title: Water Trading - Scope, Benefits and Options

description:
The objectives of the work are to:

      • address the extent to which current water trading levels reflect underlying economic fundamentals versus identifiable barriers and the potential scope for water trading in the medium and longer term;

      • identify potential lessons from the experiences of water trading in overseas water markets and assess how these could be applied to England and Wales;

      • assess the existing and potential barriers to water trading and identify their relative importance – this should include considering whether concentrating water trading on raw water rather than extending to treated water acts as a barrier to trade;

      • related to the above, identify and evaluate the options for mitigating or removing barriers, including assessing how to remove barriers to trading treated water;develop options for the use of incentives and institutional arrangements to enable / encourage water trading and to assess the merits of these different approaches;

      • reflecting the above, provide a quantification of the costs and benefits of increased water trading, drawing primarily on existing sources (note, we are not expecting substantive primary research or analysis to inform this.  Rather, we expect the consultant to make use of existing evidence and, where appropriate, make adjustments to reflect latest data and their emerging findings arising from this study); and

      • finally, drawing the above together, provide recommendations as to the implications for the need for price and service regulation of the affected parts of the value chain to ensure that customers are protected.

title: Framework of Land Advisers/Brokers.

documentType: tenderNotice

description: Barnsley Council has procured a Framework of Land Advisers/Brokers to assist in generating capital and maximising the value of land for the benefit of the public and charitable sector and/or developing surplus land assets with the aim of delivering social infrastructure or other public policy objectives. The Framework comprises 2 lots:Lot 1 — Land Brokers who will normally provide the Client with support and advice at financial risk during the project development phases (from RIBA Stages 1 up to 4), with payment for services being realised and paid through the proceeds of the proposed land sale.Lot 2 — Land Advisers to provide advice to the Client on the development of surplus assets including: appraisal of development opportunities to determine commercial viability and deliverability; strategic options analyses; planning assessments; due diligence and surveys; and general advice and support throughout the project life-cycle. The Land Advisers are not required to work at financial risk.The Broker Framework is available for use by or on behalf of public and charitable sector organisations who will identify land assets for broker services with the aim of generating capital and maximising the value of land for the benefit of the public and charitable sector and/or developing these assets for social infrastructure or other public policy objectives. The Framework across both Lots will be used to deliver support and advice to Clients during project development phases (from RIBA Stages 1 up to 4) and may also be used to provide services during and post the construction phase including acting as the Client's agent and ensuring that the project is built out in accordance with the agreed specification, programme and outcomes.Land Brokers under Lot 1 will deliver these services throughout the project life-cycle, normally taking full financial risk on the project after an exclusivity arrangement has been entered into with the Client. Land Advisers under Lot 2 will deliver services by way of lump sum fees or time charge commissions and will not take any financial risk. It is anticipated that Lot 1 call-offs will involve a longer term partnership between the Client and the Land Broker, whereas Lot 2 call-offs will be shorter term engagements to provide specific pieces of advice during the project life-cycle, with a focus on the early stage viability assessments.Land Brokers and Advisers will be required to make an initial assessment of opportunity arising from the public asset. This assessment would involve looking at options for assembly and development, most likely to RIBA 1 but with surveys, planning advice and soft market testing to determine commercial viability and deliverability both within the context of local and national policy expectations and also the constraints that would be imposed by the prevailing development, finance and construction markets. Further to initial viability assessments, Land Brokers and Advisers will then carry out detailed project scoping, concept design and due diligence, detailed design and planning preparation, planning and contracts up to start on-site. Land Brokers and Advisers may also be retained by the Client to provide services during and post the construction phase including acting as the Client's agent and ensuring that the project is built out in accordance with the agreed specification, programme and outcomes.Legal services are not included in the scope of service for either Lot under this Framework. It is anticipated that the Client would appoint a legal team, with the Land Broker or Adviser broker acting as negotiator.The framework is open to the following public and charitable sector organisations, specific details can be found on the respective URL: Local Authority Councils: County, Unitary, District, Borough and Metropolitan Councils http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/Localcouncils/index.htm (Parish and Community Councils are also permissible users).

