description:
The Fixed Connectivity within Defence Digital Programme team , part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), intends to award a single source contract for a total of 9 months to Sure South Atlantic Ltd for the provision of a Business Broadband Service to British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI) Falkland Islands.
This contract will provide a business broadband service via a dedicated international connection with of an aggregated 450Mbps capacity to a multitude of sites to service 1084 users across the Falkland Islands.
As some of the sites require a fast connection and others can tolerate a slower connection, the sites have been prioritised as Priority 1, 2 and 3. Most sites will have mix of wired and wireless connectivity, but some priority sites are wired only.
The core distribution connections for different sites will be achieved by different means such as fibre, DSL, Point-to multipoint (PMP Radio), and via microwave radio. The authentication of these services will be in accordance with the MOD’s JSP policy, and the services will not have any direct connectivity to MOD services.
Welfare broadband is excluded from this requirement.
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for Technical Reasons. This is for the following reasons.
Only Sure South Atlantic Ltd own and have access to the required mast/relay towers and infrastructure in-situ on the Falkland Islands to deliver these Business Broadband services, meaning they are the only supplier that can meet the MOD’s requirements. For another supplier to attempt to provide this Business Broadband Service would require them to build and install new towers and infrastructure across the Falkland Islands which would result in substantial and disproportionate additional time and cost implications, including an unacceptable capability gap.

description:
Provision of reactive and planned Highways Maintenance Services in Westminster City Council’s administrative area. This VEAT notice is in respect of a proposed extension to the contract awarded in 2014. It is not the award of a new contract. See additional information at Sections II.2.4 and IV.1.1.
Contract A
Highways Management, Maintenance and Public Realm Projects – This includes reactive repairs as well as planned resurfacing, repaving and major public realm schemes.
Please note that Contract A incorporate the original contract D responsibilities for Gully Services in 2017. Original value of this contract was £3.2m.

description: Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads

procurementMethodRationale:
This notice does not relate to the award of a new contract, but rather the modification of an existing contract described at Section II.2.4 above (the “2014 Contract”).
The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a  single supplier framework which had been procured by Westminster City Council (‘the Council’).  The 2014 Contract was for an overall term of twelve years to expire is due to expire on 31st of March 2026.
The proposed contract modification is limited to an amendment to the service period to provide for an additional six months to 30th  September 2026 and ancillary amendments to give effect to that change. The services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same.  The extension of the 2014 Contract for the further six months will be on the basis of the existing pricing and payment mechanisms provided for in the contract.
The estimated value of the six month extension is £13,610,000 against a spend to date value of £408,200,000. The actual value of the spend during the six month extension will depend on the volume and specifics of the works and services ordered under the contract during the six month period.
Further detail regarding the proposed contract extension can be found in the decision report available here: Decision - Highways Contract Update | Westminster City Council

The Council considers that the proposed modification to the 2014 Contract is not ‘substantial’ pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (‘PCR’). Accordingly, the modification may lawfully be agreed between the parties and implemented without the need to conduct a fresh procurement procedure.
  Regulations 72(1)(e) and 72(8) PCR have been satisfied for the following reasons:
•	The character of the 2014 Contract and the services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same and the 2014 Contract is not rendered materially different in character from the one originally concluded.
•	The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a single supplier framework and the extended contract term would have made no difference to the outcome of the procurement had it been part of the initial procurement procedure.
•	The proposed extension is for a six month period only and does not considerably extend the scope of the 2014 Contract which was for an overall term of 12 years.
•	The proposed extension is on the basis of existing contract pricing and payment mechanisms and does not change the economic balance of the 2014 Contract in favour of the Contractor in a manner not provided for in the 2014 Contract.
•	There is to be no replacement of the contractor to whom the Council had initially awarded the 2014 Contract.
Further, the Council considers that it may also rely on Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR for the six-month extension.

The key criteria were weighted as follows:
Quality and Innovation – 25%
Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability – 30%
Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice – 25%
Value – 10%
Social Value – 10%

This is a well-established service which has been delivered by the incumbent provider to a high standard. The provider has the ability to provide ACHD surgeons for ACHD theatre lists to support reducing waiting times for ACHD patients. Due to the close geographical location of Alder Hey to Liverpool Heart & Chest, this ensures the surgeons are already in close proximity and are able to support the patients out of hours and work closely with LHCH cardiac and aortic colleagues. There are also efficiencies for patients when transitioning from paediatric services at Alder Hey to adult services at LHCH.  The Trusts are in close geographical proximity which assists with familiarity for patients and families when care transfers.

title: Highways Maintenance Services – Contract C – Bridges and Structures

description:
Provision of reactive and planned Highways Maintenance Services in Westminster City Council’s administrative area. This VEAT notice is in respect of a proposed extension to the contract awarded in 2014. It is not the award of a new contract. See additional information at Sections II.2.4 and IV.1.1.
Contract C
Bridges and Structures – This includes maintenance management and improvement of the City Council’s bridges and structures

description: Construction work for bridges and tunnels, shafts and subways

procurementMethodRationale:
This notice does not relate to the award of a new contract, but rather the modification of an existing contract described at Section II.2.4 above (the “2014 Contract”).
The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a  single supplier framework which had been procured by Westminster City Council (‘the Council’).  The 2014 Contract was for an overall term of twelve years to expire is due to expire on 31st of March 2026.
The proposed contract modification is limited to an amendment to the service period to provide for an additional six months to 30th  September 2026 and ancillary amendments to give effect to that change. The services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same.  The extension of the 2014 Contract for the further six months will be on the basis of the existing pricing and payment mechanisms provided for in the contract.
The estimated value of the six month extension is £3,480,000 against a spend to date value of £104,400,000. The actual value of the spend during the six month extension will depend on the volume and specifics of the works and services ordered under the contract during the six month period.
Further detail regarding the proposed contract extension can be found in the decision report available here: Decision - Highways Contract Update | Westminster City Council

The Council considers that the proposed modification to the 2014 Contract is not ‘substantial’ pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (‘PCR’). Accordingly, the modification may lawfully be agreed between the parties and implemented without the need to conduct a fresh procurement procedure.
  Regulations 72(1)(e) and 72(8) PCR have been satisfied for the following reasons:
•	The character of the 2014 Contract and the services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same and the 2014 Contract is not rendered materially different in character from the one originally concluded.
•	The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a single supplier framework and the extended contract term would have made no difference to the outcome of the procurement had it been part of the initial procurement procedure.
•	The proposed extension is for a six month period only and does not considerably extend the scope of the 2014 Contract which was for an overall term of 12 years.
•	The proposed extension is on the basis of existing contract pricing and payment mechanisms and does not change the economic balance of the 2014 Contract in favour of the Contractor in a manner not provided for in the 2014 Contract.
•	There is to be no replacement of the contractor to whom the Council had initially awarded the 2014 Contract.
Further, the Council considers that it may also rely on Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR for the six-month extension.
