procurementMethodRationale:
HMRC is in the process of migrating and replacing certain existing applications from existing data centres. The services procured via this contract concern those data centre services and applications pending such migration and or replacement and associated project services.
Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") provides that a contracting authority may award a public contract without prior publication of a Contract Notice where the services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator where competition is absent for technical reasons.  Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the PCR provides likewise, in order to protect exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.  Both of these grounds apply to the award of this contract to Fujitsu Services Ltd (the "Contractor") for the reasons explained below.
A change to a different contractor cannot be made for these services because the HMRC applications concerned are hosted and/or operated by the Contractor on the Contractor's infrastructure in the Contractor's data centres with connectivity provided by the Contractor. It would not be possible for another contractor to take over or provide these services using the original Contractor's infrastructure and hosting before they are migrated to HMRC's new replacement infrastructure in Crown data centres and or to the new cloud-based solutions which are is being provided under a new contract between HMRC and its other suppliers. Also, some of the services required, before the move is complete, are built with and or use the Contractor's unique intellectual property rights and this could not be supplied by a third-party.
Even if it were technically possible to have a new contractor provide some of the services under this contract, the costs of providing them before migration to the new solutions would be wholly uneconomic and disproportionate as it would involve wasted expenditure on replicating existing infrastructure and services in another location for a very short period before the new replacement services are adopted and the move completed.  An example of why this would be uneconomic is that it would need to involve the re-procurement of hardware and licenses on behalf of HMRC which are used in connection with the existing services and require support for such hardware and software already supported in existing data centres. HMRC would have to re-procure substantial equipment, connectivity and services which would be an unnecessary duplication of costs. The Contractor would not allow access to and operation of HMRC services currently located in their data centres by a third-party, (i.e. a new HMRC contractor).
The majority of servers utilised to deliver the additional services to HMRC are physical and ageing assets owned by the Contractor which are beyond their refresh point and the removal/migration of these assets represent a high risk to the continued critical operation of HMRC's services and systems. The Contractor also maintains a parts supply to fix the existing server estate when required. Due to the age of many servers, these parts are not generally available.

For St. David's hall to continue to provide live classical music and to ensure people in Wales have the opportunity to see a live full orchestra the Pianos currently in St .David's Music hall must be replaced.
The best Orchestras can only be attracted to play in venues with new Steinway Pianos. The current pianos are now too old (> 10 years) and are no longer able give a pianist the best performance. This can cause a decline in the Classical Music Offering in Wales.

procurementMethodRationale:
PCR2015–Reg 32(2(b)) (i) & (ii)
Cardiff Council has undertaken a full assessment of the existing pianos at St Davids Hall, identifying the issues, age and condition of each of the grand pianos. The existing Steinway grand pianos at St David’s Hall were purchased in 1999, 1992, 1982 and 1980. This illustrates that all existing pianos are all significantly older than required, even the newest grand piano is over 24 years old and the oldest is 43 years old. None of these pianos are performing to the optimum standard required and are in desperate need of replacement
The only way to select and purchase brand new Steinway Grand pianos fit for world class concert hall performance, is to select directly from the Steinway and Sons factory in Hamburg. New Steinway pianos are only produced in Hamburg and New York. Since each factory produces instruments with tonal characteristics specific to their region, for St David’s Hall the pianos would need to be selected from Hamburg and subsequently shipped from Hamburg to Cardiff
We have taken expert advice from Steinway, the BBC, the RWCMD and the WNO orchestra and the classical music programme needs two matching concert grand Model D pianos with a tonal chiastic to suit the acoustics of St David’s Hall. To match the full existing offer at St David’s Hall, the venue also needs a Model B Grand Steinway that is needed for when there is a full stage for some repertoire and events and a day stage grand. Therefore, the recommendation is that the hall selects 3 new Steinway grands and a Boston grand piano for the level 3-day stage that can be used for jazz, community events and activity
With advice from the classical music stakeholders and the research we have undertaken, world class classical concert pianist Charles Owen will test and select the pianos for St Davids Hall at the Steinway factory. Charles is widely recognised as the best person to select the pianos due to his exceptional ability, reputation and musical sensitivity, to select what is needed for a wide variety of classical programming, to best deliver a diverse world class classical repertoire. Each of the pianos will be selected accordingly to ensure the instruments have the needed brightness and additional subtleties and qualities needed for the classical programme