description: In December 2013 AHVLA announced a major reorganisation to its Scanning Surveillance operations including the closure of some regional laboratories which will demand new ways of working and a revised approach to the capture of disease surveillance information. IT system enhancements have been highlighted as an enabler to the successful delivery of the change programme, both in the short and medium term. An initial GDS “Discovery” stage provided a high level view of systems requirements and priorities driven by user and stakeholder consultation. The changes not only anticipate a reduction in operating costs, but also an improvement in surveillance data quality and coverage. In summary, the new arrangements should provide better surveillance information as well as reducing costs.

The system is in regular use, it serves the immunology capability and needs of the research department on site at Porton.  The system is over 10 years old and demand for its use has increased over the last two years with little end to this requirement in sight.  Taking the age of the system into account, any down-time for servicing or repair has an impact on our work and it makes sense to upgrade to reduce the risk in the event of failure. This system generally has a life cycle of 5-6 years, so we are at the point where the system will begin to fail more frequently. In addition The current system is an analogue system due to its outdated analogue electronics, it is no longer supported by service contracts (lack of availability of parts).  Income to support this facility comes from a wide variety of sources i.e. international and UK commercial, acedemic partners and GIA.

title: The Infrastructure Alliance

description:
Thames Water considers that the variations do not affect the nature or scope of the original Alliance agreement and contracts.
                  Variation to an existing Alliance Agreement dated 29.1.2015, relating to the Infrastructure Alliance and the variation to the 2 related Alliance Contracts entered into on that same date with each of the Alliance Members. The original agreement and contracts were entered into under a contract notice reference 2014/S 122-218174. The Alliance has been running for 3 years of AMP6 and the variation follows a review of how the Alliance operates in line with the key Alliance principle to seek continuous improvement in the way it operates. The following variations to close out year 3, and for years 4 and 5 of AMP6, are being implemented:
                  1. clarification on how the Head of Networks works for the Alliance Board;
                  2. using a schedule of rates for payment in Developer Services to better fit with Thames Water’s published new charging arrangements for Developer Services; but these rates are still based on actual cost and the same management fees include in the original contact and the rates are reviewed each year against actual cost and management fee. New service levels have been set to meet developers' expectations on service delivery;
                  3. revision of budget levels for clean water networks following a review of the Costed Needs from the business plan; changes to the Costed Needs being envisaged in the original Alliance Agreement;
                  4. revision of programme-level pain / gain mechanism linked to Thames Water’s performance across Outcome Delivery Incentives (ODIs) and Service Incentive Mechanism (SIM) to more closely reflect those individual measures the Alliance Members can directly influence; and to incentivise timely performance of leakage jobs service levels have been included;
                  5. updating of the contracts for changes in law including CDM Regulations, GDPR, Modern Slavery Act and Part 3 of Criminal Finances Act.

title: FA1230 The Infrastructure Alliance.

