The IIRMPSS system is widely used across NHS Scotland for the following
 - Incidents - report, manage and investigate incidents and near misses, including Serious Adverse Events (SAE) enabling compliance with SAE policy and statutory returns (e.g. Duty of Candour).
 - Claims - record all claims made against Health Boards, acting as both the medical negligence claims register and legal claims register, as required by the relevant Health Board’s Scheme of Delegation to be maintained.
 - FOI - record all FOI requests made and record responses, reviews and appeals thereto. This enables Health Boards to report to the Scottish Information Commissioner on elements of performance as required, and ensure they comply with the relevant legislation and standards, as outlined in Section 1.5 (References).
 - Complaints - record complaints made against Health Boards allowing monitoring and reporting of such data.
 - Risk Register – a central repository for Health Boards’ Risk Registers, capturing both risks that arise from Health Board activities and external risks from the environment in which Health Boards operate. This allows a process for controls, mitigation, and escalation.
 - M&M Reviews - support the management of Mortality & Morbidity (M&M) review meetings – which for example is a requirement of all medical departments within the Acute Division of NHSGGC to review clinical cases presented.
 - Care Experience - record, collate and theme Care Experience feedback reports, a key component of how Health Boards define quality care. This is acknowledged as a priority in the Scottish Government 2020 Vision, the Healthcare Quality Strategy for Scotland (2010) and is included as a key objective for example in the NHS Boards Healthcare Quality Strategy (2019).

You are required to complete fencing of a large pony paddock (534m perimeter with internal divide of length 93m) using horse netting and an electrified top line to make it safe and secure for Highland ponies while preventing pressure on the fence from both inside and outside.
 The paddock has been previously deer fenced and the majority of fencing is still in place and is required to be removed. Existing wooden fence posts and strainers are more than 15 years old and are rotten and loose. The majority of posts to be removed are wooden deer posts but there are also a few metal posts drilled into rock that could remain in place and be re-used. The site of the paddock is rocky in places with little soil depth and therefore a rock drill may be required. Use of metal posts should be considered.
 The fence line is on the site of an old settlement that is designated a scheduled monument. NatureScot is in the process of obtaining scheduled monument consent to allow the works to proceed.
 The fence design should be stock height with a distance of 5m between fence posts with horse safe netting and an electrified top wire. NatureScot has 500m of tornado horse netting in stock that can be used.
 4 metal gates are required to be put in place where indicated by a red line on the maps below. NatureScot already has these gates in stock.
 The paddock that requires fenced is approx.7 miles from where the ferry arrives and access is along a rough 4x4 track (travel time approx. 30mins). The paddock is beside the vehicle track. Vehicles and trailers must be booked on the ferry in advance.
 It is recommended that accommodation on Rum is booked in advance, there are limited accommodation options on island including a bunkhouse and a B&B.
 The contract must be completed by 20th October 2025.

description: Isle of Rum

description:
NatureScot is looking for an experienced fencing contractor to replace 627m of existing fencing on the Isle of Rum.

The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI), which is hosted at the University of Strathclyde, in partnership with Built Environment – Smarter Transformation (BE-ST) and the Moray Growth Deal (MGD) Housing Mix Delivery (HMD) project, is looking to procure a forward-thinking yet practically grounded digital blueprint for a smart rural home of the future—one that is adaptable across various geographic and demographic contexts and supports health and wellbeing across all stages. This work is a cornerstone of the Rural Centre of Excellence (RCE) for Digital Health & Care Innovation, part of the Moray Growth Deal’s (MGD) commitment to advancing integrated innovation in housing, health, and care. The digital blueprint will be widely showcased at national and international levels.
 The digital blueprint will not be a fully architecturally resolved house design. Instead, it will provide a strategic, design-informed framework combining technical insight, digital integration, and visual storytelling that makes the vision compelling and understandable for a range of audiences—from policymakers and funders to developers, planners, and residents of all ages. What makes this blueprint different is its truly integrated and forward-facing nature. It merges cutting-edge digital health and care technologies with sustainable, low-carbon construction and rural-specific design challenges—right from the start.
 The appointed contractor will have a rare opportunity to lead on the development of a nationally significant model for future rural living and integrated care. The successful team will be embedded in a high-profile, cross-sector collaboration with the University of Strathclyde’s Digital Care & innovation Centre (DHI), Built Environment – Smart Transformation (BE-ST), local authorities, and innovation partners. It offers the contractor an opportunity to be a thought leader in digital construction, sustainable design, and preventative smart health and care integration—areas of increasing strategic importance across public and private sectors.

SPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet’s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.
 In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.
 It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.
 In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
 Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.
