During 2017, STARTER was procured and initially served as a fleet of 56 platforms for deployment on Contingent Operations .  Later during 2019 an additional 66 platforms were procured for use on MACA .
As STARTER is for Contingent Operations it is imperative that as many repairs as possible can be conducted at Level 1 and Level 2 .  L3 Harris Technologies’ RCV has been specifically designed for ease of maintenance.  This includes a modular design that enables easy break-down for repair and maintenance.  A total of 66% of all major assemblies and components can be repaired / installed at maintenance Levels 1 or 2.

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
In accordance with regulation 4 of the Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
It is considered that 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 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons. There are technical impracticability and interoperability issues   which would prevent another supplier from providing the required services.
The Authority are procuring directly with L3Harris Technologies Inc following confirmation  the company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer. L3Harris Technologies Inc have managed the current STARTER contract for  the last 7-years which is when it was brought into service.
The STARTER System has a modular design that which, only with access to the equipment manuals and technical publications, enables easy break-down for repair and maintenance. Any manuals, technical publications, drawings or expertise knowledge which are owned by L3Harris Technologies Inc have not and will not be released to a third Party supplier. Without the release, access to  of the manuals or technical publications it would not be possible for another Supplier to fulfil the requirement or to perform any modifications or equipment repairs throughout the duration of the contractual agreement.

procurementMethodRationale:
Due to the ongoing complexity of the implementation of the McCloud Remedy Legislation, it is the considered view of the Contracting Authority that there is no alternative option other than to continue to contract with the incumbent supplier at this time. Grounds for justification have been summarised below:
- Complexity and repercussive nature of any change to the current supply chain during implementation of a legislative requirement.
- Continuity of skill and experience to deliver and maintain the current Pension Software.
- Change management of solutions and data transfer/migration at this current time would be both contentious and repercussive to both the Scheme Managers and the Scheme Members.
All efforts have been made to ensure value for money and continuity of service under the direct award approach and any extension or new contract will be subject to the normal contract management and performance processes.
It should be noted that the incumbent software supplier is not party to any accessible national framework. As a result, the Contracting Authority can only proceed on the basis of a Single Tender Action (STA) on the grounds of skill/experience, cost of change and legislative obligation.

Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the above.
A maximum of six contractor(s) will be party to the framework agreement.  Call-off contracts from the framework agreement shall follow the terms of the framework agreement including how a call-off contract is concluded.  How a call-off contract is concluded is explained within the invitation to tender documentation .
Background
Islington Council’s (the “Council”) Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan (the “Plan”) was agreed in March 2023. The Plan sets out how the Council will increase recycling rates on Islington estates through a programme of investment and behaviour change focussed on improving recycling sites and site infrastructure.
This Plan involves the installation of new enclosures for bins at a number of sites and on various estates to improve the look and feel of sites and to make the process of recycling more convenient and appealing to residents.
This procurement will establish a framework agreement with up to (6) six suitable manufacturers, suppliers and installers of bin enclosures with a term of three (3) years as funding is available for a three (3) year period. The enclosures will be available in a variety of formats depending on need. For example, some enclosures in close proximity to buildings need to be fire resistant. Others may benefit from a green (living) roof, or a particular style of cladding to fit in with the estate environment.
This will enable individual estate based projects to be planned and delivered in a way that meets the needs of residents on individual estates and key stakeholders (including Councillors, resident associations etc) and takes into account the nature of the estate and it’s environment, fire safety requirements, bio diversity and using framework suppliers and designs that meet the requirements of each project. The process of selection of supplier and design of the framework agreement will follow the ordering procedure outlined in Schedule 3 of the draft contract.
The requirement
Islington Council is undertaking a programme of estate recycling site improvements that involves making estate and public recycling sites more accessible, aesthetically pleasing and convenient, reducing contamination and fly-tipping and increasing the level of recycling. To this end, we wish to install enclosures at a number of estate recycling sites around the Borough.
Islington Council therefore has a requirement for the supply and installation of robust, attractive, fire resistant (depending upon location) and easy to use enclosures for waste and recycling bins at locations on Islington Council estates.
The objectives of the procurement are:
•	To deliver and install enclosures for recycling and waste facilities on estates that are accessible, robust, attractive, fire resistant (depending upon location) and easy to use
•	To secure goods that represent value for money
•	To deliver social value to the wider community to support repair initiatives as part of Islington’s Circular Economy Action Plan and Net Zero Carbon ambition
The framework aims to include a variety of options including:
•	Wood cladding and fire resistant cladding
•	Green ‘living’ roof
•	Accessible enclosures that accommodate ‘accessible’ recycling bins with lower aperture

