The Authority has established a probation services dynamic framework (‘DF’) to purchase services to deliver rehabilitation and resettlement interventions under the ‘Light Touch Regime’. The DF contains 14 ‘Service Categories’ based on service user needs and  cohorts.

description: Probation services

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
Justification
The Authority considers the award of the contracts without prior publication of a contract notice is permitted by Regulation 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 on the basis that no and/or no compliant tenders were received in the 17 call-off competitions run under the DF. No bids were received in the following call-off competitions: seven Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) areas for Personal Wellbeing (PWB) contracts; seven for Women’s Services contracts; and two PCC areas for Young Adults in Wales. No compliant tenders were received for one call-off competition for a Women’s Services contract.
Section VI.3 of the Contract Notice for the DF published on 15 June 2020 (see IV.2.1) gave notice that the Authority could directly award a call-off contract pursuant to Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where there is a call-off competition failure.
Accordingly, after due consideration, the Authority has decided to make direct awards in each of these areas pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(a) on grounds of competition failure.
Further, the Authority relies on Regulation 32(2)(c). The Authority undertook extensive market engagement in the design of the DF and engaged with tenderers answering clarification questions after the call-off competitions were launched. Suppliers had indicated via the Dynamic Framework that they would be willing to deliver services in the PCC areas with failed bids. There was no indication that one or more competitions would fail and such failures therefore constitute unforeseeable events. These failures have brought about conditions of extreme urgency as there is insufficient time to comply with the relevant time limits to re-run these competitions and to enable successful tenderers to mobilise in time for service commencement on 26 June 2021, by reason whereof, direct awards are necessary.
The Authority intends to make the contract awards no later than 04 May 2021 to allow sufficient time to mobilise the contracts by 26 June 2021.
The Authority selected the provider to be awarded each contract from those providers that have been successful in securing one or more DF contracts in the relevant Service Category (PWB England;  PWB Wales; Young Adults Wales; Women’s Services) using a fair and transparent methodology.
The Authority intends to enter into the relevant contract on substantially the same terms originally advertised (in the Personal Wellbeing (both England and Wales) and Young Adults Wales ITTs published on 19 October 2020 and the Women’s Services ITTs published on 24 November 2020). The contract term shall be for the delivery of services for 2 years from 26 June 2021.
The Authority approached potential providers pursuant to the above methodology and following further assessment and dialogue made its selection accordingly.
This VEAT notice relates to the proposed contract for Women’s Services in Thames Valley. Further information is provided in section V.

description: The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) plans to run a procurement process during 2021 for the external audit of the NMC’s financial statements, for the year ending 31 March 2022 onwards.The NMC is established and governed by the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 ("the Order").  We are a charity registered in England and Wales (number 1091434) and in Scotland (number SC038362).We are funded by registration fees paid by nurses, midwives and nursing associates.  Our total income is around £90 million and is highly secure.  We employ around 1,000 staff, currently most working remotely.  We also have offices at four locations, three in London and one in Edinburgh.We are a public body, established by statute.  Although our closest relationship within government is with the Department of Health and Social Care and our accounts are consolidated into the DHSC’s group accounts, we are independent and not controlled by DHSC or any other government department. We are accountable to Parliament through the Privy Council. We take into account the principles in Managing Public Money.  However we are not subject to the detailed controls over expenditure that apply to departments, agencies and NDPBs.We are subject to the Public Contracts Regulations and our policies and processes comply with those Regulations in full.  We follow the Treasury’s Financial Reporting Manual in the preparation of our statutory accounts, to the extent that it clarifies or builds on the financial reporting requirements in the Charities SORP. Full details our statutory accounting requirements are set out in The Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 (Form of Accounts) Determination 2010 which are reproduced on the last pages of our published annual report and accounts.We have a dual external audit function. The Order requires our Council to appoint auditors to audit our statutory accounts, and the Order also appoints the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) to audit the accounts.   The C&AG’s audit is carried out by the National Audit Office. The Council-appointed auditors report to Council, and the C&AG reports to Parliament.  In practise we prepare our annual report and accounts broadly in accordance with the HM Treasury Financial Reporting Manual (FReM), which impacts significantly on the content of the annual report, and to a limited extent on the disclosures in the notes to the accounts.  Understanding of the requirements of the FReM is, therefore, desirable.Our accounts preparation and audit works to a relatively tight timetable.  We will provide draft statutory accounts by the end of the third week in April, and we require the audit to be substantially completed by the first week in June, so that the Audit Committee can review the results and recommend approval of the accounts to Council when they meet in early June.  Council sign off the account in the first or second week of July, and the accounts are certified by the C&AG and laid in Parliament before the summer recess.It is therefore essential that a successful supplier is able to carry out the audit quickly and efficiently.  We want the work to be front loaded as much as possible to relieve pressure in April and May, and we want you to place as much reliance as practicable on our internal controls.  We work electronically rather than on paper and we will expect you to rely on electronic evidence rather than paper or physical evidence except in exceptional circumstances. Additional information: Please note no tender documents have been issued at this stage; the functional requirements capability specification will be published in the future Invitation to Tender documents with the  Contract Notice. The procurement will use the Intend e-Sourcing portal https://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/nmc

