Medway Council require an effective and equitable service that supports young people who use substances to access a range of support services (such as harm reduction interventions, one-to-one support, group support, recovery, and education) to meet their needs effectively, preventing further substance-related harms.
Medway Council carried out a health assessment at the start of this year which identified gaps in service provision between CYP and adult’s services. This has informed Medway Council’s long-term aim to create an all-age system for substance misuse services and improve transitions between the CYP service and the adult’s service. At present the Young People’s service and the adults treatment service are delivered by two separate providers, commissioned by different organisations. While both commissioners and providers work collaboratively, the current arrangement has different contract end dates and contract management routines. This award is the first step in aligning the contracts, their management, and personnel while a new all age, but age appropriate, model and service specification are developed. The benefits are as follows:
• Commissioner can focus on service development and stakeholder engagement rather than performance managing two contracts
• Pooling of resources will increase the amount available to use on service delivery
• Co-design of the new all age service will be more effective and a wider pool of service users available for consultation
To enable this, the proposal is for the CYP service to run alongside the existing adults’ service and provided by the current adults’ service provider. Therefore, the contract term will be brought in-line with the adult’s contract, with an initial contract period of 19 months (1 Sept 2024 – 31 March 2026), followed by one optional 12-month extension.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This notice will be published for 14 days.
The award decision makers are Public Health commissioning officers.
The intention is to award the CYP Substance Misuse Service using the Most Suitable Provider process.

The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
Explanation: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this Competitive Process.

Key criteria
Relevant authorities must consider five key criteria when applying direct award process C, the most suitable provider process or the competitive process. These are:
•	quality and innovation

Piloting a mobile cervical screening service model is key in identifying whether this method of access supports the increase of cervical screening uptake for women and people with a cervix in Doncaster. The implementation of a mobile cervical screening service may be one method of support for eligible women to overcome barriers (such as lack of time, having other commitments, difficulty accessing the primary care appointment system, travel to general practice), and support with the reduction in inequalities.

To meet the local requirements of a mobile cervical screening service, the provider will enable eligible women and people with a cervix with the option of attending cervical screening in an alternative location, either pre-bookable or on a drop-in basis where no appointment is needed.

•	Value

Evidence suggests that mobile screening units are beneficial in supporting people to complete screening (5). Mobile screening units have been utilised within the breast cancer screening programme in the UK, which is also due to receive a £10 million investment to deliver 29 new units to increase screening capacity (6). Yet, no such mobile provision is in place for cervical screening, but this may be one method to increase screening uptake, and reduce the barriers identified consistently within literature/research.

Recent statistics highlights that approximately 4.6 million women aged 25 to 64 in England have never been screened for cervical cancer or are not up to date with their tests (1). Statistics further highlight that from 2020 until now, England uptake percentage has not exceeded 70% for those under 50 years old, where the acceptable uptake target is 80%, compared to those who are 50 years and above, where the uptake often reached 75% uptake (2). Those who live in deprived areas of England are approximately 40% less likely to attend their cervical screening (3).

There are multiple reasons why women and people with a cervix decide not to attend, or delay, their cervical cancer screening appointment or delay their attendance. Factors such as lack of time, having other commitments, and making an appointment is inconvenient (4). One method to overcome these barriers and to reduce inequalities may be achieved through the implementation of a mobile cervical screening unit, including drop-in facility.

Locally from 2021/22 to 2022/23 (Fingertips Public Health Data) we have seen a 1.7% decline in cervical screening coverage between in patients aged 25 to 49 years old. Investment in these services would support mitigation of risks around later stage diagnosis, failing to meet NHS England Cancer Screening targets, as well as other targets that have been locally agreed within contracts.

•	integration, collaboration and service sustainability

Piloting a mobile cervical screening service model is key in identifying whether this method of access supports the increase of cervical screening uptake for women and people with a cervix in Doncaster. This forms part of a wider programme of work within the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw (SYB) Cancer Alliance that aims to improve screening uptake and the early diagnosis of cancer by meeting the needs of people across SYB and continuing to work in collaboration with key stakeholders including the ICB colleagues, PCNs, VCS organisations and Public Health Programme teams.

SYB Cancer Alliance developed and contributed to several projects and action plans throughout 2023/24 to improve local uptake and address inequalities in participation in NHS screening programmes. Partnership working across SYB Cancer Alliance and SY ICB including Place and Public Health England has enabled sharing of insights on health inequalities from projects and/or business intelligence which in turn has supported the development of initiatives and campaigns to reduce inequalities in uptake, in line with Core20PLUS5. Close partnership working will continue in 2024/25 to encourage uptake and reduce inequalities (particularly deprivation-related) within screening programmes and to continue to understand and analyse the impact of targeted work with communities who have the most missed cancer screening programme screening appointments and agree a continued programme of work with these identified communities to increase a focus on screening with other stakeholders.

