title: CARE CLOSER TO HOME FOR NORTH EAST ESSEX CCG

description: North East Essex CCG is responsible for commissioning the majority of health services for the people who live in the areas covered by Colchester Borough Council and Tendring District Council. This includes acute care, community care, mental health, and learning disability services. The CCG, together with Essex County Council, have a shared vision for the health and wellbeing of people in North East Essex “Embracing better health and wellbeing for all”. Even though the CCG will focus on priority and high risk groups within North East Essex, it is intended that everybody should be able to expect an improved level of health and wellbeing from the services we commission. This vision will be delivered by “Empowering people to stay fit and healthy, providing safe, responsive compassionate care when they need it” This CCG’s vision is underpinned by the following outcomes: • Putting people at the centre of their care • Involving people in planning and developing services • Ensuring that services are centred around the patient, are high quality, evidence-based, cost-effective, and sustainable • Ensuring people receive seamless services across their health and care needs • Ensuring carers receive the support they need Against this backdrop the CCG, in conjunction with its partner Essex County Council, is seeking to transform the way in which community based health and social care services are delivered across North East Essex over the next seven to ten years. This will lead to services which are more integrated, person centred, and are supported by appropriate care planning based on individual needs. Services will focus more on helping people to achieve the outcomes that are most important for them. This will help to ensure that they stay independent for as long as possible, enabling them to manage long term conditions and supporting them to recover quickly and regain independence following accidents or episodes of ill health. Care Closer to Home will form a key part of this strategy, and will support the CCG to deliver its long term vision “Empowering people to stay fit and healthy, and providing safe, responsive compassionate care when they need it” In order to achieve the required step change in the way in which services are delivered, the CCG is seeking to procure a single ‘Lead Provider’ who will be accountable for the provision of all services within the scope of Care Closer to Home. This could either be achieved via a Prime Contractor or Integrator model, and the CCG is open to bids of both forms. In the case of a Prime Contractor, the Lead Provider would be expected to deliver a significant amount of the services directly, and sub-contract some element to others. In the case of an Integrator, the Lead Provider would manage the contract and associated back office functions, but subcontract the delivery of clinical services to other providers. In either instance, the CCG is explicit that the Lead Provider will remain accountable for the provision of all services within the bundle, including both direct provision of services and provision by partners and or sub-contractors. The CCG does not however envisage that a single organisation would be able to deliver all services within the scope of Care Closer to Home by itself, and expects bidders to demonstrate they have sufficient supply chains and partnership arrangements in place to deliver an integrated end to end service. In order to encourage innovation and transformational ways of working, bidders will be asked throughout the procurement process to demonstrate how they will deliver services in a way which meets the CCG’s desired outcomes for Care Closer to Home, rather than be provided with detailed service specifications. These outcomes are summarised below and set out in further detail in the attached Outcomes Framework: 1. People with long-term conditions, and their carers, are supported to be independent in their own homes and avoid hospital admissions; through effective, personalised and integrated community based services. This means that people can be confident that: “I know that my health needs won’t mean I can’t stay living in my own home for as long as I am able to.” “I am confident that the support I need to be independent is there.” 2. People make a good recovery from episodes of ill health or following injury. This means that people can be confident that: “I will recover quickly from my illness and can get back to doing all the things I enjoy.” 3. People are enabled to live healthy lifestyles and are empowered to live independently and to take control of their health and social care needs during periods of ill health. This means that people can be confident that: “I know how to look after my health, and where to seek help locally if I need it.” The same outcomes framework will subsequently be used to incentivise the successful bidder to improve the outcomes of individual service users. Bidders will also be also be required to demonstrate how they will work within the CCG’s Core Working Principles, which set out its minimum expectations around the provider’s approach to service user care; empowerment; and ways of working within the wider health and social care system Scope of Services The scope of Care Closer to Home encompasses a range of health and social care services which enable residents of NEE to receive treatment, care, and support in their community closer to their homes rather than in an acute setting where ever it is possible. Whilst its focus is on the older population, many of whom have multiple long term conditions, it will also provide services to those who have emerging needs in these areas. This may include Children and Young Adults in certain specialities. Who will access the service? Care Closer to Home will support people registered with NE Essex GPs who have care needs requiring support over and above that offered by primary care, but not needing emergency or complex acute care. The CCG has commissioned a risk stratification tool that allows pro-active identification of individuals at risk of hospitalisation within the next two years . It is expected that this approach will be used to pro-actively identify people who would benefit from integrated care assessments and care planning. Bidder Pool Attain wishes to receive responses to the PQQ from suitably qualified and experienced providers with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability within the requisite timescale, which is notified to Potential Bidders in the PQQ) to provide the range of services as set out in section 2.5 of the PQQ, in a safe and effective manner and to meet the requirements of paragraph 2.7 below. Subject to any conditions specified in the Contract or any tender documents issued in connection with the Procurement, Potential Bidders may bid in partnership with other organisations. Critical Success Factors (CSFs) The Commissioner requires the Provider to meet the following CSFs throughout the life of the Contract (further detail will be provided during the ITT phase): • An alignment to the CCG’s strategic commissioning objectives • Keeping patients well and preventing them from needing interventions in formal care settings • Simplifying the care system for service users, cares and staff , and improving the experience by delivering seamless and integrated care • Ensuring that all services users have a care or support plan in place • Integrating Care Closer to Home services within the wider health and social care system • Shifting planned care from acute hospitals to community settings where it is safe to do so, thus ensuring that people are treated in the right place, at the right time, and also reducing costly activity unnecessarily taking place in the acute sector • Reducing unplanned hospital admissions/re-admissions and A&E Attendances • Delivering social value across North East Essex, and therefore ensuring that scarce resources are allocated and used is a way which is most beneficial to the local community. This will include ensuing that local and voluntary sector organisations play a key role in delivering services in the future and the power of volunteers is harnessed. • Ensuring a smooth and well planned transition; service users will have concerns about care continuity that must be central to this process. The CCG and the successful bidder must work together effectively to identify and minimise risks associated with service transition and mobilisation. Care Closer to Home and the Better Care Fund

