This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under 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 contract award is urgent to enable continued provision of medical oversight at Albion Mill. The full provision at Albion Mill is under review and until this full review is concluded the medical oversight provision needs to continue.  However the incumbent provider for the medical oversight served notice to the ICB whilst the review was underway.  The incumbent provider were working with Shifa Surgery who directly delivered the provision.  This urgent award will therefore enable the ICB to contract directly with Shifa Surgery, continuing the established model of care which is the safest possible option with the least associated risk to patients. This will provide stability, continuity and minimise risk to the service and ensures continuation of patient safety.
The contract award was urgent due to these circumstances being unforeseen, the short timescales involved (both to ensure service continuity and as this is part of a 12 month test of change/review) and potential risk to patients if medical oversight continuity is not ensured.
The ICB's CFO approved this urgent award on the  04/07/2024.
No conflicts were declared.

Disability Positive are able to provide statutory and general advocacy for the patients on secure wards who have complex needs.  They have previously run several clinics on site which have been well received by patients and staff.
The patients build trust in the advocate, and it is important there is continuity of the service.
They have a proven track record of delivery exceptional services to patients in a secure unit and working around boundaries.
Quality & Innovation
Regular feedback from patients feel they provide a valuable service. DP join the ward in an informal setting, no appointments are required. Peer review carried out by another Trust and feedback was obtained and was scored positively about the advocacy service.
DP have provided posters around the ward with photos of the advocates so the personnel is familiar to the patients.. Cover for annual leave has been introduced to the ward so no strangers are introduced ad hoc, and there is a handover of the service.
Value
DP offer a wider range of advocacy services more than alternate providers particularly around finance & benefits.
A change of provider to this service would have an adverse effect to the patient on the wards as change is not managed easily by the patients. DP provide a dedicated advocate for the each of the two wards, where as previous provider there was only one advocate, so much better value for money, and much better patient experience.
Integration, collaboration and service sustainability-    DP will support with phone calls and filling forms for patients are who are unable. They offer advice and help with practical tasks and influence change in government policy.
They advise on  DP attend weekly patient meetings so are inclusive of the patient journey and any issues arising from the wards. DP provided a Interpreter to assist with a patient who required the service and their needs.
Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice-
DP attend weekly patient meetings so are inclusive of the patient journey and any issues arising from the wards. DP adapt to the patient and their needs, and their access to the service. Due to the vulnerability of the patient cohort DP adapt to each high risk patient. DP open up opportunities on ward as the patients cannot leave the ward.
Contract meeting with provider are productive and meaningful.
Social Value
DP values are to be representative, collaborative, trustworthy, positive ambitious. They are a disability confident leader, and a  living wage employer. They host an annual event which collaborate with local community organisations to provide information to individuals on the services available.  DP encourage staff and volunteers from people with lived experience of disability and long-term conditions.
The decision makers of the process were Head of Clinical Services & Head of Operations for Specialist Mental Health.

description: Tender notice on Find a Tender

description:
The Department for Education is seeking to appoint a delivery partner through a new procurement process to continue, build upon, and enhance the National Centre for Family Hubs’ (NCFH) role.
A Prior Information Notice (PIN) was issued for this requirement under the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015 on both Contracts Finder (National Centre for Family Hubs and Integrated Family Services - Contracts Finder) & Finder A Tender Service (National Centre for Family Hubs and Integrated Family Services - Find a Tender).
A Market Engagement Event was subsequently held on 10 February 2025 in accordance with PCR 2015. The slides and Question & Answer document from this event have been uploaded to Jaggaer.
The Family Hubs and Start for Life programme is a significant national initiative designed to improve outcomes for children and families by providing integrated, accessible, and community-based support.
Family Hubs operate as integrated services, simplifying the process for families to access necessary support. Instead of engaging with multiple agencies separately, families can find all the assistance they require in one location—whether through physical hubs, outreach services, or digital platforms. This approach enhances service coordination, reduces redundancy, and ensures a more efficient response to family needs, particularly for those facing disadvantages or vulnerabilities.
The successful supplier, as a delivery partner, will deliver a National Centre for Family Hubs (NCFH). This centre will provide support to Local Authorities (LAs) in the implementation of the Family Hubs programme between 1 June 2025 and 31 March 2026.
For further information, please access the ITT documents via the Jaggaer e-Procurement platform (itt_3445).
The Department will be holding a Market Engagement Event on 31 March 2025, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.
1.	Potential suppliers are invited to participate in this tender engagement session, which will be facilitated via Microsoft Teams.
2.	The session will be led by representatives of the Department for Education and will focus on the programme’s requirements, the tendering process.
3.	To register your interest in attending, please use the messaging facility in the Jaggaer Portal and include the email contact details of all attendees in your message.
Attendance is not mandatory. Slides and any Q&As from the session will be uploaded to Jaggaer following the event.

