description: UK SBS RE140199HEFCE Lessons learned from transition: HEFCE’s role and responsibilities in the specific course designation assessment process for alternative providers Alternative providers of higher education who wish their students to be able to access student loans and maintenance grants need to have their courses specifically designated for student support purposes. For new courses in 2013-14 and all providers from 2014-15, BIS introduced new more robust designation criteria for quality, course eligibility, and financial sustainability, management and governance (FSMG). BIS asked HEFCE to administer the process on its behalf and to provide advice to the Secretary of State (who holds the powers of decision on these matters) regarding quality assurance, course eligibility and FSMG of alternative providers’ seeking specific course designation. The nature and process of these assessments have changed over time and HEFCE’s role in the current process has evolved significantly since it began in June 2011. Transition to the new system has taken place over 2013-14 – this required all providers who wish new students to access student support (whether on previously designated or new courses) to apply under the new criteria and process that BIS introduced in June 2013 with effect from the 2013-14 (for new courses) and 2014-15 academic year (for existing courses).

title: Programme Directorate for the Effective Education Systems Research Programme.

description: The Department for International Development (DFID) is inviting bids for the Programme Directorate for a new 8 year research programme on Effective Education Systems. The aim of the research is to understand how to improve learning for all at scale in developing countries. Too many children are in school but not learning enough across the developing world. International evidence suggests that more resources are not what drives better learning. Emerging evidence suggests that institutional factors, such as effective use of assessment systems and teacher effectiveness are critical elements of successful education systems. Understanding these institutional dimensions and the dynamics of change in education systems could be key to unlocking future learning gains at scale.To aid global understanding, DFID is commissioning a large-scale, multi-year research programme to build the evidence around effective education systems in developing countries. The research is expected to take place in up to 5 focus countries, allowing an intensive research effort to understand change at scale.The first phase of the procurement is now closed and DFID will shortly contract a Research Director and Intellectual Leadership Group to set the intellectual direction of this major programme. In this, the second phase of procurement, DFID is inviting bids for a Programme Directorate to manage and deliver the research agenda. This will include overall people and financial management of the programme and procurement of country focused research teams to conduct high quality empirical research on education systems and at-scale reform. Some of the responsibilities of the Programme Directorate include: convening and communication to build consensus on the agenda for the programme; synthesis of the research tools and best practice to enable cross-country comparisons; procuring and managing the country research teams; and supporting academics to place publications in high impact peer review journals. The procurement for this process will be done in parallel to the development of the research agenda, questions and methods by the Research Director and the Intellectual Leadership Group. Additionally, the Directorate will work with the Research Director to produce evidence syntheses and other evidence products to support programme objectives, providing quality assurance to deliver high quality outputs. The Directorate will be responsible for collaborating with the Research Director to develop and agree annual workplans which flow from the research agenda, monitor implementation, manage budgets and ensure key policies are in place and are being followed. Finally, the Programme Directorate will manage the secretariat for the Steering Committee which will have executive oversight of the programme. Whilst DFID will initially issue the contract to the Research Director and Intellectual Leadership, this contract will be novated over to the Programme Directorate once appointed. The Programme Directorate will need to be able to engage on an intellectual level with the research agenda, and be able to work cooperatively with the Research Director and the Intellectual Leadership Group to support the implementation of the vision of the programme.

title: Transforming End of Life Care.

description: A two-stage, ten-year contract to manage the transformation of the provision of end of life care in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, where ‘end of life' care covers services for people ‘approaching the end of life' who are likely to die within the next 12 months. This includes people whose death is imminent, those with advanced, progressive, incurable conditions, those who are frail and subject to co-existing conditions, people with existing conditions who are at risk of dying from a sudden acute crisis in their condition, and those with life-threatening acute conditions caused by sudden catastrophic events.Stage 1 of the contract will be fee based, for up to two years, and requires a prime provider/service integrator to manage the contracts for all the services along existing community care, long term condition (LTC) and acute care pathways as they relate to end of life, both for adults and for children as they transition to adult services. Stage 1 will entail: improving data quality and collection to establish the detailed real time information needed to proactively manage workstreams, predict demand, and understand patient and payment flows; achieving a limited set of service outcomes focused on improving the patient's experience of the service and ensuring equality of access and treatment, including better identification of need; identifying gaps in service provision. Achievement of Stage 1 will trigger the commencement of Stage 2.In Stage 2 the provider will assume responsibility for managing the provision of end of life care, in expectation of streamlining the service model and eliminating gaps in provision. Performance will be against ambitious clinical and service outcomes, and may include payment based on a risk/gain share arrangement. The required services model will enable identification of all those requiring end of life care, move provision ‘downstream' closer to service users, and allow them and their families seamless access to the right services at the right time.

