description:
The aim of the Common Awarding Organisations procurement(s) are to deliver qualifications across 5 areas which meet industry standards and create pathways to employment opportunities.
MoJ has conducted very early market engagement with all Ofqual providers qualified for Mathematics, English, Engineering, Textiles and Catering and Hospitality at the time. This was to seek feedback from potential providers on MoJ’s proposed requirements for Common Awarding Organisations.
The subjects chosen for future Common Awarding Organisations procurement do not restrict future qualification delivery. Prisons will still be able to deliver qualifications in any subject area that is part of the wider curriculum. The only difference is that, for qualifications in subjects outside of the Common Awarding Organisations  procurement, prisons will have the flexibility to choose the awarding organisation that best meets their needs.
MoJ has further developed its procurement strategy and wishes to invite considered feedback on the requirements and proposed tender process to gain an understanding of the market appetite for a competition.

MoJ encourages providers interested in these requirements to respond to this PIN indicating their interest (whether or not those providers were involved in the earlier market engagement).  MoJ would bring to providers' attention that it will be a requirement of the competition that providers are Ofqual qualified or can obtain such qualification prior to any contract award (scheduled for autumn 2024).

Providers wishing to access and provide feedback on the market briefing should contact   providers have a 14 day window from the date of PIN publication in which to confirm their interest to do so, the deadline being 5th March.

In addition, MoJ may invite one or more provider which confirms their interest to participate in one-to-one market engagement sessions. Depending on the level of confirmed interest, it may not be possible to hold such sessions with every provider. In that eventuality, such sessions would be held with a representative sample of providers. MoJ will consider all feedback during market engagement and any subsequent amendments to its procurement strategy will be entirely at its discretion.

This PIN is not a call for competition. It does not commit MoJ to commencing a procurement process and is intended for market engagement purposes only. The value of this PIN is indicative and subject to change should MoJ decide to commence a procurement process.

Across the prison estate, HMPPS and Education Providers (procured by HMPPS) deliver qualifications as part of education, skills, and work provision. The aim is to ensure that prisoners can develop key knowledge, skills, and behaviours through the delivery of qualifications that are recognised by industry experts and the wider community, enabling them to progress towards meaningful outcomes on release, with the long-term aim of reducing reoffending.
In 2016, Dame Sally Coates undertook a review of Prison Education and recommended mandating the use of single Awarding Organisations to deliver services in key subject areas to drive consistency of learning and ensure that prisoners can continue qualifications if they transfer establishments. The Government committed to this in the Prison Safety and Reform White Paper in 2016.
In 2019, the Prisoner Education Framework (PEF) was introduced to deliver core education services across the prison estate. Common Awarding Bodies were procured to support Prisoner Education Framework providers.
In 2021, the Prisons Strategy White Paper was published, this set out the vision for a modern prison estate to create the right conditions to support rehabilitation. A key component in the paper was the commitment to a new Prisoner Education Service (PES) which will:
•	improve literacy and numeracy outcomes
•	incentivise obtaining qualifications
•	increase prospects of work or further education upon release
Prisoner Education Service contracts will commence in April 2025. To ensure consistency in learning, HMPPS will be mandated to use Ofqual Registered Common Awarding Organisations for the following curriculum areas:
1)	Mathematics
2)	English
3)	Catering and Hospitality
4)	Textiles
5)	Engineering
This procurement is to appoint an Ofqual registered supplier for each of the above curriculum areas.
This procurement is run under the Light Touch Regime.
The Authority is using the Jaggaer electronic eSourcing Portal (formerly Bravo) for the procurement. The ITT, which is comprised of a number of volumes, is available only in electronic format via the Portal.

The Framework (Get Started and Grow Business Services) awarded the below suppliers:
Lot 1 - Get Started and grow in Marketing Services, Website build, Logo and Branding - was awarded to Distribute Digital Limited and Cash Cow Marketing Limited.
Lot 2 - Get Started and grow in Social Media and Digital Marketing - was awarded to Concept Marketing Communications and Electrify Marketing & Communications.
Once this tender was awarded, the Council now have an opportunity to expand on this with a pilot scheme called 'Growth Ladder'.
In short, the Council would like to expand the Get Started and Grow Business Services Framework by adding on the pilot scheme, as it's using the same referrals and for continuity
only the awarded suppliers can deliver this.
The original term won't change for Get Started and Grow Business Services Framework. However, the Growth Ladder pilot scheme will run initially until March 2025 supporting 30 businesses with Growth Ladder support. If successful it is hoped that a similar internal budget can be secured for the subsequent years that would allow all 3 stages of this proposal to be met, i.e. up to 2026/27.
The value of the pilot scheme is £150,000 in total.

description: Option to extend for a further 12 months

description:
When heat network zoning regulations come into force we intend to move the SWAN area forward for designation as a heat network zone, or possibly a heat network delivery area within a wider zone, with the successful bidder for this procurement benefiting from the proposed incumbency rules as they apply to the SWAN area. In relation to activities beyond the limits of the SWAN Area the successful bidder for SWAN would need to bid for zone rights through the competed process managed by either the future Zone Coordinator or Central Authority as appropriate.
Duration
The Contract duration shall be for a period of 18 months with optional extension of 12 months.
Type of Agreement
The governance model for SWAN is proposed to be a Development Agreement during the commercialisation phase of Project SWAN (2024-2026). The Development Agreement will set out the key objectives currently envisaged for SWAN, including:
• A low carbon heat network to be developed in the Westminster area,
• The network that is taken to delivery will need to be of sufficient size
• The pace of delivery
The Development Agreement will have bilateral termination rights dependant on certain contingent outcomes primarily focused on:
• Does the project remain viable?
• Has a GHNF grant been obtained for the project?
The Development Agreement will have payment terms that relate to achievement of agreed milestones.
Should the project be successfully commercialised then there would be a decision point about whether to take the project forward to delivery.
Should the project be taken forward to delivery, the Department’s governance over the project from that point onwards would be through the Grant Funding Agreement under the Green Heat Network Fund (assuming the application is successful).
Beyond this, the Department’s long-term objectives are intended to be achieved through regulations regarding customer protection, technical standards and potentially heat network zoning, should the SWAN area be designated as a heat network zone, from 2025 when these regulations are due to come into force.
Timeline (all dates are indicative only and subject to review) - please see the provided documentation.

DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.
All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) wishes to establish a Contract for services to commercialise a low carbon heat network within Westminster and then coordinate its delivery should the commercialisation be successful.
The South Westminster Area Network (SWAN) is a heat network opportunity within Westminster that has been developed so far as part of the Department's wider Advanced Zoning Programme. It estimates annual heat demand in excess of 400GWh/y when fully built out. The Department is looking to select a Development Partner with the skills and resources necessary to commercialise a low carbon heat network within Westminster and then deliver it should the commercialisation be successful. The Department and its consultants have engaged with a number of stakeholders across Westminster and have had positive feedback on the proposal to develop a large-scale low carbon heat network in the area. Westminster City Council and the Westminster Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are supportive of the project and will engage directly with the Development Partner when selected.
The successful Development Partner will be paid by the Department a fee to commercialise SWAN. The cost to the Department of these commercialisation services will be part of the bid process but would be limited to a maximum of £1m and would be governed by a Development Agreement between the Department and the successful bidder over the commercialisation period. An application has been made to the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) for an additional £1m of commercialisation grant and £40m of construction period grant. A decision on whether this has been successful or not is expected to have been made during the procurement period (currently expected to be April-July).
How to Apply
DESNZ will be using the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal for this procurement.

periodRationale:
LCP and many of its members have 5-year capital programmes. A significant proportion of the capital expenditure will be focused on providing new affordable homes, housing refurbishment programmes including the retrofit of carbon reduction and environmentally friendly schemes to ensure homes are energy efficient and are decent places to live.
The establishment of housing frameworks of this nature can be costly and time consuming, it is therefore the intention to establish this Framework for a period of five (5) years to align with the capital programmes and provide a consistent contractual vehicle to secure these works.
Haringey Council has committed to delivering a further 1,000 affordable homes by 2032. LCP's members have similar challenges in trying to address the housing crisis and it is contemplated additional medium to large housing schemes will be procured through this Framework.
It is contemplated there will be a mixture of short-, medium- and long-term contracts let through this Framework, with a pipeline of four long term (5+5 year) partnering contracts of between £160m and £200m each in 2024 to support the Council's decent homes programmes.
The GLA have indicated £24.5bn of funding will be made available to support housing from 2026 - 2031. This Framework is intended to support LCP's members in being able to provide a flexible and compliant route to market to support government funding requirements. A 5-year Framework provides incentives to suppliers to recruit and train staff, as well as access to savings through aggregation of purchaser demand.

description:
LCP on behalf of Haringey Council has awarded a new major works framework specialising in housing and residential, to replace the existing major works framework. Scope of works will include new build housing, MMC, planned maintenance, retrofit, fire safety works, refurbishments and adaptations.
It has been established for a period of 5 years and will be available to any public sector body in London and the Home Counties.
The London Construction Programme (LCP) was established in 2012 by Haringey Council, supported by other London Local Authorities, to develop a pan-London strategy to improve construction procurement. The LCP is a 'virtual organisation' hosted and operated by Haringey Council's Strategic Procurement Team, led by the Chief Procurement Officer within the Council.
The new Framework is to provide housing construction and housing construction related activities for new build developments, housing related planned maintenance, fire safety, retrofit and refurbishments according to the Lot Categories.
The services will be available in 9 lots:
Lot 1.1 New Build £5-£15m contract value
Lot 1.2 New Build £10m-£25m contract value
Lot 1.3 New Build £20m+ contract value
Lot 1.4 Single Stage tendering, £5m+ contract value
Lot 1.5 Modern Methods of Construction, £5m+ contract value
Lot 1.6 Passivhaus or equivalent, £5m+ contract value
Lot 2.1 Planned maintenance and fire safety works £1m+
Lot 2.2 Retrofit, refurbishment and adaptations
Lot 2.3 Multi-use, £1m+ contract value
LCP has reserved places for micro-, small-, medium- and large-enterprises on different Lots in order to encourage SMEs and provide choice for its Clients.
The framework has been established with four main objectives in mind:-
1. To support its Clients to deliver on their net zero commitments in the following areas:-
• Biodiversity assets
• Climate Change adaptation
• Zero Carbon Supply Chain
• Low Carbon Transportation
• Operational Low Carbon
2. To provide a fast and efficient route to market for housing schemes across London and the Home Counties that offers value for money.
3. To drive positive change in mental health and equality, diversity and inclusion in the construction sector.
4. To apply best practice, unlock innovation and work collaboratively with its Client and the Supply Chain.
