The Offshore Wind Directorate is considering commissioning a suitable contractor (or consortium) to develop an implementation roadmap for a suite of strategic compensation measures for seabirds suitable for investment relevant to Scottish offshore wind projects. This suite of measures is intended to be available as potential compensation, under the Habitats Regulations, for the environmental impacts of offshore wind development in Scotland.
The increase in scale of Scottish offshore wind development will increase the cumulative pressure on the marine environment, including on protected networks of sites, in particular Special Protection Areas for seabirds. Given the potential magnitude of these impacts associated with the ScotWind and INTOG leasing rounds, we may therefore need to compensate (under the Habitats Regulations) for these impacts at a strategic level.  We anticipate that the successful contractor for this project will be asked to examine a succinct list of compensatory measures, which could range from “like-for-like” measures that are directly linked to impacted seabird populations, to wider compensatory measures which would improve the overall condition and resilience of the marine environment but not necessarily directly benefit affected seabird populations.
This project would require the successful contractor to liaise with a wide range of stakeholders and experts across Scotland and the UK to identify and describe in detail the key steps and components involved in delivery of a successful programme of compensatory measures for seabirds. It would culminate in a detailed step-by-step implementation roadmap to deliver each compensatory measure, including (but not limited to): ·
practical steps/logistics for delivery,
the potential level of compensation provided (along with an estimate of uncertainty),
outline of the monitoring required to determine the level of success of a measure,
estimated costs of delivery of measures,
estimated costs of monitoring the success of an implemented measure,
timings and interdependencies,
skills, expertise and resource required,
risks/opportunities etc.
This work is needed urgently and we anticipate this project to commence during the Summer 2025 and run for approximately five (5) months (including time taken for Scottish Government review and sigh off on the final recommendation. Sign off is expected to be 2 x 3 week review periods).
Interested parties are requested to register their interest by reviewing and completing the linked Microsoft Form -  Supplier Engagement questionnaire.
Depending on the level of interest generated by this Prior Information Notice, the Scottish Government reserves the right to host a Suppliers’ Day. Additional information: It is envisaged that a single service provider, or consortium shall be appointed following a competitive tender exercise for the future service.

By January 2027, analogue telephone services accessed by the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) will be switched off as the UK's telecoms infrastructure is upgraded to digital connectivity. This has a number of implications for LiveWest and its customers, primarily due to the components in our homes that use telephone lines to connect with the outside world. This includes:
-	Telecare alarm systems
-	Smoke alarm systems
-	Door Entry Systems
To ensure that we are keeping customers safe and can continue to provide services, LiveWest needs to replace or upgrade the analogue dependent components on our schemes and in our offices with a “digital ready” equivalent before January 2027.

The Solution will manage SW's end-to-end procurement processes from capturing a Requirement, through Purchase Requisition, Approval, Purchase Order Creation, Supplier PO Receipting, SW Service/Product Receipting, Supplier Invoicing to "OK to pay" from a 3-way match.
Critical to improved user experience will be that the Solution will enable users to:
- execute required actions "on the move" via secure mobile technologies as well as computer based,
- leverage punch-outs with external approved and secure supplier sites
- access and order from approved supplier catalogues
The Solution must have a proven method of:
- managing professional services
- goods and works contracts that may leverage Framework Agreements and timesheets.
These areas represent a key portion of the SW spend profile. The nature of managing this spend in this Solution is still being defined but will be clarified later in the Procurement Process.
S2C:
For spend that is not readily available when requisitioned, the Solution would also have integrated Sourcing, Contracting and Supplier / Contract Performance Management functionality, that is triggered by workflow management to a central Procurement function.
All S2P activities must workflow automatically and allow for online collaboration between SW colleagues and Suppliers, who will be able to access the Solution via a secure external Supplier Portal.
The number of integrations to legacy SW systems is still being defined, but we would expect the Solution to be able to readily integrate to common Finance or HR platforms as a minimum and have SSO capability.
It must also have the capability to be integrated with Asset Management, Inventory and Stores solutions, as a possible further future activity. (Although this is not in the initial implementation scope, it is essential there is evidential functional capability to do so.)
The Solution Provider will identify three (3) SIPs, and a preferred SIP. All SIPs must be certified by the Solution Provider.

