title: Extension of contract for Phase 1 software (VO4)

description: Extension of the existing Phase 1 software licence (VO4) to make it co-terminus with the existing Phase 2 software licence (VO5). The two software licences are co-dependant.

description: At WMT's railway stations.

title: Supply of software plus associated hardware and maintenance services for a digital customer information system (CIS) at WMT's railway stations

description: WMT's digital customer information system (CIS) contract with Blackbox Company (UK) Ltd (WMT 2462) runs till the 31 March 2025. Phase 1 software (VO4) and Phase 2 software (VO5) - both of which are covered under the original contract, and are co-dependent (important) to run a compliant CIS system - do not currently co-terminate. This extension to the Phase 1 software (VO4) brings its end date in line with that of the Phase 2 software (VO5), so WMT can continue to provide a full CIS service across its stations. The Phase 1 software (VO4) was to end on the 19 February 2024; both it and the Phase 2 software (VO5) will now end on the 31 March 2025. The extension of the Phase 1 software (VO4) will also strengthen WMT's position ahead of any retender of the contract in advance of its end date.

description: Communication software package

procurementMethodRationale: If the Phase 1 software (VO4) were not extended, WMT would either not be able to provide its customer information system (CIS) at its railway stations at all or it would require another CIS provider to be brought in. The former option would deprive WMT's customers and staff of vital travel information and the latter option would be time consuming (estimated to take about six months) and would cause widespread disruption across the WMT estate. It would also mean that WMT would incur substantial duplicated and abortive costs. The costs that would be incurred without this extension are estimated to be significantly more than double its value, when adding together the estimated annual cost for alternative software plus the cost of the final year of the Phase 2 software (VO5), even though that software would then give WMT no benefit.

This option has not been exercised.

description: Building construction work

procurementMethodRationale:
We refer to the previously issued VEAT Notice (2024/S 000-010444) published on 28 March 2024. The indices values referenced therein are incorrect and the EANI therefore publish this VEAT in order to rectify these indices values. Please disregard the previous VEAT.
To secure continuity, Task Orders issued on/after 1 July 2021 as per VEAT (2021/S 105-278047) are adjusted for inflation, calculated with the BCIS Measured Term Contract Updating Percentages. Inflation from mid-point of original contract to 31 March 2021 is: PSA SOR BCE09 12.6 pct applies to Sections 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of Price List; PSA SOR DEC12 11.9 pct applies to Section 7 Item OT070. Inflation after 1 April 2021 is changed in BCIS MTC Updating Percentages from 31 March 2021 indices, based on TO issue date/latest published index. For travel expenses for Response Task Orders issued outside of the Lot received on or after 1 June 2022, an additional amount for travel has been included.

It is the EA’s intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated. This includes:

Aluminium window systems and associated items comprising glazing, flashings and insulated panels (excluding works to existing aluminium window systems and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);
Aluminium curtain walling and associated items comprising glazing, flashings and insulated panels (excluding works to existing aluminium curtain walling and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);
Aluminium doors and associated items comprising sidelights and fanlights (excluding works to existing aluminium doors and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);
Coated macadam roads and pavings and associated items comprising regulating courses (excluding labours and repairs to coated macadam and associated items);
Asphalt roads and pavings and associated items comprising chippings (excluding labours and repairs to asphalt and associated items);
Proprietary coloured safety sports surfacings (wet-pour) and associated items comprising logos, patterns, graphics and the like; and
Metal fencing comprising chain link, anti-intruder chain link, steel palisade security, roll-top, rigid mesh panel, steel ball-stop and rotating barrier, and associated items comprising straining posts and single and double gates (excluding work to old fencing including taking out, repairs and the like)

description:
The previous VEAT 2024/S 000-004320 issued on 8 February 2024 extended this contract until 31 August 2025 with an option for the EANI to terminate, at its sole discretion, the contract by providing the contractor with written notice of its intention to terminate the contract. The VEAT also detailed an increase to the value of the contract of 6,000,000.00 GBP which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value.
This Notice concerns the above modifications along with the previous VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012070 issued on 12 April 2024 detailing EANI’s intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated.
The overall nature of contract is not altered.
The total value of the extension is 6,000,000.00GBP.
Further information in VI.3 Additional Information section