Value of the framework agreement
The estimated value of the goods/services/works that may be awarded by Islington Council under the framework agreement is estimated at between £0 and £2,000,000 over the duration of the framework agreement.
The council and its partners will be under no obligation to utilise the framework agreement. No guarantee is given towards volume or value of work under this framework agreement.
Award criteria

Core Capabilities
In the attached document, Annex A, there is a more detailed list of the requirements of this potential opportunity and the associated capabilities, which can be summarised as:
•	Data analysis
•	Investigation
•	Process review and business analysis
•	Fraud Risk Assessment
•	Hypothesis testing
•	Site audits
•	Analysis and reporting
•	Policy analysis and design
This fraud and error assurance exercise will cover the geographical remit of the ECO4 scheme – England, Wales and Scotland.
Commercial Model and Route to Market
To minimise the risk of potential conflicts of interest and ensure continued delivery of services under this contract, the Authority intends to design a 'cab rank' system with the following methodology:
•	Suppliers are ranked based on the outcome of the procurement process (1st, 2nd, 3rd,…), the evaluation methodology for how suppliers will be assessed is still under consideration. There will be a prime contractor, a first reserve, and a second reserve, etc.
•	The prime contractor will be offered all works packages first, to which they can accept or refuse, based on factors such as geographic location, technical capability, if they're conflicted out, and so on.
•	If the prime contractor refuses the work package, it will be offered to the first reserve contractor, and the above process will then repeat down to the second reserve, and beyond.
The proposed route to market is a framework call-off competition from the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Audit & Assurance Services (A&AS) Framework RM6188 - Lot 3 or Lot 4.
The Authority reserves the right to change this commercial model, and route to market, and the market will be informed of any changes.

title: ECO4 Fraud and Error Assurance

description:
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (hereafter referred to as “the Authority”) are looking to conduct a fraud and error assurance exercise related to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme. The ECO4 scheme works by placing an obligation on large and medium-sized energy suppliers in England, Scotland and Wales, to provide energy efficiency and heating measures to low-income and vulnerable households living in the least energy efficient homes across Great Britain.  This scheme is funded and delivered by energy companies on behalf of the Authority.
The first obligation started in 2013, and the most recent iteration, ECO4, commenced on 1st April 2022 and will run until 31st March 2026. ECO4 focusses on improving the least energy efficient properties, and targets homes equivalent to an energy performance certificate (EPC) band D-G for owner occupied households; and bands E-G for privately or socially rented homes (subject to certain restrictions). Households eligible for the scheme must also be in receipt of either income-based benefits, certain tax credits, pension credits or qualify through ECO4 Flex (where Local Authorities identify properties for treatment). The scheme aims to provide a more complete retrofit of properties to ensure maximum carbon emission savings, including a variety of measures such as insulation, solar panels, and renewable heating systems.
DESNZ is aware of the potential for non-compliance within the scheme, including:
•	The misrepresentation of property eligibility characteristics in the ECO4 scheme, indicating the need for greater control of error and fraud.
•	Potential for discrepancies within Energy Performance Reports (EPRs), particularly relating to building characteristics for instance in ceiling heights, default U values (rate of transfer of heat through a wall) and boiler models.
•	Possible gaps in household eligibility checks which are required to ensure all households receiving ECO4 support meet the eligibility requirements.
The scope of the exercise is to examine and understand exposure to and causes for this, and other types of error and fraud, on the ECO4 scheme. The overall aim of the exercise is to improve the scheme delivery process, ensure targeted support is going to those most in need, and ensure ECO4 is providing value for money for energy bill payers. Outputs of the exercise will include a report detailing the thematic areas of fraud and error, and providing recommendations that are addressed to the Authority, but relevant to all elements of the supply chain and to delivery stakeholders.