description: Data of TEAMS briefing was incorrectly noted as being 25th February 2025. Corrected to 25th March 2025.

description:
Following completion of the Preliminary Market Engagement process, Rushmoor Borough Council - the 'Council' - will undertake a formal procurement process to appoint a leisure operator to manage both the existing Aldershot Pools & Lido, and a proposed new leisure centre in Farnborough. The new Farnborough facility will be located in the regenerated Civic Quarter, which seeks to provide a new community heart in the town centre.
The new Farnborough Leisure Centre, which is currently scheduled to open late 2027 / early 2028, will proactively address identified community needs aligned to health, physical activity and social wellbeing.
The leisure operator appointed via the subsequent formal procurement process will manage both the Aldershot and Farnborough facilities, with the contract split into two distinct phases: (i) the Interim Phase, during which the contractor will manage the Aldershot facility and provide pre-opening services in relation to Farnborough, and (ii) the Main Phase, during which the contractor will fully operate both facilities.
The Council is currently targeting award of the contract to the successful Operator by the end of February 2026. The Interim Phase of the Contract is planned to commence shortly afterwards, at which point the Operator will be required to commence delivery of services at the existing Aldershot facilities.
The Council's target date for opening of the new Farnborough facility is late 2027 / early 2028, at which point the contract will enter its Main Phase. The duration of the Interim Phase is dependent on the date the new facility is ready to be opened, but is likely to run for around 18 to 24 months.
Payment of a significant management fee - and a surplus share - to the Council is an important part of ensuring the business case to deliver the facility is robust and allows for the proposed development to proceed.
The key specific priorities for the Council which are developed within the operational specification are:
•	To increase physical activity and participation through the activities in our Leisure Facilities
•	To ensure leisure facilities will promote and address improved physical and mental health and well-being in the borough
•	To ensure that mental and physical health is addressed through a wide programme of activities, both within the Leisure Facilities and on an outreach basis
•	Employment of a Health and Wellbeing Officer to establish links with local health and care services and providers to provide pathways into physical exercise and wellbeing activities, particularly for residents with poorer health outcomes.
•	To ensure that opportunities for active travel are promoted
•	To reduce energy consumption in the operational delivery of the contract to support the Authority's ambition to become carbon neutral
•	That in operating the Leisure Facilities there is a focus on both income generation and social outcomes.
Ensuring that children and young people start to become physically active from an early age, adults integrate physical activity into their everyday lives, and older people stay active are key principles for this new operational management contract. The Council wishes this operational management contract to focus on:
•	Improving the health and wellbeing of the whole community
•	Contributing to reduced obesity levels, particularly for priority groups
•	Contributing to improved mental health levels in the community, particularly for priority groups
•	Increasing levels of participation in physical activity and sport through behaviour change
The Council has identified the following key Strategic Priorities for the Services to be delivered by the Operator Partner which are designed to contribute to the Council's wider local Strategic Outcomes.
•	Deliver high quality Services that meet the Performance Standards and exceed customer expectations
•	Deliver financially and environmentally sustainable Facilities
•	Ensure Facilities are maintained to a high standard throughout the life of the contract
•	Increase inclusive opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity, from beginner to performance level for all sections of the community
•	Increase activity levels from underrepresented/priority groups identified as having no or low levels of physical activity including people with disabilities and their priority groups
•	Improved access to Facilities, activities and opportunities for priority groups that participate less in sport and physical activity, including people with disabilities
•	Provide wider social value through strong and positive engagement with partners/community
•	Support the development of local sports clubs to deliver
•	Ensure programmes and activities provide maximise use of all the Facilities
•	Ensure Facilities remain commercially attractive, recognising that a quality environment attracts participation.
