accessDetails: Further commercially sensitive commercial data will be provided to all suppliers who progress past the selection (conditions of participation) stage. Suppliers will be asked to agree to and sign a non-disclosure agreement which will allow for access to a data room containing this additional information. Full details of the location of, and how to access the data room will be provided to the relevant suppliers by secure message through the University's tendering portal.

description: Tender notice on Find a Tender

features:
This procurement will include multiple tendering rounds:
Round 1 - Conditions of Participation
Round 2 - Invitation to submit Initial Tender
Round 3 - Invitation to negotiate and dialogue, and Invitation to submit Final Tender
Round 4 - Notification of outcome and Contract negotiation/award
Suppliers may submit a tender for either or both available lots.
Any individual supplier may be awarded one or both lots.
Both lots may be awarded to the same supplier should any 1 supplier submit the most advantageous tender for both lots. Suppliers who are bidding for both lots, and who remain in the final stage of the tender for both lots, will be given the opportunity to submit a Commercial Efficiency bid (made at the same time as standard bids). This will allow for an improved commercial offer for each Lot should that supplier be successful in being awarded both lots. This Commercial Efficiency bid allows the supplier to account for any commercial efficiencies they can provide by securing both lots. There will be no opportunity to improve the quality aspects of the bid for either lot through the Commercial Efficiency bid.  The details of how the Commercial Efficiency bid will be considered as part of the overall evaluation of tenders will be provided in the documentation supporting the subsequent stages of the procurement process.
All suppliers who pass the selection stage will be invited to a bidder clarification session to outline the Commercial Efficiency bid process in more detail, ensuring all suppliers understand the process in use to apply the above procedure.
It is anticipated that both lots will include negotiation. This will take place with all suppliers who remain in the process following evaluation of initial tenders and then again with the selected supplier for each lot at the final stage of the tender process.
The University will exercise its right to rely on regulation 24 of the Procurement Act 2023 and the provisions afforded by special regime (light touch) to refine award criteria as the tender progresses through its various stages. This will be within the parameters and ranges set out in this notice and will be confirmed with all suppliers remaining in the process before the relevant stage at which the criteria will be applied.
The University will not make a refinement which would result in award criteria that would, had the refinement been made earlier, have allowed one or more suppliers that did not progress beyond an earlier round or selection process to have done so.
The number of suppliers progressing past initial proposal/tender submission will be no more than 2 for each lot. The criteria for deciding the 2 for each lot will be those suppliers who submit the 2 most advantageous tenders combining both quality and commercial aspects, within the percentage ranges as outlined in this notice and as further detailed and specified in the request to submit initial tenders to be issued to those suppliers progressing beyond the initial requests to participate / conditions of participation stage.
In accordance with the provisions afforded by special regime (light touch), no minimum number of suppliers is required at any stage of the tender.

