This lot is for Domiciliary Home Care Services for Adults
Milton Keynes Council has adopted the UNISON's Ethical Care Charter and is committed to abide by its recommendations. The over-riding objective is to establish a minimum baseline for the safety, quality, and dignity of care by ensuring employment conditions which
a) do not routinely short-change Service Users and
b) ensure the recruitment and retention of a more stable
workforce through more sustainable pay, conditions, and training levels.
The core hour time allocated to visits will match the needs of the Service Users. For avoidance of doubt, 15-minute visits will not be used under the core hours as they undermine the dignity of the Service Users and are not recommended by the UNISON Ethical Care Charter.
This service is for those residents who have been assessed as eligible for support from adult social care following an assessment under legislation Section 9 of the Care Act 2014
This specification describes the key features of the service and the outcomes required and should be read in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.
The service will offer planned and emergency visits during the core hours between 6.30am and 10.30pm, 7 days a week including all bank holidays and flexible hours between 10.30pm and 6.30am.
It is imperative that Service Users are at the heart of adult health and social care activities receiving services that are easy to access, of excellent quality and that maximise their ability to live independently and safely in their home and community.
In ensuring that the services provide seamless excellent quality Home Care provision the Council and Providers will be committed to working together in partnership through:
Ensuring that Service Users and Carers engage in the development, delivery and monitoring of the service provided and are able to contribute views in relation to how the delivery of the service is achieving individual outcomes.
Developing close links with the GPs, local community, families, carers, and all health and social care professionals within the area
Having a shared vision about the community and individual outcomes which can be achieved through the provision of a superior quality Home Care Service
Collaborating for the benefit of Service Users
Communicating honestly, openly, regularly, and efficiently
Sharing relevant information, expertise, and plans
Seeking to avoid conflict but where it arises ensuring that it is resolved quickly, efficiently, and professionally at a local level with no detriment to the Service User
Monitoring quality and performance, quickly identifying and taking firm and timely remedial action where necessary.
Striving for continuous improvement, reflecting new learning as it
emerges and working together to ensure that available resources are maximised to achieve the best outcomes for individuals and the local community.
Ensuring that provider complies with current legislative requirements of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Recognising that during the period of the contract there are likely to be changes in service requirements at a national and local level, which will need to be responded to in a professional, flexible, and responsive manner, ensuring outcomes are maintained and best use made of resources available.
Home Care is the provision of person centred, personal care, enabling care and/or other services that are necessary to maintain a Service User's quality of life, enabling them to remain living in their own home and achieve their specified outcomes. Home Care is not about doing things for people in a way that increases dependency, but about supporting people to do things for themselves as far as they are able.
The Service will achieve a primary objective of enabling people in the Milton Keynes community to remain living at home for as long as possible and maintaining an excellent quality of life which meets the Service User's identified outcomes.
Home Care services will be available 365 (366 in leap years) days a year between the core hours of 6.30am and 10.30pm. Providers are required to confirm their flexibility
of timing outside of these core hours to reflect a person centred approach to the provision of night support services.
During the enrolment stage (via the DPS), provider will have an opportunity to select their core hours and flexible hours (overnight). The Council will collaborate with the Provider to ensure continuity of care and that the needs of the Service User are met.

This lot is for Domiciliary Home Care Services for Adults
The service is for children and young people with profound and significant learning and/or physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses who have been assessed as a child in need, as set out in the Children Act 1989, the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 and the Children and Families Act 2014. It will provide children and young people and their parents/carers with support that is personalised to meet their individual needs and range from providing personal care in the home to support in accessing community and leisure opportunities.
Children and young people and their parents/carers are at the heart of the assessment and will require services that are easy to access, of excellent quality and that maximises their ability to live independently and safely in their home and community.
Milton Keynes Council has adopted the UNISON Ethical Care Charter and is committed to abide by its recommendations. UNISON's evidence, along with that of other bodies such as the UKHA (United Kingdom Homecare Association), shows that working conditions are intrinsically bound up with the quality of care.
The over-riding objective is to establish a minimum baseline for the safety, quality, and dignity of care by ensuring employment conditions which:
• do not routinely short-change clients; and
• ensures the recruitment and retention of a more stable workforce through more sustainable pay, conditions, and training levels.
The service will offer planned and emergency visits during the core hours between 6:30am and 10:30pm, 7 days a week including all bank holidays and flexible hours between 10.30pm and 6.30am.The time allocated to individual visits will match the needs of the clients. In a few instances the visits required will be short (up to half an hour) and in others, long (between two and four hours). The majority of visits, however, will be between one and two hours in duration.
This specification describes the key features of the service and the outcomes required and should be read in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions of the contract.
In ensuring that the Service provides seamless superior quality (Domiciliary) Home Care provision, Milton Keynes Council and Providers will be committed to working together in partnership through:
Ensuring that children and young people and their parents/carers engage in the development, delivery and monitoring of the service provided and are able to contribute views in relation to how the delivery of the service is achieving individual and community outcomes.