description: It has become necessary for EANI to further increase the value and extend the period of this contract to 31 August 2025. EANI published VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-004320 on 8 February 2024 detailing their intention to extend to the value and time of the Contract. This was required as additional expenditure has been incurred due to an unforeseen additional budget release by which the consequent additional funding facilitated the performance of additional works and the unforeseen demand particularly in respect of response works and for works to accommodate children with Special Education Needs. These factors, combined with the continued effect of inflation which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Notice or subsequent VEAT Notices, has precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract stated in the previous VEAT Notice. . This extension of the contract is also required due to delays in the ongoing procurement process, which has had the ramification of consequent delays on the next phases of the procurement, which could not have been reasonably foreseen and which has resulted in the requirement to increase the value and period of this contract. . In addition to extending the value and time of the Contract, EANI issued a further VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012070 dated 12 April 2024 outlining their intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated. The overall nature of contract is not altered. The relevant percentage indices to be applied in respect of each exceptional item are set out in the previously published VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012070. . In applying for a price uplift in respect of these Exceptional items, the Contractor will have the choice to either claim the rates in the Price List applying the appropriate indexation percentage or claim under the Defined Costs. If the price of an Exceptional Item has been previously agreed, the Contractor may continue to claim at this rate. The Contractor is not required to produce evidence if they do not wish to avail of the Defined Costs. . Regulation 72(1)(c) permits the above modifications, including the change to the uplift mechanism for exceptional items, the increase in value of the Contract and the extension of the Contract, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. In addition the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is GBP 6 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This contingency includes sums to permit work in other Lots (as per the contract and Regulation 72 (1)(a)). . The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure continued service delivery of the SEN placement programme and in particular the potential of further ongoing response maintenance works as may be required before the contract expiry. . In order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) further permits this as a change of provider: . (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and . (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. . EANI envisages new contract award by no later than 31/08/25 and the contract extension shall permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract before this date upon the provision of three months’ notice..

description: Procurement of License Agreement for Land Cover Plus Crops Licenses that are owned by the Supplier.

description: IT software package

mainProcurementCategory: goods

procurementMethodRationale:
Single Source contract with UKCEH for the Data License due to the Supplier being the only provider of these key licenses. Although this requirement is below the PCR 2015 threshold for supplies and services (£139,688), the justification for single source under regulation 32 (2) (b) of the PCR 2015 for use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication is against reason ii) “competition is absent for technical reasons” – the justification for this is as follows:
o	Due to the specific level of detail provided by UKCEH against the Land Cover dataset, this license provides the requisite performance for the Customer to meet the required outputs and any deviation from this dataset would be detrimental to DEFRA’s mission.
o	The unique maps that only UKCEH can offer provide a dataset of application rates at a fine resolution and national scale. The fertiliser map estimates average fertiliser applications between 2010 and 2015 for the whole of England and the pesticide map looks at average pesticide applications between 2012 and 2017 in England, Wales and Scotland. The data for both is provided at a 1km resolution, showing the kg of the active ingredients per 1km2. This meets the requirements of DEFRA to meet its missions.
o	Due to the scope of the UKCEH Dataset and the unique detail it provides, DEFRA cannot use any other provider.

Re SPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet’s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.
In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested.  The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.
It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender.  If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency.  The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.
In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.

The Tenderer shall co-operate, facilitate, support and assist the Authority in the provision of this information. In the event the Authority is required to provide information to any person as a result of a request made to it under such Act and/or codes, the Authority shall adhere to the requirements of such Act and/or codes in disclosing information relating to this Agreement, the Project documents and the Contractor.
(ii) that references may be sought from banks, existing or past clients, or other referees submitted by the tenderers;

West Lothian Council is committed to maximising Community Benefits from its procurement activities.  Under this procurement, the contractor, and its supply chain, will be required to support the authority’s economic, social and environmental objectives relating to participation in skills development, training and employment initiatives and other value-added contributions.  Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social, economic and environmental considerations.
While the Community Benefits Information will in no way be scored beyond the requirement that it is included in the bidder’s Tender Submission, if the Community Benefits Information contains any Community Benefits, these will be accepted by the Authority via the contract variation process and will be enforceable as part of the contract.  Accordingly, where a contract is awarded to a bidder whose Tender Submission included Community Benefits, the bidder will be required to deliver those Community Benefits as part of the contract.

title: Modification of the All Wales NHS GP Links Messaging Solution contract

description:
The GP Links contract provides message-based integration between secondary care applications and GP Practices in Wales.  The solution procured replaced all previous secondary care to primary care GP Links solutions in Wales and it takes results from Welsh Laboratory Information Management System (“WLIMS”), Radiology Systems (“WRIS”) as well as Screening messages and Accident & Emergency letters from Cwm Taf and sends them to GP Practices across NHS Wales.
In April 2021, DHCW received an urgent request for a new Vaccination Message dataflow to enable the transmission of Vaccine Messages from the BSO Vaccine Management System (“VMS”) and the DHCW Welsh Immunisation System (“WIS”) onto GP Practices.  The Change Control Notice (“CCN”) was issued on an urgent basis as it was required to enable NHS Wales to meet the needs of the national COVID immunisation programme.  This was an urgent unforeseen change as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was unclear at the time whether the new dataflow would be required for the remaining duration of the contract.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The GP Links solution is so bespoke and embedded within DHCWs’ national product set that it would present significant technical difficulties, inconvenience and disproportionate costs to employ a separate contractor to deliver the existing service whilst migrating on to a replacement solution.