The action the Council is taking is to secure a future for St David’s Hall/ Neuadd Dewi Sant, including protecting the classical and community music programme that St David’s Hall/Neuadd Dewi Sant has
become renowned for. In addition to this the ambition is to improve the contemporary music offer, ensuring that the people of Cardiff, Wales and beyond can access the most relevant contemporary music, bands and acts synonymous with an Academy offer in the Capital of Wales.
In December 2022, a report to Cabinet stated that the Council was considering an unsolicited offer from AMG to take over operation of St David’s Hall without subsidy and to take away all of the building’s risks and liabilities from the Council. The report stated that AMG has given a firm commitment to work to enhance the venue’s reputation as the National Concert Hall of Wales by continuing to maintain and develop the classical music programme to protect the classical series. This would be alongside the introduction of AMG’s Academy music offer at the venue.
In the proposed deal, both a classical and community programme would be protected, which includes supporting important events and activity relating to culture in Wales and Welsh culture itself. Please note this is a property lease transaction and not the sale of the Property. Also note, this property transaction has been developed in line with legal advice from Kings Counsel on what can legally be included as part of transaction on this kind.
The Outline Business Case sets out that AMG will operate the venue without subsidy whilst also investing in the building and protecting the classical programme. As the venue was purposely built as a symphonic concert hall, so the people of Wales had access to experiencing a full symphony orchestra in the perfect acoustic setting. It is essential that the Council protects this offer in future deal arrangements.
To support the property lease, Cardiff Council has been working with classical music stakeholders involved with St David’s Hall, to establish a new classical music Stakeholder Advisory Partnership Board, to support and deliver a Memorandum of Understanding to help develop a shared vision to raise the profile of classical music performance and supporting activities at for St David’s Hall; support the delivery of a world leading cultural performance offer, enhancing the wider Academy music offer, supporting an optimised music offer to enhance the city of Cardiff’s events calendar; work with expert classical music programming staff, the BBC National Orchestra & Chorus of Wales, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, the Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera and the Royal Welsh Music College of Music and Drama, the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra and an Independent Classical Music Advisor to devise a shared development plan to support the future of classical music performance at St David’s Hall.
Ensuring the people of Cardiff/Wales have access to such a classical music offer is a matter of cultural equality. The Council’s arrangement with AMG going forward, pending a future Cabinet decision is to work with AMG and classical stakeholders to develop the classical music offer in Cardiff, also working with the Cardiff Music Board and partners, to help deliver the Cardiff Music Strategy.
It is widely recognised in the classical music sector, that for a symphonic concert hall to deliver a world class classical music programme and deliver performances of world class repertoire, it must have at least two Steinway and Sons Model D Concert Grand Pianos, that are under 20 years old and in full optimum condition. This is essential for attracting the best world class pianists, musicians, and orchestras to the venue and to maintain a full symphonic orchestral offer in the perfect acoustically designed setting.

The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of the Evaluation of
Cancer Strategy for Scotland.
Aligned to priorities highlighted in the Policy Prospectus and Care and Wellbeing Portfolio, this project seeks to provide evidence to
understand the effects and impacts of cancer policy actions on people affected by cancer. The aim is to provide insights to evaluate who
progresses smoothly (or not) along the pathway, in what way, and why, and what barriers (if any) are experienced. This will include
evidence about how different elements or models of support work along the pathway, and how the pathway is experienced by different
demographic groups, with a focus on those who have been underserved historically. In looking along the pathway, it will be important to
focus on two initiatives that are being implemented in NHS Boards to support people affected by cancer along the pathway: Improving the
Cancer Journey (Action 94, 2023-2036 Action Plan) and a Single Point of Contact (Action 95, 2023-2036 Action Plan). To support the
ambition to tackle health inequalities, evidence should be gathered from individuals and groups who experience socio-economic
inequalities, racism and discrimination, and in rural and island communities, where there are particular challenges in providing equity of
access, as highlighted in the Cancer Strategy. Data will contribute evidence connected with high-level strategic outcomes of the Cancer
Strategy: improved experience of services and optimised quality of life, which themselves contribute to the strategic aim to improve cancer
survival and provide excellent, equitably accessible care.

