Blending equipment
Natural gas inlet: Pressure: 75 mbar inlet, Temp: -5 to 40 C, Max consumption: Daily - 25384.11 kWh, Max consumption: ½ Hourly  - 1191.88 kWh, Mean consumption: Daily - 20175.21 kWh, Mean consumption: ½ Hourly - 435.96 kWh
Hydrogen: Max H2 production: 45scmh (4.5kgH2/hr), Pressure: 2 to 7 bar from electrolyser but will be reduced to match the NG inlet, Temp: 60C from electrolyser but short run of pipe to blending tee so -5 to 60C
Blended outlet: Injection into existing 3" steel pipework at 75 mbar
The blending unit will be required to blend up to a maximum of 20% hydrogen by volume into the customers' existing natural gas supply. The injection will take place downstream of the meter where the end use is combustion to provide heat to the customers existing process. The customer process in non-interruptible and should the blend ratio go above the maximum allowable or if there is any failure of the hydrogen supply the blending infrastructure must be able to revert to 100% natural gas in order to maintain supply to the customer.
The blending infrastructure will need to be able to meet the requirements set out in the below Requirements section. These requirements are taken from the recently published FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION FOR HYDROGEN BLENDING INFRASTRUCTURE. WWU will own and operate the hydrogen blending unit and any associated equipment which will be located at the customers site in line with Model 2 in the functional blending spec.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
HYDROGEN PRESSURE REGULATION AND METERING Hydrogen pressure regulation and control is required to ensure there is sufficient pressure at the point of injection into the customers system. Pressure regulation and control shall be to IGEM/TD/13 and or IGEM/TD/23. Hydrogen volume and energy flowrate are required and the metering system shall be appropriate for hydrogen that is compliant with Table 5 of IGEM/H/1 and Table 2 of PAS 4444.
ACCURACY The hydrogen metering system should  meet the accuracy requirements of Table 2 of the Functional Blending Specification in Appendix 1.
HYDROGEN/GCV CONTROL Hydrogen injection rate shall be controlled so as to achieve:
a minimum gross calorific value of gas at the comingled point
a hydrogen content of the blend that is no greater than a  maximum of 20% by volume
a Wobbe index of the blend that is no less than the lower Wobbe limit permitted by Schedule 3 of the GSMR.GAS SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
HYDROGEN SUPPLY Gas sampling and analysis shall continuously or continually monitor the hydrogen supplied to the hydrogen blending unit .
COMINGLED POINT Gas sampling and analysis shall continuously or continually monitor the blend at the comingled point and provide confirmation that it is compliant the minimum requirements agreed with  WWU. A schedule of parameters that shall be monitored is given in Table 1 of the Functional Blending Specification.
Calorific value shall be determined using an instrument approved by Ofgem for determination of calorific values for the purposes of determining the reference point against which flow weighted average calorific value  (FWACV) capping shall apply. The instrument shall comply with the requirements listed in an appropriate Letter of Approval from Ofgem.
ACCURACY The gas analysis system(s) shall meet the accuracy requirements of Table 3 of the Functional Blending Specification in Appendix 1.
REMOTELY OPERATED VALVE A Remotely Operated Valve (ROV) shall be supplied, which shall be capable of manual remote or automatic closure in the event of variation in blend outside of the agreed conditions  or inability to provide sufficient blending where this is practiced. A more detailed description of trip and reset philosophy is given in the Gas Quality and Supervisory system functional block. The means of actuation of the ROV shall be the choice of WWU.
FWACV FUNCTIONALITY The system shall deliver the functionality required for the FWACV regime, namely requirements set out in the Gas (COTE) Regulations. Conditions currently specified include the following:
Acquisition and storage of gross CV of the supplied hydrogen from the approved CV determination device, together with a flag indicating its quality/suitability for use. For non-continual CV determination devices, the System - CV determination device interface shall be such that only one value of each CV determination is acquired.
Acquisition and storage of instantaneous volumetric flowrate of hydrogen at the time of acquisition of gross CV.
Initiation of daily calibration of CV determination device.
Automated tests of apparatus and equipment at periods not exceeding 35 days in accordance with Regulation 6(e) of the Gas (COTE) Regulations. The facility to manually initiate tests of apparatus and equipment either by, or at the request of, the Gas Examiner. Provision of a report of results of automated or manual tests in accordance with Regulation 6(e) of the Gas (COTE) Regulations.
