features:
The Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) (including Conditions of Participation) is available within the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP) and will be used to down-select between 2 and 5 suppliers to be invited to Tender.  This will also include the assessment of whether a supplier, its connected persons, associated persons or any intended subcontractors are excluded or excludable persons and whether the suppliers are UK suppliers under the Procurement Act. A clarification process will be used during the PSQ period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority.
Within the PSQ there are a mix of questions: Pass/Fail, a Fail resulting in exclusion from further participation in the tendering process; and scored Questions. For those suppliers who Pass all of the Pass/Fail questions, their overall technical score will determine their ranking. Those ranking in the Top 5 will be invited to Tender.
Where there is a tie at Positions 5 and 6 (or more), the decision on which supplier will be Invited to Tender will be based initially on the highest score on question 1 of the Technical Conditions of Participation. Where this still results in a tie, the decision will be based on the highest score for question 2. This will continue sequentially down the list for Questions 1 to 15 until a supplier is selected for 5th place. If this sequential process does not result in a clear 5th place then the Authority reserves the right to proceed to tender with additional suppliers who share equal 5th position.
An Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be issued to those successful at PSQ. A clarification process will be used during the tendering period to allow suppliers to seek clarification from the Authority. A summary of the award criteria is in this notice and will be explained in the Tender Evaluation Strategy, which will be published in the DSP, with the ITT. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria before and – where negotiation/final tenders are used – during the Tender period in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023.  This may include revision to the weightings of the sub-criteria.
The following supplementary processes may be used, with further details set out in the additional tender documents;
•	Clarifications – during the tender evaluation period
•	Negotiations – following evaluation of the Tender
•	Supplier presentations / site visits – during the Tender, and Tender Evaluation period
•	Final Tenders – following negotiations, if used
•	Preferred Supplier Stage – to confirm solutions and/or finalise the draft contract.
The Authority reserves the right to amend the procurement, where such amendment would not be substantial, as follows, including and not limited to;
•	amendments to the tender documents which may provide clarification
•	refining the specification as the competitive flexible procedure progresses
•	reducing timescales.
If any amendments are made, the Authority will consider whether any applicable tender deadlines should be revised, and whether any tender documents or notices need to be re-issued.

noLotsDivisionRationale:
1. Due to limited technical SQEP and the significant risk to training delivery presented by multiple systems needing integration there is a risk that the authority is unable to attribute responsibility between different suppliers resulting in an immediate impact to defence national & international training output.
2. Due to the dynamic nature of the technical design and exercise scale/scope requiring boundaries around potential Lots there is a risk that the extensive management / contract action may be jeopardised resulting in a loss of flexible and agile support to the training of UKSC, OGDs and JEF nations.
3. Due to multiple supplier relationships required as part of Lots there is a significant risk that supplier, contracting authority and customer relationship breakdowns may result in the failure of integrated service support to UKSC delivery of national & international defence exercises.

description:
The Future Joint Command and Staff Training (FJCAST) service will deliver combined collective training exercises to prepare commanders and their staff for contingent operations, in accordance with the Defence Exercise Programme (DXP). The service will develop and deliver exercises that incorporate both simulation and fusion doctrine. It will also integrate training across the five ‘domains’ of military operations: Air, Cyberspace, Land, Maritime and Space. While this requirement is sponsored by Integrated Warfare Centre UK STRATCOM, the contract will potentially cover end users from across MOD. The key deliverables will be command post exercises (CPXs) for a Combined (i.e. multinational) Joint Task Force (JTF) collective training up to and including tiers 3 and 4.
These exercises will be both computer-assisted (CAX) and dynamically scripted (i.e. the narrative will depend on what the training audience does during the exercise), and will take place both in the UK and overseas. The military collective training tiers are explained in volume 3 (‘Collective Training’) of Joint Service Publication (JSP) 822, which can be accessed through the UK government website.
This tender notice is for the award of a public contract through a competitive flexible procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023. It is considered a Defence and Security Contract due to its scope and therefore the relevant provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 relating to defence and security contracts are applicable.
FJCAST contract will be initially for 5 years at an estimated cost of £70M ex VAT. If option years taken, subject to affordability and approval, this may take the value to £112M ex VAT.
This will be a Service Contract (expected Fully Managed Service).
There may be a requirement for further training exercises outside of the core requirement and a tasking process will be included to cover any additional training scope.
Information to meet the FJCAST Fully Managed Service in support of collective training, from initial planning through to post-exercise after action reviews, is classified up to and including SECRET (UK or NATO). Suppliers must have the necessary Personal Security Clearances (PSCs) and must have access to facilities with security clearance (Facility Security Clearance [FSC]). Suppliers that do not hold security clearance would need to obtain by contract award. Further security requirements will be detailed during the tender process as part of the PSQ and subsequent invitation to tender.
The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is High (Reference - RAR-250303A03)
It is anticipated that TUPE will apply to this requirement.,
A previous PIN was published under Notice Reference 2024/S 000-016540

riskDetails:
Changes in standards and policies, outside of Authority control, may necessitate changes to the contract. This may cost time and money.
Changes in the character of conflict or geopolitical landscape may reduce the relevance of the service. This means the supplier will need to adapt the service to keep up with these changes.
If the above risks materialise then there is a possibility that the contract will be modified under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8.

