Monmouthshire County Council is seeking to commission an experienced organisation to provide semi-independent supported lodging support to Young People with complex support needs within Monmouthshire.
Potential young people considered for the service will have a range of support needs, some of which will be complex support needs and require additional / enhanced housing related support because of:
Young people 16+ transitioning out of residential and / or foster care placements;
Transitioning out of care as a pathway to independent living; or
Where current models of accommodation / support are deemed unsuitable due to their risk factors or level of support required.
The needs profile of young people will feature multiple needs including but not limited to:
Trauma / Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs);
Attachment difficulties;
Linguistic barriers;
Specific cultural or religious requirements;
A limited support network outside of professional support and/or targeted 3rd sector community support;
Risk taking behaviours associated with absconding;
Vulnerable to exploitation with features of unsafe relationships, exploitation, and financial vulnerability;
Additional complex needs including poor physical or mental health, or substance misuse etc.
The Service Provider understands young people may be looked after by the Council or maybe care leavers.
The service will aim to help offer a stable, consistent environment, so that the young people can be encouraged to build their independent skills.  This will enable them to reflect and make appropriate choices for their future, enabling them to live independently and successfully within the community.
The support offering will be person centred, outcome focused, trauma informed and will aim to build the young people’s skills to support successful transitions into independent living.  This will be provided via a dedicated supported accommodation pathway with wrap-around trauma informed support.
Monmouthshire County Council will hold an online Market Engagement Event to understand the level of potential interest that exists in the market, your views about what can be delivered, and timescale for setup.

Lot One: At home and/or community support

The procurement is for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) services under the Public Frameworks Regulations 2015, as specified in Schedule 3 of the Regulations (“Regulations”).
Accordingly, the Council is only bound by those parts of the Regulations detailed in Chapter 3 ‘Particular Procurement Regimes Section 7, Social and Other Specific Services’ 74 to 76 of the Public Frameworks Regulations 2015. The Council is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations. The procedure which the Council is following is set out within this ITT.
The agreement is based upon the basic principles of a framework agreement, and although there are some similar aspects, it does not fully operate in the same way as outlined in regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
The Local Authority will create a “pseudo framework agreement” (based on CCS guidance) and have set out clearly how we intend to operate the framework agreement from the outset through the OJEU notice, Tender Document and Call-off Schedule, which also details the timeline for when it will be reopened. This meets the duty of transparency and equal treatment, which are the main guidelines to follow when setting up an LTR framework

description:
Following on from the market engagement notice in late 2024, The Home Office now invites suppliers to submit tenders for a Mass Fatality Capability Resilience Storage Framework.
In the event of a major incident resulting in a large number of fatalities which could overwhelm existing body storage capacity the Home Office would provide contingency support to the requesting local authority. The Home Office seeks to replace its current capability with a more efficient operating model. This opportunity will support the Home Offices strategy.
The initial term is 2 years, with the options to extend yearly for up to 2 additional years (2+1+1).
Our vision
We believe a multiple lot framework agreement would be best suited to meet the demands of this capability. Suppliers offering alternative solutions will bid for a place on a capability lot, this will involve suppliers maintaining access to provisions which could be called upon for deployment by the Authority. These aims will be delivered with the responses of this document in mind to ensure that we consider any novel and/or unique approach that could be utilised as a solution.
The scope for this provision is predominantly England, however there is a possibility that the Devolved Administration Governments (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) may also enrol.
We will outline the configuration of our core requirement of storage for up to 700 fatalities across three phases (although the authority may adjust the planned fatalities storage of one or more phases to ensure a successful core requirement is delivered). Each phase will be put to the market as separate lots, although we would welcome multiple bids if relevant and the supplier is able to offer a viable to solution to multiple.
Soft Shell:
We plan to have a minimum call-off storage of 100 fatalities for the 'soft shell' portable temporary body storage (including some bariatric). Soft shell may require cover for adverse weather and should be deployable within twenty-four hours.
Hard Shell:
Hard shell may be similar to the existing ISO container body storage units ("hard shell"). The characteristic of this phase is that units should remain versatile and robust to all weather events and may require hard standing. They offer refrigeration and have the ability to freeze. They should provide storage of up to 150 of the deceased (including bariatric). Delivery and assembly should take no longer than three days.
Temporary Building:
The final tier relates to an alternative building/ structure that could be housed outside independently, similar to Nightingale hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic. They should allow both refrigeration and freezing. The core requirement will be at least 450 fatalities including bariatric and/ or fragmented fatalities. This will need to be deployed within 5 days.

