description:
NHS England are looking to re-procure and commission a confidential national mental health treatment service for health care staff in England, funded nationally. The service will operate in a unique space where there is a crossover between the professional and regulatory environment in which a clinician or healthcare professional works, and their mental health treatment needs. A national level service will provide confidentiality for staff who work across local services.

The successful provider will work with NHS England and its key partners to contribute towards the development of the Service throughout the duration of the contract. It is expected that the provider will work flexibly with NHS England, to enhance the service throughout the duration of the contract based on evolving need, to maximise contract value. This may include adapting systems and developing pathways as required to support the development of the service as we learn more about the emerging needs of the health care workforce.

As part of this process NHS England would like to invite interested parties to read and complete our Preliminary Market Engagement questionnaire.  This service will be competed under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and will not be competed via Public Contract Regulations 2015 or via the Procurement Act 2023. Additional information: To register your interest in this project and access and to access details for this opportunity, please go to NHS England's e-Tendering portal, Atamis at: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. You can then search for the opportunity and access any further information by searching for “C346803 National Staff Mental Health Support Service”. Clarification questions and Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) responses must be submitted via the NHS England’s e-Tendering portal, Atamis. The deadline for asking clarification questions will close at 12 noon on 20 March, NHS England will respond to all clarification questions by 5pm 24 March and the deadline for PME responses to be submitted is 12 noon Thursday 27 March 2025.

Prior Information Notice: Draft Specification – proposed Children and Young People’s Therapeutic Support Service
** This advert is for market awareness and engagement only **
This Prior Information Notice is to share extracts from a draft Specification for a proposed Children and Young People’s Therapeutic Support Service to be procured under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.  This is following an online market engagement event held on Wednesday 12th February 2025.  (Please note: this proposal follows a Key Decision taken in March 2025).
The proposed Therapeutic Support Service would support children and young people aged 4-19 who have mild/moderate emotional wellbeing needs. This means children and young who may need support with difficulties such as:
• Nervousness or anxiety
• Difficulty concentrating
• Difficultly sleeping
• Avoiding school or activities
• Feeling low and not good about themselves
• Not wanting to be with friends or family
We are proposing that this service will be closely aligned with the proposed Therapeutic Alliance, being commissioned by NHS Kent and Medway to support children and young people with predominantly moderate emotional wellbeing and mental health needs.
Feedback on draft Specification
We would like to share the draft Specification with providers and invite comment and feedback using the following survey link by midday on Friday 21st March 2025:
https://forms.office.com/e/a9urnqS19A
We are also sharing the responses to questions raised at the Market Engagement Event held on Wednesday 12th February 2025 and through our feedback survey, alongside this PIN.
How to access draft Specification
In order to access the draft Specification please visit https://www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk/ and register your interest. Once registered please search under the current opportunities using keyword reference CN250246.
Future Market Engagement
We are no longer intending to hold a further in-person market engagement event, due to the proposed timescales, but to support collaborative conversations, we would like to invite any providers who would like to have their details shared with other interested organisations to complete the Provider Information form that will be available on the portal, and email it to phstprogramme@kent.gov.uk by midday on 21.03.25.  By returning this form, you are giving consent for this information to be shared with other interested organisations who have also shared their details for this purpose.
KCC will compile the responses into a provider prospectus and aim to distribute this document via email during the week commencing 24.03.25, to all providers who have submitted and consented for their details to be shared.  Please note, we will not be providing further updates to the provider prospectus after this point.
Proposed Next Steps:
Following a Key Decision taken in March 2025, we propose to publish an Invitation to Tender on the Kent Business Portal in early April 2025.

This Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) is issued by Transport for London (TfL), acting on behalf of the Greater London Authority (the "GLA"), and seeks to obtain market feedback in relation to the possible procurement for the GLA Electoral Information Portal.