financialTerms: All payments will be made through the Authority's Contracting, Purchasing & Finance (CP&F) system (Exostar) and will be in accordance with future contractual arrangements.

description:
NHS England would like to receive interest from potential providers for the provision of PET-CT service covered by the current Phase 1 contract in line with the service specification and associated Clinical Commissioning Policy.
This notice is to advise prospective providers in the market of the commissioner’s intention to recommission of PET-CT services for the geographies covered by the current Phase 1 contract and to provide an opportunity to engage with and participate in a market engagement exercise. This market engagement exercise provides an opportunity for prospective providers to engage with NHS England to help support and inform the commissioning and procurement approach.

PET-CT is a specialist diagnostic imaging modality that uses a small amount of radioactive substance called a radiotracer. The radiotracer is injected into a vein about an hour before the scan to give it time to reach the right cells in the body. The scan involves both a PET scan and a CT scan and takes between 30-60 minutes to complete. This type of scan is predominantly used in the staging and management of cancer, however, the modality is also used in a growing number of non-oncological indications, particularly neurological. The service is a discrete component of clinical pathways and is only available through referral from secondary care.

The radiotracers used in PET-CT scans fall into two categories, standard and non-standard. Standard radiotracers, mainly comprising ‘FDG’ make up the majority of PET-CT activity in England.  Non-standard tracers account for the remaining c10%.  Non-standard tracers commonly have a short half-life and are normally produced close to the scanning service in radiopharmacy laboratories/units (RPUs). The provision of non-standard tracers will be linked to the procurement of scanning services in any future new contracts.

The existing Phase 1 contract was entered into following a nationally run competitive selection process and the contract is close to expiring.  NHS England intends to secure continued provision of PET-CT services for the geographies covered by the current Phase 1 contract via competitive selection processes, which will begin in summer 2025.  This market engagement exercise provides an opportunity for prospective providers to engage with NHS England to help support and inform the commissioning and future procurement approach.

NHS England requires market input on the following key areas:

•	Procurement structure. It is proposed to link the provision of radiotracers to scanning services and to secure standard radiotracer provision via a standalone selection process. This would mean that successful scanning providers would be required to provide scanning services for the full range of commissioned clinical indications and radiotracers (both standard and non-standard) within the lot geography.  A second selection process for standard radiotracer supply would lead to successful bidders for radiotracer supply becoming mandated sub-contractors to scanning services contracted providers.  The cost of standard radiotracers would be reimbursed by NHS England.

•	Lotting strategy. The existing Phase I contract was divided into 4 geographical lots.  However, the structure of the NHS is markedly different in 2025 than it was in 2014/15. For example, there are now Imaging Networks, Cancer Alliances and Integrated Commissioning Systems and Boards in place. In addition, the 4 lot structure does not reflect the current level of experience in the NHS in the delivery of PET-CT. It is proposed to offer 12 lots to the market, grouped by Region and reflecting a mix of existing activity flows and Imaging Network geographies.

•	Lot limits. Whether lot limits should be applied to either/both: (i) scanning and non-standard radiotracer provision; and/or (ii) standard tracer provision. It is currently considered that the application of lot limits to both selection processes is appropriate and that they should be applied to the number of lots that can be bid for or won by a single organisation.

•	Price structure.  At present, it is considered that a fixed and marginal rate pricing structure will be applied to the scanning services element, supported by a price per patient dose for non-standard radiotracers and standard radiotracers. It is envisioned that volume-based rebates will be applied to the provision of standard radiotracers. The approach is designed to secure efficiencies based on economies of scale. Any cost of capital will need to be met by the provider and built-in to a pricing structure. It is also proposed that providers will bear the risk of inflation up to a pre-agreed limit.

•	New developments within the market. The ability of the market to respond to new developments that are available over the life of the new potential contract. This means that providers will need to be able to implement new clinical commissioning policies published by NHS England and/or to comply with any mandatory guidance published by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence.