title: Design Services for Strabane Public Realm - SCM ID: 082/13/SEC

description:
The Strabane Public Realm project is for the implementation of a high public realm within the Strabane Town Centre. Derry City and Strabane District Council is the Contracting Authority.
In November 2013, RPS were awarded the contract to deliver and manage the Strabane Public Realm contract from Department of Finance's (CPD) Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement for Integrated Consultant Teams Contract.
The contract value of this commission was £139,405.00 for provision of consultancy led professional services. It was anticipated at the time of tender works would be completed in March 2016.
In 2019 the project was put on hold following the completion of RIBA Stage D, as it was awaiting funding. At that time, the ICT had completed RIBA Stages A-D.
The project was on hold from 2019 until September 2024. Funding is now in place for the completion of the project. The original project completion was due in 2016. Currently it is anticipated that the completion will be in 2027.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority, intends that the Integrated Consultant Team appointed by Strabane District Council in 2013, complete the commission for which they were appointed.
There have been a number of consequences as a result of the prolonged stand still of the project. During this time, the statutory approvals for the project have lapsed such as the planning approval needing to be resubmitted for renewal, and other changes have occurred that could not have been reasonably been foreseen, that have impacted the project.
Additionally, the project has been adversely affected by the high rates of inflation during recent years. Neither the high rates of inflation nor the protracted period of standstill of the project could have been reasonably foreseen by the appointed consultant at the time of tendering for the project in 2013.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority, is minded to amend the contract with RPS, by utilising the X1 clause which is currently in the Contract Data Part 1 of the commission to address the inflationary impact on fees for the remainder of the contract. The scope of the project has not materially changed.
The original appointment was made using a NEC3 Option A Professional Services Contract included an X1 Clause (Price Adjustment for inflation clause), however this had not been applied to any of the rates or activities within the contract to date. At the time of appointment of RPS, it was anticipated that the project would be complete by 2016. The anticipated completion date is now currently 2027, some nine years later. During this time there have been unprecedented inflationary rises. In order to mitigate this significant increase, it seems reasonable to apply the X1 clause going forward for the remainder of the project.
The Contracting Authority is minded that the proposed change to the contract is in accordance with regulation 72 of the Public Procurement Regulations Contracts. In this,it states that:
'Contracts may be modified without a new procurement procedure where the modifications , irrespective of their value , are not substantial in that (a) the modifications do not render the contract materially different from the one initially concluded, (b) the modification does not introduce conditions which had they been part of the initial procurement procedure , would have -
(i) allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected,
(ii)allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted, or
(iii)attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;'
Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases:-
(c)where all of the following conditions are fulfilled:-
(i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;
(ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
(iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.
The Contracting Authority is of the opinion as the X1 clause has been included in the original tender, the tender selection would have remained unchanged. It would not have attracted additional participants to the tender process, especially as the appointment was from a framework, nor would it have changed the candidates selected, nor the outcome of the tender selection.
Under the terms of the Public Procurement Regulations 72, a Voluntary Ex- Ante Transparency EAT notice is required to cover a variation to the contract between Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority and the Integrated Consultant Team led by RPS for the Strabane Public Realm Project.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority is therefore publishing this Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice to cover a variation to the contract and for additional tasks to be carried out necessary as a result of changes in legislation, lapses in statutory approvals. It should be noted that the scope of the original commission is not deemed to have changed.

In order to update the system to the latest version and deploy the best practice configuration, Northumbria Police require the assistance of Crown through use of their professional services. Northumbria Police do not have the in-depth knowledge of the system to be able to carry out this work alone, without adding significant risk to both the timeliness and the quality of the deployment of the latest version.

procurementMethodRationale:
The award is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because the competition is absent for technical reasons.
The system is owned, managed and distributed by Crown Computing Limited and there are no other organisations that have the knowledge of the software as Crown do not partner with other organisations. Therefore competition is absent as there is only Crown who would be able to support the works required from a technical perspective.

title: Early Market Engagement (EME) for Delivery of Evaluation of Wajibika Programme in Tanzania

description:
The United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (“FCDO”) is seeking a service provider (“Supplier”) to design and deliver the evaluation of the Wajibika programme in Tanzania. Wajibika is co-funded by the FCDO and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (“SDC”), represented by the Embassy of Switzerland in Tanzania (Swiss Embassy). £13.5m Wajibika programme commenced on 1 August 2024 and is expected to end on 31 March 2030, unless extended in line options set out in the contract.
Wajibika is an action-oriented Swahili word meaning to ‘take action, be accountable, be responsible’. Wajibika’s intended impact is a more open, inclusive society in Tanzania where government demonstrates greater accountability to the needs of its citizens. This will be delivered through three strategic outcome areas: 1) effective civic space and inclusive political processes; 2) media freedom and access to information; and 3) Government of Tanzania (GoT) knowledge, will and capacity for public service reforms. Wajibika will be an adaptive programme to enable it to effectively respond to changes in the political economy.
The contract for Evaluation of Wajibika programme is to ensure that FCDO and Swiss Embassy can understand, and maximise, the impacts and effectiveness of the programme, and to contribute to the global evidence base of what works in accountability programming.
FCDO invites interested suppliers to attend an Early Market Engagement (EME) session relating to the procurement of Evaluation of Wajibika programme services. This EME will take place 9:00-10:00am UK time / 12:00 noon – 1 p.m. EAT on Friday 7 March 2025 and will be online via Microsoft Teams, with representation from both the FCDO Programme and Commercial Teams in Tanzania.