description: The contract can potentially last for 25 years but that is based on it being extended during its term, which will be initially for 10 years but - subject to performance, market demand and availability of capital - is expected to be extended by at least 10 years, on the basis set out in the Information Memorandum, and draft contract documents.

description:
Please see the summary at Section II.1.4 for a summary of the contract and the Information Memorandum, which can be downloaded from The North East Fund's website, for details.
The procurement process will be conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended), using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation as detailed in Regulation 29 of those Regulations.
The Purpose of this procurement is to procure the services of a single FCA regulated fund manager. As outlined in Section II.1.4, above, the contract is expected to have an initial duration of 10 years and can be extended by up to a further 15 years, to 25 years in total.
Please note that the contract value stated in this Contract Notice is an estimate based on assumptions regarding: the fund management fees tendered; the overall quantum of capital which will be committed to the fund; the duration of the contract and the profile of exits from and impairments to portfolio companies. As such, the ultimate fees paid under the contract could be lower or higher than the estimated contract value stated in this Contract Notice.

title: Fund Management Services for North East Early Stage Equity Fund

description:
The North East Fund seeks to appoint a professional, FCA authorised fund management organisation to deliver an early stage venture capital fund in the North East of England. The fund will address the persistent market gap in the provision of relatively small amounts of finance to early-stage and innovative SMEs in the North East of England. In so doing, it will help to unlock regional growth, build confidence in the SME business base and ensure the region is a great place to start-up and scale a business.
The Fund has the working title of "Early Stage Equity Fund" but its final name will be agreed with the appointed fund manager.
TNEFL expects to make an initial commitment of investment capital to the Fund of £35m, which will be invested over an Initial Investment Period of c.5 years - equating to an average annual investment by the Fund of £7m during its first five years of operation. This quantum of investment, and the Fund's investment policy detailed below, is consistent with and will address the funding gaps identified by a market evaluation exercise which was undertaken during the first half of 2024.
In a significant development compared to previous regional investment funds, the profile of this Fund has been developed with a view to facilitating a more 'patient capital' approach to investment - by making provision for the initial 5 year investment period to be followed by further periods of new (and follow-on) investments which can potentially extend to a further 10 years. This period of up to 15 years in which the Fund can make both new and portfolio investments will be followed by a Realisation Period of up to 10 years, giving a potential contract duration of 25 years in total. This will enable the manager to provide support over a longer period than previous funds, which should be beneficial for the Fund's investee companies and should also help to maximise the financial returns to the Fund.
Those returns, and potentially other sources of capital which may be available to TNEFL (for example, from the regional legacy funds overseen by NEA2F) will be used to facilitate the extension of the Fund's investment activity after the initial investment capital commitment of £35m is fully invested.
The extension of investment activity in the Further Investment Periods will be effected by TNEFL providing annual commitments of additional investment capital to the Fund which are expected to be, on average, between £3m and £6m. The actual quantum of each annual additional capital commitment will be notified by TNEFL to the manager as far in advance of the start of each one-year Further Investment Period as is possible, to enable the manager to make plans for its utilisation.
Please see the Information Memorandum for further details. It, and the accompanying documents, can be downloaded from the North East Fund website as indicated in this Contract Notice.

description: The contract can potentially last for 25 years, based on its being extended during its term, which will initially be for 10 years but - subject to performance, market demand and availability of capital - is expected to be extended by at least 10 years, on the basis set out in the Information Memorandum and draft contract documents.

description:
Please see Section II.1.4 above for a summary of the contract and the Information Memorandum, which can be downloaded from The North East Fund's website, for details.
The procurement process will be conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation as detailed in Regulation 29 of those Regulations.