name: DXC Global Entserv Solutions Ireland Limited

description:
The regional GP OOH clinical information system (Adastra and Odyssey) is the central piece of the GP OOH ICT infrastructure. DXC and via their contractual relationship with Advanced provide a managed service to provision and support these services.
The Regional GP Out of Hours (GP OOH) service provides, for urgent conditions, a comprehensive, safe and efficient Out of Hours Service to the Northern Ireland population, who are also entitled to General Medical Services (GMS) services until the patient's own GP surgery is next open." During the covid pandemic the OOH service was expanded to provide an in hours Phone First Service for Trust ED departments directing patients to the most appropriate point of care. The Phone First services have continued post pandemic and will continue for the foreseeable future. This also expanded the service from an out of hours (6:00pm to 8:00am) service to a 24x7x365 service.
There are 5 Out of Hours Providers commissioned by the Department of Health Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) to provide the GP Out of Hours Service to the population of Northern Ireland. These five GP Out of Hours provider organisations in Northern Ireland deal with over 600,000 patient contacts per year.
The services are required to provide continued management maintenance and support of the Regional GP Out of Hours Clinical information system and the supporting IT services that enable its operation.
Moving to an alternative provider incorporating all of the required managed services provided by DXC is not possible before the expiry of the current contract. Transferring the technical support services, experience, and expertise that DXC provide to another supplier without an appropriate knowledge and skills transfer process would be extremely high risk to the continued operation of the GP Out of Hours service and could not be done safely within the time currently available. We estimate it would take at least six months to safely transfer the support of these services to another provider and this would require both DXC as the current provider and the new provider to be involved jointly in the hand over process.
Failure of the OOH service means that patients, by default, will attend the already overburdened Emergency Departments.
Outside of Advanced, who currently provide the out of hours software solution to over 95% of UK and ROI service providers there are only two other suppliers across the whole of the UK and Ireland.
One is the GP software provider TPP - their software is used by one small OOH provider in England. The TPP solution does not have all the added benefits such as Nurse Triage and integrated decision support. This would not be sustainable in NI as the numbers of GPs available to provide OOH services is diminishing and service is moving to increase the use of nurses and other multidisciplinary teams. The TPP solution does not integrate with the current infrastructure in Northern Ireland for example NIECR nor does it provide the messaging services to GP Practices following a consultation with the Out of Hours service. Considerable development work, requiring additional time and cost, would be required to facilitate development of this functionality.

Following the conclusion of the internal governance process, Essex County Council ("the Council") is  due to award a contract to deliver the AARCS service to the two (2) incumbent providers under the Direct Award Process C of the Provider Selection Regime. Please note that the award of the contract for this service remains subject to the successful conclusion of the standstill period as detailed within section IV of this notice alongside the full organisational details of the incumbent providers.
AARCS provides a range of evidence-based interventions shaped to meet individual needs, as well as ongoing support for individuals who have exited the service/treatment system but who may experience instances of need for acute recovery support.
This service is being commissioned under an initial term of five (5) years with an option to extend for a further two (2) years, thereby resulting in a maximum contractual duration of seven (7) years. The commencement date of this contract will be 1st October 2024 with an expiry date of 30th September 2029 pending the enactment of the optional extension period. For the avoidance of any further doubt, please be advised that if the extension period is enacted, the contract will expire on 30th September 2031.
Please be advised that the stated contract value within section II.I.7 of this notice reflects the aggregate value for the maximum seven (7) year term based on an annual value of £1,957,548.
Following the Council's assessment of the incumbent providers' delivery of the current service against the key criteria within the Provider Selection Regime as outlined below, the Council is assured that the providers are delivering the current AARCS contract to a sufficient standard. Furthermore, the Council is satisfied that the providers will satisfy the proposed new contract to a sufficient standard following a review of the following key criteria:
1. Quality and Innovation
2. Value
3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability
4. Improving access, reducing health inequality and facilitating choice
5. Social Value
Please be advised that each of the above noted key criteria was assigned an equal weighting of 20%. In addition, the Council conducted this assessment on the basis of the providers' delivery of the contractual key performance indicators alongside due consideration of the national performance of analogous services as reported by the National  Drug Treatment Monitoring System. The latter part of the Council's assessment of the current service demonstrated that the current provision is performing favourably and exceeding the recorded national evidence across multiple reporting fields.
In addition, the Council assessed the financial value of the current service in line with the reported CIPFA indicators for unit costs of similar services which demonstrated that this service performs favourably in comparison with both neighbouring and comparable local authorities.
In terms of integration, collaboration and service sustainability, the Council has secured positive evidence that both incumbent providers have successfully delivered joint working including but not limited to collaborative work with local schools and Essex Police during the delivery of the current service and this engagement is due to continue under the proposed contract. Furthermore, the Council has secured robust evidence of positive levels of engagement from the individuals who have accessed the service and completed a recovery programme.
In terms of social value, the incumbent providers have demonstrated a commitment to utilising local knowledge of the demographics and geography including insight of any areas of deprivation which is critical to delivering a placed based approach to the delivery of the AARCS service.