description: Thames Water Utilities Limited (TWUL) is looking to procure a small number of multi-disciplinary alliance members to deliver the AMP6 business plan outcomes relevant to Network and Developer Services, as part of a client-embedded alliance operating across the full TWUL business region. There will be the option to extend the arrangements to the AMP7 and AMP8 business plans respectively; alliance members may also be required to deliver elements of the AMP5 business plan outcomes.The scope of services for the Infrastructure Alliance incorporates a holistic approach. It is currently envisaged that the scope of the Infrastructure Alliance may include but not be limited to activities associated with:A. Clean Water Network - water network repair, rehabilitation and maintenance, leak detection, hydrant repair, district metering activities, customer side leakage, network optimisation, pressure logging, diversions, new mains and the like;B. Developer Services - wastewater and water connections, consents, diversions, new sewers/mains, requisitions and the like;C. Design, CDM competence, enabling and optimisation support activities, event management, both field and office based and the like;D. Customer and stakeholder contact service and management and the like;E. Planning, logistics, scheduling and programme management and the like.TWUL currently envisages that as the Infrastructure Alliance matures it may also become the most appropriate vehicle to deliver the following:F. Metering services which may include installation, repair, reading, associated activities and the like;G. Waste Network Services which may include repair and maintenance, blockage clearance, associated activities and the like.Capabilities that applicants should be able to demonstrate will include but not be limited to all the above areas, either directly or through a managed supply chain.However, given that TWUL does not envisage having an immediate requirement to deliver waste network services and metering services at this time though the Infrastructure Alliance, it is currently anticipated that suppliers only offering waste network services and/or metering will not form part of any consortium becoming a member of the Infrastructure Alliance. Applicants can if they wish use such a supplier as part of its supply chain to provide these services as part of the potential extension of scope and for that purpose they will be evaluated during the procurement. If waste network services and/or metering subsequently become part of the scope of the Infrastructure Alliance, subject to the operation of the Utilities Contracts Regulations (SI 2006 No 6), it may be appropriate for such a supplier to be recognised as a consortium entity via the change control mechanism within the contract. It may also be appropriate for an Infrastructure Alliance member that is an individual entity to form a consortium together with a waste network services and/or metering supplier in such circumstances.TWUL currently envisages that the total value (including all TWUL costs) of the scope of services for items A to E above will be approximately 600 000 000 GBP to 900 000 000 GBP over AMP6. It should be recognised that a proportion of this scope is market-driven (e.g. Developer Services) and therefore may fluctuate.Due to anticipated changes in customer or regulatory landscape the Infrastructure Alliance may be required to operate outside of the current TWUL operating area.TWUL currently envisages that the Infrastructure Alliance will not be exclusive in nature and services within the scope of the Infrastructure Alliance may, in certain circumstances, be carried out by other suppliers.

name: BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital Northampton

title: The provision of elective surgery and diagnostic endoscopy procedures.

description: Following a careful analysis of the options available to it, Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust (NGH) have selected BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital to provide routine elective surgery and routine diagnostic endoscopy procedures. The Trust has considered the healthcare provider market, and carried out as much market analysis as feasible in the short decision-making period. In light of this analysis, the Trust has decided that selecting BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital would be in the best interests of its patients, primarily because:— Proximity to the main site-patients are only attending one diagnostic test in their pathway at an external site, all other appointments and treatment will be at NGH.— Minimisation of disruption to patients-as above re this being 1 part of their pathway.— Increased likelihood of acceptance of appointments — this is critical for meeting our diagnostic 6 week waiting target and our overall 18 week referral to treatment target-patient more likely to be treated in timely manner.— NGH can use the same consultants the patient will be seeing for the rest of their pathway where possible.The need for additional capacity is immediate and arises from emergency pressures resulting in elective cancellations and requirements under the 18 week wait and 6 week diagnostic wait. The Trust feels that providing a safe and effective service to patients is paramount rather than awaiting the outcome of a formal process.In deciding to contract with BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital, the Trust has had regard to relevant best practice guidance, including the Principles and Rules for Co-operation and Competition (PRCC). Although many of the principles set out in the PRCC are not strictly applicable to the Trust as a provider, the Trust is mindful of the fact that it will be commissioning services from BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital. The PRCC require that commissioners of NHS funded services commission those services from the providers that are best placed to deliver the needs of their patients and populations (Principle 1). Based on the evidence available to it, the Trust considers that BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital is best placed to deliver the routine elective surgery and routine diagnostic endoscopy procedures and is unaware of any other viable, alternative healthcare providers who would be able to deliver the services at such close proximity to NGH, achieve the same benefits to patients and immediately offer the services. The Trust considers that the commercial offer by BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital is very favourable (with respect to the potential benefits to its patients and financial outlay for the Trust) and it is unlikely that this same offer would not be available if the Trust elects to proceed with a competitive tender process. Further, the Trust needs to act quickly to realise the financial benefits of this offer in the 2015/16 financial year (because of its cost improvement plan) which further reduces the suitability of a full tender process. The Trust has decided that, all relevant factors considered, it would be unlikely to secure better value for money for these services by investing in a competitive contract award process.The contract with BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital will be for 1 year period, commencing 1.4.2015 While the Trust considers that taking advantage of BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital deal is the best interests of its patients and offers best value for money for NGH, the Trust is conscious of the fact that it may wish to re-procure the services in the future should changes in the market occur. Accordingly, both the Trust and BMI Healthcare Three Shires Hospital can terminate the agreement at will for any reason by issuing 6 months' notice.The price payable under the contract will be NHS tariff plus Market Forces Factor (MFF)The price payable under the contract will be renegotiated annually by the parties. In order to protect the Trust's financial position, any increase in the price will be restricted to: National payment by results (PBR) tariff changes.

