NHS Cheshire & Merseyside ICB is conducting an initial engagement exercise to establish potential interest to deliver a GP Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) Service in Cheshire East Place and the Vale Royal area of Cheshire West Place.
For information about the geographic areas this service will cover, please visit the ICB's website www.cheshireandmerseyside.nhs.uk
The GP Special Allocation Scheme is for patients who have been referred by their existing GP.  There are currently 27 patients that are being treated in the Scheme.
The service is currently delivered by two different providers, and these contacts are due to expire on 31st March 2025. The ICB is currently considering whether to offer this opportunity as one contact in its entirety.
The ICB is also considering extending existing arrangements whilst it explores the outcome of this call for expressions of interest and Provider Selection Regime procurement options for longer term commissioning of this service.
Full details of the service are set out in the draft Service Specification within Annex 1 - please see information later in this section regarding how to access this documentation. The service provider would be expected to have sufficient staff with competencies and skills to treat the patients within the Scheme.
The proposed contact duration is 4 years and 6 months to end 30th September 2029 with the option to extend for a further 4-year period with mutual consent.
The proposed contract value is based on the following offered costs:
£2,000 retainer per annum
£88.00 In-hours consultation per patient
£110.20 Out of hours consultation per patient
£50 Telephone consultation  per patient
The above rates will equate to approximately £16,000 per annum for the entire patient cohort. The total contract value for the 4-year 6-month contract period plus the optional 4-year extension period is expected to be £136,000.  This contract value is subject to final confirmation by the ICB.
It is possible that TUPE may apply to the award of any new contract for the above service.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a worldwide inventory of around 5,700 post-1870 military shipping wrecks mainly dating from World War I and II. These wrecks are managed by the Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) team through the Wreck Management Programme (WMP), which monitors and assesses the environmental and safety concerns associated with post 1870 MOD wrecks.
In 1918 HMS CASSANDRA was part of a British force dispatched to the Baltic as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. On 5 December 1918 while en-route to Tallinn, CASSANDRA struck a mine and sank one hour later. The wreck of HMS CASSANDRA lies 36 kms west of Vilsandi, Estonia at a water depth of 95 - 100 meters.
This contract is for the provision of services to conduct a wreck survey of HMS CASSANDRA. The survey shall determine the condition of the vessel and the likely amounts of pollutants/ammunition remaining onboard. The survey shall comprise a visual and multibeam echosounder (MBES) examination of the wreck with hull thickness measurements using a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). This will see potential providers provide a turn key solution to the requirement, including provision of a vessel, work class ROV, SQEP personnel to conduct the survey and a written report of the findings. Contractors must have suitable environmental protection measures in place and must secure all necessary permissions from the Estonian government as part of the turnkey solution.
The contract duration will be five (5) months to enable mobilisation and survey report delivery.

This opportunity will be conducted through a Three-Stage Process.
This approach has been taken to encourage applications for a variety of operators including SMEs and is intended to minimise the burden of the bidding process by only requiring more input if they are successful at an earlier stage.
Those meeting the minimum Selection Criteria will be invited to submit a proposal.
Following an initial evaluation of proposals, a shortlist of 3 operators will be selected to enter the final stage to clarify and negotiate a Best and Final Offer.
Best and Final Offers will be evaluated using a combination of quality and commercial criteria and the best scoring operator will be awarded the contract.
Full details of the bidding process can be found in Attachment 1 on the Tender Documents
Full details of the evaluation process can be found in Attachment 2 on the Tender Documents
STAGE 1 - SELECTION QUESTION
Any operator can engage with the process by completing the required information in Attachment 5a in the Tender documents and answering the selection question which requires you to outline your experience. You must then upload your response to the Intend System by the deadline.
Supplier Questionnaire
To express an interest in the opportunity you need to complete the Supplier Questionnaire and Selection Question.
The supplier questionnaire requires you to complete your basic business information and your bidding model. i.e. whether you intend to submit a proposal in your own right, use any subcontracting arrangements or bid as part of a consortium.
As the University is classed as Public Body it also requires you to declare that you are not subject to any of the mandatory or discretionary exclusions.
While these are self-declarations, we will conduct due diligence on your response prior to awarding any contract to you.
The  Selection Question is a single selection question which asks You to outline your knowledge and experience in relation to operating a similar type of business.
The purpose of this question is for Us to ascertain whether You have the required experience, capacity and capability to perform the contract.
This stage also includes Bidder Engagement Events to be held at Sheffield Hallam University.