The aim of the programme is to offer tailored support to help people in employment to engage with the skills system, in order to gain qualifications, licences1 and / or skills. Provision should respond to skills gaps highlighted in the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and be flexible and responsive to the needs and aspirations of participants.
Previously commissioned Greater Manchester programmes for upskilling/reskilling employed individuals, such as GM Skills Bootcamps and the ESF Skills For Growth Programme have made significant progress against our priorities of responding to employer need and providing opportunities for residents to upskill/retrain into good jobs in growth industries. It is envisaged that this programme will continue to provide opportunities for employed residents to access fully funded training in some of the regions key sectors.
For the purpose of this procurement exercise, activity was split into five separate lots with 1 contract being awarded in each lot:
Lot 1: Advanced Digital Skills
Max contract value: £1,600,000
Volumes: minimum 800 starts; minimum 75% to complete

title: VEAT Notice Intention to award the City of London Healthwatch Services

description:
Healthwatch is a statutory service which was established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to understand the needs, experiences and concerns of people who use health and social care services and to speak out on their behalf.
Through its core functions the Healthwatch service supports the achievement of the strategic ambitions of the local health and care system, while operating as an organisation that is independent of these systems. This includes working with local residents to understand and represent their views and experiences of local health and care services. Healthwatch also has a key role in promoting and supporting residents to be actively involved in the commissioning and provision of local services and in their scrutiny once services are in place. Healthwatch also performs a vital function in considering the standard of health and care provision and working with partners to achieve improvements, Finally, Healthwatch offers advice and information about access to health and care services to enable residents to make informed choices.
The statutory functions are :
• Promoting and supporting the involvement of local people in the commissioning, provision and scrutiny of local care services
• Enabling local people to monitor the standard of provision of local care services and whether and how local care services could and ought to be improved.
• Obtaining the views of local people regarding their needs for, and experiences of, local care services and importantly making these views known.
• Making reports and recommendations about how local care services could or ought to be improved within an overall framework that recognises financial constraints. These should be directed to commissioners and providers of care services, and people responsible for managing or scrutinising local care services and shared with Healthwatch England
• Providing advice and information about access to local care services so choices can be made about local care services.
• Formulating views on the standard of provision and whether and how the local care services could and ought to be improved; and sharing these views with Healthwatch England
• Making recommendations to Healthwatch England to advise the Care Quality Commission to conduct special reviews or investigations (or, where the circumstances justify doing so, making such recommendations directly to the CQC); and to make recommendations to Healthwatch England to publish reports about particular issues.
• Providing Healthwatch England with the intelligence and insight it needs to enable it to perform effectively.
• Make the views and experiences of people known to Healthwatch England, helping us to carry out their role as national champions.

title: VEAT notice for the City of London Healthwatch Services

description:
This VEAT Notice indicates that the Contracting Authority intends  to directly award a Public Services contract under Regulation 32 (1)  ( 2) (b) (ii)  and  (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the provision of the City of London Healthwatch Services. The services will be delivered on a 36-month contract with 12 months + 12 months optional extension period.
The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication is being followed and is justified under Regulation 32 (1) (2) (b) (ii) and (iii) .
Healthwatch is a statutory service which was established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to understand the needs, experiences and concerns of people who use health and social care services and to speak out on their behalf. The Contracting Authority has a duty under Section 130 of the Act to have in place a Local Healthwatch organization.
Through its core functions the Healthwatch service supports the achievement of the strategic ambitions of the local health and care system, while operating as an organisation that is independent of these systems. This includes working with local residents to understand and represent their views and experiences of local health and care services. Healthwatch also has a key role in promoting and supporting residents to be actively involved in the commissioning and provision of local services and in their scrutiny once services are in place. Healthwatch also performs a vital function in considering the standard of health and care provision and working with partners to achieve improvements, Finally, Healthwatch offers advice and information about access to health and care services to enable residents to make informed choices.