Lot 1 - International Pathway College (IPC) at the Sheffield Campus.
Sheffield Hallam University (the University) is pleased to present an opportunity for a strategic partner (the Partner) to collaborate with one of the UK's leading modern universities to manage and operate an International Pathway College (IPC). This venture combines the University's reputation for applied learning and teaching, and outstanding support for student success.
We are looking for a commercial partnership that will enable us to deliver an IPC sustainably at scale, with the ability to create a consistently excellent student experience. This will be underpinned by effective organisation and management and result in excellent outcomes for our students.
The scope will be (i) a defined set of mutually agreed Courses that will be developed for delivery through the partnership, and (ii) an operating model to support the Courses (e.g., engagement channels, support offer, systems, processes, data etc.)
The scope of the mutually agreed Courses will be a range of level 0, 4 and 6 equivalent provision which suitably prepare students for onward progression to higher level study. Partner expertise and advice will be sought on the optimum delivery model, portfolio and enrolment points to maximise recruitment.
We are seeking an experienced Partner, with a clear commitment to collaboration built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to student success. The Partnership is expected to run over a minimum period of 10 years, in part to comply with UKVI sponsor requirements.
Our recruitment aspiration for the IPC is to achieve an intake of c.500 new students to the IPC by year 5 (2030/31), with high levels of onward progression to university delivered courses throughout.
The International Pathway College will be integrated into the University's estate. Affinity and integration with the University community is key to supporting student retention and success and will enhance the student experience by allowing access to many of the resources, facilities and services distinctive to the University.
The University is open to discussion around the most appropriate legal structure to support the delivery of an IPC. However, based on advice to date, the University has a preference for contractual joint venture or service delivery contract as the legal basis for the Partnership.
The University expects to provide core infrastructure to support the delivery of the IPC with the Partner compensating the University for a proportion of costs incurred via a service fee (or equivalent) paid to the University. The sum of this fee is expected to reflect the scale and type of infrastructure and service provided by the University in support of delivery of the IPC, following negotiation with the Partner.
It is anticipated that the University will pay a progression fee/commission to the Partner following the successful transition of a student from the IPC on to a degree pathway, this is expected to be a one-off payment and in line with equivalent payments to other recruitment Partners.
The University has set a target to recruit c.500 new students per annum to the IPC by year 5 of operation. The Partner should be able to set a trajectory of growth toward this target volume, identifying anticipated volume of students across the IPC portfolio and indicate expected progression to University-delivered courses.
Further detail is included in the full tender pack.
The requirement is for circa 500 new students per annum to the IPC by year 5 and in subsequent years, trajectory of growth towards this target volume in years 1 to 4.
Lot 2 - London Branch Campus.
Sheffield Hallam University (the University) is happy to present an opportunity for a strategic partner (the Partner) to collaborate with one of the UK's leading modern universities to manage and operate our new London campus.
This venture combines the University's reputation for applied learning and teaching, and outstanding student success, with the unmatched potential of a prime location in Brent Cross Town, an award-winning landmark regeneration project in North-West London.
The new London campus represents the University's ambition to extend our reach and influence, with a clear strategic agenda for sustained long term growth.
We are seeking a commercial partner to deliver a diverse range of courses at the London campus, designed to attract high numbers of students from UK and international markets.  This partnership is critical to ensuring the operational and financial sustainability of the campus while meeting the needs of an increasingly dynamic and competitive higher education landscape.
The University offers a combination of reputation, expertise, and ambition to the partnership, and an ideal foundation to create a thriving educational hub in one of the world's most vibrant cities.
We will use this expertise and standing in the context of our Degree Awarding Powers to award high quality validated courses with long experience of strong recruitment, effective delivery, high student satisfaction and professional body accreditation; experience of working with public and private sector partners; and a robust Quality Assurance framework to ensure high standards and regulatory security.
We require a strong partner to maximise the opportunity forged by the prime location and market for a new University campus in London.
a summary of how those goods, services or works will be supplied,
The University's London building is under construction and on-track for an anticipated opening date of September 2026.
Sheffield Hallam is leasing the 6 lower floors of the first commercial building, occupying circa 110,000 sq. ft, featuring a low-carbon hybrid timber and concrete structure. The university will have its own dedicated entrance, plus cycling and shower facilities to support sustainable transport options for staff and students.
The University's preferred approach is a model in which the Partner takes maximum responsibility for delivery, under the University's brand, and delivers Sheffield Hallam quality assured and validated courses to registered students, who will graduate with a Sheffield Hallam University degree.
The University is open to discussion around the most appropriate legal structure to support the delivery of the London campus. However, based on advice to date, the University has a preference for contractual joint venture or service delivery contract as the legal basis for the Partnership.
The University's preference is for the Partner to return to the University the lease costs for which the University is liable. The Partner would be responsible for the operation of the leased areas of the building. The Partner will be expected to maximise contribution from the campus, by successfully growing student income and designing efficient delivery within the context of the University's brand and quality expectations.
The University anticipates agreement that investment (including Capital Expenditure incurred or planned) and operational costs will be borne by the Partner, irrespective of the volume of student enrolment and income. Where income is not sufficient to cover costs, the Partner will remain liable for agreed expenditure. Conversely, while the University expects a fixed share of revenue, the Partner will benefit directly from increased revenue associated with strong performance.
As part of the agreement, the University and the Partner will need to devise a financial operating model that will enable both parties to manage accountability and financial flows between parties in a transparent, effective and efficient manner, with clearly agreed responsibilities.
The taught portfolio for the London campus will consist of Sheffield Hallam University validated courses, agreed with the Partner, to meet the requirements of the market, and drive high volume of enrolment. The University has undertaken extensive research to identify and make ready an Undergraduate and Postgraduate portfolio, with existing strengths reflected in courses across Computing, Business, Finance, Accountancy, Psychology and Public Health, that are already validated and in delivery in Sheffield.
It is assumed that portfolio selection will be agreed in collaborative dialogue, based on an assessment of viability, feasibility and desirability as jointly assessed by the University and Partner. Governance will be established to manage such decisions, and the University will have final control over portfolio approval, including courses, entry requirements, tariffs and discounts, whist also enabling agile development.
At the University, the student is at the heart of everything we do. The London campus must have a vibrant culture that fosters a sense of belonging and community among students, enhancing their experience. We are committed to cultivating an environment where all students are challenged, supported and encouraged to succeed during and after their time with us.
Further detail is included in the full tender pack.
Contract award estimated December 2025, for a period of 10 years commencing with first student intake with the option for an additional 5 years by mutual agreement. Launch into market early 2026 with first student in-take September 2026.
Direct and indirect services to support student flow proportionate to the available floorspace: Phase 1: 71,342sq ft of floor space available in academic year 2026/27. Phase 2: additional 39,396sq ft of floor space (110,738sq ft in total) is planned for academic year 2029/30.
Please note, the estimated contract value for each Lot detailed in this notice are an estimate only and will depend on a number of factors including student numbers / growth and relative responsibilities and risks.  The final value of the maximum length of the term may be above or below quotes figures.

Key criteria 1.  Quality and innovation - Weighting 40%
SHOUT is the UK’s only free, 24/7 text messaging support service, powered by mental health innovations The service is proven to reach new audiences who prefer to text and helps to take pressure off local crisis phone lines and face-to-face services. Using technology, Shout is accessible by communities across the length and breadth of the UK, reaching underserved populations who would not otherwise have a means of support.