title: The external audit of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s financial statements

description: This is a prior information notice for the forthcoming service contract for the external audit of the NMC’s financial statements, for the year ending 31 March 2022 onwards. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator of nurses and midwives in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and nursing associates in England.Our overarching objective is the protection of the public, and we are a registered charity, but our finances are much simpler and more secure than many charities: we have no voluntary income, or charity shops, or branches or subsidiaries.  So we have less need for charity expertise from our auditors than other charities might, but charity expertise is still relevant and desirable.Our key operations include the maintenance of our register and our fitness to practise process, and our income is almost entirely made up of our registration fees.  Experience of working with other regulatory or membership organisations and understanding of those business processes is desirable.

The Partners’ global connectivity requirements are currently provided by a single supplier which has responsibility for the provision of the bulk of the Partners’ local and wide area network requirements.
The Partners are disaggregating their connectivity requirements into i) network integration services, the scope of which comprises MPLS and VSAT connectivity, an intelligent routing platform, secure internet gateway and related services and ii) global internet connectivity.
The scope of this notice is the proposed procurement of internet connectivity at approximately 500 Partner sites in 175 countries.  The FCDO is proposing to establish a DPS for the procurement of global internet connectivity.   Potential suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any time following the publication of this Contract Notice.
Once the DPS is established, suppliers that have successfully qualified to join the DPS may be invited to take part in a series of procurements for the provision of global internet connectivity at the Partner sites. The size and scope of these future procurements have not yet been established by the Partners, but the FCDO anticipates that the first procurements will take place in the late summer of 2021.
The network integration service is the subject of a separate procurement.  The contract notice for the network integration service, reference 2020/S 106-258337, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 3rd June 2020.
The FCDO has produced a descriptive document that provides further information on the Partners and their global connectivity requirements. Additional information: The FCDO will be the Contracting Authority, acting on behalf of the Partners, and it intends to make the DPS available to other UK Central Government bodies.

description:
The Contracting Authority, on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the British Council (collectively the ‘Partners’), intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of global internet connectivity services.

The global internet connectivity services will connect ministerial headquarters and other head offices in the UK with their respective embassies, consulates and other office locations, totalling approximately 500 sites in 175 countries.
The FCDO makes no contractual commitment to procure any global internet connectivity services under the DPS. However, significant elements are expected to be called off when the DPS is established (or very shortly thereafter).

title: Lot1 - for Hazard assessment, property survey and handover (Standard 1, 2 and 5)

description:
Following the introduction of the PFR Code of Practice and new standards for flood products, the EA has taken the decision to replace its current PFR procurement framework. The new framework will embed the requirements of these additions to ensure that end users receive the highest quality output.
Suppliers are invited to take part in a short survey, details of which are included below.
Suppliers should note that neither the procurement nor the survey relate to the supply of products/ components alone.
It is currently the intention of the EA that the new framework will have two Lots:
- Lot 1: Hazard assessment, property survey and handover (Standard 1, 2 and 5)
- Lot 2: Options, installation, commissioning and handover (Standard 3,4 and 5)
The above standards refer to the ciria Code of practice for property flood resilience (CIRIA C790C Making your property more flood resilient – what households and businesses need to know), available to download from the ciria website at the following link:
https://www.ciria.org/Resources/Free_publications/CoP_for_PFR_resource.aspx
Effective contract management and solution oversight is critical for the successful delivery of PFR. There continues to be a role of a Managing Agent in the new framework. This role provides vital resource to Project Clients, ensures compliant contract delivery and project oversight of each solution from concept to handover. The EA is considering two options:
1: Embed the role of the Managing Agent within the above Lot 1 scope
2: Provision of a separate Lot
It is intended that this pre-tender engagement will provide an understanding of supplier availability to deliver the services under each option. The outputs of this exercise will therefore assist with shaping the new framework and future of this service.
DEFINITION OF PROPERTY FLOOD RESILIENCE
Whereas the EA’s existing PFR framework focuses on the provision of resistance measures for residential property, the new framework will require:
- Consideration of resistance, recoverability and preparedness interventions
- Provision of services for residential and non-residential premises
As end-user requirements and preference are paramount to the successful delivery of PFR. It is expected that Lot 1 will ascertain the needs of the End User and complete hazard assessment and property survey, with the works delivered under Lot 2.
CIWEM ACCREDITATION
The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management are currently developing an accreditation process; suppliers will be required to commit to obtaining this accreditation in due course.
REGIONAL DELIVERY
We are considering national or regional delivery for the services as delivering projects at a regional level may offer benefits including local business delivery, increased collaboration, carbon reduction and the potential for increased uptake of maintenance packages. This would be based on alignment to existing EA hubs:  North East, North West, Midlands, Eastern, South West, South East.

