title: Health Data Exchange (HDE)

description: An initial period of 48 months with options to extend for up to 24 months i.e., 2 x 12 months.

description:
Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland and meet the minimum entry criteria, detailed within this Contract Notice, to be established on the DPS.
Cloud infrastructure that focuses on citizen generation, reuse, and control of personal data only concerning health services. The HDE provides common data sharing 'plumbing' to support the integration of new patient-professional co-management applications, devices, and stores. For example, it may support integration with consumer wearables, medical devices (e.g., ventilator, blood pressure cuff) and self-management applications (e.g., diabetes, weight management). It can provide common identity, consenting and data sharing capabilities so that a citizen can consent to any connected application sharing data with any other connected application. It might already integrate with a range of applications and devices, and / or with clinical records and offer third parties the reuse of these platform level integrations.
Suppliers must provide details about the services you can provide under this category (lot) including 2 relevant examples of services carried out in the last 3 years, as specified for each category (lot) being applied for. Examples from public and/or private sector may be provided. Suppliers should submit their examples using the submission document provided and responses should not exceed 2 x A4 sheets, as set out in the procurement documents. Do not include hyperlinks or embed files to this response and ensure acronyms are explained in full. Note: at least two case study examples are required for each category (lot).
A copy of the 4C1.2 Response Template can be found at section 4C.1.2 of the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland within Public Contracts Scotland – Tender (PCS-T). The form should be downloaded, populated with the relevant examples and uploaded.
Suppliers can apply for one or more categories (lots). Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this DPS if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

title: Personal Health and Care Records (PHCR)

description:
Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland and meet the minimum entry criteria, detailed within this Contract Notice, to be established on the DPS.
Cloud infrastructure that can handle elements common to a PDS or HDE (data storage and sharing between the citizen and health and care services). Personal Health and Care Records (PHCRs) focus more on the user experience/interface supporting literacy, dialogue, decision making, and care planning. Importantly, they usually work across conditions, groups, and services. They can offer a method to unify the guidance, alerting, messaging, and data feeds from other data-sharing infrastructure to create a more coherent, multi-purpose interface for citizens with multiple needs. A PHCR may support discovery of other digital applications or services and may act as a launch point into these additional services. A PHCR can also help citizens share essential information with a broader support network, like family and carers, if they choose to. Overall, their purpose is to enable more holistic care and more active co-management by the citizen. NHS Digital in England defines PHRs here https://digital.nhs.uk/services/personal-health-records-adoption-service/personal-health-records-adoption-toolkit/initiating-a-personal-health-record/personal-health-records-definition.

title: Long Term Condition Services

description: An initial period of 48 months with options to extend for up to 24 months i.e. 2 x 12 months.

description:
Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland and meet the minimum entry criteria, detailed within this Contract Notice, to be established on the DPS.
The Challenge
-Existing health and social care pressures exacerbated by Covid-19 with rising waiting times for diagnosis and treatment, unsustainable levels of admission to hospital.
-Long term conditions are increasingly difficult to manage with increased dependence on remote care and third sector to support holistic care, independence and re-ablement.
-Many people now have more than one long term condition, making siloed, condition specific work even less sustainable.
Opportunity
-New ability for citizens to share their experiences, needs, preferences and activity data.
-Asynchronous, remote service delivery that can shift from appointment-based care to ongoing dialogue-based care using data sharing, messaging, and citizen self-assessment.
-There is an opportunity to expand on existing innovations to consider further shifting the balance of care into the community and enhancing the care model through:
- More cooperation with care homes, third sector and other community groups.
- More ability to screen and gather data to support diagnosis and decision making through high street--
based or home testing.
- More ability to structure services around symptoms or needs based pathways rather than solely focus on conditions or specialities.
Suppliers must provide details about the services they you can provide under this category (lot) including 2 relevant examples of services carried out in the last 3 years, as specified for each category (lot) being applied for. Examples from public and/or private sector may be provided. Supplier should submit their examples using the submission document provided and responses should not exceed 2 x A4 sheets, as set out in the procurement documents.