Calculation of the daily average CV of the hydrogen at the end of each Gas Day in the manner specified by the Letter of Direction or by WWU depending on site specific conditions. This will require confirmation of the quality of individual records (records are Good if the CV determination device is operating within agreed limits) and averaging of only those records that are Good and for which gas is flowing past the sample point. In addition, a flag shall be stored indicating whether the resulting daily average CV is Valid (i.e., the maximum time between Good records is less than 8 hours). Gross CV values during calibration or tests of apparatus and equipment shall not be included for averaging.
Acquisition and storage of integrated daily volume at the end of the Gas Day.
In addition to local storage of individual data acquired, appropriate means of secure transfer of data to WWU
Any software and hardware solutions are acceptable provided they deliver the required FWACV functionality, but WWU will require demonstration that the required functionality has been delivered.
GAS QUALITY AND SUPERVISORY SYSTEM The Gas Quality and Supervisory system shall monitor hydrogen and blend quality signals from the hydrogen blending unit instrumentation, the remote monitoring unit instrumentation and the delivery facility instrumentation. Monitoring shall be continuous or continual and provide confirmation that the blend at the comingled point is compliant with the requirements set out by Table 1 of the functional blending specification.
In the event of an excursion in any of the parameters or any other parameters agreed by risk assessment (see 6.2 in the full blending specification document) the trip system shall initiate closure of the ROV on the hydrogen feed and prevent further injection of hydrogen into the customer process. The system should revert to a pure natural gas feed to ensure that customer operations are not interrupted.
The limit values in the parameters of Table 1 are indicative and site-specific values shall be agreed during design approval and may be subject to review if risk assessment confirms such a requirement (see 6.2 in the full blending specification document). All alarms and trips shall therefore be configurable.
If closure of the ROV has been initiated because of non-compliance with the parameters in Table 1 or any other parameters agreed by risk assessment (see 6.2 in the full blending specification document ), then its subsequent opening shall be under the sole control of WWU.
DESIGN APPROVAL ASSETS OWNED BY WWU
Design approval for all assets owned by WWU shall be managed in accordance with IGEM/GL/5 and T/PM/GL/5.
TESTING ASSETS OWNED BY WWU
Pressure testing of all pressure containing components and systems shall be carried out in accordance with Management/Work Procedure PT/1 pertaining to WWU. Testing of electrical and instrument systems and equipment shall be carried out in accordance with BS 7671 and BS EN 60079-14.
COMMISSIONING AND INITIAL VALIDATION
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
All personnel carrying out commissioning and initial validation shall be competent and adequately trained to do so.
A written commissioning procedure shall be agreed and shall take into account relevant Permit to Work procedures.
Initial validation shall be carried out in order to demonstrate the accuracy of the measurement system complies with the requirements of Table 2. Suitable systems, software or procedures shall be provided or agreed to ensure that compliance can be demonstrated.
ASSETS OWNED BY WWU
Following satisfactory commissioning, validation of the flow and gas quality measurement system shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant parts of T/PR/ME/2 or an alternative documented procedure if appropriate.
OPERATION
CONTROL AND MONITORING OF CALORIFIC VALUE
The requirements for control and monitoring of calorific value shall be agreed in the with WWU.
WWU shall at appropriate intervals calculate an appropriate target CV so as to minimise the risk of FWACV capping and communicate its value to the DFO and the hydrogen blending unit.
The hydrogen injection flowrate shall be controlled so as to ensure that instantaneous CV at the comingled point does not fall below the prevailing target CV, subject to:
hydrogen content of the gas at the comingled point shall not be greater than that permitted by WWU
Wobbe index of the gas at the comingled point shall not be less than that permitted by the WWU.
CONTROL AND MONITORING OF GAS QUALITY
Gas Quality of the gas at the comingled point shall be monitored so as to ensure compliance with the requirements set out by WWU. The frequency of monitoring shall be determined though measurement risk assessment.
The supplier will also need to consider :