The questionnaire and associated documents are available through the Atamis portal:
https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome

There will also be an opportunity to attend a market engagement event via Microsoft Teams at 13:30 on Tuesday 18 March 2025. If you would like to participate in this event, please email caroline.mpala@nhs.net by noon on Monday 17th March 2025.  All slides and questions and responses will be made available to all potential providers following the event. You should express an interest on the portal should you wish to attend, please note only two representatives per organisation is required.

title: Market Engagement for Positron Emission Tomography- Computed Tomography (PET-CT) (all ages)

description: NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning (referred to as the Commissioner), is undertaking a market engagement exercise to understand the current and future capacity and capability for the provision of PET-CT services in England from potential providers within this specialised commissioning area. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest and participate in the market questionnaire which will provide feedback to commissioners. Please note that this is not a call for competition although the commissioner would encourage all potential providers to respond to this market engagement exercise.  <br/>PET-CT is a nationally retained service, meaning that services are directly commissioned by NHS England.  Since 2015, PET-CT services in England have been commissioned in two separate groups of contracts known as Phase I and Phase II.   This market engagement exercise relates to the Phase I contracts which account for around 50% of all PET-CT scanning in England.

National Gas Transmission (NGT) are looking to engage with the market and seek feedback regarding land assembly and consenting services required to deliver Project Union and SCO2T Connect. Both projects reuse and build pipelines to transport Hydrogen and C02 respectively.
The projects will be delivered by region in a phased approach therefore we would like to engage with both national and regional suppliers from across the whole of the UK. The projects are planned to be delivered in Scotland, England and Wales.
To deliver SCO2T Connect supplier understanding of the differences in Scottish legislation in consenting, lands and planning compared to England and Wales will be key for delivery.
SCO2T Connect plans to repurpose and build pipelines to transport C02 across Scotland. The pipeline will comprise around 280km of repurposed methane pipeline and 61km of new build.
Project Union will deliver a combination of repurposed existing assets and new infrastructure to create hydrogen pipeline of up to 2,500km. The first phase of Project Union is planned in the East Coast of England.

title: National Engine Support Contract 2.5 Extension

description: The A400M Project Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to extend NESC2.5 by 12 months for the provision of in-service support services at Maintenance Level 2 for the TP400 engine with Rolls Royce PLC

description: The provision of in-service support services at Maintenance Level 2 for the TP400 engine on the A400M aircraft

description: Aircraft-engine repair services

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
The A400M Project Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to extend the current A400M National Engine Support Contract (NESC2.5) contract 706920454 for the provision of in-service support at Maintenance Level 2 (ML2) for the TP400 engine with Rolls-Royce PLC by a further 12 months from 1 October 2025. This is to allow additional time for preparation and placement of NESC3 contract with Rolls-Royce PLC. The value of the extension is estimated to be £12,000,000 exclusive of VAT.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.
The Europrop International (EPI) consortium is tasked with designing, developing, manufacturing and supporting the TP400 engine to power the A400M aircraft. In order to provide the required technical services at ML2 there is specific access, technical know-how and specific interoperability with EPI required which could only be provided by an EPI member company, noting EPI's position as the TP400 Engine Design Organisation and the party responsible for providing TP400 ML3 support. In addition, the contractor operating ML2 support must hold Maintenance Approved Organisation Scheme (MAOS) approval, with a Military Aviation authority (MAA) certified ML2 Repair Facility.
Rolls-Royce PLC are the only UK based EPI member company with the specialist know how, equipment and tooling required to provide ML2 support services for the TP400, including being the only operator with a fully accredited TP400 Engine Uninstalled Test Facility in the UK. A key requirement of the ML2 In-Service Support is the required Turn Around Time (TAT) for ML2 in-service support services for the TP400 engine, which is critical to the operational output required and has been calculated based on the engineering tasks required. Any non-UK based provider of this service could not consistently meet the required TAT, due to transport and customs delays requiring additional time.
Rolls-Royce PLC are also the only operator to have a fully accredited MAA certified ML2 Repair Facility with a number of installed turnover stands in the UK. This, together with their specialist knowledge, access to EPI and infrastructure to provide support services in line with technical requirements, means that they are the only operator able to conduct the ML2 support services for the UK's TP400 Engines.

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this modification, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value
(i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; Modification to the Contract has been brought about due to the unforeseen restructure within the Sports Services unit as well as the
addition of the Laurelhill Sports facility. Due to the unexpected restructure, the Council, despite their best efforts, did not have sufficient time to carry out a tender exercise. To ensure the continuity of supplies, avoidance of reputational damage and on health and safety
grounds, it was agreed to invoke a variation to the Cleaning materials and supplies contract with First Aid Supplies.
Upon evaluation, the best option for maintaining the delivery of services, compliance with the relevant procurement regulations as well as
value for money would be achieved by modifying an existing contract between LCCC and First Aid Supplies to incorporate the additional supplies and extend the contract by a period of 12 months until 31 March 2026.
Other contracts were considered however were not suitable. Regulation 72(1) (b) further permits this as a change of provider:
(i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured
under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued services; and
(ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs.
(ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this extension as the overall nature of the contract is not altered. The modification does not alter the existing contract with First Aid Supplies as similar cleaning materials will be required at all the sites.
(iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.
The increase in the expenditure in the contract brought about through the increase in supplies will not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract and indeed is currently estimated to fall within the levels permitted under Regulation 72 (5) but notwithstanding this
