3.0 Automated Passenger Counting Project
Background
The Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS) seeks to "deliver real-time data, information and visualisations for the Tube, rail, buses and streets to improve the communication of overcrowding and congestion information to customers". The Bus Action Plan, formulated in line with the MTS, further commits to "renewing and improving our bus customer information systems and infrastructure, to provide the live arrival, disruption, crowding and congestion information our customers need to feel in control of their journeys".
With accurate and live bus crowding data available from Automated Passenger Counting (APC), we will be able to help:
•
Passengers - empowering our customers to make more informed travel decisions when planning a bus journey and letting them know what to expect prior to boarding.
•
Service Controllers - allowing for more informed decision making by knowing passenger loading (bus occupancy) for each vehicle in service.
•
Traffic management - enabling traffic light control systems to favour crowded buses.
•
Service Planners - creating access to more accurate passenger flow information; and
•
Drivers - affording them a clearer indication of how crowded a bus is when their immediate view is blocked.
TfL aims to improve provision of data for bus customers on how busy a bus is. A customer needs to know how busy a given bus of interest is at a given point in time.
•
"Bus of interest" is a specific bus which will be in service on a route and will be approaching or arrived at a stop, i.e. some kind of stop-related context. Whilst the customer is not necessarily concerned with the identity of the bus it must be uniquely identifiable (fleet or registration number).
•
"How busy" is an indication of space available (or not available) on a bus and will involve occupancy and capacity.
Proof of Concept trials
The section below outlines proof of concept trials TfL has completed up to this stage to gather information on APC technologies.
In 2017/18 TfL conducted a market sounding exercise on the passenger counting technologies available in the market:
•
Footfall cameras
•
CCTV analytics
•
Sensors over each set of doors
•
Telematics
6
•
Historical travel data held in TfL's data warehouse
•
Wi-Fi detection
Phase I of the trial was a three-month testing period on a number of buses fitted with one of the technologies outlined above. The report recommended that footfall cameras, sensors and telematics be considered for Phase 2. It noted that the reported low accuracy of CCTV analytics was contrary to market intelligence and suggested that further work be done to improve the performance of the technology involved.
TfL launched a more targeted market engagement in 2019 to examine in more detail the options for CCTV analytics as a passenger counting solution. A subsequent Request for Proposals from software and hardware partners returned a set of submissions for evaluation in September 2020. Unfortunately, the altered landscape that emerged during the coronavirus pandemic prevented that initiative from continuing. In 2022 the Bus Automated Passenger Counting project was relaunched as part of the Bus Customer Action Plan programme.
In 2022/23 trials were initiated to further explore CCTV analytics and stereoscopic sensors to gain insight on performance of the technologies in more recent times. Some of the challenges facing CCTV analytics were as follows:
•
The absence of continuous parallel feeds from cameras covering each door effectively prevented passenger counting using CCTV analytics from being possible without a software update to enable to RTP feeds.
•
The inclusion of bus stop level data would be required to get an accurate view of boarders and alighters at stops.
•
To identify wheelchairs; further development work is potentially needed to distinguish between wheelchair-like items (i.e. wheelchairs, buggies and other items with wheels).
Expectations
This section sets out TfL's expectations and aspirations for an automated passenger counting (APC) solution. At this stage TfL is seeking to understand the capabilities of the solutions available.
TfL are looking for a solution that could generate readings on six parameters below in real-time:
1.
Number of passengers boarding at a stop
2.
Number of passengers alighting at a stop
3.
Number of passengers on the bus (occupancy on departure of the bus from that bus stop) (likely derived from points 1 and 2)
4.
Loading (the total occupancy as a percentage of capacity)
5.
Occupancy of wheelchair area (occupied/available)
6.
Type of occupant in the wheelchair area:
oWheelchair space available (no occupancy/people standing)
o Wheelchair space occupied by wheelchair Additional information: Prior Information Notice (PIN) Published 28th March 2024