The Operator will be required to achieve and maintain the Sport England recommended Quest Facility Management accreditation scheme (or any equivalent successor scheme) for the Facilities, and Quest for the Active Communities Programme (Health and Wellbeing Development Programme). This should be obtained by:
•	The end of Year 2 of the Main Phase of the contract for the Health and Wellbeing Development Programme.
•	The end of Year 2 of the Main Phase of the contract for the new Farnborough Leisure Centre and Aldershot Pools & Lido for the Facility Management accreditation.
The Operator will be required to achieve and maintain a minimum standard of 'Excellent' for the Sport England recommended Quest ™/Quest ™ Plus Facility Management accreditation scheme (or any equivalent successor scheme) and Quest ™/ Quest ™ Plus Active Communities scheme for the outreach Health and Wellbeing Programme.
The envisaged partnership and operational management contract will operate on an open book basis. The contract has been developed using the Sport England model as set out in its latest Leisure Services Delivery Guidance (LSDG), format but has been updated to reflect relevant changes since the pandemic relating to CIL, risk and utility benchmarking.
During the Interim Phase, the Council is proposing to contract on a 'fixed fee' basis. The Council will pay the Operator a fixed annual 'Contractor Management Sum', (sum tbc), in quarterly instalments. The sum will be set by the Council and may be adjusted through the procurement process.
It is envisaged that the Operator will then issue the Council a monthly invoice in respect of a Monthly Service Charge, (operating costs and expenditure, minus all operating income plus an apportionment of the quarterly 'contractor management sum'). This will in effect underwrite any losses incurred by the Operator on a dynamic open book basis which protects against under and over payments.
Upon opening of the new facility, the payment model will be subject to a fixed management fee, (a payment to the Council), plus % open book surplus share. Whilst the Council will require a fixed management fee and surplus share, tenderers may have the ability to profile fees and surplus share percentages.
The Council will be seeking a hybrid approach in relation to servicing and maintenance of the sites. The Operator will take on full delivery and risk for all aspects of facilities management, servicing, reactive maintenance and lifecycle maintenance for the new Farnborough Leisure Centre.
In respect of the Aldershot site, the Operator will be required to take on responsibility and risk for facilities management, servicing and reactive repairs but will not be required to take on lifecycle maintenance responsibility.
It is envisaged that the Operator will take risk on all costs of operation, other than in respect of utilities where the Council may accept risk in respect of tariff fluctuations. The Council's starting position will be that consumption risk will still sit with the Operator.
Where possible and where it is in the interests of the achieving best value, the Council may allow access to any advantageous utilities rates that it has leveraged from the market.
In respect of the new Farnborough Leisure Centre, a utility benchmarking exercise will be undertaken twelve months after the opening of the new facility to assess any change in tariff rates.
The finalised speciation will be based upon the Sport England template as set out in its latest Leisure Services Delivery Guidance (LSDG). The scope of services that the Operator will be responsible for can be summarised as:
•	Equipment fit out of the new Farnborough Leisure Centre
•	Operation, programming, activities & events
•	Marketing, promotion & communication
•	Customer on-boarding, booking, account management, website, back office & customer service
•	Facilities management, Health & Safety management, Servicing, Repairs & Maintenance
•	Open book performance reporting, partnership working & continuous improvement
The annual estimated value of the Contract in respect of turnover generation for the Interim Period is in the range of £1.2m to £1.6m. Estimated turnover per annum for the Aldershot facilities is highly variable as usage of the Lido is directly impacted by weather conditions. Turnover for the Aldershot Pools is currently c.£1.1m, with turnover for the lido varying between £150-£450k.
In respect of the new facility the current business case projections, which are based upon local demand forecasts and industry benchmarking, are that operations, activities and events run from the new centre that fall within the scope of this contract could generate in excess of £2.5m turnover per annum.
The duration of the Interim Phase is dependent on the date when the new facility is ready to be opened but is likely to run for around 18 months to 2 years. Once the new facility opens the Contract will then run for a further 10 years. The contract may be subsequently extended by up to a further 5 years.