minimum:
The 3 financial ratios to be evaluated are:
Profitability - this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio;
Liquidity - this is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to 'one' then it is a pass for this ratio;
Gearing - this is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio.

description:
Please refer to Part 4 B Economic and Financial Standing of the SPD
The College will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidder's financial status.
Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the 'Qualification envelope' that as a minimum, 2 out of the 3 ratios can be met and what the value of each ratio is.
Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, the College may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and the risk to the College, providing that the Bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria. This list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors:
Would the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used?
Were any of the poor appraisal outcomes 'marginal'?
Does the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance?
Does the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years?
Does the bidder have a healthy cash-flow?
Is the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on its debt?
Is most of the bidder's debt owed to group companies?
Is the bidder's debt due to be repaid over a number of years, and affordable?
Have the bidder's results been adversely affected by ‘one off costs’ and / or ‘one off accounting treatments’?
Do the bidder's auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a ‘going concern’?
Will the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee?
Is the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace?
The College will obtain an Equifax Report or similar financial verification systems to validate the information provided.
Please refer to Part 4 B
Bidders must confirm they can provide the following supporting evidence prior to award:
Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5,000,000 GBP
Product Liability Insurance = 5,000,000 GBP
Public Liability Insurance = 10,000,000 GBP
Professional Liability Insurance = 2,000,000 GBP

description: Economic operators must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade registers kept in the member state of its establishment (as described in Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) 2015) (e.g. registered under Companies House). Economic operators should provide details under SPD Question ref 4A.1.

minimum:
Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below:
Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B.6)
The financial information received under SPD, Question Ref. 4B.6 shall be evaluated and scored out of 50 by allocating a score against nine individual economic and financial standing evaluation criteria, namely:
1. Acid Test Ratio
2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio
3. Return on Capital Employed
4. Operating Profit Ratio
5. Net Worth
6. Gearing
7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover
8. Filed Accounts
9. Audit Report
The individual scores shall be weighted , with the most recent (“Year 1”) financial statements weighted at 67% and the previous (“Year 2”) statements being weighted at 33%, to form an aggregated score for each of the nine criteria over the two years.
The maximum cumulative score resulting from the summation of the nine economic and financial standing aggregated scores shall be 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by a Single Economic Operator or a Group of Economic Operators is less than 50 percent of the available marks. The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Public
Contracts Scotland portal www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk.
Where the submission has been submitted by a Group of Economic Operators, the information submitted by each Group Member will be evaluated in the proportion of the percentage shareholdings or percentage equity/interest of each Group Member and a score determined for such Group of Economic Operators on that basis.
Insurance (Question Ref. 4B.5)
In response to Question Ref. 4B.5 Economic Operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement the following levels of insurance:
Employer’s Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP
Public Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP
Professional Indemnity Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP
In responding to Question Ref. 4B.5a, 4B.5b and 4B.5c of the SPD, where the bidder ticks the box “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it”
they shall be marked as FAIL.

description:
Economic Operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. To determine these standards, Economic Operators shall:
(a) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last two years of trading, or for the period which
is available if trading for less than two years;
(b) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.6 provide the name, value and/or range of NINE financial criteria for the last two years of
trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and
(c) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.5 confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance. In addition to the information requested under (a) and (b), economic operators are required to provide a link/copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company) for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if less than two years. This information has been requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought.

minimum:
The minimum standard are set out in the SPD, Part IV Selection Criteria, section 4C Technical and Professional Ability and section 4D Quality Assurance Schemes and Environmental Standards.

Ieso provide online typed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and has been a provider of services in South East Essex since 2017.

Ieso is available without any wait for treatment and provides a secure chat room space in which the conversation with a therapist is typed rather than conducted on a video call.  The treatment is the same, the only difference is that the therapist and patient will type their conversation rather than talk.  This alternative delivery method proven particularly helpful for many of EPUT patients and further supports our digital delivery of services which provides increased access to treatment platforms within Therapy for You.

As this takes place online and is secure there is no need for patients to miss work, travel or other commitments.  It provides an opportunity for patients that may not have a suitable space for therapy to be able to engage with their therapist (eg; lack of child care, multi-generational households).  Research has indicated this method of treatment is just as effective as face to face therapy.
