Thames Water intends to award an Agreement to a single supplier for a dedicated security patrol and response service to improve our protective security, particularly for our critical assets, and ensure compliance with associated industry regulations such as SEMD (Security & Emergency Measures Direction) and PSG (Protective Security Guidance). To ensure compliance, we are required to patrol our critical assets and have sufficient planned response for incidents, and resource must be trained to respond to worst case scenarios.
The scope will include a dedicated 24/7 service to provide: a) Proactive patrols and inspections of our sites to provide security presence and check for perimeter vulnerabilities; and b) Reactive rapid response to alarms and incidents, and providing security support for police and frontline staff where needed. The successful supplier will need to provide appropriate vehicles, communications and response equipment, and officers that are adequately trained in incident response, enhanced physical intervention, conflict management, etc. The supplier will also need to coordinate their staff/vehicles across our region (London & Thames Valley) with appropriate route planning to ensure our needs and SLAs are met.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Work is underway to prepare the specification to go out to tender for a new 8-year contract with the aim of going out to tender by late spring 2025 and to award the contract(s) by autumn 2025. There is a delay in the timescales due to circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not foresee. It is not possible to tender for a contract of this scale for a short term whilst the tender documents are being developed for the new separate services; due to economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and doing so would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority.

description:
Article 72
Modification of contracts during their term
1. Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Directive in any of the following cases:
(b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and that were not included in the initial procurement where a change of contractor:
(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and
(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority.
However, any increase in price shall not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract. Where several successive modifications are made, that limitation shall apply to the value of each modification. Such consecutive modifications shall not be aimed at circumventing this Directive;
(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 foresee;
(ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
(iii) any increase in price is not higher than 50 % of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.

description: Transparency notice on Find a Tender

description: Not published

description:
Solent Transport - via it's accountable body Portsmouth City Council - intend on entering into a contract with Skylift UAV to provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operation to support the Solent Transport Future Transport Zone (FTZ) in partnership with the University of Southampton and funded by the Department for Transport (DfT).
Skylift UAV will provide airspace management, drones and drone operation in accordance with their Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved Operating Safety Case and within the CAA approved Temporary Danger Area. This is to support trials that inform how drones could be integrated into airspace in the future and support research into how drones can facilitate medical logistics in the Solent area.
Solent Transport require Skylift UAV to act as Airspace Managers for the Temporary Danger Area for the duration of the trials and provide and operate drone platforms to facilitate Drones for Medical Logistics trials in accordance with the Operating Authorisation, Operating Safety Case and Temporary Danger Area constraints as set out in the Airspace Change Proposal ACP-2022-106.
The commencement of the contract will be 2nd April 2025. The contract will expire on 1st November 2025 at the completion of all BVLOS trials and reporting.
The value of the contract will be £312,990 excluding VAT.
Prior to entering into contract a 8 working day standstill period will be observed in line with the Procurement Act 23 requirements. The standstill period will at end at 23:59 on 31st March 2025.

procurementMethodDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodRationale:
1.	Prototypes & Development
Solent Transport has been awarded £28.8m by the DfT to deliver projects under the Solent FTZ. This funding is to run tests and trials of innovative approaches to transport across the Solent area. As these tests and trials take place, Solent Transport are conducting research, capturing data and inviting feedback to understand whether these innovations are improving transport options.
The award of the contract to Skylift UAV will directly enable trials for the Drones for Medical Logistics project, which is within the Solent FTZ. The trials will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Southampton and include, but are not limited to, the testing of novel ways to integrate and manage drones in shared airspace, the testing a network of airspace sensors and the carriage of medical cargo using drones. The medical cargo carriage scientific experiments within the trial plan are based on the use of Skylift UAV drone platforms specifically, and the Skylift UAV sponsored Temporary Danger Area allows for the trials related to airspace integration and management.
The findings of the trials will be reported to the DfT and CAA to inform future airspace policy and determine how the use of drones could be scaled to support health and public sector logistics.
2.	Single Supplier - Exclusive Rights
Skylift UAV acted as the sole Airspace Change Sponsor for Solent Transport's Airspace Change Proposal (ACP-2022-106) which was approved on 11 March 2025.  This was approved subject to conditions by the CAA on 11 March 2025.
To achieve this approval, Skylift UAV are also required to hold an Operational Authorisation which has been granted by the CAA. The Operational Authorisation, which ensures safe operation of Skylift UAV's drones and that third party risks are reduced to an acceptable level, is unique to Skylift UAV in the context of the proposed Temporary Danger Area for ACP-2022-106 and is based on the detail of Skylift UAV's Operating Safety Case. There are therefore no other operators with the Operating Authorisation that are able to operate within the Solent Transport FTZ Temporary Danger Area.
3.	Extreme & Unavoidable Urgency
ACP-2022-106 has been approved on the basis that the Temporary Danger Area will be activated for up to 6 months at the earliest 1 May 2025 and close at the latest 31 October 2025. The trials are scheduled to take place within that 6-month period between 1 June 2025 and 31 September 2025 for at least seven weeks of this period. It is not possible to undertake a competitive tender process and complete the Solent FTZ project objectives as it would require any other operators to seek a new Airspace Change Proposal and evidence that they hold their own Operational Authorisation from the CAA that would allow them to complete the BVLOS flying required by our project by the end of the FTZ funded period which is 31 December 2025.

CKH has commenced a procurement procedure for a replacement contract in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 which is currently underway, and the proposed extension seeks to facilitate the time required to conclude that procurement exercise.

reviewDetails: The Contracting Authority will conduct itself in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

description: Overhaul and refurbishment work

procurementMethod: limited

mainProcurementCategory: works

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale: This VTN gives notice that CKH is entering into a deed of variation (the "Contract") to award an extended contract to Mears. The estimated increase in the value of the Underlying Contract is estimated to be £20,000,000 to £25,000,000 (twenty to twenty five million pounds). A procurement procedure is not necessary on the basis that the award of the Contract is permitted pursuant to regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Contract will award additional works to Mears, and will have the effect of modifying the Underlying Contract in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Whereas the Underlying Contract had an original value of £300,000,000 to 375,000,000 (three hundred to three hundred and seventy five million pounds) across a full possible fifteen (15) year term, the Underlying Contract will be varied in order to extend the duration of the Underlying Contract by a period of one (1) year, and the estimated value of the Underlying Contract is increased by £20,000,000 to £25,000,000 (twenty to twenty five million pounds). This modification is being made in accordance with regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Namely, the proposed modification is not substantial within the meaning of regulation 72(1)(8) on the basis that: 1.the modification does not render the Underlying Contract materially different in character - the proposed modification remains limited to the same type, scope and nature of works, and will be delivered in the same geographic region and on identical commercial terms. The modification is limited to an extension of the Contract's duration, and for a limited time period to facilitate the re-procurement of the opportunity as a whole. 2.the modification does not introduce conditions which would have (a) allowed for the admission of other candidates, (b) allowed for the acceptance of another tender, or (c) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure - the relatively short extension is not a significant change and is unlikely to have changed the outcome of the procurement. 3.the modification does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the contract – the extension is limited to identical commercial terms currently in use under the Underlying Contract, CKH is satisfied that this does not amount to an over-compensation. 4.the modification does not extend the scope of the contract considerably: the extension is limited in duration to facilitate the re-procurement process, and the specification and commercial terms remain unamended. For the reasons set out, the proposed modification does not constitute a substantial modification and is permitted by regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

noLotsDivisionRationale:
The transport (Taxi) service requirements for each route vary, as different vehicle types-such as saloon cars, MPVs, wheelchair-accessible taxis, and minibuses-may be suitable for the same route depending on passenger needs. Because of this flexibility, structuring the procurement using predefined "lots" would be too restrictive and could limit competition and efficiency.
Instead, running mini competitions among all framework providers allows for greater adaptability and resilience. This approach ensures that providers can submit proposals with different vehicle types that meet the route requirements, increasing the likelihood of securing the best-value and most appropriate transport solutions. Additionally, this method enhances service continuity by enabling alternative vehicle options if specific types become unavailable.
By avoiding a rigid "lots" structure and instead facilitating competition within the framework, we maximize both flexibility and efficiency while ensuring that transport services remain responsive to varying needs.