title: Tfl_scp_2473 Automated Passenger Counting Trial

description:
Bus Crowding information for TfL passengers isn't currently aligned with our vision of where we want to be. The primary objective of this project is to generate and make live bus crowding data available to bus passengers for better decision making and empower them to feel 'in control' of their journeys.
With accurate and live bus crowding data available from Automated Passenger Counting (APC), we will be able to help:
•	Passengers - empowering our customers to make more informed travel decisions when planning a bus journey and letting them know what to expect prior to boarding.
•	Service Controllers - allowing for more informed decision making by knowing passenger loading (bus occupancy) for each vehicle in service.
•	Traffic management - enabling traffic light control systems to favour crowded buses.
•	Service Planners - creating access to more accurate passenger flow information; and
•	Drivers - affording them a clearer indication of how crowded a bus is when their immediate view is blocked.
Description of the desired solution
We are looking for a solution that can generate readings on all the 6 parameters below in real-time which form the complete scope of the project:
1.	Number of passengers boarding at a stop
2.	Number of passengers alighting at a stop
3.	Number of passengers on the bus (occupancy on departure of the bus from that bus stop) (derived from points 1 and 2)
4.	Loading (the total occupancy as a percentage of capacity).
5.	Occupancy of wheelchair area (occupied/available)
6.	Type of occupant in the wheelchair area:
•	Wheelchair space available (no occupancy/people standing)
•	Wheelchair space occupied by wheelchair
•	Wheelchair space occupied by others (buggies/ pram/ trolleys/ any other object)
LBSL are currently agnostic to the technologies that can provide us the optimum APC solution and are keen to understand the scope of potential solutions in the market.
The Early Market Engagement will seek views on a number of aspects including supplier and service provider appetite, capacity and capability, as well as well as gauging the general level of interest in this opportunity.
Based on the responses we gather from the PIN, we will be calling the interested suppliers to 1:1 meetings, between 13th - 23rd May 2024 (exact date will be communicated later). We would appreciate if potential suppliers could present a brief presentation about their solution (including relevant videos, dashboards, demo whichever applies) followed by a Q&A session.
Following this market engagement process, TfL may invite selected suppliers to produce a trial to determine the viability of the solution and test if it fulfils our requirements. Details on the specifics of the trial will be shared with the suppliers later.
To express an interest for this contract, interested bidders must confirm by email to: DeepaHalai@tfl.gov.uk  by 18:00, 2nd  May 2024.
You must provide:
•	your single point of contact first name and surname

description:
The purpose of this PIN is to alert potential bidders to an opportunity in respect of services likely to be procured.
Oxfordshire County Council intends to procure a supplier of 5G Networks and associated services on behalf of the England’s Connected Heartland partners and to establish a Framework through which Call-Offs can be made for specific business needs. The supplier will provide the survey, design, implementation and operation of a hybrid 5G and advanced wireless network and the delivery of use cases on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus.
The planned procurement will cover the following activities:
•	survey, design, construction, installation and testing of the private 5G networks
•	solutions to address the core identified use cases, associated benefits & costs savings
•	integration of the use case technology with the established 5G private network
•	network capacity for growth in data consumption to enable delivery of further use cases through expansion of the scope over time
•	support the campus and its tenants to implement the use cases
•	supplying the necessary hardware, software and devices to support the network and the use cases
•	ongoing maintenance & support
•	participation in regional showcase events and development of playbooks to encourage wider use and adoption
The opportunity will be open to all suitably qualified bidders able to deliver the requirements over the long term, either as single suppliers or as a prime contractor using subcontractors to deliver some of the elements.
The council intends to issue an invitation to tender in April 2024 with a view to awarding a contract in June 2024. In the first calloff contract, the supplier will deliver a 5G Mobile Private Network at the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus by the end of March 2025.
There may be opportunities to expand the scope of services at the campus and/or additional sites during the contract term if further funding becomes available.

name: South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran)