STAGE 2 - Submission of Proposal & Shortlisting
If you successfully pass the selection stage, you will be invited to Stage 2 which includes the submission of your proposal in the form of providing detailed responses to the questions outlined below.
These include the main elements of a business plan that you would submit to a bank or lender to start a business, for example your business concept, financial plan, sample menus and pricing. In addition, there are some questions to ensure that We can partner with a quality operator that shares our values.
Each question is weighted, with some being given a higher weighting than others, to indicate their relative importance.
While for this Stage the focus of Evaluation will be on the Quality of the proposals, you will also be required to submit an initial commercial proposal for discussion at Stage 3.
The initial proposals will be evaluated, and a shortlist of 3 operators will be drawn up. These operators will be invited to participate in Stage 3.
In the event that 2 or more operators score the same for the 3rd ranked place, these operators will all be invited to participate in Stage 3.
STAGE 3 - Final Evaluation & Contract Award
If you are shortlisted for stage 3 you will be invited to detailed discussions to allow us understand your proposals. While these will not be scored, they will be used to clarify and validate your proposal and will inform the final quality score.
This will include:
•	A presentation of your proposal where We will ask any clarification questions in order to fully understand your proposals
•	A visit by Us to one of your existing sites to allow us to validate certain parts of your bid.
•	If you do not have a current site available, validation of your submission will be undertaken via an additional in-person clarification interview.
We will also hold commercial discussions around what the final deal would look like prior to you submitting your best and final offer. This may include:
•	Proposed rent
•	Contract length
•	Any proposed revenue sharing arrangement
Please note that the commercial discussions will also not be scored.  Final evaluation will be based solely on the content of your submitted best and final offer (BAFO) which you will be asked to submit at the end of Stage 3.

This notice sets out that Cartrefi Conwy have awarded a contract to Protector Insurance for the provision of Insurance Services. The contract is for a period of 12 months and has a total value of 660,000 GBP. Cartrefi Conwy considers that the award of the contract is permitted under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 (the PCR). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR allows contracting authorities to award a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication on the grounds that no other supplier is available for technical reasons and where no reasonable substitute exists.

Due to the current claims history and the project work being undertaken to address this, along with the required scope of insurance coverage, Cartrefi Conwy believes the incumbent provider is the only one reasonably available to meet these needs for the required period.
Cartrefi Conwy plans to initiate a replacement process within the next 12 months.

description: IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support

procurementMethodRationale: Competition is absent for technical reasons; and the protection of exclusive rights.   ELHA use and rely upon a customer portal called the “MyHome customer portal” which is provided by a supplier called Housing Online. ELHA is procuring a contract for the provision of an HMS software system that must be interoperable, interactive and continue to be developed alongside the MyHome customer portal. ELHA’s external IT consultants have advised that  Designer Software has an exclusivity arrangement with Housing Online that includes a clause that allows Designer Software to veto any work that Housing Online might want to do that supports or develops its interactivity with a competitor’s solution.  Designer Software also has a significant shareholding in Housing Online and is capable of exercising considerable influence over its management decisions.  As a consequence of this, only Designer Software’s HMS solution will continue to be developed to ensure it is interoperable and interactive with the MyHome customer portal, which ELHA must use and is reliant upon.  ELHA’s IT external consultants have advised that that there is no reasonable alternative or substitute to contracting with Designer Software due to the exclusivity arrangements and, as there is no reasonable workaround, the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