Please note that the contract value stated in this Contract Notice is an estimate based on assumptions regarding: the fund management fees tendered; the overall quantum of capital which will be committed to the fund; the duration of the contract and the profile of exits from and impairments to portfolio companies.

title: Procurement of Fund Management Services for North East Mezzanine and Loan Fund

description:
The North East Fund seeks to appoint a professional, FCA authorised fund management organisation to deliver an SME investment fund which will make predominantly debt-based investments in revenue-generating SMEs based in the North East of England. The fund will address the persistent market gap in the provision of relatively small amounts of growth finance for SMEs in the North East of England, including unsecured loans and mezzanine / quasi-equity investment. In so doing, it will help to unlock regional growth, build confidence in the SME business base and ensure the region is a great place to start-up and scale-up a business.
The Fund has the working title of "Later Stage / Mezzanine Fund" but its final name will be agreed with the appointed fund manager.
TNEFL expects to make an initial commitment of investment capital to the Fund of £35m, which will be invested over an Initial Investment Period of c.5 years - equating to an average annual investment by the Fund of £7m during its first five years of operation. This quantum of investment, and the Fund's investment policy is consistent with and will address the funding gaps identified by a market evaluation exercise which was undertaken during the first half of 2024.
In a significant development compared to previous regional investment funds, the profile of this Fund has been developed with a view to facilitating a more 'patient capital' approach to investment - by making provision for the initial 5 year investment period to be followed by further periods of new (and follow-on) investments which can potentially extend to a further 10 years. This period of up to 15 years in which the Fund can make both new and portfolio investments will be followed by a Realisation Period of up to 10 years, giving a potential contract duration of 25 years in total.
This will enable the manager to provide support over a longer period than previous funds, which should be beneficial for the Fund's investee companies and should also help to maximise the financial returns to the Fund, particularly in relation to mezzanine or quasi-equity investments as it will allow for a longer holding period of share options or warrants, which should give a greater prospect of achieving additional upside liquidity from those instruments.
Although the fund is required to be deployed predominantly via amortizing debt instruments (which must comprise 80% of the Fund's investment by value), it also has the scope to take equity positions where appropriate in companies with high growth potential and thereby to target a good number of potential high-cash-multiple / equity returns.
The Fund is also required  to complete a number of smaller loans, of an average value of £70k. This will enable the Fund to help those SMEs which are seeking to achieve more modest organic growth and are not suited to equity investment but which require a loan (perhaps with a short capital repayment holiday) to help them take-on new contracts and bridge the gap between delivering them and receiving payment from new customers.
The Fund's returns, and potentially other sources of capital which may be available to TNEFL (for example, from the regional legacy funds overseen by NEA2F) will be used to facilitate the extension of the Fund's investment activity after the initial investment capital commitment of £35m is fully invested.

THE NORTH EAST FUND LIMITED

description: Company Owned by Local Authorities

description: Economic affairs


description: The contract comprises an Investment Period and a Realisation Period, which are both initially contracted to last for 5 years but which can both be extended (by agreement) - such that the maximum aggregate duration (of Investment Period plus Realisation Period) will be 20 years.

description:
Please see Section II.1.4 for a summary of the contract and the Information Memorandum, which can be downloaded from The North East Fund's website, for details.
The procurement process will be conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation as detailed in Regulation 29 of those Regulations.
The purpose of this procurement is to procure the services of a single FCA regulated fund manager. The contract will have an initial duration of 10 years, but can be extended by up to a further 10 years, to 20 years in total.
Please note that the contract value stated in this Contract Notice is an estimate based on assumptions regarding: the fund management fees tendered; the overall quantum of capital which will be committed to the fund; the duration of the contract and the profile of exits from and impairments to portfolio companies. As such, the ultimate fees paid under the contract could be lower or higher than the estimated contract value stated in this Contract Notice and, in particular, is likely to be higher in the event that additional capital is committed to the fund which facilitates the extension of the investment period beyond the initial 5 year period.