Core services include Procurement, Finance, Grants Admissions, Human Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery and Contact Centre teams.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.

description: Flight Data Recorder Hardware and Software Support Services Contract. A significant part of an aircraft accident investigation involves the recovery and analysis of information contained in the aircraft flight recorders, (the "black" boxes). The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is committed to a programme of continuous improvement in order to meet its statutory obligations. The concept of the need to maintain adequate flight recorder replay and analysis facilities has been recognised and is part of the AAIB Business Plan. The programme, which began in 1987, is necessary to meet advances in flight recorder technology caused, in the main, by the requirement to record ever more information on the behaviour and performance of modern public transport aircraft so that the causes and circumstances of an accident or serious incident may be determined quickly and cost effectively. Whilst a large part of the development is undertaken by specialist AAIB inspectors some tasks, in particular the provision of software and hardware expertise is contracted out with the AAIB inspectors working alongside specialist independent suppliers. Flight recorder replay and analysis is carried out using computers utilising the Intel family of processors; specifically 32 bit or 64 bit PCs running the Windows XP or Win 7 operating systems. The AAIB has a continuing programme to upgrade its flight recorder replay and analysis facilities and this also includes changes to cater for the ever-developing hardware and software PC platforms.

title: Programme Delivery Partner.

description: The Highways sector within England is undergoing one of the most significant periods of change in its history. The Highways Agency is currently waiting for legislation to go through Parliament to change status from a Government Agency to a Government owned company. In parallel with this, and in recognition of the crucial role the highways infrastructure plays in the economic well-being of the nation, a threefold increase in investment in UK highway investment was announced in 2013. However these changes are accompanied by the demand to significantly reduce the cost and delivery time-scales of highways project and in order to address these challenges the Highways Agency are making radical changes in the way it goes about defining, planning and delivering its highways investments.As part of this change programme, and in order to manage this step change in investment efficiently, the Highways agency wishes to transition from a project management to a programme management delivery model. The Highways Agency need to enhance its capacity to manage this increase in workload and additionally need to enhance their capability in several aspects of programme management. Hence there is a need to bring in expertise from outside of the organisation in the near to medium term to support us to make this transition and manage the rapid uplift in workload.The Highways Agency seeks to procure an experienced programme management organisation or consortium (the Programme Delivery Partner) to provide experienced personnel to support this transition over a period of up to 4 years.The immediate requirement will be for the Programme Delivery Partner to second individuals into three existing programmes of work (valued at circa 7 000 000 000 GBP) to fulfil specific roles where skills shortfalls have been identified.In the longer term, and as an integral part of this role, the Programme Delivery Partner will also be required to transfer knowledge to the Highways Agency staff through on the job training, mentoring and formal training. The objective will be that the Programme Delivery Partner will exit at the end of circa 4 years leaving the Highways Agency as a mature programme management organisation.The Programme Delivery Partner will also be required to provide support to other programmes of work which may be developed by the Highways Agency over the period of their engagement.The Highways Agency are seeking a highly collaborative relationship with the successful supplier and its wider supply chain and it is envisaged that a ‘seamless team’ approach will be adopted with the Programme Delivery Partner staff embedded as an integral part of the programme teams.Since the current programmes are still developing their delivery strategies it is not possible to precisely define the exact requirements and number of positions to be filled but circa 50 Programme Delivery Partner staff are currently envisaged.Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably experienced and qualified organisations or consortia.Required Capabilities and Services.The Programme Delivery Partner is required to deliver services in the following key areas:1. Resource secondment to programme delivery teams. Secondees will also be required to undertake mentoring, tutoring and on the job development and implementation of systems and processes.2. Specific personal development and training courses on key competencies.3. Support to implement culture and organisational change.The intention will be to procure these services via task orders as required.Areas of Service: A description of each Service Area is given below:Area 1 — Resource Secondment, mentoring and on the job training.The Highways Agency are seeking a highly collaborative relationship with the Programme Delivery Partner and individuals will be deployed within Programme Delivery Teams on a seamless team basis.The Programme Delivery Partner will deploy staff into the Highways Agency programmes to supplement identified shortfalls in competence as part of an integrated team. These individuals will be will be instrumental in developing programme strategy, programme definition, work packaging and such other matters. As part of the role they will mentor and coach the Highways Agency staff working with them.It is also likely that other members of the overall programme team will be drawn from other frameworks in particular the Collaborative Delivery Framework and the Programme Delivery Partner team members will also be responsible for integrating these individuals into the team and providing management direction. For example the Programme team will be responsible for developing and defining the scope for the programme including option studies and such matters. The technical aspects of this work will be undertaken by the engineering consultancy partners within the Collaborative Delivery Framework but management and direction of the process will be led by the programme delivery team.The exact deployment of Programme Delivery Partner staff will be determined on a programme by programme basis to suit specific skills shortfalls. The organisation structure of individual Highways Agency programmes will vary in detail to suit the specific attributes of that programme and certain programmes may require