title: Research Grants Management System

description:
The contract and support of the existing LSHTM finance system including the research costing & pricing functionality is ending in December 2025.  Moving to Cloud-based solutions for core systems is in line with LSHTM IT strategy whilst the functionality needed to support LSHTM research projects means a full research grants management solution is required.  The assessment of options for the Finance System has means that LSHTM will require two separate systems, one for Finance and one for research management.
Worktribe is the only vendor that offers an off-the-shelf, ready-to-use solution with end-to-end functionality and fully integrated workflows for Pre-Award, Post-Award, contracts management, due diligence, timesheets, ethics and reporting within a single, user-friendly platform.

title: Research Grants Management System

description: The proposed contract is for the supply and implementation of a commercial off the shelf SaaS Research Grants Management System to manage research projects from pre-award (budgeting of grants), through to ethics, contracts and post-award.  This contract will replace the existing finance system module, the contract and support for which is expiring, whilst providing enhanced and extended functionality for the LSHTM research portfolio

description: Industry specific software package

procurementMethodRationale:
Under Clause 32(b) (ii) of Public Contract Regulations 2015:  The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for works contract, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases: - (b) where the works, suppliers or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons: - (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons
Through review of frameworks, soft market testing and informal discussions other institutions, we have concluded that Worktribe is the only proven solution that meets all of LSHTM’s requirements below.
A single SaaS system providing one access point to manage the lifecycle of research projects. Including:
-	Pre-award – budgeting, costing and pricing proposals based on TRAC/Full Economic Costing (FEC) (including UKRI and NIHR budget templates), approval workflows and managing applications
-	Contracts – supporting contract negotiations with funders, partners and collaborators.
-	Due diligence – create and undertake bespoke risk assessment of funders, partners, collaborators and countries. Evaluate the financial and non-financial risks, and provide an overall risk score for the organisations and countries visible across the platform
-	Research ethics - management tools including bespoke question sets, workflow allocation rules, full ethics review process including for amendments, ethics committee management, automated generation of outcome letters and reports, configurable workflows for progress reports, end of study reports and safety reports, and risk allocation and visibility
-	Post-award – in-built, seamless integration with the Pre-award applications/contracts, project set up, integration with finance system, monitoring of spend against budget, workflow management of budget virements, adjustments, supplements, no-cost extensions and final reconciliation and project close out
-	Timesheets – sector-specific tools to record and approve actual staff time on a project and adjustments to costs incurred in compliance with the requirements of research funders and other statutory organisations
-	Single SaaS platform data management for the research lifecycle, seamless links between the research lifecycle areas, and to streamline reporting
-	has proven integration capability with LSHTM’s new finance system (TechnologyOne’s OneEducation system) and HR system (iTrent) for seamless transition of information for costing project proposals, setting up project codes
-	is a mature, tried and tested product that does not require any significant capability development
-	Proven track record with HEIs with similar integration requirements and research portfolio complexity
-	enables user groups role based access through a user-friendly interface
-	is offered off-the-shelf (i.e. no customisation required) delivered within LSHTM’s strict implementation timescales
Limitations of other solutions included:
-	Primary capabilities were either as a Current Research Information System (CRIS), an ethics system or a timesheet system. Management of research outputs / institutional repository is outside of scope for this project and not currently of interest.
-	No established FEC tool for research and innovation projects.
-	No tools to manage the contracts aspect of the requirement.
-	Complex, unproven integrations with other systems  required to deliver the full requirement.
-	Not widely proven by HEIs with similar integration requirements and research portfolio complexity.
Multiple systems would
-	be detrimental to the user experience,
-	increase training requirements and costs
-	impact user adoption.
-	Prevent a ‘one stop shop’ to monitor and view the status of a project.
-	Increase complexity through integrations between multiple systems  as well as implementation time and create additional costs.

