title: Design Services for Strabane Public Realm - SCM ID: 082/13/SEC

description:
The Strabane Public Realm project is for the implementation of a high public realm within the Strabane Town Centre. Derry City and Strabane District Council is the Contracting Authority.
In November 2013, RPS were awarded the contract to deliver and manage the Strabane Public Realm contract from Department of Finance's (CPD) Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement for Integrated Consultant Teams Contract.
The contract value of this commission was £139,405.00 for provision of consultancy led professional services. It was anticipated at the time of tender works would be completed in March 2016.
In 2019 the project was put on hold following the completion of RIBA Stage D, as it was awaiting funding. At that time, the ICT had completed RIBA Stages A-D.
The project was on hold from 2019 until September 2024. Funding is now in place for the completion of the project. The original project completion was due in 2016. Currently it is anticipated that the completion will be in 2027.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority, intends that the Integrated Consultant Team appointed by Strabane District Council in 2013, complete the commission for which they were appointed.
There have been a number of consequences as a result of the prolonged stand still of the project. During this time, the statutory approvals for the project have lapsed such as the planning approval needing to be resubmitted for renewal, and other changes have occurred that could not have been reasonably been foreseen, that have impacted the project.
Additionally, the project has been adversely affected by the high rates of inflation during recent years. Neither the high rates of inflation nor the protracted period of standstill of the project could have been reasonably foreseen by the appointed consultant at the time of tendering for the project in 2013.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority, is minded to amend the contract with RPS, by utilising the X1 clause which is currently in the Contract Data Part 1 of the commission to address the inflationary impact on fees for the remainder of the contract. The scope of the project has not materially changed.
The original appointment was made using a NEC3 Option A Professional Services Contract included an X1 Clause (Price Adjustment for inflation clause), however this had not been applied to any of the rates or activities within the contract to date. At the time of appointment of RPS, it was anticipated that the project would be complete by 2016. The anticipated completion date is now currently 2027, some nine years later. During this time there have been unprecedented inflationary rises. In order to mitigate this significant increase, it seems reasonable to apply the X1 clause going forward for the remainder of the project.
The Contracting Authority is minded that the proposed change to the contract is in accordance with regulation 72 of the Public Procurement Regulations Contracts. In this,it states that:
'Contracts may be modified without a new procurement procedure where the modifications , irrespective of their value , are not substantial in that (a) the modifications do not render the contract materially different from the one initially concluded, (b) the modification does not introduce conditions which had they been part of the initial procurement procedure , would have -
(i) allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected,
(ii)allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted, or
(iii)attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;'
Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases:-
(c)where all of the following conditions are fulfilled:-
(i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;
(ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
(iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.
The Contracting Authority is of the opinion as the X1 clause has been included in the original tender, the tender selection would have remained unchanged. It would not have attracted additional participants to the tender process, especially as the appointment was from a framework, nor would it have changed the candidates selected, nor the outcome of the tender selection.
Under the terms of the Public Procurement Regulations 72, a Voluntary Ex- Ante Transparency EAT notice is required to cover a variation to the contract between Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority and the Integrated Consultant Team led by RPS for the Strabane Public Realm Project.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority is therefore publishing this Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice to cover a variation to the contract and for additional tasks to be carried out necessary as a result of changes in legislation, lapses in statutory approvals. It should be noted that the scope of the original commission is not deemed to have changed.

This notice covers the consultancy and professional services from Crown to update the Crown Duties Management System (DMS).
The current version of Crown DMS utilised by Northumbria Police is now out of support with the supplier, as it hasn't been updated for over 10 years (since the system was first implemented in Northumbria Police). The way the system was originally implemented is not aligned with best practice and Northumbria Police is not utilising all of the available functionality in the system.
In order to update the system to the latest version and deploy the best practice configuration, Northumbria Police require the assistance of Crown through use of their professional services. Northumbria Police do not have the in-depth knowledge of the system to be able to carry out this work alone, without adding significant risk to both the timeliness and the quality of the deployment of the latest version.

title: Crown DMS Re-Deployment Consultancy

description: Consultancy/ professional services from Crown to update the Crown Duties Management System (DMS).

procurementMethodRationale:
The award is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because the competition is absent for technical reasons.
The system is owned, managed and distributed by Crown Computing Limited and there are no other organisations that have the knowledge of the software as Crown do not partner with other organisations. Therefore competition is absent as there is only Crown who would be able to support the works required from a technical perspective.

The service will be provided to individuals who are, or believe themselves to be, ill with a condition that requires urgent attention, such that their immediate care needs cannot safely be deferred until the end of the OOH period but not unstable enough to require treatment in the Emergency Department/Ambulance. An effective interface between the NHS111 services and the OOH service will be critical to the successful delivery of urgent care. Partnership working between these services will ensure all relevant performance and quality measures are successfully delivered. Seamless transfer of information, data (where necessary) and collaboration between the two services will be critical to delivering excellent clinical care and patient experience.
Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates.

NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide Primary Care Services.
The services are as follows:
The Same Day Urgent Care service is a clinically led service, supported by experienced staff who have undergone additional training to enable the effective management, assessment and treatment of illness and some minor wounds based at Priors Close, Slough. Patients will access the services either through via NHS111, or through referral from another healthcare professional (e.g. GP, A&E or Community services) or self-presenting 'walk in'
The Slough Same Day Service is an overspill service available to all Slough practices. All GP appointments must be made by the patient's own surgery once the patient has been triaged by their own GP practice. The Same Day Service GPs are expected to adhere to the standard of practice that a patient would receive within their own GP practice
The provision of GP led medical care services to registered patients residing in the practice registration area
The Special Allocation Scheme (formerly known as the Violent Patient Scheme (VPS)) was introduced as an Enhanced Service in 2004, with the aim of providing a secure environment in which patients who have been violent or aggressive in their GP practice can continue to receive general medical services
Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates.
The Commissioner is directly awarding a contract to the existing provider East Berkshire Primary Care Out of Hours Services Limited under PSR Direct Award C in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (9) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
The total expected value of the contract for the initial 14-month contract term is £1,623,247.
The optional 14-month extension expected value of the contract is £1,623,247.
Therefore, the full expected lifetime contract value (14-month + optional up to 14-month extension) is £3,246,495.
The initial 14-month contract period will commence on the 01 April 2025.
This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners Additional information: Evidence that East Berkshire Primary Care Out of Hours Services Limited have satisfied the existing contract to a sufficient standard according to the detail outlined in the APMS contract The new contracting arrangements are based on a rollover of the previous contracting arrangements/schedules which the provider has already satisfied/complied with to a high standard, and so the provider will highly be likely to be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.