description:
Rushmoor Borough Council - the 'Council' - is seeking to engage with suitably experienced leisure facility operators in respect of a forthcoming contracting opportunity for the operation of a planned new leisure centre in Farnborough. The contracting opportunity will also encompass operation of the Council's existing leisure centre and lido facilities located in Aldershot.
To ensure effective engagement with operators, and in the interests of transparency and fair & equal treatment set out within the Procurement Act 23, the Council has instigated this Preliminary Market Engagement process via issue of a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice on the Central Government Find a Tender Service / Central Digital Platform.
As detailed within a recent report taken to the Council's Cabinet on 11th February 2025 the Council has a number of key decisions to make in the coming months in respect of the final design, business case, programme and operating model for the new leisure centre.
The Council's Cabinet has approved the recommendation to commence a procurement process to secure an operator in advance of proceeding to finalisation of design and construction of the new facility.
As outlined within the report, it is vital that the Council has a clear binding position on the commercial arrangements with the operator market by September 2025 via this procurement process in order to obtain Cabinet approval to proceed to detailed design.
The Council then envisages undertaking a further round of tendering in order to optimise proposals and identify a most advantageous preferred bidder for the leisure operator contract in parallel with undertaking the detailed design process. The Council is then targeting to seek Cabinet approval in February to proceed to award of contract to the preferred bidder and enter into the design finalisation & construction phase of the new centre development project in that order.
Prior to undertaking the formal procurement process, which is currently targeted for commencement in April / May 2025, the Council is seeking to undertake preliminary market engagement discussions with suitably experienced operators to review in summary:
•	Design & Facilities Mix
•	Operations, Costs & Demand
•	Commercial Arrangements & Financing
•	Risk, Contract Form & Contract Duration
•	Procurement Process & Programme
The Council will run an on-line briefing via TEAMS on Tuesday 25th March 2025 between 15:00 and 16:00 where further information will be shared in relation to the design of the new centre, new centre opportunity analysis, current business case, operator specification, contractual terms, etc. Following the briefing the Council will then undertake 1-1 discussions with suitably experienced operators between Tuesday 1st April - Thursday 3rd April 2025.
The Council has 6 slots available in total which will be allocated on a first come first served basis to operators who can certify that they can evidence stated levels of minimum experience which include,  but are not limited to:
•	Mobilisation of operations at a new facility which is similar in size and scope to the Council's envisaged new centre
•	Providing a significant income stream to the client
•	Providing a balanced programme of activities to maximise participation, engagement, physical activity and reduce health inequalities
•	Partnership working and open book accounting
•	Managing a facility which includes a swimming pool of no less than 25m length
•	Operating a leisure facility on a full repair & lease basis
•	Operating a leisure facility on a concession model where the operator takes risk for demand
Operators who are interested in attending the briefing session and a subsequent 1-1 meeting must complete and return Expression of Interest, Conflict of Interest Statement and Non-Disclosure Agreement by no later than 12:00 Monday 24th March 2025 via the Council's Pro-Contract e-sourcing system.
Operators are required to state which meeting slots they are able to attend and state order of preference for the dates and times available within their completed Expression of Interest form. Operators will be allocated their preferred slots wherever possible but priority will be given on a first come first served basis. Should more than 6 compliant applications be received by the deadline stated above the 6 slots will be allocated to operators in order of receipt from earliest first.
The Council will conduct a Briefing session on Tuesday 25th March between 15:00 - 16:00 remotely via TEAMS. Operators who have submitted compliant applications by the deadline stated will be invited to the briefing and issued with a Teams link to all of their named attendees / delegates at least 1 hour prior to the briefing start time. Where more than 6 operators have applied priority will be given based upon application receipt.
Only one briefing will be held, however the briefing will be recorded via Teams and will be made available to Operators after the event.
All 1-1 meetings will be held remotely via Teams. The Council has made the following 1-1 meeting slots available. Operators are to state which they can attend and state their order of preference. Meeting slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis and will be confirmed to Operators at least 2 working days before the earliest meeting slot.
Following confirmation by both parties the Council will issue a Teams link to the Operator's attendees / delegates at least 1 hour before the 1-1 meeting.
•	Tuesday 1 April, 3.15pm - 4.30pm
•	Wednesday 2 April, 9.30am - 10.45am
•	Wednesday 2 April, 11.00am - 12.15pm
•	Wednesday 2 April, 1.00pm - 2.15pm
•	Thursday 3 April, 9.30am - 10.45am
•	Thursday 3 April, 11.15am - 12.30pm
Operators will only be invited to attend the briefing and subsequent 1-1 meetings where no conflicts are declared which cannot be mitigated, where the Non-Disclosure Agreement has been appropriately signed without any material amendments and where the Expression of Interest form has been fully completed including for self-certification of meeting all stated minimum experience requirements.
Where operators have any questions in respect of the participation requirements, process or any other matters these must be addressed to the Council via it's e-sourcing system Pro-Contract using the correspondence function.
Operators have the option of providing a brief presentation at the 1-1 meeting and supporting summary report, although this is not a mandatory requirement and operators who do not wish to provide information in these formats will not be disadvantaged in respect of the Preliminary Market Engagement and subsequent formal procurement processes.
Similarly, operators should note that there is no obligation to take part in this preliminary market engagement exercise and that if they do not take part, it will not preclude them from the subsequent related procurement process. Engaging operators will not receive preferential treatment in any procurement tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work.
Following completion of the Preliminary Market Engagement process the Council will compile a summary report in accordance with Procurement Act 23 requirements which, without breaching commercial confidentiality for all parties, outlines participants, meeting dates, summary agendas and high-level findings.
The Council will also compile operator specific summary reports which include for detailed information and which will be kept strictly confidential. This will include for all detailed discussions in respect of commercial arrangements, costs, demand projections, etc. The Council will issue the high-level summary report to all operators who take part in this process and share the operator specific detailed reports with the relevant individual operators during April 2025. Operators will be given the opportunity to review the content of the reports and provide any comments / required amendments before they are finalised.
To ensure compliance with fair & equal treatment principles set out within the Procurement Act 23, and not creating advantage or disadvantage that cannot be effectively mitigated, the high-level summary report is likely to be included within the procurement documents issued as part of the subsequent formal procurement process. The operator specific detailed reports will not be shared.
As some of the documentation and information that will be disclosed is not ready to be issued in the public domain the Council requires that intertest operators complete and return the Non-Disclosure Agreement by the deadline stated. Any questions regarding this document should be addressed to the Council via Pro-Contract.
The Procurement Act 2023 requires the Council to identify and keep under review actual and potential conflicts of interest. The Council must also mitigate conflicts of interest and address circumstances which the Council considers are likely to cause a reasonable person to wrongly believe there to be a conflict or potential conflict of interest.
A conflict of interest arises when an individual's personal interests, relationships, or activities have the potential to interfere with their impartiality or the integrity of the procurement process. This may include financial, personal, familial, or business interests that could improperly influence, or be perceived to influence, their decisions or actions.
To meet current and future conflict of interest obligations, the Council requires that all contractors participating in the SMT process complete and return Conflicts of Interest Declaration as a condition of participating in the Microsoft Teams briefing event and 1-1 meetings.