Housing Stock Background -
The Council has a housing stock of approximately 17,500 properties of which approximately 15,500 are socially rented and then there are approximately 2000 leasehold properties.  Within the stock there is a mix of housing types including houses and bungalows, however the majority of the dwellings are within purpose-built blocks of flats constructed in the 1950s and 1960s.
Traditionally the estate has been spread across the two geographical areas of Portsea Island (on-island, PO1 to PO5) and Paulsgrove and Havant (off-island, PO6 to PO9).  A recent acquisition of approximately 800 properties has however subsequently increased the 'off-island' area to sites in Gosport, Southampton and Winchester.
Existing Gas Service Contract
A single term service provider has managed all gas servicing across the housing stock under an NEC 4 Option E Cost Reimbursement contract.  The gas servicing contract covers residential housing stock only and does not include any corporate assets.
The contract has been in operation for just over 10 years and is currently utilising the extent of its extensions and will expire in March 2026 with an estimated overall contract value of approximately £70m.
The existing arrangement has incorporated a number of functions and has not been solely gas related and has included but is not exhaustive of:
•	Annual gas servicing
•	Replacement & maintenance of boilers
•	Emergency callouts
•	HIU servicing and repair
•	Water quality testing**
•	Electrical inspection and testing**
•	Fire door, sprinkler and smoke detector checks**
** whilst the existing scope of services includes these activities, these are viewed as low value non-core requirements, which could be removed from future scope or included as a potential option for service delivery
Existing Repairs & Maintenance
Two term service providers have managed the general repairs and maintenance requirements across the housing stock under an NEC 4 Option E Cost Reimbursement contract.
Each service provider has covered a distinct geographical area with one provider being responsible for 'on-island' repairs and one contractor being responsible for 'off-island' repairs. The 'on-island' contractor also manages repairs to a number of the Council's corporate assets.
The contract with each service provider has been in operation for just under 10 years and will expire in March 2026 with an estimated overall combined contract value of approximately £400m split fairly evenly across both geographical areas.
The existing arrangement has incorporated a number of functions and has included but is not exhaustive of:
•	General responsive repairs
•	General void property works
•	Disabled adaptations
•	Decorations
•	Compliance testing
•	Solar panel repairs
•	Fire door, sprinkler and smoke detector checks
•	Catering and Laundry Appliance Servicing and Repairs
Overview of lotting Options
The current model for gas and repairs maintenance has been delivered with a single term service provider for gas, covering both on and off-island and two term service providers for repairs, with one covering on-island and one covering off-island.
As both the gas contract and the two repair contracts are due to expire in March 2026 there is an opportunity, should an outsourcing strategy be pursued, to run the re-procurement of these concurrently and explore the possibility of combining the service.
There is no set model of how the new service might appear, consequently the concept of lotting has been introduced so that the Council can review a variety of strategies from returned questionnaire responses. The SMT questionnaire will assist the Council in determining the final appearance of the lotting options included in any subsequent procurement process.
Lot 1, 2 & 3 - This is the retention of the existing arrangement with three separate lead suppliers, with individual contracts -
•	Lot 1 - Gas Servicing - all areas (on-island and off-island)
•	Lot 2 - Repairs & Maintenance - on-island
•	Lot 3 - Repairs & Maintenance - off-island
Lot 4 & 5 - This is an alternative delivery model with two separate lead suppliers*** -
•	Lot 4 - Repairs & Maintenance and Gas Servicing - on-island
•	Lot 5 - Repairs & Maintenance and Gas Servicing - off-island
***Whilst these lotting options will have one supplier per lot to deliver the Repairs & Maintenance and Gas Servicing, the Council envisages each supplier will have a separate contract for the Repairs & Maintenance and a separate contract Gas Servicing. Effectively, Lot 4 will have two contracts with one supplier and Lot 5 will have two contracts with one supplier.
Lot 6 & 7 - This is an alternative delivery model, where the Gas Servicing has been split to on-island and off-island**** -
•	Lot 6 - Gas Servicing - on-island
•	Lot 7 - Gas Servicing - off-island
****The Repairs & Maintenance provisions would be delivered under lot 2 & 3 above, so there are four separate lead suppliers, with individual contracts
The Council envisages suppliers will be able to apply for multiple lotting options but will only be awarded a contract under one of the lots for which they apply.
The Council reserve the right to award under any or a mix of the above lotting options i.e. the Council could award the on-island works under lot 4 Repairs & Maintenance and Gas Servicing to a single contractor, whilst awarding the off-island contract under lot 3 - Repairs & Maintenance & lot 7 - Gas Servicing.
The final lotting arrangement has not been set but is likely to be similar to the options set out below or a combination of the options.  Whilst the Council has identified a number of lotting options above, suppliers have the option within the SMT Survey to suggest alternative lotting options, with supporting rationale for the delivery of the core services under.