Barnsley needs to implement a confidential, out of hours  mental health crisis response service for children and young people. The service needs to be able to provide support if the young person:

o	Feel they have nowhere to turn
o	Fell they can’t go on living
o	Feel they are in crisis
o	Are finding it hard to cope with life
o	Are feeling angry, lonely, anxious or depressed
o	Are feeling confused or finding it hard to think straight
o	Are feeling unsafe
o	Are caring for a young person
o	Just want to talk

The service offer needs to include text, webchat and phone support and ideally needs to be operational between the hours of 17:00 and 09:00am (or for a minimum of a 12 hour period during these times), 7 days a week, every night of the year.      Additionally, the provider of this service also needs to support the NHS England mandated NHS 111 Option 2 service for children and young people in Barnsley who contact the service and are  under 16 years of age, as the current mandated service in Barnsley only supports people aged 16 and above."

This notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process.

This is a new service to be provided by a new provider.

The contract will run for two years from the date of the award of the contract.

Key criteria 1.  Quality and innovation- Weighting 30%
There is currently no commissioned service in Barnsley operating a children and young people out of hours mental health crisis response nor is there a solution to provide a robust NHS 111 Option 2 service for callers from Barnsley who are under 16 years of age. Discussions have been held with local, South Yorkshire service providers but none have been able to provide the level of support required.   However, the Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Centre provide a bespoke mental health out of hours crisis response to children and young people for the majority of West Yorkshire - this includes working closely with SWYT in the West Yorkshire areas in which SWYT also provide NHS commissioned mental health services. There are limited options of local helplines operating out of hours specifically for young people where they can speak to someone about issues and potentially, in some instances, prevent these from escalating into crisis and in a recent system analysis, information was drawn from various sources( featuring the voices of children and young people) where out of hours support and helplines were raised, including the mentioning of the Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Centre Night Owls service as a solution to accessing helplines and as a specific service offering support through the night.

The Night OWLS service achieves the contractual KPI's and is expected to continue to do so in future years. The Leeds Survivor led Crisis Centre will also provide a response for Barnsley's young people who contact NHS 111 Option 2."

Key criteria 2.  Value - Weighting 10%

Provision of The Night OWLS service together with the NHS 111 Option 2 service for children and young people offers good value for money and is favourable when compared with the cost of similar bespoke services provided in other parts of the UK or provided by local NHS Trusts There are a number of Case Studies that the service have shared with commissioners that highlights the hugely positive impact that this service has on the young people who are supported by it and there is evidence which suggests that this service helps to reduce the numbers of young people who attend their local Emergency Department for mental health reasons as well as reducing the numbers of young people who are admitted via the local Emergency Department for reasons of self-harm

Key criteria 3.  Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - Weighting 25%

Whilst there is currently no mental health out of hours crisis response for children and young people in Barnsley, discussions with local NHS mental health service providers and neighbouring commissioners suggest that Leeds Survivor led Crisis Centre (Night OWLS service) are integrated into local pathways and that they collaborate well with system-wide partners to provide the best outcomes for the children and young people from the areas in which they operate. The provision of a NHS 111 Option 2 service is an NHS Mandated requirement and the 'Night OWLS' service supports this and other NHS Plan recommendations.

Key criteria 4.  Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice.
Weighting 25%

In addition to supporting the NHS Mandated functions, such as the provision of a NHS 111 Option 2 response for children and young people, the Leeds Survivor led Crisis Centre also support other recommendations of the NHS Plan by improving young people's access to mental health services and enabling the most vulnerable young people (e.g. those who are neurodivergent, children in care, LGBQ+ young people) to access appropriate support in a timely manner. The Night OWLS service is linked into local pathways to ensure that young people are signposted to the most appropriate service for them, should they require additional support that is out of scope of the Night OWLS service.

