Details on why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union is lawful:
Under Regulation 44, Utilities are required to make a 'prior call for competition' in restricted procedures (Regulation 44(3)) and this can be made by way of periodic indicative notice, notice on the existence of a qualification system (e.g. the RISQS notice on c2c's website) or a contract notice.
Therefore, where a party uses a compliant notice on the existence of a qualification system, there is no need to also issue a contract notice.

The Authority is engaging with potential Suppliers to seek views and feedback to the information provided and questionnaire.  This is intended to be used to assist the Authority on deciding the next steps for the procurement of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites
The Authority website serves as a vital digital gateway, providing residents and the public with access to all local authority services and information.
Currently, the website is managed using a CMS developed by the Authorities Software Development Team.
MyAccount, forms, and CRM are additional in-house developments that form an integral part of the Authorities digital customer services platform.  This integration was aimed to benefit customers and reduce service delivery costs.  However, some parts of the digital customer service platform were coded many years ago using older technologies that have since evolved.  These integrations impact on the local authority’s ability to develop the public website, respond to service changes, meet customer requirements and accessibility requirements.
Need -
1.	Complex requirements: Local authorities have complex and diverse needs, including managing large volumes of data, ensuring accessibility, and integrating with various other systems.
2.	Security concerns: Local authorities handle sensitive information, including personal data of residents.  The local authority requires a CMS with advanced security features to protect this data.  A supplier must make rectifying vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks a priority.
3.	Scalability: The local authority needs a CMS that can scale accordingly.  The local authority needs a CMS built with scalability in mind.
4.	Compliance and regulations:  Local authorities must adhere to strict regulations and standards, such as GDPR for data protection, WCAG 2.2 for accessibility and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) for Cyber Security.  The Authority needs a CMS with a system architecture that provides for our business need whilst delivering compliance against a complex range of regulatory requirements.
5.	Microsites:  The Authority needs a CMS that enables the Authority to create microsites.  The creation must be a simple and fast using a template with the ability to tailor the site's appearance and functionality.
6.	User experience: Local authorities serve a wide range of users, including residents, businesses, and the public.  The Authority needs a CMS to provide the optimal user experience needed to meet the diverse needs of users, ensuring customer satisfaction and efficiency of processes.
7.	Long-term viability: Local authorities require a CMS that can support our operations for the long term.  The CMS provider should have a track record of public sector provision and have good engagement with their customer base on future enhancements and improvements for both maintenance of compliance and regulations but also to ensure that future developments and trends in web presence can be accommodated.
8.	Financial viability: Consideration will be made of the total cost of ownership, including licensing fees, hosting, maintenance, and any additional costs for plugins or extensions.
Provision of a CMS that effectively supports the Authority’s website functionality, security, and growth.  The CMS will have a user-friendly interface that the team can easily manage and navigate.
We are looking for a CMS that allows for customisation to match our brand and business processes.  This includes themes, templates, and the ability to add custom features where needed.
The ideal CMS will offer have a strong support system, comprehensive documentation, customer support, and an active user community.
It is important to note that this is not an invitation to tender, it is strictly a pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire, intended to capture market information via a Prior Information Notice (PIN).
There are a number of questions within the Market Engagement Questionnaire for you to answer but it is not compulsory to answer all of them. We are happy to receive any feedback you wish to offer.
Responses to the Market Engagement Questionnaire imply no commitment on Suppliers to engage in any subsequent procurement process, nor do they confer any advantaged status or guarantee of inclusion in any subsequent procurement process for Suppliers who do respond.
The Authority reserves the right to withdraw this Market Engagement Questionnaire at any time and is not liable for any costs incurred as a result of Suppliers engaging with this process.
Potential Suppliers are asked to answer the questions set out in the questionnaire (pp9-11 of "Pre-Procurement market engagement questionnaire for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites"). This can be found on the Council's eTendering Portal Pro Contact. The link to the eTendering portal is https://procontract.due-north.com/ and the reference number is DN764372. Please log in (or register if you do not have a log in) and the questionnaire will be available to download.
Please upload your completed questionnaire to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Additional information: Completed questionnaires must be uploaded to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Please leave sufficient time to do this, as uploading times can vary depending on the file size.
Documents must be uploaded in an Open Document format, and all attachments will ideally be Zipped in to one file. (Tip: Use PDF documents where possible to reduce file sizes).
Please note: Organisations can upload / amend their response via the ProContract e-Tendering Portal at any time prior to the submission deadline. The response is secure and only visible to the organisation up until the closing deadline date / time at which point the system is locked to the organisation and contents become visible to the Council.
PLEASE REMEMBER: This is not an Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise. The Authority is intending to initiate a procurement process for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites in the future, but this pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire is a call for information only.
The Authority will consider the responses received and then consider its options.
Please note that the date set out in II.3 is not certain and could be changed.
Please note that the 'Type of Contract' as set out in II.1.3 says 'Services' but in fact it could be any combination/hybrid of goods/systems and/or services.

A briefing note for suppliers: Changes to procurement in Defra

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to Corporate Solutions - Professional Services. The intention is to share some updates regarding the application of the new Procurement Act in this area. Other such notices may be published by other category teams within Defra, and if your business operates across multiple categories, you should review all relevant notices for updates.

The Procurement Act 2023 is new legislation that will change the way the public sector buys goods and services. It aims to:
•	create a simpler and more flexible commercial system
•	open up public procurement to new entrants
•	take tougher action on underperforming suppliers
•	embed transparency throughout the commercial lifecycle

The changes are expected to start on 24 February 2025.