description:
The existing SEStran and Tactran pilots provided journey planning tools that enabled the planning, booking and paying for a variety of  transport services. These tools were ‘powered’ by a shared MaaS platform initially provided by Fuse Mobility, which novated its contract to Ember Technology on 19 February 2024,
SEStran and Tactran have secured additional funding to extend the present contract for a short 6 month extension to 30 September 2024 at which point Transport Scotland should be in a position to  make any decisions on the direction of a national MaaS platform, and whether this could be publicly funded.
Ending the pilot projects before a way forward has been determined for the long term could:
§ Seriously limit the opportunities to take forward the MaaS aspirations. If current MaaS projects stop, there will be a loss of confidence by the public, operators, and partner public sector services.
Conversely, there could also be a lost opportunity to digitally promote new transport initiatives (such as DRT, Mobility Hubs, bike hire schemes and Community Transport etc) via MaaS platforms;
§ Represent a significant loss of investment by all partners in getting this new and exciting technology established; and
§ Whilst MaaS is a growth sector, there are limited MaaS suppliers in Scotland. The lack of a continuous plan for establishing and expanding MaaS will seriously affect the confidence of suppliers to invest in the programme in Scotland. It will also present a reputational risk to those public sector partners involved.
IMPS aims to share the learnings from the Transport Scotland MIF projects, help public sector organisations understand how MaaS could help them to achieve their sustainable objectives, and to help MaaS services grow, learn and develop. We will do this by having open access to an IMPS website, offer advice on design and implementation of a MaaS app, offer the use of the existing apps, and also offer a new ‘grey label’ app via a financial contribution from the third party.
Tactran and Sestran propose to maintain the platform and existing interfaces and continue to make this available to the public until a time when Transport Scotland are able to consider and confirm funding for a new MaaS platform project with the intention that the contract for that project will be fully advertised in a public procurement procedure.

title: SEStran-23/24-Integrated Mobility Platform

description:
The main aims of IMPS are:
· Make it easier for every resident & visitor to the SEStran and Tactran regions to make the most of the
Transport ecosystem.
· To secure a model for long term financial sustainability by 30 September 2024.
· Support Scotland Objectives (MIF objectives but also wider national objectives)
· Make it easier for new transport modes to connect in to the transport ecosystem.
The next phase of the MaaS platform will be made available to potential other public sector partners to allow them to commission further integrations/improvements to the existing apps powered by the platform or develop new ‘grey label’ apps from the same platform – the Integrated Mobility Platform Scotland concept.

procurementMethodRationale:
The purpose of the contract award is to keep the contract running for a further 6 months while discussions are held on the future of the MaaS Project.  That short extension with a value of GBP 23,250 is not a “substantial” change in terms of Reglation 72(1)(e) and (8) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, because none of the following apply to this particular extension/modification:
“(a) the modification renders the contract or the framework agreement materially different in character from the one initially concluded;
(b) the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure, would have—
(i) allowed for the admission of candidates other than those initially selected;
(ii) allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted; or
(iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;
(c) the modification changes the economic balance of the contract or the framework agreement in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the initial contract or framework agreement;
(d) the modification extends the scope of the contract or framework agreement considerably; or
(e) a new contractor replaces one to which the contracting authority had initially awarded the contract or framework in cases other than those provided for in paragraph (1)(d).”

description:
This Notice sets out the contracting authority's award of a works contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.The University of Kent (the "University") has entered into a transaction to secure new student accommodation ("the Transaction"). The University has entered into an Agreement for Lease ("AFL") with Canada Life (the "Fund") and Giles Lane Investments Limited (the "Developer") for the construction of 91 new student rooms (the "Development") on a property known as Landon, Giles Lane ("Landon") which adjoins the University's Canterbury campus.
The AFL contains obligations on the Developer to procure the construction of the Development and obligations on the Fund to grant an occupational lease to the University ("the Underlease") on practical completion of the Development. The Underlease will be a full repairing and insuring, financing lease, with limited rights of assignment by the University, containing an indexing rent with cap and collar. On expiry of the Underlease, subject to payment of all rents and interest to the Fund, the University will have the option to purchase the Headlease from the Fund for one pound (£1) (the Fund will also have the option to require the University to purchase the Headlease for one pound (£1)).
The Transaction comprises a number of other arrangements, including:
• a building contract between the Developer and a building contractor, and the appointments of a professional team by the Developer, with warranties in favour of the University;
• arrangements in respect of the construction and maintenance of a wetland, to satisfy a planning condition for the Development;
• licence arrangements to enable certain other wetland works to be undertaken on the University's campus, to satisfy a planning condition for the Development;
• the grant to the Developer of an option over other land of the University;
• the University received a payment on completion of the Transaction.

description: A Public Works contract under Regulation 32(2) (b) (iii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 for the development of student accommodation at Giles Lane, Canterbury, Kent.