method: withAndWithoutReopeningCompetition

description:
There is no limit to the number of suppliers that can be party to the framework.
Route Allocations - Call off Process
Direct Awards - Direct awards of Emergency placements to the highest ranked framework provider who can meet the specific requirement where; the services (route) to be supplied under the contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and as a result the contract (route) cannot be awarded on the basis of a mini competition. For the benefit of doubt, urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the Authority and could not have been foreseen by the Authority.
Mini-Competition - Once a specific requirement (route) is identified by the Authority for services under the Framework, the Authority may circulate a full specification to all the Providers on the Framework.
Providers will have a set period in which to submit their quotations for delivering the specific requirements as set out in the circulated specification. The Authority will issue its award criteria which will be used to award scores to Providers' quotations.
Routes may be awarded based on the most advantageous response (price and quality) or price only. The Harrow and Brent Transport Hub of the Authority that issues the specification will evaluate the quotations submitted by the Providers and then award the contract for the Provider that has the highest score or lowest price.
In the event the award criteria is both price and quality, then the price weighting shall range between 30% to 70% and the quality weighting shall range between 30% to 70%.
In the event the award is to be based on price only, if two or more bids received are within a maximum of £15 per day of each other, the Authority reserves the right not to allocate the route to the lowest bid. The Authority may then allocate the award based on the order of priority as follows:
I.	reasonable distribution of routes among Service Providers
II.	age of vehicle - newer vehicles preferred
III.	fuel type - electric preferred over hybrid, hybrid preferred over petrol, petrol preferred over diesel
IV.	vehicle capacity

Our current operating model is as follows:
• One main bank account for Durham County Council (DCC).
• All payments/income are paid into the main DCC bank account.
• Support function to translate one main bank account into 950 individual virtual accounts and undertake reconciliation activity.
• Software package as Client Record Management System (CRMS).
• Pre-paid cards to make individual payments to customers daily, weekly, monthly.
• Individual reconciliation of pre-paid card payments and transactions to individual virtual accounts.

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal. CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.
Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils’/Authorities’ opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.

The procurement assessment and decision was undertaken by the NHS South West London (SWL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) Board Members, NHS SWL ICB Procurement Oversight Group and the NHS SWL ICB Senior Management Team. Conflicts of interest identified among SWL ICS Clinical Directors: [1]. The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this conflict and have agreed to manage it by excluding the conflicted member from related discussions and decision-making processes where their other roles would create a conflict of interest.
The criteria used to award the contract were mapped to five key areas and the proposed weightings reflect the priorities outlined in the government's 2025 mandate to NHS England, which focuses on the need for high-quality, efficient, and equitable healthcare services.
1) Quality and Innovation (30%) is given the highest weighting, as the mandate gives much emphasis on improving patient outcomes, reducing waiting times, and scaling innovative practices to address systemic challenges.
2. Value (25%) is weighted significantly to align with its focus on financial discipline, productivity improvements, and ensuring every pound is spent effectively and knowingly.
3) Integration, Collaboration, and Service Sustainability (20%) supports the vision of shifting care from hospitals to communities, fostering collaboration across systems, and working to ensure long-term sustainability.
4) Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities, and Facilitating Choice (15%) reflects a commitment to tackling health disparities and improving access to care, and also to empowering patients with greater choice.
5) Social Value (10%) is weighted to reflect the NHS's role in supporting local employment, environmental sustainability, and community well-being,
The existing provider demonstrated capability in meeting all five key criteria. All scored and pass/fail criteria were met by the provider whom the relevant authority intends to award the contract. The provider has satisfied the requirements of the original contract. Furthermore, the proposed contracting arrangements are not undergoing significant changes.
