name: South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran)

rel: canonical

description:
The existing SEStran and Tactran pilots provided journey planning tools that enabled the planning, booking and paying for a variety of  transport services. These tools were ‘powered’ by a shared MaaS platform initially provided by Fuse Mobility, which novated its contract to Ember Technology on 19 February 2024.
SEStran and Tactran have secured additional funding to extend the present contract for a further short 3 month extension to 31 December 2024 at which point Transport Scotland should be in a position to make any decisions on the direction of a national MaaS platform, and whether this could be publicly funded.
Ending the pilot projects before a way forward has been determined for the long term could:
§ Seriously limit the opportunities to take forward the MaaS aspirations. If current MaaS projects stop, there will be a loss of confidence by the public, operators, and partner public sector services.
Conversely, there could also be a lost opportunity to digitally promote new transport initiatives (such as DRT, Mobility Hubs, bike hire schemes and Community Transport etc) via MaaS platforms;
§ Represent a significant loss of investment by all partners in getting this new and exciting technology established; and
§ Whilst MaaS is a growth sector, there are limited MaaS suppliers in Scotland. The lack of a continuous plan for establishing and expanding MaaS will seriously affect the confidence of suppliers to invest in the programme in Scotland. It will also present a reputational risk to those public sector partners involved.
IMPS aims to share the learnings from the Transport Scotland MIF projects, help public sector organisations understand how MaaS could help them to achieve their sustainable objectives, and to help MaaS services grow, learn and develop. We will do this by having open access to an IMPS website, offer advice on design and implementation of a MaaS app, offer the use of the existing apps, and also offer a new ‘grey label’ app via a financial contribution from the third party.
Tactran and Sestran propose to maintain the platform and existing interfaces and continue to make this available to the public until a time when Transport Scotland are able to consider and confirm funding for a new MaaS platform project with the intention that the contract for that project will be fully advertised in a public procurement procedure.

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

ABOUT US: Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) is one of the largest Housing Associations in the country, with more than 66,000 homes across London and the South-East. We provide homes to a range of tenures and are committed to delivering housing that is affordable for all. We build and maintain quality homes, creating diverse and thriving communities.

NHG may also (at its sole discretion) permit use of the Framework by any other contracting authority that is a provider of social housing operating in the Greater London area. This will be at NHG’s sole discretion and may be subject to payment of a usage fee.

title: Investment in Forests and Sustainable Land Use Phase 2 (IFSLU2) Component 5 (MEL)

description:
IFSLU2 is a flagship programme under the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio.
IFLSU2 is a £500 million commitment over a 10-year period, with a first tranche of £195m starting in Financial Year (FY) 2023/24 with a planned end of 31st March 2028. This new commitment of ODA funding will build on a successful first phase of operations through Investments in Forests and Sustainable Land Use (IFSLU1) (£140m, 2015-24).
IFLSU1 worked with the private sector to develop and implement new approaches to business which balance commodity production, livelihoods and forest protection and mobilise investment in protection and sustainable use of forest resources. Results include over £1bn in private investment mobilised into sustainable agriculture, forest protection and restoration. This has improved management across 4.5m hectares of land, benefiting over 250,000 people, mainly smallholder farmers and rural communities.
IFLSU2 will be delivered through five linked components:
• Component 1 – Business incubation, pipeline development, business enabling conditions and demand-side measures. Interventions oriented towards catalysing forest-friendly enterprises in forest landscapes in East Africa, West and Central Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.
• Component 2 – Enhanced support for smallholder farmers. Interventions oriented towards reaching smallholders at scale in order to support their transition to sustainable production in ways that deliver strong developmental and social outcomes.
• Component 3 – Business and market development in the Congo Basin. Interventions oriented towards building the fundamental enabling conditions, capabilities, and structures to enable business-led sustainable production in Congo Basin countries.
• Component 4 – Policy support to catalyse transformational change and action at scale. Interventions oriented towards building political momentum, action, collaboration, demand shifts and policy change through global and regional level collaboration.
• Component 5 – Monitoring, evaluation, learning (MEL) and knowledge: Independent monitoring and evaluation to support programme-wide learning, inform management decisions, programme strategy and delivery and strengthen evidence.
This is expected to mobilise £2bn in private investment; directly benefit 0.5m people, mainly small farmers and poor rural communities; and improve management across over 10m ha of land.
The aim of this Early Market Engagement (EME) event is to inform and consult the market of the upcoming IFSLU2Components 5 (MEL) procurement.

Long term conditions (LTCs) have a significant impact on people’s health and wellbeing; over 111,000 Southwark GP patients have one or more LTC, with over 32,000 living with three or more LTCs (Southwark JSNA Annual Report 2024). The most diagnosed LTCs in these patients are hypertension, depression and obesity. In Southwark, patients from Black ethnic backgrounds are over-represented among those with LTCs (Southwark JSNA Annual Report 2024). As populations age, an increasing number of people suffer from multimorbidity, putting further pressure on the costs and availability of service provision in the NHS.
Health kiosks provide a free, self-service health check, easily accessible in Southwark’s libraries and leisure centres. The specific benefits of this model include:
-	Suitability for those who prefer to check their health independently over attending healthcare appointments or speaking to healthcare professionals
-	Ability to reach target groups without targeted invitations or marketing
-	Low cost per check
-	Ease of data collection and service monitoring
-	Ability for users to check their health regularly and track their measurements over time
The health kiosk offer sites alongside other health check offers in the borough (including the Southwark health outreach service and the NHS Health Check) which have their own unique benefits in reaching residents.
A recent evaluation of programme outcomes demonstrated its ability to increase uptake of health checks amongst key target groups, including men, Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups and the “Core20” (the most deprived 20% of the national population as identified by the national Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD)). The evaluation also highlighted positive outcomes with respect to participants’ knowledge of their health status, motivation to make lifestyle changes and change in health measurements over time. Between July 2021 and May 2024, over 16,900 people used the stations to better understand their health.
The recommissioning of the Health Kiosk Programme will include:
•	expanding the number of stationary kiosks within the borough from six to up to 12, including placing the kiosks in settings such as supermarkets/shopping centres and community centres/faith settings
•	developing a practitioner portal to facilitate direct referrals from the kiosks into the Southwark Healthy Lifestyle Hub
•	making changes to the text and thresholds used within the kiosk ‘user journey’ to align with the Vital 5 health check and NHS guidance and to ensure information about data sharing and age criteria for kiosk use is appropriately communicated
•	piloting the use of a portable version of the health kiosk through the Southwark health outreach service
•	developing language options (Spanish, Portuguese, Bengali and Chinese) for the health kiosks to improve accessibility
Southwark Council will recommission the health check kiosk service via direct award process C to the current provider SiSU, under Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulation 6.
The lifetime value of the service is in the sum of up to £364,500 for a period of three years and two months commencing on 9 February 2025. The contract will end on 31 March 2028.

procurementMethodRationale:
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 award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 6 January 2025, (8 working days following publication of intention to award notice). This contract has not yet been formally awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
Written representations must be sent to rebecca.wycliffe@southwark.gov.uk. The award decision maker panel was formed from Public Health members and all panel members completed conflicts of interest declarations based on Council procedures.
In line with the PSR requirements, a service and provider assessment has been completed against the five key criteria (quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration, and service sustainability; improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice; social value). 'Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice' and 'Value' most greatly impact this service and so hold greater priority than the other criteria. This assessment supports the selection of SiSU as the suitable provider.