description: The Authority intends on placing a contract with 2 guaranteed years and 3 x 1-year options. The first 2 core years and the potential 3 x 1-year options will be priced and then subject when appropriate to VOP. The contract value included in this advert is a ROM cost if all 3 yearly options are taken up by the Authority. The Authority withholds the right not to take up any of these options. The ROM cost of this contract if no yearly options are enacted by the Authority will be £50M GBP. This contract award is subject to negotiation with the referenced supplier.

description: The Training Simulation Systems Programme within Defence Equipment and Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to place with Cubic Defence U.K (CDUK) a 2-year contract with up to an additional 3 x 1-year option years for the provision of Contractor Logistic Support, Support Repair and Post Design Services for the MoD owned Area Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-A). ILT-A enables the simulation of area effects such as fire missions, danger areas like minefields, and permits the tracking and monitoring of participants (players) while dismounted, in vehicles and structures. The system provides man worn and vehicle instrumentation and an engagement capability for lighter weapons, as part of collective training. It simulates and records the effects of weapon engagements and enables realistic and challenging training. The contract will also allow for further developed instrumentation for Combined Arms Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX) along with potential for future Vehicle Integration. There is also a possibility of expansion of the systems into currently undefined training areas globally.

description: Repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems

procurementMethodRationale:
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.  It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for Technical Reasons.
Cubic Defence U.K (CDUK) are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Design Authority (DA) for the ILT-A. They are the only supplier who has access to the necessary technical data, source code and design drawings to be able to provide the support and upgrade services required. Further, only CDUK have the specific skills, know-how and experience to provide Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) for the maintenance and repair of existing equipment and managed services, and Post Design Services (PDS) for modifications and design alterations/enhancements to the existing equipment which they have built up over a number of years as the OEM, support and upgrade provider and DA for ILT-A. Performance of the intended contract also requires access to ITAR controlled information and CDUK is the only entity authorised to receive this information. In addition, ILT-A is required to integrate with the MoD’s Direct Fire Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-D) capability, to provide the MoD with a Tactical Effect Simulator (TES) capability — a fully integrated combat training system. If another supplier was to attempt to provide the support and upgrade services required for ILT-A then this would also risk significant technical inter-operability issues with ILT-D/TES.