Envisaged contract terms and durations
It is proposed under any of the lotting above, that the contract to be used will be an NEC 4 Term Service Contract utilising one or more of the following pricing options:
Option A: Priced contract with activity schedule
Option C: Target contract with activity schedule
Option E: Cost reimbursement contract
However, during the response to the SMT Survey, the Council will review alternative contracting strategies that suppliers identify for the delivery of requirements under any of the specific lotting options.
The Council envisages the contract will run for a minimum term of five years and an option to extend for a further five years, in increments to be agreed, at the end of the initial five years.  Therefore, the contract could run for between five to ten years.
SMT Events, Agenda and Registering interest
As part of the soft market testing the Council will be running the following events -
•	In Person Event -Lord Mayor's Banqueting Suite, Guildhall, Portsmouth on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 from 13:00
•	Microsoft Teams meeting on Thursday 24th October 2024 from 10:00
To book a place on the in-person event and/or the Microsoft Teams meeting, suppliers are to complete Appendix 10 - Request for participation at SMT events, available via Intend, and return this using the correspondence function on Intend.
Suppliers will be limited to three delegates for the in-person event and should submit their request to attend no later than Wednesday 23rd October 2024 by 10:00.
Suppliers are not limited to the number of delegates for the Microsoft Teams meeting and should submit their request to attend no later than Thursday 24th October 2024 by 16:00.
SMT Questionnaire Return Requirements
The Council request have included a survey link in the SMT Briefing document, available through Intend, for interested suppliers to complete online by Friday 8th November 2024 by 14:00 .
Suppliers will have the ability to submit a response past the deadline above. However, if questionnaires are not submitted by this deadline the Council may not be able to use the information provided, and subsequently take this into account as part of the options appraisal produced. Additional information: The Council is issuing the Prior Information Notice under the Public Contract Regulations (2015), though the intention will be to run the procurement process using a Competitive Flexible Procedure (CFP) under the Procurement Act 2023, which is due to be live from the 24th February 2024.
The design of the CFP is being formulated and a separate SMT exercise is likely to be issued early in 2025 to redefine specific elements, which are likely to include but not limited to the scope, contract, key performance indicators, minimum requirements for participation, social value, environment & sustainability considerations, evaluation criteria etc.
The Council anticipate the Competitive Flexible Procedure will be akin to the Restrictive Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations (2015), with two separate stages -
Stage 1 - Initial Selection
This stage focuses on shortlisting suppliers that meet the necessary technical, financial, and operational capabilities required for the contract. It aims to reduce the number of bidders to a manageable level through consideration of current experience, capacity, systems, accreditations, financial standing, legal standing, etc.
The Council will issue a Contract Notice outlining the key details and requirements, including the overview of the procurement process & associated programme, value of the opportunity, scope of the contracts, lotting options & associated contractual terms, minimum levels of technical experience & accreditations and evaluation & award criteria.
The notice will provide all necessary information for potential suppliers to assess and apply for the opportunity under any of the relevant lotting options specified.
Any interested suppliers will need to register on the governments Central Digital Platform for the Council to review any potential grounds for exclusion and a debarment check. The Central Digital Platform is currently not live, and the Council are awaiting further details as to when and how suppliers will be able to register on the platform.
It is worth noting, the Council will be required to undertake checks on any named subcontractor a tenderer incorporates into their bid. If the subcontractor was to not meet the exclusion grounds and/or be listed on the debarment list, then the Council will need to investigate this as part of any award decision .
It is likely following the stage 1 returns; the Council are likely to create a shortlist of 3-5 suppliers per lotting option who will subsequently be invited to submit formal tenders.
Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT)
The second stage, shortlisted suppliers are invited to submit detailed proposals, including price, delivery methodology, and any specific solutions they propose.
The Council may also enter into clarification and / or negotiations to ensure requirements are fully considered and / or optimise final tenders, making it more flexible than the traditional open or restricted procedures.
The council may also consider the use of interviews and site visits. The procurement process will also consider the viewpoint of residents at every stage including for development of requirements and assessment of resident engagement proposals.
The details for as and when this may occur will be outlined in the initial Tender Notice
Suppliers will be required to provide tender specific proposals in delivery of the services under any of the specific lotting options, which the Council will undertake a review of, including qualitative and pricing responses