description: Construction work

mainProcurementCategory: works

procurementMethodRationale:
Negotiated Procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as amended).
Explanation:
The University in good faith considers that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice is permitted by Part 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
The University's justification for this view is that, in good faith, it considers that the works to be delivered under the contract can only be provided by a particular economic operator (i.e. the Developer) for the following reason: protection of exclusive rights under Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The University considers that:
•	the University requires new student accommodation urgently to meet its growing student demand and the Development is capable of being delivered in time for the September 2025 intake of students;
•	the University's students demand "on campus" accommodation and Landon is ideally located on a site which adjoins, and can be incorporated into, the University's campus;
•	the Developer holds exclusive rights to acquire Landon under the Option;
•	the Developer's exclusive rights include;
o	the Developer's rights in respect of Landon, pursuant to the Option;
o	the fact that Landon adjoins the University's Canterbury campus;
o	the Developer has secured planning permission for the Development;
o	the Developer owns the intellectual property in the design for which planning permission has been obtained;
o	the Developer has negotiated terms with a third party, to deliver a wetland on third party land, which wetland is required to satisfy a condition in the relevant planning permission;
o	the Developer has negotiated terms with a funder and contractor, such that the Developer will commit (in the AFL) to delivering the Development in time for September 2025;
•	this opportunity for the Development and the Transaction exists solely as a result of those rights;
•	the absence of competition is not a result of artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement by the University;
•	no reasonable alternative or substitute exists for the delivery of so many rooms "on campus" in time for September 2025; and
•	there is no reasonable alternative route to acquire Landon for development without it being a condition under the Transaction for the Developer to be the supplier appointed to undertake any development works.

description:
The Authority intends to commence a single procurement for Synergy Business Process Services (BPS) through a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (under Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
The Synergy BPS is intended to deliver modern and innovative value for money services which maximise positive user experience. The BPS supplier will also be challenged to continuously evolve, improve, and optimise service delivery over the course of the contract.
The Authority has not included the support of the existing SOP platform and the provision of service utilising the SOP within the scope of this procurement. The BPS services which are the subject of this procurement will be delivered utilising the Synergy Technology Platform (comprised of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and systems integration services which are also out of scope as it is being procured under a separate agreement). The BPS supplier will be expected to work with the technology provider and systems integrator to develop the design of the BPS solution.
The Authority proposes conducting a single procurement process to award a single contract for the Synergy BPS. However, bidding as a consortium, or as a prime contractor with the use of a range of subcontractors, will be permitted to encourage the delivery of the best overall solution.
The Authority will be conducting this procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
More specifically the Authority will be utilising the "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation" (CPN) procurement procedure.
The full suite of tender documentation, including specification and specific details of the "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation" relating to this procurement exercise can be found at the following link under Ref PQQ_28942:
https://dwp.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml
Suppliers will be required to register for the procurement event in order to access the documentation.
The Authority intends to undertake a remote procurement launch event to be conducted via MS Teams. This will take place on 17th September 2024 at 11:00 BST. The joining instructions of the event are contained within the 'SQ Instructions to Suppliers' document.

description:
The Authority is seeking to engage the market to work with The Synergy Programme and its stakeholders to ensure the delivery of best in class, Value for Money (VfM), shared Human Resources (HR) and Finance Business Process Service (BPS) solution, which meet the needs of service users.
The Synergy Programme has been established to bring together the individual Department plans in line with the Government Business Service (GBS) published Shared Services Strategy for Government: this includes building a common operating model, BPS, single technology, and single commercial strategy.
The Synergy Programme comprises the following central Government Departments (Departments) and their Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs).
• Ministry of Justice (MoJ);
• Department for Work and Pensions (DWP);
• Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA); and
• Home Office (HO).
DWP are currently the lead contracting authority for The Synergy Programme.
The prime driver of the Synergy Programme is to drive significant business transformation across four cluster Departments and their ALBs. The Synergy Programme, together with the successful suppliers will further develop a new Common Operating Model (COM) and introduce a new user-centric service including common data standards.
The COM design will continually evolve throughout the delivery of the Programme. As a result, benefits will also continue to evolve over time. This will help identify additional benefits for the Programme and provide more robust data and narrative to justify the current benefits profile.
The Synergy Programme will achieve its objectives for transformation of the back office services through investing in the development of a COM to drive a high level of convergence, the introduction of a high-performing, user-centric Future Shared Services Organisation (FSSO), development of standardised processes and introduction of common data standards.
The COVID pandemic, and the challenging fiscal environment that has followed as a result, has heightened the drive and need for more effective and efficient delivery by all Government Departments. Key to this ambition will be the ability to capture, manage and improve the quality of Finance and HR data to enable better informed decisions. The Synergy Programme will drive significant business transformation across four major Departments and their ALBs in support of this ambition. Additionally, the government has set out ambitious objectives to put sustainability at the heart of our government services.