Scope

          This is an Open Call to industry and academia, entitled Threat Detection in Fast Parcels, run by the Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST), on behalf of the Home Office’s Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT).  The call is seeking a proposal which addresses the requirement through a two-phased approach, but only Phase One will be initially funded.

          Call Processes

          The Call is being run in a similar way to Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) calls, consisting of short Phase One projects, followed by a smaller number of more substantial Phase Two projects.  The call is open to all organisations that can demonstrate a route to market for their solution.  Development is 100 per cent funded and particularly suited to small and medium sized business.  Collaborative proposals are encouraged.

          This Call and guidance is focused on Phase One.  Phase One projects are short proof of concept projects.  Successful projects from Phase One will be considered (in a separate procurement process) for Phase Two funding.

          Phase One proof of concept projects should not exceed three months, with a notional value of £0 to £30,000.  Phase Two projects will typically be around a year in duration, but may be up to 2 years long, and will be eligible for significantly higher funding than Phase One projects.  We anticipate that the outputs from Phase One projects will take the form of a feasibility study, experimental results or prototype.  Phase One projects must successfully demonstrate the concept of their proposed technical solution, to be eligible for consideration of further funding.  Phase One proposals must state clearly the goals and outcomes of the Phases Two and the proposed route to market.  Proposals can include references to relevant literature which substantiates any technical claims made.  It is anticipated that funding and procurement for Phase Two project will start from about the summer of 2016.

          We welcome collaborative proposals between two or more organisations, particularly with Fast Parcel operators.

          The proposal must be submitted using the Threat Detection in Fast Parcels application form (Ref.: CST06.20b-HOS/15/051).  All proposals must be submitted to the CONTEST & SOC S&T Programme Office no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday 24th November using the HOSProcurement@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk E-Mail account.  All correspondence about relating to this call must include the Call title and Reference Number (Threat Detection in Fast Parcels – HOS/15/051).  More than one proposal may be submitted by a supplier.

title: 15 030 Family Focus.

description: The European Union timescales are not being adhered to. This tender falls under the light touch regime. Family Focus is the offer from Cheshire East Council in respect of the national Troubled Families programme. The Family Focus tender will work to achieve either significant and sustained progress or to achieve continuous employment with 1 950 families during the life of the programme. In the first year Family Focus aims to engage with approx 332 families.It is anticipated that commissioned service(s) will be delivered within the Locality boundaries that Cheshire East delivers its services to children in. The commission will therefore be considered as follows:— Lot 1 — North Locality — see map at appendix 1 of the service specification.— Lot 2 — South Locality — see map at appendix 1 of the service specification.To be eligible for the expanded programme, each family must have at least 2 of the following 6 problems:1. Parents or children involved in crime or anti-social behaviour.2. Children who have not been attending school regularly.3. Children who need help: children of all ages, who need help, are identified as in need or are subject to a Child Protection Plan.4. Adults out of work or at risk of financial exclusion or young people at risk of worklessness.5. Families affected by domestic violence and abuse.6. Parents or children with a range of health problems.Service delivery to families that meet the eligibility criteria will be across the levels of need and may need to be prioritised according to the number and type of criteria met, in which case a prioritisation matrix will be developed by Cheshire East Council. This matrix will be issued once the contract has been awarded and will refer back to the outcomes plan. Referrals to services under the Family Focus programme will be routed through the Cheshire East Consultation Service (ChECS).In order for successful outcomes to be demonstrated there needs to be a full understanding of the families' situation at the outset. This will be formed through completion of a robust assessment followed by a clear planning and review process.For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority points out that no weight will be attached to whether or not an economic operator is an SME in selecting economic operators to submit tenders or in assessing the most economically advantageous tender.