reviewDetails:
The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ('Regulations') provide for aggrieved parties who have been

damages. If the contract has been entered into the court has the option to award damages and/or to
shorten or order the contract ineffective.

description: Health and social work services

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication is being followed by the Contracting Authority  and is justified under the following :-
Regulation 32 (1)  (2) (b) (ii)
 (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons
•	There appears to be an extremely limited market for a Local Healthwatch Service as Healthwatch England, the national body for Healthwatch, have themselves confirmed to the Contracting Authority.  Healthwatch England’s research  during 2023/4 concluded that the Local Healthwatch network is under significant pressure, and an increased number of local authorities are unable to award contracts because there are no viable Healthwatchs willing to bid for contracts in that area.    .
•	The CEO of Healthwatch England have advised that the previous government had launched a consultation on the NHS Constitution which sets out patient rights as an NHS Patient. The new government is planning to make some changes to the NHS Constitution. .
•	Any change in a provider of the Local Healthwatch Service will have governance implications  for not only the  Contracting Authority’s Health & Wellbeing Board, but could also impact on any integrated commissioning arrangements.
Regulation 32 (1) (2) (b) (iii)
   The protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
•	The Healthwatch City of London logo is an integral part of the organisation’s visual presentation. The Contracting Authority’s logo and branding must be used in the provision of the Local Healthwatch Service.
It is highly likely the  Local Healthwatch Service is outside the scope of the Health Care Services [Provider Selection Regime] Regulations 2023. This is also the initial view of Healthwatch England whom the Contracting Authority have consulted with. The Service falls within Schedule 3 [ Social and Other Specific Services] referred to in Regulation 74 [ Public Contracts for Social and Other Specific Services]  of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Whilst the anticipated contract value is below the threshold of the Light Touch Regime,  it is the Contracting Authority’s intention that the LTR will apply to the direct award.

For the purposes of ensuring that, the Contracting Authority’s duty under Section 221 of the Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 ( as amended by the Localism Act 2012) is met ,the Contracting Authority intends to award a new contract via direct award to the Social Enterprise, the  current contractor.  The Contracting Authority is satisfied there is justification for a direct award. However, the Contracting Authority will observe a 10 calendar day  voluntary standstill period  from the date of publication of this VEAT Notice during which the Contracting Authority will not enter into any arrangement for the direct award .

Breakwater: The current infrastructure at each side of the Sound of Iona is not fit for purpose and this is the main factor in service reliability for the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to and from Iona.
The slipway on Iona is completely exposed and has no shelter from weather and this, combined with recent repair works involving steel shuttering, has resulted in making it difficult for the ferry to grip the pier, this has a negative impact on service provision.
The result of inadequate infrastructure in the Sound of Iona has a direct impact on the lives of the people who live there. A day without a ferry results in essential services to the island being affected – medical, educational, refuse collection, business delivery etc.
The solution to the situation is a breakwater at Iona. This infrastructure will enable a much improved service, and improved ability for lifeline services to travel to and from Iona with the facilitation of wider forms of economic development on both sides of the Sound.
Slipway Repairs: A Principal Inspection in 2018 at Iona Slipways noted a number of defects requiring repair. A number of these repairs were completed under a construction contract awarded in May 2021, with a number of defects still outstanding and some items of works undertaken under the 2021 Construction Contract requiring correction.
The works completed under the 2021 Construction Contract have been inspected and additional works progressed under a Phase 1 contract.
This Phase 2 works contract shall complete all outstanding works at Iona Slipways to allow the slipways to continue to fully serve the community and the various services provided through the slipways.
Public Toilet Block: The existing public toilet block, located between the exiting slipway and the proposed breakwater shall also be replaced.