•	improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice

The cervical mobile screening service contributes towards meeting the national NHSE cervical screening targets ('Proportion of women in the resident population eligible for cervical screening aged 25 to 49 years who were screened adequately within the previous 3.5 years' and the 'Proportion of women in the resident population eligible for cervical screening aged 50 to 64 years who were screened adequately within the previous 5.5 years') and this model is key in identifying whether this method of access supports the increase of cervical screening uptake for women and people with a cervix in Doncaster.

The implementation of a mobile cervical screening service is one method to both facilitate choice and support eligible women to overcome barriers (where lack of time to attending a specific appointment time, having other commitments or trying to facilitate general practice appointments systems is challenging), and also support the reduction in inequalities. Venues chosen include good access links via public transport.

Via a thorough, far-reaching communications strategy, offering a choice of venues and drop-in times, the cervical mobile screening service will offer additional choice to eligible women and people in a different way to current NHS primary care cervical screening services.

Below is an over-view of the Client’s requirements which are detailed and confirmed in the tender documents.
The Client requires the Catering Services Contract to deliver positive economic and social benefits to Wales and services must be delivered with assured statutory compliance - particularly in respect of Food Safety legislation, Health and Safety Law and all other applicable legislation.
The service must reflect exemplary standards of catering industry best practice and must be operated with a management ethos of continuous improvement throughout the contract term whilst delivering best value for the Client and service users.
The contract must maximise resource efficiency (water; heat; power; waste management etc.) and sustainable practices – including support for locally procured food and local food producers; health and wellbeing and Fairtrade.
There are currently 4 office locations in scope for on-site catering services – Cardiff; Merthyr Tydfil; Aberystwyth and Llandudno Junction. The Client requires a café-style service offering a range of hot and cold ‘grab and go’ food and hot and cold beverages and hospitality catering services. There is also a limited / ad-hoc requirement for events and fine dining services mainly at the Client’s Cardiff location.
Whilst there remains some uncertainty about post-pandemic building occupancy numbers, for illustrative purposes the Client anticipates attendance at the 4 catered offices to be circa 50% of pre-pandemic numbers. On this basis, occupancy would be as follows - Cathays Park (1,640 staff); Merthyr Tydfil (297 staff); Aberystwyth (210 staff); Llandudno Junction (338 staff).
The Client also currently has 9 office locations without on-site catering facilities that will require a limited / ad-hoc hospitality food and beverage service. These offices are located in Caerphilly; Newport; Swansea; Carmarthen; Newtown; Llandrindod Wells; Wrexham; Caernarfon and London.
Services provided through the contract must be fully compliant with the Welsh Government’s Welsh Language Scheme. In particular, the contractor will be required to ensure that in all dealings with the public, Welsh and English languages must be treated on the basis of equality - including ensuring that all menu and promotional material, customer surveys and any other information or hospitality booking system content, whether provided in hard copy or through any electronic medium, are fully bilingual.
Security vetting clearance will be required for all contractor personnel engaged in the delivery of the contracted services.
The contract will also include the provision of maintenance services for Client owned coffee machines (semi-automatic bean to cup and barista machines). Additional information: The estimated contract value of GBP 4,000,000 is for the initial contract term and the optional extension period.