title: Housing Guarantee Scheme for Affordable Housing

description: The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) is seeking to award licences for the delivery of the UK-wide Housing Guarantees Schemes. There will be two schemes, one covering the Private Rented Sector (PRS) and the other for Affordable Housing. Up to GBP 10 bn will be available to support the Housing Guarantees Schemes. Guarantees, will cover loans for up to 30 years duration.It is intended that the schemes will raise the capital required to fund qualifying projects and then on-lend it to borrowers. In order to reduce the overall interest cost to the borrowers, DCLG will provide a guarantee for the debt, covering full repayment of principal and interest. Provision of the guarantee for each individual loan for both schemes will be subject to DCLG approval, which will take account of the eligibility and purpose of the loan and satisfaction and approval of the risks of the individual borrowing and/or project.

title: Delivery of the Private Rented Sector Housing Guarantee scheme.

description: The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) wishes to receive proposals for the delivery of the UK wide Private Rented Sector (PRS) Housing Guarantees scheme. In September 2012, Government announced the creation of the Housing Guarantees schemes. There are two schemes, one covering the PRS and the other Affordable Housing. On 20th June 2013 DCLG announced the appointment of Affordable Housing Finance Plc (AHF, a subsidiary of The Housing Finance Corporation Ltd) to deliver the Affordable Housing Guarantees Scheme. This contract notice deals exclusively with the PRS Housing Guarantee scheme. Tenderers will need to detail how they will raise and/or deploy the capital/funding required and provide loans to borrowers under the PRS Housing Guarantee scheme, together with the policies and procedures they will adopt.In order to reduce the overall interest cost to the borrowers, DCLG will provide a guarantee covering full repayment of principal and interest, in respect of either (i) the payment obligations of a borrower pursuant to a loan from, or arranged by, the tenderer and/or (ii) the scheduled payment obligations of the tenderer, or a vehicle established by the tenderer, in respect of any capital raised, where applicable, for the purpose of on-lending to one or more borrowers. Provision of the guarantee for each loan, or any capital raised for the purpose of funding a loan, will be subject to DCLG approval, which will take account of the eligibility and purpose of the loan and satisfaction and approval of the risks of the individual borrowing and/or project. Guarantees will become effective on completion of the related capital raising (where applicable) and on-lending transactions.Of key importance to DCLG is the maximisation of the benefit of the guarantee in reducing the cost of borrowing and minimising the risk of financial loss for DCLG as guarantor. Therefore tenderers will need to explain how they consider the capital can be raised (where applicable) or funding provided at the best price and provide their costings, both transactional and operational for the capital raising/funding and on-lending activities, so that the impact of these on the overall charge to be made to borrowers can be clearly assessed. Alongside this the approach to minimising the risk of financial loss including the proposed governance, control, risk assessment and due diligence policies and procedures should be set out.

title: Social mobility prospects of non-graduates

description:
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission (www.gov.uk/smcpc) is inviting proposals for research into the social mobility and life chances of non-graduates. The focus of this research is not those with low, few, or no qualifications. It is those who have achieved secondary-level education but have not achieved a university degree. It should therefore consider primarily those qualified at or above level 2 (5 A*-C at GCSE-level) but below level 6 (Honours degree).

      The purpose of this work is to understand for which groups the ‘non-graduate’ route is leading to positive social outcomes and for which groups it is not.

      This project has a quantitative element at its core. This should describe the life chances of different groups of non-graduates across the country on the basis of their characteristics and social background. This should be supported by a succinct review of relevant literature. Bids will be welcomed that include qualitative elements to ground findings in lived experience.

      The Commission seeks original, ambitious and robust proposals. Bids will be judged primarily on the proposed approach, expertise of team and value for money.