competences to a greater or lesser degree. However the generic competences required should not vary significantly between programmes and, for the purposes of this procurement, and are typically likely to include the following:— Programme Direction — Leadership, Direction, Strategy Governance and Control;— Programme Controls — Planning, Reporting, Change Control, Risk Management and Document Management;— HSQE — Health and Safety, Sustainability, Environmental Control, Quality Control, Audit, Compliance Programme;— Programme Delivery — Logistics, Co-ordination, Supply Chain Management, Buildability, Value Engineering;— Definition and Development — Scope definition, Option Studies, Requirements Management, Benefits Management Assurance;— Financial Management — Finance, procurement, estimating, cost management accounting;— Stakeholder Management — Approvals, Consultation and Communication, Legal Powers , Acquisition;— Operations — End User requirements, Asset Management Strategy, Road Technology, Cost in Use.Area 2 — Development and implementation of common systems and processes.It is envisaged that a small specialist team will be deployed by the Programme Delivery Partner to work alongside Highways Agency colleagues to develop common processes and systems appropriate for managing programmes of the scale envisaged. It is the intention that this work will build upon the existing project management tools current used within the Highways Agency and will comply with all Highways Agency standing orders and governance protocols.It is envisaged that, in order to ensure these systems and processes are in place as soon as possible, the Programme Delivery Partner will draw on systems used successfully on other programmes but tailor these to meet the requirements of Highways Agency and other governance requirements.Systems to be developed may include:— An ‘enterprise wide’ programme management system;— An integrated Programme Controls suite to include scheduling tools, EVA and progress measurement systems, risk management system, cost management and reporting, document control, requirements management and change control;— Stakeholder management tools and processes including Government Secure Intranet systems, web based communications tools and the like;— Collaborations and design management tools such as BIM;— Financial management tools, processes and systems including estimating packages, valuation and accounting systems;— Programme development tools, processes and systems including requirements management , option analysis, value management, value engineering and benefits management;— Delivery management tools and processes including supply chain logistics management.Each of these systems would have an owner within the Highways Agency and the tools will be rolled out and embedded across the portfolio via a series of training sessions and pilots.Area 3 — Personal Development and Training.The Programme Delivery Partner will be required to develop and deliver a comprehensive suite of training material on the core competencies of programme management tailored to the specific context of the Highways Agency.It is envisage that this will consist of a series of training modules which will incorporate topic areas. For example the programmes controls module will contain training on planning, earned value management, risk management, change control, etc. It is envisaged that there will be 2 primary levels to each training module — general awareness of principles required by all programme team members and expert level e.g. programming using specific IT applications for specialists.Training will be delivered in formal classroom settings but modules will also be available as YouTube (or equivalent) style videos and webinars.The overall suite of training modules must be able to be configured to meet the specific development needs of individuals such that personalised training plans are available.The objective will be that the combinations of structured training and on the job mentoring and experience will enable participants to gain a formal qualification in programme management which will be seen as valuable to the individual.Area 4 — Culture and Organisational Change.The move to a Publicly Owned Company status and the different ways of working required to operate as programme managers both demand a significant change in culture within the Highways Agency. This change in culture is an important enabler in engendering support and a smooth transition to a programme management delivery approach and must be integrated with the overall Transformation programme being run within the Highways Agency.Therefore the Programme Delivery Partner will be required to run a culture and organisation change programme as part of this commission. This programme will use tried and tested techniques for managing organisation and culture change and developing high performing teams. This work will be aligned with the wider Highways Agency transformation and ‘Future Engage Deliver’ work already taking place.If the Tenderer does not have this specialised skills capability to deliver this Service Area then it is anticipated that subcontracting arrangements will be required with a specialised consultancy firm with a strong track record of success in this arena.4. Structure of tender.The PDP role is to be let under the Terms of the NEC3 Professional Services Contract (Option G) as adopted/modified by the Highways Agency incorporating the following Service Areas:— Resource augmentation to programme delivery teams and mentoring ,tutoring and on the job training;— Development and implementation of systems and processes;— Specific training courses on key competencies;— Culture and organisational change management.The Contract will be advertised via the OJEU (Restricted Procedure) and suppliers will be short-listed following pre-qualification.It is essential however that the 4 Service Areas are delivered as an integrated whole.Services under a Task Orders may be paid for as;— Lump Sum — on satisfactory completion of an activity;— Target Cost; or— Time charge.The Agency will select the appropriate payment approach for the specific Task Order.5. Pre-qualification.It is the intention to pre-qualify suppliers by means of a number of suitability and selection criteria.Suitability criteria will be mandatory and assessed on a pass/fail basis. Only those companies who comply with all suitability criteria will be considered further.Suitable companies will be selected upon the basis of their response to the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and case studies provided which will be scored according to the criteria below:Quality of response Score.Response demonstrates detailed, strong and highly relevant experience and capability 5.Response demonstrates reasonable and relevant experience and capability 3.Response demonstrates some experience and capability 1.Response demonstrates no experience or capability 0.Those companies with the highest overall score will be short-listed for invitation to tender for this service.