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to notify the market of TfL's intention to carry out early market engagement to assess the current market capabilities and appetite for the requirement.
Transport for London, on behalf of the Greater London Authority, are seeking to procure an Electoral Information Portal.
London has one Mayor and 25 Assembly Members. This unique form of government  - the Greater London Authority - was set up in 2000 and, working with London's 32 boroughs, the City of London, central government and many others, it is responsible for key London services, including transport, the police and the fire service
London Elects is the programme team that organises the Mayor of London and the London Assembly elections. This includes everything from designing the ballot papers and managing the counting of votes, to delivering a public awareness campaign to tell Londoners about the election and how to vote.
The conduct of these Elections requires a number of digital tools to allow for the accurate collation, transmission and presentation of electoral information.
To aid in the preparation and conduct of future London Mayor and Assembly Elections, an electronic portal with a number of digital tools is required to support the conduct of critical electoral tasks.
The overarching requirement is for a software solution which provides the GLA and other partners the ability to conduct the variety of digital tasks related to election management for London Mayor and Assembly elections.
Providing a seamless experience for users is vital, in particular the borough users. In the past they have been required to engage with a number of different portals to meet the requirements of the election. For future elections, boroughs are expected to only need to access a single portal, with a user being able to use a single set of credentials to enter all parts of the system that they have been authorized to access.

South Lanarkshire Council serves as the lead authority in a long-standing partnership among local authorities, known as the Clyde Valley Learning and Development Group (CVLDG).
The majority of member councils of CVLDG are currently using the same learning management system to host and manage the e-learning function in each of their respective local authority.
The provision of an externally hosted Learning Management System is a key element of the Group and maintaining the availability of the e-learning function without any break or loss of service is essential.

The service procured will have the following capabilities:-
-to host online learning content (e.g. SCORM, PDF, MP4)
-to host individual learner records and track all learner activity in relation to content accessed and completed
-to have the facility to report on all learning activity
-to manage classroom-based learning (tutor led) events
-to support the regular data transfer of learner activity to and from HR management systems
-to comply with current web accessibility standards
-to manage learning in each council’s establishment of up to 30,000 learner records per council
-capable of delivering e-learning content to multiple device types through responsive design and delivery
-customisable to reflect each council’s functional requirements Additional information: Please complete and return the market engagement questionnaire no later than 12 noon on the 28th March 2025. Responses should be sent to Sarah Williamson sarah.williamson@southlanarkshire.gov.uk

We are looking for a long-term partner to provide real live investment banking training to our UG and PGT students to complement their academic courses in finance and prepare them for future employment in the industry.
The provider needs to be able to deliver a week-long intensive training programme (namely, the “boot-camp”) that can be accessed by students remotely and/or via existing on-campus facilities; this would be expected to be delivered during week 0 of semester 2 each year (in January for each academic year).
They also need to provide appropriate pre-boot camp information sessions (ideally Oct/Nov in semester 1 of each year) and preparatory materials/asynchronous online sessions. During the boot camp the provider should cover a combination of contemporary theory (e.g. corporate finance, behavioural finance, capital markets) and practical application via trading simulation and offer participants assessment of and feedback on their performance.
Topics we envisage being covered include asset management, buy and sell side transactions, IPOs and experience of a live financial trading environment. The boot camp should include careers advice and co-ordinate on this with the university’s careers service. We further expect the provider to include post-boot camp feedback to students about their performance as well as pastoral care for participants to allow them to maximise the impact of their experience when seeking employment.
The boot camp should be a self-contained activity that will sit alongside a student’s finance courses at Strathclyde and be open to both UG and PGT students on a voluntary basis, we expect 200-300 students to take part each year. There should be no charges/fees for participating students other than those ordinarily incurred for attending on campus (e.g. travel) or for remote access (e.g. internet access). We expect the provider to issue students who successfully complete the boot camp with a recognised qualification, e.g. a Level 5 Diploma in Trading and Financial Market Analysis - accredited by the London Institute of Banking and Finance, which will benefit students’ CVs and their employability skills.

procurementMethodRationale:
his contract is not an award without prior notice. This contract was awarded via a mini competition from CCS Framework RM6103 -Education Technology - Lot 4 Hardware in September 2021. Modiﬁcation is to increase value to £11,750,000.00 and extend contract end date to 31st March 2026.
This modiﬁcation is in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (c):
It meets each of the following conditions:
(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.
When EA established this contract, it was envisaged that Apple products would be in demand but with the drastic and sustained change to a more mobile and virtual delivery methods, as well as the need for ease of accessibility to what schools deliver for teachers and pupils alike, the demand has exceeded the initial estimates. The Covid pandemic and post pandemic environment has considerably changed what devices teachers and pupils now require to function adequately in the school setting.
This modiﬁcation does not alter the scope of the contract as the same catalogue of items will remain.