This contract has been awarded under 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.
Pathway Associates are the longstanding existing provider for this service that has previously been conducted under a spot purchase agreement. The introduction of the PSR resulted in the ICB having to consider a compliant PSR route for the future commissioning of this service, to replace the current spot purchasing arrangement, under very tight timescales. An urgent short term solution was required to allow the timescales to consider the most suitable PSR route for the longer term contracting arrangements.   The ICB have met the requirements  within the PSR guidance for an urgent award and delaying the award of the contract and creating a gap in service provision to conduct a full application of the PSR would have posed a risk to patient safety and the non-delivery of the ICB's statutory duty, as CETRs are a statutory responsibility.
The ICB's CFO approved this urgent award on the 03/10/2024.
No conflicts were declared.

title: Purchase of 1 x Wheel Loader inc R&M

description: Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation

procurementMethodRationale:
The Council published a notice calling for competition on the Contracts Finder website on 1 August 2024 (Titled: CWC23178B - Purchase of 1 x Wheel Loader inc. R&M) (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8418f98f-dda1-41fe-96a0-934931119b47)  and received 5 tenders of which 2 were compliant. 3 tenders were rejected as non-compliant.
The Council completed the procurement process and awarded a contract to the economic operator identified in this contract award notice. However, the Council subsequently identified that in error the Council had failed to select the correct settings within the procurement portal to have a contract notice published on the Find a Tender Service website.
The Council considered whether to conclude the procurement processes notwithstanding that accidental omission and concluded that it was rational to do so on the following basis:
1) The Council provided transparency to the supplier market by publishing a notice on the Contracts Finder website. The Council considers that it is likely that suppliers wishing to deliver and supply services in England registered to Find a Tender Service would also register to Contracts Finder and would have identified the existence of the opportunity as a result.
2) The Council received tenders from 5 suppliers and concludes that therefore the Contracts Finder notice was effective in making the opportunity known in the market.
3) Taking all of the above factors into account the Council concluded that it has tested the market and advertised the opportunity to participate in the procurement sufficiently that it
was rational for the Council to conclude the contracts and that it would have been disproportionate to abandon the procurement.

The reason for the urgent award was due to the ICB receiving a request from NHSE on the 07/11/2024 stating the urgent actions for all ICBs to take forward following the emergence of clade 1b mpox cases in the UK. A new service needed to be arranged urgently due to an unforeseen emergency which created safety concerns that posed a risk to patients and the public and therefore a rapid response was required.
The ICB's CFO approved this urgent award on the 18th December 2024.
No conflicts were declared.

title: Lease Rental of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) equipment and purchase of ancillary products

description: Not published

description:
The Trust is seeking to lease a further number of units that is used for the production of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) solution, which produces a stable decontamination and cleaning solution within a clinical healthcare environment.
The Trust has been trailing this product in conjunction with other NHS Trusts in order to establish baselines for efficacy and efficient cleaning and decontamination rates at Rampton Hospital, using a stable Hypochlorous Acid that meets the required UK Regulations and compatible for use in a healthcare setting.
Due to the Health and Safety risks of using various chemical alternatives and using existing systems, the Trust wishes to expand the scope of this project with leasing further machines for Hypochlorous Acid production around key sites at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
In addition to the machines, this procurement will also be for ancillary goods such as high grade salt, decontamination misting units, trolley systems and other items required for the delivery of this contract.
Machines: 2 models suggested
40 Litres of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) per hour, via electrolysis
120 Litres of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) per hour, via electrolysis

procurementMethodRationale:
The Trust has been trailing HOCL for at least the last 12 months, which at the time was a novel good/service for the NHS. There is very little competition at the time and for technical reasons due to the absence of competition, HOCL Health were approached.
Existing supplier suppled the original goods and wishes to buy additional machines, with the same compatibility with existing provisions. Any incompatibility of new goods/services may result in redesign and modification which may result in significant costs to the organisation.

To begin the prior engagement process for the tender, a list of pre-approved suppliers on the YPO 402-24 framework were reviewed, specifically those eligible to provide services under Lot 1c within the North West region. The objective was to ensure that these suppliers could deliver the full range of translation services required, covering everything from written document translations to possible interpretation services across multiple languages.
Once the eligible suppliers were identified, a Request for Information (RFI) to assess their experience and expertise in translation services was developed. The RFI was structured to gather key information on the suppliers' backgrounds, such as their experience in the translation industry, specifically in the North West region. It also sought to understand their capacity to handle various types of translation needs specifically their  legal experience, medical, or technical translations. Case studies, references, and examples of previous translation work were requested to better gauge the suppliers' track record and performance.
After sending the RFI to the identified suppliers, four responded with the requested information. Each response was carefully reviewed to determine the level of experience and capability of the suppliers.