In Shout’s five years of existence, they have scaled the service to take over 2,900,000 conversations with more than 900,000 children, young people and adults who have needed immediate mental health support. Conversations with Shout's clinically-led service are taken by mental health professionals, overseen by Clinical Supervisors and a 24/7 qualified safeguarding team. Commissioning Shout enables ICBs to deliver against NHSE advisory specifications for implementation of 24/7 crisis text message services, integrated with their local services, including 111 phone service provision.

Implementation support
• Ongoing support from Partnership Manager, including quarterly review meetings, check-in calls, email support, contract review meeting and responses within 24 hours.
• Invite to Community of Practice Events and Quarterly clinical webinar for ongoing professional development and sharing key insights
• Local signposts for local texters and ‘How to' guide to help you get the best out of your keyword.
• Mental Health Innovations lead or clinician to speak at one virtual event

HOUT statistics show 39% of conversations are related to suicide, 123,000 safety plans were co-created with texters who were at imminent risk of suicide and 1-2% of texter who were at imminent risk are referred to emergency services.

55% of texters have no-one else to talk to and 38% have never spoken to anyone about their mental health before.

Only 19% of texters require an onwards signpost to another service, due to Shout clinicians being experts in de-escalating and safety planning over text. Of these 19%, this may include other national charities or local services provided to MHI through the South Yorkshire directory of services of up to 20 local services for the population.

Shout has developed an additional internal Digital Safeguarding training which is undertaken by all clinical staff biannually.  All Supervisors have access to our Safeguarding Panel composed of the Head of Safeguarding, a Senior Designated Safeguarding Lead (SDSL) and five Designated Safeguarding Leads for advice and guidance at any time.

Safeguarding forums aimed at continued professional development are held monthly. Clinical Supervisors can discuss themes emerging in text conversations in these forums and the Safeguarding Team holds drop-in sessions for discussion of specific issues.

Conversations are routinely reviewed by MHI Coaches, Clinical Quality Panel and Safeguarding Panels.  Coaches are permanent Shout staff who provide support and advice to volunteers and clinicians when they are off the platform. Their role is to be a readily available point of contact for all volunteers and staff to ensure well-being and consistent feedback and improvement across the organisation.

MHI will continue to work on Translation services to be able to work with other languages. This will require 100% confidence in an online translation service. Currently, should someone text in with a different language we will translate that the Shout service is English speaking only and direct them to our website hosting multiple resources in multiple languages

Shout is a free text service, irrelevant of what network or phone you have, whether it is a contract phone or pay as you go the service is free to text. It doesn't require any data, Wi-Fi or registration to get access. It doesn't even need a smart phone.

According to USwitch, as of 2023, half of all nine-year-olds in the UK own a smartphone and almost all (98%) UK adults aged 16-24 now have a smartphone which will allow access to the Crisis Text Service.

Key criteria 5.  Social Value - Weighting 10%

MHI are an organisation who are united behind their values and shared objectives, and:
• Encourage active contribution from staff to a supportive, positive and progressive organisational culture.
• Promote staff and volunteer wellbeing and facilitate continued growth in expertise, knowledge and professionalism.
• Put our service users at the heart of everything we do, including increased engagement of service users in the development and evaluation of

This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.

This is an Urgent Award due to severe capacity issues in the service resulting from two consultant vacancies that the Trust has been unable to fill combined with a forced closure of a treatment room and subsequent reduction to theatre lists. Efforts to find staff to fill these gaps have been unsuccessful and the additional capacity problems caused by the closure of the treatment room has compounded the issues of providing timely, safe treatment of patients.

The contract award decision was made by the Chief Executive and Interim Chief Financial Officer.

A potential conflict of interest has been recorded as some surgical staff of the provider are also employed by the Trust. No such staff were involved in the decision to award the contract. To address potential conflicts of interest all staff within the Trust are asked to complete conflict of interest forms and secondary employment forms where applicable. These are held on a register which is monitored by the Audit and Risk Governance Committee and managed by the Information governance and Human Resources departments.

features:
This procurement will follow a simple two stage competitive flexible procedure, without negotiation or dialogue. The Contracting Authority will carry out a PSQ as the first stage to shortlist a number of suppliers, evaluating suppliers on a combination of Qualification & Technical questions & an assessment of excludable suppliers, connected persons or sub-contractors in accordance with PA 2023. This is available on the DSP & will be used to down-select from an anticipated maximum of 6 suppliers to invite to tender.
At the second stage, the Contracting Authority will issue an ITT to the shortlisted suppliers & invite them to submit tenders. If at the first stage it's established that only ONE supplier is shortlisted, letters will be issued to inform unsuccessful suppliers the procurement under the competitive flexible procedure would be cancelled & would switch to Direct Award.
Once the ITT has been published to those successful at PSQ, a clarification process will be used during the tender period to allow for suppliers to ask the Authority questions. 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. During this stage there will be no negotiation or dialogue with any shortlisted suppliers.