Key criteria 5.  Social Value - Weighting 10%

As a voluntary sector organisation and charity, the provider is able (and will continue) to access a variety of external funding sources such as grants from charitable trust, corporate donations and also from private financial donations.  These other funding streams will be utilised to offer wider opportunities such as  that are not funded by the ICB but contribute to the broader outcomes of the Commissioned Service offer.

Staff are currently on NHS pay bands, with none paid below the living wage.  The Provider's environmental policy commits  to lower the carbon footprint and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Provider will purchase ethically sourced and Fair Trade.  Co2 emissions are reduced via efficient use of power i.e. good housekeeping e.g. turning down heating thermostats, reducing electricity usage e.g. LED lighting.

The Provider currently supports clients from West Yorkshire from it's Leeds based site, which is only 25 miles from the centre of Barnsley.

Both central government and the NHS are increasingly recognising employment as an important route for people with mental illness to experience recovery and improved wellbeing. Employment of people in contact with secondary mental health services is a key indicator under the NHS and Adult Social Care Outcomes framework.
Helping people find good jobs and stay in work is one of the key actions that ICS such as ours can deliver to ensure the best outcomes for our communities, while at the same time making the most effective use of resources. Tackling health-related worklessness can contribute in reducing health inequalities in local populations.
The ICB is commissioning the IPS service to deploy specialists into community mental health teams and other secondary mental health services. The aim of this service is to deliver an integrated, evidence-based, supported employment service for people with mental health issues, based in secondary mental health teams. The employment specialist will work in close collaboration with clinical staff and any individuals who express an interest in employment to achieve an employment outcome. Additional information: NCL ICB wishes to extend current provision of Mental Health Employment Support Service - Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Enfield for 12 months. This will allow the ICB to plan for a procurement across NCL for 2026/27 onwards.

Details of the award decision-makers: NHS LLR ICB Strategic Commissioning Group on 28th of January 2025.
Any declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision and how these were managed:
- Conflicts of interest were identified among the members of the Strategic Commissioning Group. The non-conflicted members assessed the nature and risk of this conflict and decided to allow the conflicted member to participate in the discussion but was excluded from the decision-making.
The Contracting Authority has assessed the provider's suitability and technical/ professional ability to pursue this service based on their current activities and performance. The provider's economic and financial standing has been considered in accordance with basic selection criteria schedule 16 of PSR.
Relative importance and rationale for the key criteria, and the rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria:
1.	Quality and innovation
The provider evidences service delivery through producing demand and activity data, and patient safety reporting. There was 100% satisfaction reported by professionals from the most recent NHS Friends and Family Test feedback (February 2024). No concerns or complaints have been received about the Provider or the service.
2.	Value
The contract for the home visiting element is paid on a cost per session basis, resulting in a cost-effective service which significantly reduces demands and cost for more expensive acute services.
3.	Integration, collaboration and service sustainability
The Provider works in an integrated and collaborative way with system partners (UHL, EMAS and General Practice) to deliver the home visiting service element of the service. Patient level data is shared with partners across the system.  The Provider has appropriate policies, procedures and systems in place to deliver the service.  Through the delivery of this service, there is a reduction in the number of ambulance conveyances and ED attendances, which improves the quality of those services.  The service is staffed by local LLR GPs, and learning from the service is shared with General Practices.   The service is also able to prescribe medication and organise further treatment .
4.	Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice
The home visiting element of the service is delivered in people's own homes, the service is accessible to all patients regardless of geography (Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland wide) and protected characteristics, accessible to patients referred by the Geriatrician at UHL.  Data requirements will be reviewed and updated for the future to collate information about health inequalities.
5.	Social value
The provider evidences social value by providing local employment and purchasing local goods and services,  The provider has good performance for patients remaining in their own homes (approx. 83% of patients avoided an ED attendance) following treatment, leading to fewer patient journeys to alternative services (such as ED attendance, ambulance call-out, or GP Practice attendance). It is recognised that this cohort of patients spend an average of 9 days in hospital, and patients become deconditioned whilst in hospital, and through the ED avoidance outcomes achieved by this service, the service is having a positive impact on the wellbeing of the patients and their carers.
