description:
The University of Highlands and Islands currently utilise a Student Placement Software system, however the contract for this has come to an end and we are looking to procure a new student placement software system. There are two areas involved in managing placements, the Nursing and Midwifery department and the Optometry department with the potential of more areas coming on board in the future. The Nursing and Midwifery Department program is hosted over two campuses, Inverness and the Western Isles while the Optometry department is based in Inverness. The BSc Nursing Degree is a three-year program and in total is 270-500 students per year, undertaking 2-4 placements per year, whereas the Optometry course is delivered over four years and has approximately 160 students during the four years, undertaking up to 2 placement per year. Both areas send their students on placements throughout the Highlands and Islands geographically. The Nursing and Midwifery Department send their students on placements from anything between a few weeks to a few months, whereas the Optometry Department can be anything from a week to a month.
 Prior to tender being published we are inviting interested parties to demonstrate their software solutions; the demonstration will be delivered the week of the 25th of September and will take place through the week. All demonstrations will be conducted via MS Teams. The allocation time for demonstrations will be 1.5 hrs with Q&A being 30 minutes.
 During the demo’s we would like to be shown but not restricted to how intuitive and easy the solution is to browse, set up and configure the system, how are learning outcomes displayed, what the user interfaces look like. What are the placement coordinator, student (and if applicable the placement provider) views of the system and how are these configured, laid out and linked within the rest of the solution, how are placements setup and delivered, show reporting within the system, how is retention set, or students deleted from the system.

Award of Contract - East Lothian Council requires a qualified and experienced provider to deliver an intensive support service for children and young people in East Lothian.
 The Service Provider will undertake direct work with young people focusing upon their behaviour, building on their strengths and qualities, strengthening family links and engaging positively with their community. This may require home visits and work within the communities of East Lothian.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

Award of Contract - East Lothian Council - Children's Services requires an intensive support service (ISS) for children and young people in East Lothian who are at risk of being removed from their family network due to their behaviour which brings them into conflict with the law.
 In response to The Promise, Children’s Services Partnership Priorities and Service Priorities for 2023/24; East Lothian Council now seeks to commission an Intensive Support Service which fits with the above strategic/ service priorities and reflects the model of provision we have been developing locally, which is:
 Holistic and relational
 Experienced as therapeutic
 Delivered by a workforce who have skills to be persistent without stigmatising
 Engages with families by empowering and respecting their agency and knowledge
 Underpinned by United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
 The Service will be delivered in families’ homes and within their communities and prospective tenderers must ensure their workers are able to travel to families anywhere within the locality for which the Service is provided.
 Working with children and young people considered to be on a very concerning path, the service provider will engage with children and young people for whom there is significant professional concerns and elevated risk factors. Without social work intervention coordinating a multi-agency plan for the child and family there is a high likelihood these children/young people would be placed in external to East Lothian, residential accommodation or secure accommodation.

performanceTerms:
The successful bidder will require to enter into a data sharing agreement with East Lothian Council.
 Staff performing the services will require to have the relevant disclosure checks with the PVG scheme.
 Tenderers must have suitably trained and experienced staff.

description: Optional extension period of 12 months up until 31 March 2027.

description:
Many employers in Scotland face skills shortages. The ending of free movement has made it harder for employers to get the talent they need. The UK’s immigration system is complex and bureaucratic. Employers require good quality advice and information to help them navigate the system. Our discovery work to date suggests that employers’ immigration needs are best met through three tiers of support.
 Tier one will be a universal offer, available to everyone, and will include the provision of up-to-date and accurate immigration information in plain English.
 Tier two support will be a ‘one to many’ offer. It will assist employers who are actively seeking to recruit talent to Scotland.
 Tier three support will entail one-to-one advice for employers whose needs are not met through the first two tiers. The supplier will be responsible for organising, hosting and delivering advice sessions.

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde is leading on the provision of a digital platform for supporting patients with long-term chronic medical conditions (i.e. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) within NHS Scotland and wishes to put in place a single supplier framework. This PIN Seeks further market information.
 COPD is a common, progressive, preventable and treatable respiratory disorder that affects 120,000 people in Scotland, and is forecast to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. It is characterised by frequent exacerbations that result in a reduction in
 quality of life and disease progression for patients. Over 25% of the COPD population are considered to have high risk/severe COPD.
 Currently NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (GGC) is using an innovation solution to provide a COPD Digital Service to re-orientate and channel shift clinical services and better respond to clinical delivery pressures. The COPD Digital Service allows the clinical monitoring of COPD patients while at home. Having proved the value of home monitoring in terms of patient benefit, clinical staff time, and hospital appointment costs, it is time to move this innovation project into a business as normal process available to all patients in NHS GGC and potentially other Scottish Health Boards.
 Although this PIN specifically references COPD, the platform described in Section 5 of the attached document may be applied to manage Patients with other long-term conditions.
 NHS GGC is leading on this procurement exercise but it is anticipated other NHS Boards in Scotland may use a potential single supplier framework which could result from a future tender exercise

description:
The ocean quahog (Arctica islandica) is a Priority Marine Feature in Scottish waters, on the OSPAR List of Threatened and/or Declining Species & Habitats and a Protected Feature in some Marine Protected Areas in Scottish waters. This large bivalve is notoriously difficult to survey, occurring occasionally in grab samples in the North Sea, including in planned ScotWind Option Agreements. Existing species distribution models (SDMs) provide some information for the North Sea, but are influenced by sampling difficulties. Additionally, ocean quahog distribution maps and modelled outputs currently available, are of a coarse resolution when considering offshore wind developments. Specific studies on ocean quahog populations with regional precision are lacking and existing data are unlikely to produce a robust distribution estimate. Therefore, a new approach including further data collection is required.
 The contractor is encouraged to consider innovative techniques such as environmental DNA (eDNA), habitat suitability modelling and/or imagery technology, coupled with artificial intelligence, to improve existing Arctica islandica distribution maps in the context of offshore wind development.
 This tender will contribute to the evidence base for environmental assessments for ScotWind and INTOG developments and facilitate future planning with respect to the potential impacts offshore wind developments on the ocean quahog.
 The contract is expected to cover a period of 3 years from November 2023.

title: Supply, install and maintenance of access ramps and housings

description:
This contract is for the supply, install and maintenance of ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail network.
 It is intended for any new goods and services to be added to the existing agreements already in place.

procurementMethodRationale: This procurement involves the variation to an existing contract which was lawfully procured whilst ScotRail was under private ownership. The incumbent supplier (Portaramp UK Limited) currently provides maintenance and supply of five different access ramp types which are compatible with over 10 different types of ScotRail fleet. Adding additional ramps from an alternative supplier would create significant challenge regarding compatibility with existing fleet, staff training, safety and maintenance of the ramps. Currently, all ramps are utilised and often redistributed throughout the network based on demand or to assist during special events. Such workings would be unachievable logistically should multiple suppliers supply the equipment. Introducing additional ramps will increase the risk of an incorrect ramp being used or being used incorrectly by the end user. This presents a significant safety risk to both ScotRail employees and customers.