title: Extra Care Housing North East Lincolnshire

description:
NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB are seeking early engagement with the Extra Care Housing market for organisations with an interest in developing Extra Care Housing within North East Lincolnshire.
Extra care housing, also known as assisted living or retirement living, is a type of housing that offers on-site support to help people live independently in their own homes. It's an alternative to residential care, offering intensive care in the home. Extra Care Housing schemes provide housing with care and support on-site for older people as their needs increase. This on-site support helps them maintain their own home for longer, whilst enjoying a good quality of life. It combines support and independence with safety and security, often meaning people do not have to move as their circumstances change. The support is flexible to respond to individual needs; it can include help with things like cooking meals, personal care (for example washing, getting up or into bed), taking medicine or just getting around.
North East Lincolnshire are seeking to expand their current Extra Care Housing offer (currently 2 existing schemes) with a further 2 sites of an additional 160 - 175 units (locations identified for development).
The purpose of the market engagement is to raise market awareness of the future procurement, to give an overview of our vision for Extra Care Housing in NEL and to seek further information from the market, specifically:
-              Models of ECH - rental (social, or other) /ownership, separated/shared services, documentational set up (i.e. nominations), aged or mixed schemes (and benefits/challenges of these).
-              What is the market's expectation for voids coverage/risk, and timeframes.

The programmes within this initiative will increase knowledge and understanding of individual and collective history and heritage through supporting those who were directly involved in the conflict and their families to speak about their experiences.
There will be 3 separate, but related elements to this programme:
•	A programme to improve the welfare and health & well-being of former politically motivated prisoners.
o	225 Participants

o	460 Participants
•	Practical initiatives to support the inclusion, participation and equality of former politically motivated prisoners, such as advocacy, lobbying, documenting and raising cases where goods or services to former politically motivated prisoners and/or their families are refused, in cases involving employers, insurance providers, or the issuing of travel rights.
o	65 Participants
It is envisaged that an advisory group comprised of those groups involved in the planning phase of this project would oversee the development and delivery of the overall project throughout the delivery phase.
The project will engage 750 participants from different communities from across the city, with 150 wider participants engaged.  The allocated budget for this project is £493,006 (excluding VAT). The Contract shall be effective from the date of award (planned for January 2025 – December 2027).

title: Global Facilitation of HOELT and Associated Services

description:
There is a global requirement for the facilitation of HOELT. This includes design and maintenance of an online platform for customers to book tests and receive results, physical test centres, invigilators, and ID-verification services.
The Home Office has a requirement for HOELT to be taken under UKVI-prescribed secure conditions where secure relates to:
1. Processes to verify the identity of the customer;
2. Ensuring that it is only the validated customer who takes the test and does so under exam conditions with an appropriately trained invigilator to eliminate the ability to cheat;
3. Ensuring results are not released until the provider has completed additional verification checks to ensure that collusion and fraud have not taken place; and
4. Ongoing audits, both internal and via external independent auditors, of the physical test points, processes and delivery systems in order to ensure that the security and integrity protocols are being strictly adhered to.