The new D2N2 Children in Care framework is due to start on 1 April 2026 and so this event will focus on further scoping and shaping of the new framework, and reflect on the current D2N2 Children in Care framework.
The event is for providers who provide OFSTED registered Fostering provision for Children in Care within the Derby City, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City boundaries (and neighbouring areas).
In order to be eligible to attend the event, OFSTED registrations must either be complete now and the service in place, or for the OFSTED registration to be completed by August 2025 at the latest (as providers without this will not be eligible to apply for the framework).

title: Property Development Consultancy Services - Scoping approach

description:
The Authority is engaging with potential suppliers to seek views and feedback to the information provided and questionnaire.
It is important to note that this is not an invitation to tender, it is strictly a Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire, intended to capture market information.
This is intended to be used to assist the Authority on deciding the next steps for the procurement of a suitable supplier(s) who can provide property development consultancy services.
It is exploring scoping options around levels of interest of suppliers to engage in the delivery of such services plus some key questions around the Council’s thoughts on how to approach this.   Key services likely to be required at pace are to provide development consultancy service to the Council which will include:
i.	Land, property and development advice, including indicative feasibility assessments where required.
ii.	For a full range of land uses, including commercial, residential, retail and leisure.
iii.	Advice and support on funding considerations.
iv.	Asset management strategies, including consideration of regeneration, investment and rationalisation.
v.	Advice and support on disposal and acquisition strategies.
vi.	Negotiations with landowners/developers/the local Planning Authority/housing delivery partners/grant bodies and others.
vii.	Liaison/consultation with elected Members, partner organisations and the community.

description:
A regional collaboration of Scottish local authorities wish to alert Chargepoint Operators (CPOs) to an anticipated tender exercise for an electric vehicle charging network across a large geographical region. The authorities are City of Edinburgh Council (lead authority), Dumfries and Galloway Council, West Lothian Council, Midlothian Council, Scottish Borders Council, Clackmannanshire Council, Fife Council and Falkirk Council.
The envisaged procurement will entail a concession contract which assumes responsibility for the existing public charging estate across the region of approximately 600 chargepoints. This will include migration of these assets from the Chargeplace Scotland network onto a new back office supplied by the CPO. Further to this, support has been secured through EVIF to support the expansion of the network by approximately 1800 additional chargepoints by 2030.
It is expected that a tender will be released in Spring 2025. The contract will be based on the draft concession terms developed by Scottish Futures Trust and SFT’s associated “Top Ten Commercial Considerations for Local Authorities for EV Infrastructure Service Contracts”, both of which are available on SFT’s website. The technical schedules and a KPI framework will be based on the guidance developed for the LEVI programme in England.
The contract is expected to be for a single CPO who can provide a mix of charging solutions and capacities across the region with an expectation the majority by number will be long dwell time AC charging. There is likely to be provision of the ability to use back office software to facilitate fleet charging.
Key areas of priority for the South of Scotland region will be the ability to migrate existing assets at pace and to support and manage a realistic expansion plan that supports a Just Transition particularly in rural areas and areas where standalone private investment is unlikely. It is anticipated that the CPO will need to mobilise over GBP20m of private capital alongside grant funding from Transport Scotland.
This is expected to be a long term contract where the CPO will work in partnership with the regional group to develop a network in line with the priorities of the EVIF programme and the authorities desire to help enable a comprehensive network across the council areas that complements standalone private investment delivered by CPOs out with the scope of this initiative. To this end innovative approaches are sought which may include consortium or sub contracting arrangements that can deliver a range of charging options that can address local circumstances (for example World Heritage Sites, poor grid/communications connections, areas of low utilisation, areas of multiple deprivation) with a view to facilitating a charging network that best addresses a wide range of user needs.
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to allow interested parties to note interest and to be kept updated around progress and to make inquiries should further clarification be required at this pre tender stage.
To help provide further background supporting information has been attached. Please note that this information is indicative to guide decision making and not intended to be contractual and may be updated or withdrawn at any time.
The envisaged chargepoints are intended to aid prospective tenderers to identify prospective sites but are not intended to be mandated. Within the tender process there will be an opportunity to provide a proposal around suitable sites to meet the desired outcomes set by Local Authority partners.
Prior to commencing procurement we welcome feedback from CPOs on any aspect of this proposal.