The existing legislation will apply until 24 February 2025. After 24 February 2025, it will only apply to procurements and contracts that started before this date, i.e. if the Invitation to Tender (ITT) was published, a voluntary transparency notice was published, or a pricing request was issued.

The new features for suppliers include:
•	a central digital platform
•	a simplified bidding process
•	more flexible commercial frameworks
•	a new duty on contracting authorities to consider barriers facing SMEs and VCSEs
•	a stronger exclusions framework

What will stay the same

If you are an existing or potential supplier to Defra and have live contracts, are a member of an existing framework, or are planning to bid for a procurement that has or will start prior to the new regime commencing, that arrangement will continue to be subject to the existing Public Contracting Regulations until the contract ends. The same principle applies to any contracts that are subject to any other associated procurement regulations, such as The Utilities Contracts Regulations.

What you need to do

If you are a supplier, you should:
•	read the government guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/transforming-public-procurement
•	sign up for regular TPP updates: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMgwpZ1kwubGUpKMLwu0ZpHS8zdWmXKgaHUJKRl-SwqQT95w/viewform
•	read the government TPP Knowledge Drops: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-official-transforming-public-procurement-knowledge-drops

We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the new Central Digital Platform using these guidance videos:
•	An overview of the central digital platform, an enhanced Find a Tender service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSfxoZoV3yI
•	How to register an organisation and the first administrator in 3 easy steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnjCa4swtjA
•	Detailed walkthrough: How an administrator completes and updates supplier info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4ZdbMGRqeQ
•	The central digital platform, an enhanced Find a Tender service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSfxoZoV3yI

If you have a question about the new procurement act, contact the Transforming Public Procurement helpdesk at: procurement.reform@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

Further information

There may be little change in this category due to a continued use of existing frameworks.

This is a voluntary transparency notice that acknowledges the Government Property Agency's (GPA's) intention to contract directly with Security Services Group (SSG) for the delivery of maintenance services for a period of 10 months at a proposed value of £440,000.
The GPA intends to award the contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) for the reasons provided below. The GPA therefore considers the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice to be permitted by Part 2 of the PCR.

Serviced Apartment Accommodation for patients and family/carers of Proton Beam Therapy. The aim of the service is to allow patients who are receiving treatment at The Christie hospital in Withington, Manchester (The Christie NHS Foundation Trust [The Trust]), but who live more than ~45mins travel away from the hospital, to access the services without placing undue travel burdens upon these patients, their families and care groups.
The Christie, as a Comprehensive Cancer Centre and the largest single-site specialist cancer hospital in the UK, is delivering specialist treatments in greater numbers than before, and is increasing the numbers of such treatments offered at the site.
The result of the Christie’s growth in specialist treatments is a wider geographical catchment area for patient referrals; patients are now being seen from a supra-regional and national footprint, considerably more widely distributed than the cancer network in Greater Manchester.

description:
The Authority is exploring the status of EHDV-8 products that have the potential to be available for use in 2025 (either as an authorised product or emergency use under Schedule 4) to help to inform our control strategy for EHD and consideration as to whether government intervention is required to facilitate access to the UK livestock sector of any product that may become available.

EHDV-8 was identified in for the first time in southern Europe in November 2022. It is not currently present in the UK. While there is no evidence of circulation currently, we expect a continued threat of incursion as EHD could also spread to the UK if infected live animals, or their germinal products, are imported from countries where EHD is circulating. It is widely accepted  that access to vaccine will be an important tool to protect the health and welfare of susceptible species and for livestock keepers for whom trade in live animals is important.

The Authority is interested in:
	 the details of any suitable products currently under development
	the extent of developments
	safety and efficacy testing, timelines for submitting applications for marketing authorisation to the VMD.
	the type of technology used to develop the vaccine, production capacity (current and forecast)
	whether the specific vaccine is authorised elsewhere in the world or based on an already authorised EHDV vaccine.
	whether products under development will be monovalent or multivalent and which serotypes would be included in multivalent products.
	We are also interested to understand the likely wholesale and retail costs of any product likely to be available. Additional information: This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition. It should be noted that this PIN invites individuals and organisations to express an interest only, and although it is not part of a formal pre-qualification process it may be used to inform discussions with vaccine suppliers.

You will need to express your interest in any potential future tender opportunity once/if a contract notice is published in Find a Tender and on Contract Finder. It should be noted that this PIN invites individuals and organisations to express an interest only. Those wishing to provide information requested here should contact Louise Moizer (louise.moizer@defra.gov.uk), by the end of March 2025  to inform our strategy development.

title: Supply of Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Serotype 8 (EHDV-8) Vaccine

description:
The Authority is seeking to identify existing and potential suppliers of Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Serotype 8 (EHDV-8) vaccine who have product currently under development. We are keen to understand the timelines for applications to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) for a marketing authorisation or emergency use consideration under Schedule 4 of the Veterinary Medicine Regulations 2013, as well as for production timescales for any product to be made available to the UK market.

We are specifically interested in:
o	the types of inactivated or novel (e.g. RNA) EHDV-8 vaccine being developed.
o	the efficacy and period (onset and duration) of immunity they might offer.
o	which species they are being developed for
o	whether the vaccine is DIVA
o	available safety data in the target species
o	the proposed number of doses in the vaccination schedule,
o	storage conditions
o	readiness to submit the necessary information to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate
o	the extent to which the UK livestock sector could be supplied with such product in 2025
o	any information that might be provided about potential costs; any expectations around the vaccines being manufactured under the conditions of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
o	The Authority will not be considering live EHDV vaccines.

The Authority is seeking this information to inform decisions around guarantees of supply to the UK market. An estimated total value is therefore not provided at this stage.