title: Housing, Neighbourhood and Building Services - Repairs & Maintenance and Gas Servicing & Repair Delivery Options Appraisal , Portsmouth

description:
Portsmouth City Council (the 'Council') is undertaking a Soft Market Testing (SMT) exercise as part of a strategic review of delivery options for the provision of repairs & maintenance and gas servicing across its managed building assets. The Council is responsible for managing a portfolio of properties that require regular repairs and maintenance, along with gas servicing to ensure safety, compliance, and efficiency to Council properties.
The Council currently have three separate contracts in place for Gas Servicing and Repairs & Maintenance across Council managed assets, that are due to expire on 31/03/2026 -
•	Term Service Contract for the Servicing, Maintenance and Compliance (Gas, M&E and Buildings) - approximate Value of Contract - £7M per annum
•	Housing Repair and Maintenance - PO1 to PO5 (on Portsea Island and commercial properties) - approximate Value of Contract - £20M per annum
•	Housing Repair and Maintenance - PO6 to PO9 (off Portsea Island and commercial properties) - approximate Value of Contract - £20M per annum
The Councils options appraisal will consider the merits of both in-sourced and out-sourced delivery models in delivering the council's strategic objectives, addressing emerging risks & opportunities and, vitally, addressing resident needs.
The Council have published this Prior Information Notice and subsequent associated documents under the current Public Contract Regulations 2015. However, if the Council chooses to pursue an outsourced delivery model, the subsequent formal procurement will commence in May 2025 at which point the forthcoming Procurement Act 2023 will have come into force legally, subject to their being no further significant delays to the current go live date of 24th February 2025.
To avoid any future compliance issues impacting a subsequent procurement process, the Council has designed an SMT process that will align with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, particularly in relation to the increased transparency, conflict assessment and risk assessment considerations that the act will impose.
The Council's aim in undertaking this SMT exercise is to understand the market's interest, capacity, capability, and ideas for delivering these services. The Council is also seeking to assist main contractors and sub-contractors with identifying and engaging potential delivery partners with which they could provide the Council's requirements through facilitating networking and information sharing.
The Council will be keeping residents informed at all stages of the process via resident consortiums and resident maintenance subgroups. However, it will also be necessary for the Council to consider wider consultation and representation with its secure tenants, as directed by legislation, where a decision could result in a change of practice or policy in relation to a programme of maintenance before reaching any conclusions.
The feedback will inform the Council's strategic options appraisal and help ensure that any subsequent procurement strategy is optimised to meet resident needs, strategic objectives, statutory obligations and best value duties.
The Council will be running an in-person event on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 and, for those unable to attend in person, a subsequent Microsoft Teams event on Friday 25th October 2024.
Interested parties are encouraged to attend the in-person event, if possible, as it will present an opportunity to network and investigate new business relationships as well as providing an opportunity to meet Council officers, residents and other key stakeholders.
To review and feedback on the delivery strategy and options, the Council have published a SMT Questionnaire to be completed via Survey Monkey, available through the Councils e-tendering portal - Intend.
The Council are requesting the survey is completed by Friday 8th November 2024 at 14:00, any responses after this deadline may not be considered in the final options report.