description: The project is for the provision of the DNA Museum, Ebrington Square. The new DNA Museum will deliver a world-class attraction and resource to exhibit, explain and explore the rich, unique and fascinating history of Derry ~ Londonderry. The proposal includes the re-use of two Grade B2 listed buildings, set within the historic ‘star fort’ wall of Ebrington Square, on the east bank of the Foyle River. The site itself is historically significant both to the City and arguably the whole of Northern Ireland, with links to the Siege of Derry. The Museum will exhibit collections on the history of the City and provide dedicated research facilities for the internationally significant archive, which tells the story of how Derry-Londonderry has contributed globally to maritime history and other significant events in the city’s past. The new development will restore and enhance the two existing listed buildings – the (665m2) three storey No.49 a former army hospital, constructed c1841; and the (714m2) two storey Nos.45/46 a former games room, constructedc1881, which face directly onto the recently landscaped, south facing, former parade ground. Modern interventions will link and extend the two historic buildings to create the Museum, that will also be respectful of the overall setting. The project will: • Retain and refurbish the two listed buildings, enhancing their historic fabric and creating new purpose for them and improving the visitor experience. • Restore and refurbish the existing external finishes including windows, rendered façade and roof. • Structural works to ensure continued stability of listed buildings and adaption for new use. • Create new dynamic entrance and contemporary public face for the Museum. • The extension to the rear of building No.49 creates a double height, internal circulation route and feature staircase. • New interior throughout to provide modern facilities appropriate for a museum for the 21st century. • Modern finishes throughout with key historic features retained including structural members, historic finishes and the existing staircase to building Nos. 45-46. • A new modern link building between the two historic buildings establishes the flow between the galleries. • The new development will provide a café, permanent and temporary exhibition gallery space, research facilities and staff accommodation. The Integrated Consultant Team and Interpretative Design Team have worked closely together to deliver an exciting educational and interactive visitor experience. This project brings purpose and life back to these historic structures with a fitting use that responds to both the immediate context and wider city background. Please refer to the CfT documents for further details.

description:
The UK Government has consistently supported the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), which are widely regarded as the authoritative international framework to steer practical action by Governments and businesses worldwide on this important agenda. Implementation of the UNGPs supports access to justice and effective remedies for victims of business-related human rights abuses, wherever these occur, and encourage businesses to voluntarily adopt due diligence approaches to respecting human rights. In response to the UNGPs, the UK was the first State to produce a National Action Plan (NAP) on business and human rights and we continue to develop our approach, including through implementation of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Procurement Act 2023.
An NBA would have the primary objective of assessing the current level of implementation of the UNGPs and other relevant business and human rights frameworks by the UK Government and UK businesses.  An NBA would cover the three pillars of the UNGPs:
1.	State Duty to Protect
2.	Business Responsibility to Respect
3.	Access to Remedy
An NBA would clearly identify measures taken by the UK Government that support business compliance with international and regional human rights standards and identify possible gaps in current measures. It would also assess to what extent UK businesses have committed to respecting human rights, including by carrying out voluntary HRDD, and participating in remediation processes. An NBA would help build the evidence base for legal, policy, and institutional options on business and human rights, and might identify further research and data collection needs.
An NBA would be informed by both quantitative and qualitive research using desk-based and participatory research methods including engagement with relevant stakeholders, including but not limited to businesses, government officials, civil society organisations, academics, international organisations and people with lived experience of business-related human rights abuses. The methodology for the delivery of the NBA would be developed in line with guidance and tools developed by the UN Office of the High Commissioner, the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights.
This is not a call for competition or tender at this time. At the EME, suppliers will be given the opportunity to comment on a draft Terms of Reference to inform FCDO’s approach to engaging suppliers and test our design assumptions. Additional information: This EME is scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday 24th July @ 11:00 – 12:30 BST. Please register for attendance for the EME via the guidance below.

title: Unit4 SaaS Contract

description:
The Unit 4 Agresso (Business World Enterprise Resource Planning) application is the system used by the entire council for the management of its finances. The application is essential IT infrastructure as it provides accounting functionality which enables budget allocation and management across the whole council.
This award is lawful pursuant to Regulation 32 (2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with, and in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because competition is absent for technical reasons.
The following details the justification for this:
Unit 4 timing of announcements regarding product changes, coupled with a 12-month timeframe to switch solutions, creates the urgency of the situation. The system is an essential part of the councils IT infrastructure would have a detrimental effect of the running of the council services. Unit 4 have mandated the switch and withdrawn support of the onpremise solution. It will not be possible for the application and the data to be hosted on premise in the future due to the availability of support for third party hosting. The Council could not have foreseen these events and no other economic provider would be able to provide this service
At the present time it would be impossible for the council to procure and implement an alternative economic operator to provide this service. This is because, the supplier will no longer support the current on premise software beyond December 2024 and council risks a non-supported financial system. Therefore it is key that the council upgrades to the cloud software so stability of provision is ensured over the next few years to allow proper consideration of the above mentioned aspects.

description: Information technology services

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The Health Board are anticipating that they will be self sufficient following the end of the 12 months extension. Based on this, re-procurement for the next 12 months would cause substantial cost both in terms of monetary value and staff resource as there would need to be considerable technical resource deployed if another company could indeed provide an immediate comparable platform alternative alongside high training considerations.

description: No changes to the delivery of the service, however, the Health Board require a 12 month extension to the contract.