It is the intention to short-list a minimum of 5 companies to submit a tender for this commission.Bidders will be short-listed based upon their response to the questions in the forms provided with the Pre-Qualification Pack which should address these core requirements in the response:Note that where there is more than 1 section to each topic area each part will be scored out of 5 and the average of all parts taken to arrive at an overall mark for that topic area.Following Pre-Qualification suppliers will be short-listed and a minimum of 5 bidders will be selected to submit their Tenders. These will be assessed on a quality/price evaluation basis and the most economically advantageous tender will be accepted. Full details of the Tender process and evaluation criteria will be given in the Instructions for Tendering although it is intended that Behavioural Assessments will form part of the evaluation criteria.Additional Information:The Programme Delivery Partner is required to agree that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 will not apply to the secondment of staff to the Highways Agency or on the termination of the services provided to the Highways Agency.

    Pre-birth and the early years are a critical period for physical, emotional, social and cognitive development with lifelong effects on health and wellbeing.

    There is growing evidence and recognition that a babys social, emotional and cognitive development is affected by the quality of their attachment to their parents and that a range of interacting factors, such as parental wellbeing and parent child relationships, impact on the childs resilience, ability to regulate their emotions and long term risk of mental illness.
    Supporting mothers emotional wellbeing during the perinatal period is now recognised to be as important as the traditional focus on the physical health of the mother and child.
    The training provider will work closely with the Locality Parent and Infant Wellbeing Coordinators (commissioned separately) to recruit peer supporters and volunteers onto the training programme.
    The training programme will also be open to other staff working in voluntary and community organisations, childrens centres and other early years services in similar or related roles in order to promote a consistent approach and increase capacity across the Borough.
    While the primary focus of the training programme will be on promoting maternal mental health, supporting secure emotional attachment, parent /infant communication, sensitive attuned parenting and peer support the training will also address other key influences on parent and infant health such as nutrition, oral health and injury prevention to ensure a holistic approach.
    The maximum funding available for this contract is 40,000/year for 2 years with a one-off 15,000 for start-up costs.
    Anticipated outcomes of the whole programme:

    Parents who are confident in their parenting attachment, bonding, communication and care of their children and/or able to access the relevant support required to assist in those areas if required
    Well supported families that are informed of other relevant services in the Borough
    Babies who are confident, emotionally secure and resilient with good foundations for lifelong health and wellbeing
    Reduced incidence of unidentified postnatal depression and/or puerperal psychosis and increased early identification, intervention and management of the risk factors.