Systems Thinking Approach
The previous contracts have been managed on a full open book partnership basis with adoption of a range of Vanguard Systems Thinking designed processes and performance measures. The Council envisages these principles will still form part of any ongoing delivery strategy for the Gas Servicing and Repairs & Maintenance contracts, though potentially their application may be modified dependant on the chosen delivery model.
Improvements to the system of management are made based on knowledge gained using the Systems Thinking method by undertaking Check, Plan, Do, together with using the Council's principles of work.
Further information on System Thinking can be freely accessed via the Vanguard site using the link below.
https://vanguard-method.net/the-vanguard-method-and-systems-thinking/
Further information regarding the Council's application of the Systems Thinking methodology, IT systems, repairs & maintenance services, statutory compliance activities, asset improvement and partnership working is included within Council's Asset Management Strategy 2021.
Over the last 5 years there have been approximately 13,000 gas safety checks annually and 9000 annual gas and general boiler repairs, which is likely to remain consistent over the course of any new contract.
Over the last 5 years there have been approximately 16,000 annual general repairs and maintenance tasks undertaken across the 'on-island' stock and 15,000 annually across the 'off-island' stock, which is likely to remain consistent over the course of any new contract.
The Council is currently working on a number of development options, and it is anticipated that within the next 5-10 years there is potential for up to 1000 additional dwellings to be created that will require some level of maintenance and consequently will need to be absorbed into any new contract.
With the impending changes to gas installations post 2025 it is unlikely that there will be an increase in demand for annual gas servicing as a result of any development and as the stock decarbonises the current level of demand may reduce.
Social Value
The provision of social value is an increasingly important topic for the Council and within public sector procurement, with the Council adopting an updated policy in 2021, see the following link - Social-Value-Policy March 2021
Gas Servicing and Repairs & Maintenance Contracts will need to incorporate social value to ensure the Council achieves community benefits from the contracts beyond the core service provisions. This commitment aligns with the Council's strategic priorities to foster local economic growth, improve social outcomes, and enhance environmental sustainability.
The Council are committed to continuously reviewing and improving the approach to social value delivery, and suppliers will be encouraged to innovate and suggest new ways of increasing their contribution to commitments made towards Economic Regeneration, Employment, Skills, and Training, Environmental Considerations and Community Engagement, whilst working in Partnership with the Council and partner organisations.
Changing context and objectives
Over the next 5-10 years the Council is expecting to experience a number of challenges with regards to the maintenance of its housing and general fund properties with any incumbent provider to work in partnership with the Council to ease pressures where they can.
There will be significant pressure to decarbonise the stock to align with local political objectives and comply with national Government energy legislation.
Significant changes in legislation such as the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Act will require greater scrutiny from suppliers to ensure they are working in a compliant way and may require them to adopt new skills such as undertaking works as a result of Building Safety Cases for buildings of 6+ storeys.
There will be more focus on the accuracy and timely manner of up-load of compliance information and ensuring repairs, particularly around damp and mould are well managed and resolved and will be monitored by the Social Housing Regulator.
It will be expected that any incumbent contractor will align their processes with the Council, particularly around systems thinking and that the contractor will lead on social value commitment and contributing to and supporting the surrounding community.

The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days.

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham
population. This contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the
Provider Selection Regime.
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers.

Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract award is from
01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. This is an existing service from an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme

name: Barn Park Ltd. (Barn Park Residential Home)

description: An optional 6 month extension is included in the contract.

description:
People leaving hospital in the Devon system under pathway 2 have a wide range of needs that require residential care. This includes the requirement for care provision to be able to support with complex manual handling (including hoist and stand aid transfer requiring the assistance of two people) and to support the needs of those who require the support of two staff overnight. It is also important that all daily living activities are taken with an enabling approach, to promote the person's independence and rehabilitation.
NHS Devon has awarded a contract for 6 pathway 2 block booked beds for a 6 month (+ 6 month optional extension) contract at a cost of £1,000 per bed per week. The contract may increase to 8 beds if capacity allows, this would increase the value below by £1,000 per bed per week utilised.
The initial value of the contract is: £156,000 for 6 months. (This value may increase up to a maximum £208,000 if both the additional 2 beds are utilised. The value may increase to a maximum of £416,000 if the optional extension is used.)
The service provision dates are: 9th September 2024 to 8th March 2025 (with an optional extension of 6 months with an end date of 8th September 2025).

NHS Devon has awarded a contract for 6 pathway 2 block booked beds for a 6 month contract at a cost of £1,000 per bed per week. The contract may increase to 8 beds if capacity allows.
Pathway 2 Definition: Likely to be maximum of 4% of people discharged from the acute hospital: the main aim is to provide recovery, rehabilitation, assessment, care planning or short-term intensive support in a 24-hour bed-based setting to maximise levels of independence, before the person is supported to return home.

procurementMethodRationale: NHS Devon had planned to arrange for provision of these services via a permitted modification to an existing contract with the named supplier. At a late stage in this process however it became apparent that the terms of the existing contract were not sufficient to allow for the full scope of the planned modification. As such, to secure mobilisation of this additional provision within the timescales required, a short term contract has been awarded via a direct award. A procurement in line with PSR will be undertaken in this time, with a 6 month extension option included to ensure sufficient time for this should it be required.