title: Procurement of Fund Management Services for University Commercialisation and Spinout Fund

description:
The North East Fund seeks to appoint a professional, FCA authorised fund management organisation to deliver a University commercialisation and spinout fund in the North East of England. The fund will invest in companies which have emerged from, or are commercialising intellectual property in conjunction with, one or more of: Durham University; Newcastle University; Northumbria University; The University of Sunderland and Teesside University (the "NE Universities"). In doing so, the Fund will drive innovation and R&D investment in the North East, including through translational research, high quality SME innovation support and the development of nationally significant assets through the promotion of the commercialisation of research and spinout creation from these research intensive institutions.
The Fund has the working title of the "University Commercialisation and Spinout Fund"; its final name will be agreed with the appointed fund manager.
The North East's Universities and the North East Combined Authority share an objective to drive innovation and R&D investment in the North East, including through translational research, high quality SME innovation support and the development of nationally significant assets through the promotion of the commercialisation of research and spinout creation from research intensive institutions.
The Fund will support these objectives by providing risk tolerant and patient investments to relatively high-risk, potential high-growth early-stage ventures which are commercialising research and innovation activity in collaboration with one or more of the NE Universities. The appointed Fund Manager will be required to work closely and collaboratively with the NE Universities to help identify, catalyse and maximise spinout and other commercialisation activity and thereby generate deal-flow for the Fund.
Significant progress has been made on commercialising research and innovation activity at the NE Universities, with collaborative programmes such as the Northern Accelerator helping to achieve over 50 spinouts in recent years. The NE Universities have developed commercialisation systems and deal terms in response to the recommendations of the Independent Spin Out Review and which are aligned with the University Spin-Out Investment Terms guide. The NE Universities have a sizable pipeline of spinout and other commercialisation opportunities which the appointed Fund Manager will gain access to, and will work collaboratively with the NE Universities to help identify those which are best suited to the Fund and have the greatest potential to achieve significant scale

The transfer of commissioning responsibility for public health nursing services for 0-5 year-olds, from NHS England to Nottinghamshire County Council (the Council) in October 2015, brought together commissioning responsibility for all public health nursing services for 0-19 year-olds within Nottinghamshire and offered opportunities for integration.
Nottinghamshire County Council is now seeking to procure an integrated Healthy Child and Public Health Nursing programme for 0-19 year olds, to be operational from 1.4.2017.
The primary aim of the service will be to offer an integrated public health nursing service in line with the Healthy Child Programme to all families in Nottinghamshire. The Healthy Child Programme is the Department of Health's early intervention and prevention public health programme. It offers every family a programme of developmental reviews, health needs assessments and information and guidance to support parenting and promote healthy choices.
The integrated service will deliver:
-
Healthy Child Programme 0-5 years and 5-19 years (public health nursing)
-
Family Nurse Partnership Programme (FNP)
-
National Child Measurement Programme
-
Breastfeeding support
-
Promotion of public health and healthy lifestyle choices and brief intervention, making every contact count.

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This is an urgent modification notice under the NHS Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. 14(2)a, b and c:
(a)an award or modification must be made urgently,
(b)the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the relevant authority, and
(c)delaying the award of the contract or modification to satisfy the requirements of regulations 6 to 13 would be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety.
The modification must be made urgently due to no contract extension periods available on the current contract and therefore outside of the scope of the regulations and is as a result of matters that have arisen, which were unforeseeable and outside the Council's control in response to the 'rapid review' of mental healthcare provision at NHFT by the Care Quality Commission (CQC ).  The extension will give the Council time to take into account the Care Quality Commission (and any other regulatory bodies) actions and recommendations and to consider the best way of delivering the Nottinghamshire HFP in the future.

description:
The modification is to advise of the extension and variation of the Council's contract with Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) for delivery of the Nottinghamshire Healthy Families Programme (HFP) .
Variation 9 - To extend the contract from the current expiry date (30th September 2024) to 30th September 2025 and to amend the Agreement and Service Specification in matters relating to performance management and quality assurance mechanisms,  and appropriate changes to the contractual arrangements to facilitate the management of any contractual issues.