title: Care in place / independent living

description:
Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland and meet the minimum entry criteria, detailed within this Contract Notice, to be established on the DPS.
Challenge
-Existing health and social care pressures exacerbated by Covid-19. A rising need for community based social care services to support personal independence and prevent admissions / support discharge from hospital.
-Multi-agency responses are often needed with largely paper based, and limited, sharing of data across these groups when assessing, coordinating and joint planning to support the individual.
Opportunity
-Joint assessments are resource intensive and often a lack of awareness / access to alternative support mechanisms results in more reactive and costly and methods being required.
Opportunity
-New ability for citizens, their informal circle of care and professionals across agencies to use digital tools to created shared care assessments, timelines, and plans.
-Social prescribing targeting more preventative and holistic care can be enabled by using digital navigation and discovery tools to support both individual and professional decisions.
-Providing tools to support discovery and navigation around the use of personal budgets / self-directed support and meet needs in a more responsive manner.
Suppliers must provide details about the services they you can provide under this category (lot) including 2 relevant examples of services carried out in the last 3 years, as specified for each category (lot) being applied for.

title: Mental Health and wellbeing

description:
Challenge
-Mental wellbeing is becoming an increasing issue in most developed societies across the world. There are increasing numbers of people isolated or lonely, exacerbated by the pandemic and especially problematic in rural communities.
-Rise in lifestyle related ill health and associated pressure on health and care services.
-Lack of connectedness between digital self-management applications and NHS services.
Opportunity
-New ability for citizens to share their activity, lifestyle, mood, and other wellbeing data.
-New digital therapies (e.g. online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) are increasingly available.
-Digital technologies offer the opportunity for increasing access to digital services. Accessing this kind of wellbeing support can be normalised, discrete and not carry with it the same kind of stigma as has been the case before.
-New ability for citizens and their informal circle of care to connect using digital tools to support communication, peer support and entertainment.
-The use of digital navigation and discovery tools to support both individual people to find support and opportunities to connect with other people.
Suppliers must provide details about the services you can provide under this category (lot) including 2 relevant examples of services carried out in the last 3 years, as specified for each category (lot) being applied for.

title: Smart Housing / Communities

description:
Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD) Scotland and meet the minimum entry criteria, detailed within this Contract Notice, to be established on the DPS.
Challenge
-There are growing pressures on health and care services because of the ageing population.
-Many of the needs are not acute or do not start this way, with many older adults needing support to stay independent in their own homes.
-In parallel there are increasing numbers of people isolated or lonely, exacerbated by the pandemic and especially problematic in rural communities.
Opportunity
-New networking and connectivity capabilities – allowing for homes and communities to be better connected for lower effort and cost.
-New ability to equip homes with digital technologies – either on the consumer side – e.g. voice assistants and smart heating or on the independent assisted living market – e.g. tracking activities of daily living and identifying trends. In both cases this can help to identify problems early to allow proactive steps to be taken to retain independence.
-New ability for citizens and their informal circle of care to connect using digital tools to support communication, peer support and entertainment.
-The use of digital navigation and discovery tools to support both individual people to find support and opportunities to connect with other people.

Fife Health and Social Care Partnership (“the Partnership”) requires to commission a Supported Living Service (both personal care and non-personal i.e., Housing Support Services) from a variety of external service providers. It is recognised that in some circumstances the Partnership may wish to commission a service that comprises of Housing Support only. On that basis this Contract is open to Providers who do not have dual registration for Care and Support and Housing Support, however it is the preference that Providers will have dual registration.
Fife’s Health and Social Care Partnership is committed to personalisation and outcome-based services for individuals of all ages and abilities and is seeking to appoint a range of partner organisations to deliver outcome focused support to adults, ranging from 16 years old upwards with a range of identified support needs throughout Fife, under a Framework agreement.
Any partner organisations must be able to demonstrate experience and commitment to working innovatively with individuals with the Framework of self-directed support and have sound experience and practice in maximising the benefits of individual budgets. They must also evidence strong skills in forming and maintaining relationships with families of individuals.
Objectives for the Framework are to ensure that individuals have access to support that aspires to the highest level of quality and promotes the right of each individual to have as much choice and control as possible. Key elements of success from desirable organisations include robust evidence of promoting and delivering:
- personal preferences.
-fluctuating levels of required support.
- continuity and consistency in provision of individual outcome focussed support.
- innovative approach which takes into account the potential to link with informal networks of support, community resources as well as embracing the use of assistive technology i.e., Just Checking to improve outcomes for the supported person.
- Supporting positive risk taking.
The Provider will provide practical and personal care over 24 hours a day and 365 days a year to the Supported Person living in their own home and will be in line with the service aims and objectives specified within the specification. Additional information: This framework will be a flexible framework which may re-open at regular periods throught the lifetime of the Contract.