title: Restricted list Application — Principal Contractors for Brandywell Stadium Redevelopment.

description: The Brandywell stadium is located in Derry/ Londonderry and is situated on the Lone moor Road, to the south-west of the city centre. It is bounded to the North East and North West by public roads, to the South East by residential properties and to the South West by a training pitch (known as the Showgrounds) and car parking. The ground to the northwest of the stadium slopes steeply towards the sites northwestern boundary with a fall across the site itself of approximately 7 m. An approximately level platform has been created for the pitch and track, resulting in a steep bank within the site along the North West and North East boundaries. The site is located approximately 300 m from the River Foyle. The area surrounding the site is mainly residential. The Brandywell is the home ground of Derry City FC. The stadium consists of a covered seated stand along the east side of the pitch (known as the South End Stand) and an elevated seated stand to the west side of the pitch (known as the Glentoran Stand). Open seating and a standing terrace are also provided on the west side of the pitch. Additionally there is club accommodation and parking space for cars and coaches along the north western site boundary, adjacent to the training pitch. The legal owner of the stadium is Derry City Council, which under licence, permits Derry City FC to make use of the grounds for matches and the running of its various other club affairs. Although the existing ground has seating for 3 157 and terracing for 1 528, the current total capacity is reduced to 3 502 for domestic and friendly matches due to health and safety restrictions imposed on the ground and further reduced to 2 251 for UEFA football competitions where the use of terracing is not permitted. The stadium is equipped with a floodlit, ovoid greyhound racing track encircling the football pitch which has been in existence since the 1940s and the Brandywell Greyhound Racing Company is the current tenant of this facility. The Brandywell Stadium Redevelopment Works being commissioned by Derry City Council will address the Health and Safety and capacity issues highlighted above. The replacement of the existing grass pitch to an artificial surface will ensure that the pitch can be now used for both community and DCFC use. The site restrictions imposed on the development of the football stadium by the dog track are overcome by the relocation of the track and its associated facilities to the adjacent Showgrounds site. Derry City Council aim to support the concept of sustainability in the design and operation of the development. It is also proposed that the development be fully accessible for the disabled. Applications are invited from suitably qualified and competent principal contractors who wish to be included on a select list for the Brandywell Stadium Redevelopment.