title: Market Testing for Home Office English Language Testing (HOELT) Services: Second Round Request for Information

description:
SECOND ROUND RFI
This notice is to introduce a second round of market engagement for the testing of a new delivery model for provision of English Language Testing services and gain an understanding of the products, services, and innovations available in the market.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is seeking a second round of input from the market to build a business case to inform future specifications, to ensure that the service is delivered with the highest current levels of security, integrity and customer satisfaction. This market data gathering will include but not be limited to testing the feasibility of potential procurement options and the market's capacity and capability for delivery.
Secure English Language Testing is currently delivered by multiple concessionaires who are responsible for providing their version of the test, test facilities, and all associated services.
The Home Office is planning to move away from a concession model and contract directly with suppliers. The service is also planned to be disaggregated into two service lines: 1) The development, evaluation and ongoing support of a Home Office branded test to be used globally for all HOELTs, and 2) The facilitation of tests globally, including a customer booking platform, test centre provision, invigilation, and ID-verification. The two services will be lotted as outlined below.
The contract value is an estimate only, developed using estimated test volumes, and is therefore subject to change.
The content of this PIN, including the nature of works, services and estimated value, may be subject to change.

description:
Essex County Council and Southend City Council are re-opening the framework agreement
for External Foster Care Services. This Framework Agreement sets out the procedure for
Placements, the terms and conditions for the provision of the Services and the obligations of
a Provider under this Framework Agreement.
Existing IFAs, who are currently on the framework agreement, will be required to confirm
either that there has been no change to its tender response or to confirm what changes have
occurred since its tender response (including any changes to pricing – the Council may, at its
sole discretion, place a maximum cap on any annual re-pricing which may be linked to the
Consumer Price Index) and any changes will be subject to evaluation in accordance with the
published criteria. Existing IFAs also have the opportunity to enter lots they are not currently
apart of.
It is important to note that despite entering the framework agreement, the Customers shall
have no obligation to make placements with any particular IFA under this Framework
Agreement and this Framework Agreement is not a commitment or guarantee from the
Customers to procure any Services or any specific volume of Services from any particular
IFA. Instead, the Customers shall only be committed under the terms of a valid and binding
Individual Placement Agreement formed pursuant to this Framework Agreement. Each
Individual Placement Agreement shall be an independent contract in its own right and
therefore shall survive termination or expiry of this Framework Agreement with the relevant
Page 5 to 12
provisions of this Framework Agreement surviving as necessary until the expiry or earlier
termination of any such Individual Placement Agreements.

Decision maker: WSCC Procurement Board.

No conflicts of interest were declared.
The decision to utilise Direct Award Process C has been taken following assessment of the incumbent provider against the key criteria outlined in the regulations. A summary of the findings is provided below.

1. Quality and Innovation
The provider is delivering a good quality service that follows national guidance relating to this programme. Delivery against local key performance indicators is good and, in the case of the mandated health visitor metrics, the provider performs well compared to national and regional benchmarks. CQC rating is ‘good’ across all areas. There are examples of innovation during the current contract term.

2. Value
Despite population increases during the lifetime of the current contract, the provider has continued to deliver within the original contract value and maintained standards in terms of performance. There are examples of programmes delivering additional value for the Council both in terms of outcomes for residents and savings to other services.

3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability
The provider has demonstrated a commitment to maintain good relationships with key stakeholders and develop effective care pathways. The provider delivers a good programme of support for newly qualified and trainee specialist nurses, which has supported efforts to improve recruitment and retention rates in the context of national workforce challenges.

4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice
The provider has put in place measures to improve access and facilitate choice for local residents, for example expanding the choice of clinic sites. There are programmes targeted at more vulnerable families with the aim of reducing health inequalities.

5. Social value
A large number of employees are local residents and the provider has a volunteer programme in place. The Trust’s People Strategy outlines a commitment to supporting a local workforce, career development and learning opportunities for staff. The Trust has a Green Plan with clear targets that align to NHS net zero targets and these are monitored in annual reports.

The contract will start from 01/04/2025. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £79.4m.
This figure is subject to agreement around NHS Agenda for Change pay awards. These are set annually by the national NHS Pay Review Body and therefore cannot be calculated in advance.