procurementMethod: limited

awardCriteriaDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition is justified under regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons.
The Council issued a Prior Information Notice issued via PCS which did not identify alternative economic operators able to evidence the technical capacity to deliver the integrated individual fund management service of the form being procured to meet the service requirement of the Council. The Council’s service delivery model, including the individual support fund management service and prepaid account facility, is bespoke and tailored to the needs of its users.
The lack of a reasonable alternative or substitute is reflective of regulator findings that since the Social Care (Self Directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013[3] was enacted, Self Directed Support (SDS) has been implemented inconsistently across the country; and that Aberdeenshire Council has implemented a ‘bespoke approach to delivering Option 2’, with a uniqueness of supply that is recognised independently to be a ‘well designed system working well and the model most in the spirit of the Act’ .
This notice of intent to award is made with reference to Chapter 3 Particular Procurement Regimes, Section 7 Social and Other Specific Services. This procurement responds primarily to the Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013. It is relevant to the integration agenda and the ‘Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014’; and recognises Council responsibilities under Section 12 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act.  The Scottish Government guidance on Specific Considerations and Rules for Care and Support Contracts has been followed, and light touch provisions are determined to be applicable. In relation to the award the Council has taken into account the need to ensure quality, continuity, accessibility, affordability, availability and comprehensiveness of the services; the specific needs of different categories of users, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups; the involvement and empowerment of users’ and innovation. (76.9)
The Council intends to award a contract to Cornerstone Community Care and considers that award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition is justified under regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 as competition is absent for technical reasons.

description: Initial term of 5 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 5 years in 12 month increments.

description:
United Utilities (UU) have committed to the rollout of more than 900,000 Smart AMI meters during AMP 8 as a key enabler to reduce water supply volumes (via reductions in per capita consumption (“PCC”), reductions in customer-side leakage (“CSL”) and non-household (“NHH”) demand). In order to achieve this UU intend to appoint a single prime contractor to deliver the full scope of services (Smart Meter supply, meter installation and connectivity services/comms), whether directly or through sub-contract arrangements, for the 5 year AMP 8 period, with extension options up to the end of AMP 9.
UU's strategy to implement and manage it's Smart Meter estate is to appoint a single supplier to acquire, deploy, commission, network and maintain the Smart Meter estate. This is being done to provide the necessary feed of data to allow the Company and their customers, to make decisions and change behaviours based upon the consist feed of consumption data.
The appointed supplier will be responsible for:
(i)	Supply of Water Meters,
(ii)	Communications Unit (if water meter is not an integrated smart meter)
(iii)   Meter Installation
(iv)	Communications Network
(v)	Data management system and;
(vi)   Meter warranty

title: Diffusion Bonding Furnace

description:
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was formed in 1954 when the British Government set up a new body to oversee the nation’s nuclear research programme. UKAEA is a non-departmental public body (NDPB), under the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
UKAEA researches fusion energy and related technologies, with the aim of positioning the UK as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy.
As part of a renovation and upgrade plan of the Special Techniques Group (STG) capabilities, new diffusion bonding equipment has been identified to be added as a key capability.
This project's scope shall include the design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of a diffusion bonding furnace for UKAEA’s facilities at Oxfordshire.
The requirement is to procure a capability to create diffusion bonded joints and components for specified materials. Currently, in fusion, there is an increased interest in tungsten and its alloys & CuCrZr components. Diffusion bonding is envisaged as one of the most promising techniques to joint this material.
This procurement will be via a Competitive Dialogue process.