The Synergy Programme has circa 280,000 employees between the Departments and their ALBs and the    Departments have a commonality of currently using the same outsourced BPS Partner, Shared Services Connected Limited (SSCL).

The provider collaborative is known as the Mid and South Essex Community Collaborative (MSECC).
All three community contracts are coterminous and expire at the end of March 2024
Community health services are complex and as a result of legacy commissioning arrangements there are substantial variation in the way services are commissioned and delivered across MSE. This disparity is closely related to historic CCG funding variance.
Moving to a hosted single contract for community services across the ICS is in line with National Strategies of the NHS Long Term Plan and the Health Care Act (2022), which place a strong emphasis on the integration of Health and Care services and the expansion of community services, with more services delivered at home.
It is expected that a single solution across the ICS footprint will deliver more effective care focused at place, mitigating inequalities and providing consistent care across the whole of the ICB. The community services will align to the four key aims established for MSEICS:
1.	Improve outcomes in populations health and healthcare
2.	Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
3.	Enhance productivity and value for money
4.	Support broader social and economic development
Locking MSECC into the system architecture provides the opportunity to create the stability needed to both deliver the immediate system priorities as well as support a strategic review of community services’ future needs, with the view to create a core offer of community health care for people in mid and south Essex that safeguards an effective and sustainable health and care system.
The three providers are the only technically capable of delivering the services based on the factors above and the significant time all organisations and the ICB have spent developing this integrated model. The contract will be awarded to Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) with North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) and Provide Community Interest Company (CIC) as significant sub-contract partners.
MSECC is a provider collaborative, recognised nationally for its track record of delivering valuable outcomes and ambitions to deliver care ‘better together’. During 23/24 MSECC participated in the National Provider Collaborative Innovator Scheme, the sole community provider collaboration selected. The diversity, scale and unique contributions of the three community health providers brings added value to the MSE system through strength, opportunities and resilience.
The three community provider organisations (EPUT, NELFT and Provide) came together to reduce unwarranted variation in care and outcomes for service users across MSE. Considerable progress has been made through building relationships, holding honest and open conversations, sharing expertise and resources and by exploring solutions together. By developing solid foundations MSECC has been able to work together to unscramble complex issues and ease thorny challenges, demonstrating tangible benefits for our population, staff and system.
Award of NHS Standard Contact following Direct Award Process A (DAPA).
Contract term of three years.
The expected total contract value has been calculated based on the financial baselining of all the current in-scope services and to include the full contract term.  The  contract value will be  £150 million per annum, equating to £450 million for the contract term.  This equates to just under 4% increase on current contract values.

University of Bristol has procured a Cryogen Free Measurement System
The equipment will form part of the wider Quantum and Soft Matter (QSM) research theme’s capabilities in the School of Physics, Faculty of Science and Engineering, at the University of Bristol. The QSM theme is recognised as one of the UK’s leading centres in the study of quantum materials – notably exotic / high temperature superconducting and magnetic materials. Research in the QSM theme has attracted significant research income over the last decades, including a helium liquefier, a range of ‘wet’ cryogenic systems, as well as hosting a Centre for Doctoral Training in Condensed Matter Physics. Given the recent challenges around the price and availability of helium globally, this turn-key closed-cycle system will provide a key additional level of flexibility and fast-turnaround for sample screening and basic characterisation, before utilising lower temperature and/or higher magnetic field measurements either in Bristol or at a range of facilities worldwide.
The equipment is comprised of two main components: (1) a state-of-the-art closed cycle cryostat with base temperature better than 1.8 K; (2) a superconducting magnet capable of applying fields in excess of 7 Tesla with high uniformity to a sample stage mounted inside the cryostat.