description:
Lightfoot has become the Health Board’s partner in developing and supporting scaling change through the use of data in a single exclusive platform which provides a unique offering which is detailed as follows;
1. Lightfoot has extensive technical experience in linking together health system datasets from many different sources to provide a timeseries flow view of the patient journey through the whole health system. This automatically refreshes daily for operational use and would take most organisations many months/years to build this facility/capability.
2. Unique Statistical Process Control (SPC) insights from signalsfromnoise (sfn):
a. The SPC visualisation of data is different from traditional reporting tools and is the only operational enterprise-wide platform automatically generating and distributing SPC charts and visualised views of cross system patient journeys.
b. The charts have a unique capability, in that they can provide trended and cyclical views of data which also include predictive analytics.
c. This allows SPC views of patient flow across departments, organisations and multiple organisations, in one single environment, with a live drill down capability to answer any questions across all of the data sets. This is patented in North America and applied for in Europe.
3. Common analytical platform to Canterbury District Health Board: The HB have developed a learning alliance with Canterbury DHB NZ using Lightfoot’s sfn system, enabling comparison analytics between the different systems, departments, patient journeys and clinical cohorts to inform best practice and opportunities for improvement.
4. Live drilldown and clinical challenge: During playback workshops sfn’s instant drilldown capability allows clinicians to ask and answer live “why” questions without the need for further report writing.
5. Live initiative monitoring: The sfn platform is updated with frequent uploads of data allowing it to become the HB’s initiative, monitoring and tracking tool.
6. Outcomes and Quality and Safety Frameworks: The sfn platform provides the option to link to a Canterbury-style outcomes framework in order to connect the HB’s strategic vision to patient outcomes.
The recent delivery workstreams have enabled the HB to test and experience in a live operational application sfn and the implementation methodology, and would now like to take this wider than the initial work. Due to this requirement and the uniqueness of the platform, a three to five year partnership is necessary to give the Health Board the time to continue to develop and embed the approach, grow the capability and capacity, so that we can sustain this in the long term.
In addition, there are a number of implications on the Health Board in regards to time, resource and finances if a contract could not be agreed with Lightfoot, these are;
1. Lightfoot’s system and data is their intellectual property and as such, this would not be transferable.
2. The organisation implication in the reinvestment of HB resources to implement this live system again would be highly significant and detrimental to clinical time and would seriously impact the project progress.
3. Financial investment by the HB has been agreed, however, costs would significantly increase if implementation had to be re-engineered.

description: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue.. . .


title: Air Dropped Weapons (ADW) Disposal

description:
The Specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal & Search (SEEC) Delivery Team are considering initiating a programme of projects to procure a RCE capability and a specialist low order capability to provide the backbone for future Conventional Munition Disposal (CMD) of WWII German Bombs found in the UK. This PIN concerns two projects:
Project 1: Remote Cased Entry
•	A mobile abrasive water jet cutting tool capable of piercing and cutting through WWII munitions to enable removal of Net Explosive Quantity (NEQ) without causing the target to High Order. (Approx qty 5)
•	Total mass a mobile abrasive water jet cutting tool is required to cut through a total mass of 250kg (550lbs), Length up to 1.65m (5ft 5 in) Diameter 368mm (14.5in).
o	Thickness of steel casing shall be released as part of the ITT requirements.
Project 2: Bespoke Low Order
•	A User Filled Container Charge system capable of penetrating WWII munition casings to allow for either mechanical breakup of the target or deflagration without causing the target to High Order. (Approx qty 100)
o	A High Order references detonation of the original munition’s chemical composition in a manner which would have been deemed appropriate if the munitions had functioned as intended when dropped.
The Authority will be purchasing Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) equipment in both projects to provide capability to Defence Explosive Ordnance Disposal Units across Defence. Project 1 will also include an in-service package which may include, but is not limited to:
•	Spares provision
•	Repair services
•	Technical expertise
•	Servicing – where required.
•	Safety & Environmental Management
•	Obsolescence Management
•	Configuration Control & Technical Support
Project 2 will also be required to include, but is not limited to:
•	Spares provision
•	Technical expertise
•	Safety & Environmental Management
•	Obsolescence Management
•	Configuration Control & Technical Support
It is expected that the ADW programme will be split into five distinctly separate projects (two specifically listed within this PIN and three which will be listed in future PINs), with each project having its own development schedule to reaching in-service. Each project is expected to have a minimum of a ten-year in-service life expectancy from the date of manufacture and should remain supportable during that period.
Each contract is expected to have a duration of five years with options to extend by an additional two years. The estimated value of the two projects in totality are approximately £13M (Project 1: est £8.8M, Project 2 est £4.2M).