description: 1.7 We are therefore seeking proposals for work looking at the potential role of heritage in local strategic planning and development. This will be new applied research to follow on directly from the first phase of RSA/HLF work and the recently published report of the City Growth Commission. We envisage the work could involve up to three strands: - i. A strand that tests and refines the ideas that emerged in phase one of the HLF/RSA collaboration, concentrating on a small number of city regions. Building on the findings from the earlier work this research will make a deeper assessment of heritage assets and organisations and look to connect that to key strategic debates and decisions facing the chosen places. Part of this strand should involve a review of the extent to which heritage appears within existing strategic documents within the selected places. ii. Desk based research that explores the existing and potential ways of thinking about place, identity and heritage in a broader set of national and international places. iii. Action research to identify what kind of capacity is needed at the local level to make the case for the strategic role of heritage in place shaping. This strand will follow on from, and be contingent on the findings from, strands (i) and (ii).

title: River Medway Inland Waterways Dredger Barge and Tug Boat.

description: As part of its role, the Environment Agency is the navigation authority for the inland navigation on the River Medway in Kent. The navigation starts in Tonbridge and ends at Allington Lock near Maidstone, where the river becomes tidal. The navigation is 31 km long and has 10 locks and associated weirs and sluices. Each year, winter floods on the Medway move thousands of tonnes of silt and river ballast. As well as fallen trees, this material blocks navigation channels and locks and prevents boats on the river from being able to navigate. Under the Upper Medway Navigation and Conservancy Act 1911, the Environment Agency has a statutory duty to ensure the river remains navigable and that the channels are dredged to published depths. The published depths can be found on the Environment Agency's 2014/15 Customer Charter for the River Medway here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/river-medway-customer-charter The Environment Agency currently outsources its dredging requirements each year. The contractor is mobilised in March and usually finishes work in June. This operation is costly, and leaves the Agency with no options to deal with fallen trees or new shoals outside this period. The decision has therefore been taken to bring dredging back in-house and in doing so procure a new Inland Waterways Dredger Barge and Tug Boat to meet the operational requirements.

title: UK SBS RE140197 - Target Carousel

description: On behalf of the Science & Technology Facilities Council, this procurement is for a target carousel as per attached specification. About UK Shared Business Services Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. 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 SBS is a people rather than task focused business. It’s what makes us different to the traditional transactional shared services centre. What is more, being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its customers, UK SBS’ goals are aligned with the public sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer. 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.

title: Multiple Opportunity: Short Research Projects on Better Regulation

description: Our customer is seeking to commission a maximum of four projects (with a maximum value of £15,000 each) from the list of themes provided above. Projects that involve collaboration with other recognised experts in the field are particularly encouraged. In order to enhance the evidence base and help shape future policy development, the BRE and the RPC Secretariat are seeking to commission a maximum of four short academic projects on a range of topics. More information on these topics is set out below along with a summary of any existing literature and data we are aware of. We do not wish to be overly prescriptive of any research undertaken within these themes. Instead we are inviting proposals for interesting policy relevant projects relating to one or more of the themes. Bidders may wish to develop proposals based on some of the specific ideas presented, or suggest alternative projects relevant to the themes. Additionally, it is permissible for proposals to span multiple themes; they are not mutually exclusive. Throughout this specification, our definition of `regulation’ does not include tax regulations. Regulations concerning tax do not fall into the remit of BRC and RPC; they are dealt with independently by the HMRC. Any bids that broach the topic of tax regulations will not be considered. We expect the projects to draw on a mixture of academic theory, empirical evidence (including evaluation and case studies) and comparisons with international or historical experiences. We expect this range of evidence to be used to assess the issue (as identified in the themes below or proposed by the bidder) within the broader policy context. Proposals should set out how bidders intend to do this. We also encourage strongly proposals that involve a significant amount of collaboration between relevant experts in the field. About UK Shared Business Services - Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. 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 SBS is a people rather than task focused business. It’s what makes us different to the traditional transactional shared services centre. What is more, being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its customers, UK SBS’ goals are aligned with the public sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer. 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. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications
