description:
As part of the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) remit to operate the 999 call service, it was identified that ambulances were being sent to patients
that didn't need them, which otherwise could have been downgraded over the phone, reducing the need to dispatch an ambulance unnecessarily, and reducing the pressure and
demand on the use of ambulances.
A subcontract was set up between SCAS and their subcontractor to provide a GP Clinical Assessment Service to support this.
The existing contract is due to expire on 31st March 2025.
The contract has shown a huge benefit to SCAS - downgrade rates of 80%.
As a result of the success of the contract, an additional one year contract is required from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an option to extend for a further additional year. to 31st March 2027.
If the contract expires with no replacement, SCAS and the public would experience a huge drop in service level, and an unnecessary dispatching of ambulances, putting further pressure on ambulance resources.

description: Last year the British Council led 9M new users to the English Online website. Users take longer to make their decision: While we are increasing conversion rate to transactions through A/B testing, we have seen an increase in time in which the users decide to purchase. Different cultures, different needs: We also concluded onsite surveys to understand what information users need and to adapt content accordingly. We realised that depending on where users are from, they might need different information on the website. Best practice is to provide language pages and using a chatbot to personalise information they need to make their decision (provide answers to different questions).Lack of attention: The attention span of a user has dropped down to 8 seconds and they are looking for quick answers to their questions.Quick solutions: In today's fast-paced digital environment, customers expect quick response to their questions. They do not really look at the FAQ pages (don’t look around to search for an answer) but rather want to be presented with an answer as quickly as possible. If they don’t, they move on to the competition.Therefore we are looking at how we can use AI powered Chatbots which can handle multiple inquiries simultaneously and allows for scalability. With personalized recommendations and responses based on user data and behaviour, to enhance overall customer experience.

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) is issuing this PIN on behalf of another NHS Body - NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) who wishes to procure Community Services for West Lancashire. This Prior Information Notice is for information only.
NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB has set out an ambition to have a world-class, community-centric health and care system, with its four place-based partnerships, or 'places', at the heart of this Transformation. One of the ICB's top priorities is to transform community health services and integrated community teams, aiming to elevate health outcomes, tackle health inequalities, and keep more people thriving within their communities. By transforming community services, the Lancashire and South Cumbria system will be empowered to support people in staying well, proactively identifying those at risk of deterioration, and offering them personalised care and support.
Community health services cover a wide range of services and provide care for people from birth to the end of their life. Community health teams play a vital role in supporting people with complex health and care needs to live independently in their own home for as long as possible. Lancashire and South Cumbria has four places: Lancashire, South Cumbria, Blackpool, and Blackburn with Darwen. West Lancashire is a district area of Lancashire and is predominantly a rural district. It has a population of approximately 118,000 people and is made up of the 1960s new town of Skelmersdale, the historic market town of Ormskirk, and a number of villages situated primarily in the rural Northern Parishes.
West Lancashire Community services are mainly adult physical health services but include paediatric podiatry services for those children who need local access to community services. The current provision will conclude at the end of March 2026, and this notification is provided to enable interested parties to plan for  a potential PSR competitive process.
The value of the contract will be £10.997 million per year. The total contract value over the 3 years plus the potential 2-year extension will be £54.985 million.
There is a range of specifications that will form the overall contract and these include a Community Diabetes Service; a Community Stroke and Neuro Rehabilitation Service; and an Intermediate Care Therapy Service.  The ICB is considering awarding one contract for all of these specifications.
Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB is eager to hear from experienced Healthcare providers with the knowledge, expertise, and innovation to shape and deliver these vital services.  The ICB is not bound to take on board providers' input but is keen to shape the services with best knowledge and engagement from the market.
Any feedback or pre-procurement questions from providers should be submitted to charlotte.mcallister@nhs.net by no later than 21/02/2025. When you respond, please provide information about your past experience and what services that you are currently delivering.

North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England North East and Yorkshire Health and Justice Team (the Relevant Authority) and is managing this market engagement exercise for the provision of HMP New Hall Women's Dental Services.
The Relevant Authority is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market and to gather information in order to gain a better understanding of both the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed services.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such you will need to express your interest in any future tender opportunity once the contract notice is published on Find a Tender Service.
It should also be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process.
This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise.  An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this RFI exercise and communicate with potential providers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communications with NECS, including RFI submissions, will be conducted via Atamis: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
If you have already registered on the system (e.g. to access contracts with another Health Family organisation) then there is no need to re-register.
If you have not already done so you should now register as a Supplier on the shared system.
You can register here: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
It is free to register on the portal and it can be accessed at any time of day providing you have a working internet connection. If you find that you need any advice or support in registering, please contact the Atamis helpdesk using the following details:
Phone: 0800 9956035
E-mail: support-health@atamis.co.uk
Opening times 8am - 6pm
The RFI documentation will be accessible from Monday 10 February 2025 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 12.00 noon on Friday 21 February 2025.
Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services.
Following review of returned RFI responses, should the commissioner wish to seek further clarification to any part of the responses, further market engagement may be carried out. Providers will be made aware of these arrangements via the Atamis system.

On 25 April 2023, LCRCA published an Assessment on Bus Franchising in the Liverpool City Region which sets out the proposed bus Franchising Scheme in accordance with the Transport Act.
In October 2023, the Liverpool City Region Mayor made a Franchising Scheme covering the Liverpool City Region. Franchising is to be introduced over a number of tranches of procurement. Franchised contracts will be let in two categories:
i.	Category 1 franchises, which are those Franchise Agreements involving multiple services that will operate from a depot provided by LCRCA. LCRCA will provide the depot from which the services relating to the Category 1 franchise must be operated. LCRCA will predominately provide the fleet that must be used on the Category 1 franchise.
ii.	Category 2 franchises, which are those Franchise Agreements which either i) provide services to serve schools or ii) provide other local services. In both cases the franchises will be delivered from an operator's own depot.
This notice relates to Category 2 franchises. The first tranche of Category 2 franchises are expected to relate to St Helens, Wirral and Sefton and South Liverpool.
This notice relates to Category 2 franchises.
Key elements of Category 2 franchises will include:
Delivery of requirement: the operator of each franchise will be required to provide bus services in accordance with detailed individual franchise package specifications.
Revenue risk: the operator will not be required to assume revenue risk. Revenue risk will be primarily taken by LCRCA.
Depots: the operator of each franchise will be required to provide the depot(s) from which the Category 2 franchises will be operated.
Buses: the operator of each franchise will primarily be responsible for providing the vehicles which will operate Category 2 franchises.
Repair, maintenance and servicing of buses: the operator will be responsible for the repair, maintenance and servicing of vehicles whilst ensuring that there are in a roadworthy condition.
Staff: the operator is responsible for ensuring that it has all necessary and suitably trained staff to deliver the requirement detailed in the individual franchise specifications.

qualificationSystemConditions:
The Qualification System for Category 2 franchises will involve different stages as described below and in the documents referred to in this notice and allows for registered and qualified suppliers to be considered for contract opportunities without further calls for competition for such contracts.
1.	Passport System Stage
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has established a Passport System by which potential suppliers can apply for inclusion on the Qualification System and pre-qualify so that they can bid for Liverpool City Region Category 2 franchises.
Potential suppliers who wish to apply to become a Category 2 Passport Holder are required to provide a submission in accordance with the Passport Selection Questionnaire (which contains selection questions and criteria relating to mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds and PSV Operator's Licence requirements) and should do so with reference to the Passport Process Document which provides further detail on the application process and the criteria and requirements. These documents can be found on the Pro-Contract E-Tendering portal The Chest (https://www.the-chest.org.uk/) and responses must be uploaded to the Pro-Contract e-tendering portal.
A potential Supplier wishing to participate in a particular Liverpool City Region Category 2 Bus Franchise competition must have submitted an application to join the Category 2 Passport System on or before the relevant date for each tranche. The relevant dates for each tranche are in the process of being finalised, but the indicative date for tranche 1 is set out below:
•	Tranche 1: Currently anticipated for 31st July 2025, 11:00am - this date is subject to change and further details will be released in advance of this.
2.	Franchise Expression of Interest (EOI) Stage
LCRCA will issue to those Potential Suppliers which have successfully qualified in the Passport System stage and have become a "Category 2 Passport Holder", (ie, have met all of the necessary criteria stated in the PSQ and supporting documents) a franchise specific EOI as a further qualification process to determine those to be invited to negotiate.
Further qualification criteria in the EOI will relate to economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability. Responses to a franchise specific EOI will be evaluated in accordance with the qualification criteria as specified in the relevant franchise specific EOI.
3.	Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) Stage
An ITN will be issued to those Category 2 Passport Holders that have successfully met the requirements of the franchise specific EOI (with the qualification criteria being specified in the franchise specific EOI).
