determine the scope of any future procurement to enable the delivery of a national solution, and to ascertain indicative costs. Additional information: A questionnaire has been attached to this notice. Please complete and respond as per the instructions in the document. This is a market testing exercise which will allow the Authority to consider future options in this area.

APHA also requires the provision of unique wild bird carcase/sample identification numbers which will be held on a Central Spreadsheet.

Collection of specified small mammalian carcases will also be required, particularly if mortalities are linked epidemiologically to an AI outbreak in wild birds.

The Contractor will be required to have a network of personnel to act as Collectors across mainland Great Britain (GB) to ensure maximum efficiency in the Contractor’s timely ability to collect carcases upon request from the Authority. As a minimum this shall mean that the Contractor can collect and deliver any carcase across mainland GB within forty-eight (48) hours of the Authority’s request (i.e., for a Collector to travel from their point of origin to the location of the carcase(s) and then either to an APHAVIC or SRUCDSC, and/or a return journey).

While this Contract primarily covers collections from mainland GB, Services from GB islands (excluding Crown Dependencies) may be requested. If this situation occurs the Contractor would be expected to provide a quotation and estimated timescale or the collection. The APHA Veterinary Lead in Avian Virology would then advise if the collection should go ahead.

Introduction to Seascapes Programme:

To support marine biodiversity through protected area networks, Defra is designing a Seascapes Programme (expected to be up to £50m) to support the effective implementation, management and enforcement of transboundary Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECM) networks, or 'Seascapes'. Well managed Seascapes bring specific ecological benefits such as the survival of migratory species and strengthening ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. The programme aims to deliver outcomes through five pathways:

1. Biodiversity and MPA management
2. Incursion monitoring and enforcement
3. Institutional governance
4. Livelihoods and communities
5. Sustainable financing

The first Seascape will be in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, supporting CMAR. The CMAR initiative is a collaboration between Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama focused on the conservation and sustainable use of resources in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor. In 2021 the four countries agreed to expand and connect their MPAs to establish a transboundary MPA network that created migratory swimways for key marine species. The UK has provided some initial support to the region and seeks to build on this through its Seascapes Programme. Additional information: Registration link: https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/UCQKdycCYkyQx044U38RAg,0JIdO-FrxUW1YEKzXihbfQ,bMRbicryNkifID4EpSWchQ,_hD0eNfrYEyc6Or57_Y6dQ,yGFAY62MfkGrcG2xBrGPgA,crU6vYv4F06YJlgh8-3ADA?mode=read&tenantId=770a2450-0227-4c62-90c7-4e38537f1102

name: Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust

description:
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust Forward Thinking Birmingham are looking to develop a multi-agency collaborative to provide short stay environments for individuals experiencing an acute mental health crisis, aged 18+.
Such a facility would provide a viable recovery-based resource for those who may be escalating toward a psychiatric inpatient admission and for those who may be considered for a step-down provision from an acute inpatient bed. It is intended to support those who would benefit from brief biopsychosocial interventions during short term crisis. The crisis would be viewed as “the moment when the typical activities of the service user’s day break down”.
Access to the Recovery House facility will be managed through a number of clinical referral routes. Whilst not excluding any individual meeting the above criteria, users of the service will need to be fully compliant with the behavioural expectations of the Recovery House and have a clear understanding that non-compliance with such agreement will lead to termination of stay.
Commissioners are seeking an organisation that can either;
1.	Provide the accommodation only
2.	Provide accommodation and a shared staffing model
3.	Provide accommodation and all staff
It is suggested the Recovery House would provide a maximum total of 14 beds, preferably comprising 8 mixed and 6 female only with a maximum financial envelope of circa £794,189 (for option 2) and £1,080,433 (for option 3); to include flexibility for on-going transformational development, vision and potentials for invest to save.
Users of the service can have several strictly time limited admissions throughout the year to support crisis, prevent escalation and hospital admission avoidance.
The Recovery House will be a 24 hours service and needs to be accessible 7 days a week. The facility must provide a safe environment and support in which service users will receive immediate assistance in identifying the nature of the crisis and how this may be addressed. This will be achieved by using a model of co-production, solution focused and other brief interventions. The expected duration of a service users stay will be 7 nights.

Liverpool Early Help Services provide support to families with emerging needs. We have identified that there is a need to reduce the numbers of children and young people who enter care in Liverpool. The successful service provider will work with parents who have identified mental health needs to improve their wellbeing which will allow them to parent effectively. Improvements in parenting will prevent children entering care.
The intention is to re-commission a therapeutic service to follow on from the pilot programme awarded in February 2023 (DN641238).
The successful Provider will work with 16 families selected from Social Care, who have children who are at high risk of becoming looked after. The families are likely to be on Child Protection plans and not showing evidence of change or be in pre proceedings with a trajectory towards court proceedings, which will be seeking to remove the children from the care of their parents.
The psychological service will be commissioned to provide mental health well-being practitioners and clinical psychologists. The mental health professionals will work alongside Outreach Family Support Workers and other professionals from the Early Help Hubs and provide intensive support which will be underpinned by mentalisation therapy. The approach will seek to reduce risk and need through an intensive therapeutic intervention which will see families move down the continuum of need.

We are planning to restructure our bioresource (sludge) treatment facilities in Kent, consolidating our smaller treatment centres into two larger sites. We are currently processing approximately 42,000 tonnes dry solids (TDS) of raw sludge per year in that region (un-screened, screened, un-thickened, thickened liquid and screened dewatered cake derived from a range of wastewater treatment works) which are treated under conventional digestion followed by either maturation or liming of the treated sludge (Biosolids) for agricultural use. The biogas produced is used in combined heat & power (CHP) engines to generate heat & electricity, both used on site or exported (electricity).
Our strategy involves replacing current assets and expanding capacity to process approximately 46,000 (TDS) of raw sludge. We plan to achieve this through the implementation of new advanced anaerobic digestion (AAD) technology at two proposed sites, namely Ashford and Ham Hill. Additionally, there is potential for the recovery of various resources, including ammonia.
We aim to collaborate with interested parties to jointly develop and implement our strategy. We are exploring a Design, Build, Finance (and potentially Operate & Maintain) model. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is issued by Southern Water to initiate discussions and gain insights into the potential solutions and opportunities identified by potential investors and the broader industry.
For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) is to conduct a market testing exercise only and will not formally begin the procurement nor constitute any commitment by Southern Water to undertake any procurement exercise nor form a commercial strategy in a particular form. Any follow-up discussions and responses to the Request for Information (RFI) are solely for information and planning purposes. Additional information: Additional information can be obtained from our e-sourcing portal:

Southern Water plan on holding a market engagement in the week commencing 26th February 2024, further information will be provided via our e-sourcing portal.