To ensure competitive delivery and programme resilience, the EA may limit the number of hubs suppliers are appointed to. It is therefore essential that the spread of suppliers across the country is understood, and/ or any areas of limited supplier coverage are identified.
The EA invites interested suppliers to register their interest in this framework and take part in a short survey to assist with shaping the future framework. Please see the details of how to take part in the survey below.
The EA intends to use the information captured by this survey to assist with shaping the future framework and the procurement approach; suppliers are therefore asked to ensure their responses are as accurate possible. Additional information: Please email Clare.mead@environment-agency.gov.uk to  register your interest and request a copy of the survey stating which lot you are expressing an interest in.

title: Provision of Fasudil Hydrochloride Capsules

description:
The University of Exeter requires an end-to-end solution for Fasudil Hydrochloride Capsules.  The product will be used as clinical supply for a Phase IIa study. The clinical trial will likely be conducted in the USA and/or Europe (United Kingdom and Norway), therefore all formulation components and finished product must meet the regulatory requirements of USP/EP/BP and any required Norwegian pharmacopeia standards. The supplier must also comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and ensure that all supplies are released for clinical use by a duly certified Quality Person (QP).
The supplier will undertake an evaluation of 3rd party suppliers for the procurement of the Drug Substance (DS)  Fasudil Hydrochloride. It is anticipated that approximately 8.5kg of DS will be required for use in Drug Product development and manufacturing activities. This includes approximately 1kg DS for non-GMP activities and 7.5kg DS for GMP activities related to the project.
The supplier will perform development activities in order to establish suitable capsule formulations for 20mg and 40mg active dose strengths and matching placebo. These development activities will include the manufacture of up to six development batches at a batch size of approximately 750g -1.5kg. The lead and back-up formulations will be subjected to a short-term stability evaluation. The purpose of this effort is to manufacture sufficient supplies of prototypes to illustrate the likely process for clinical supply, and to prepare samples for accelerated stability testing so that suitable formulations of active and placebo tablets can be identified.
To fulfil clinical supply, the CTM active and placebo batches will be manufactured in three separate campaigns.
First Campaign:
one CTM Placebo batch at approximately 43,000 units
one CTM Active 20mg dose strength batch at 6,000 units
one CTM Active 40mg strength batch at approximately 40,000 units
Second campaign:
one CTM Placebo batch at approximately 43,000 units
one CTM Active batch at approximately 40,000 units
Third campaign:
one CTM Placebo batch at approximately 43,000 units
one CTM Active batch at approximately 40,000 units
Each CTM batch will be bulk packaged, labelled (in English and Norwegian) and shipped to enable delivery of the final QP released batches to the locations requested by Client (anticipated to be in the UK and Norway, 3 or 4 sites in total). The supplier will be responsible for any customs clearance required. The supplier will be required to provide all necessary supporting services including, but not limited to, sourcing materials and the active pharmaceutical ingredient/drug substance, production, storage, labelling, packaging, quality control, qualified person release, packing, transport, loading/unloading, import/export, delivery and waste disposal.

title: Provision of Wildlife Scanning Surveillance

description:
Services to support APHA delivery of surveillance of wildlife disease which may threaten human, livestock and wildlife health in England and Wales. The services required in order to deliver this are:
•	Providing high quality surveillance data through a number of different reports to APHA.
•	Providing specialist advice services
•	Carrying out field investigations of wildlife mortality across the country
•	Carrying out post-mortem examinations and laboratory investigations of wildlife carcases.
•	Providing threat notification where a new or perceived threat is identified to APHA. Additional information: If you have concerns regarding this decision please ensure that you contact Melanie Swain, Defra Group Commercial, at john.forecast@defra.gov.uk clearly detailing the basis of your concerns within 10 calendar days of the publication of this notice.

description:
The Surveillance Intelligence Unit (SIU) at APHA manages veterinary scanning surveillance activities to quickly detect, characterise and manage threats and risks in livestock and wildlife in Great Britain. The SIU generates intelligence on these animal health threats from information and data gathered through the Great Britain (GB) diagnostic network, from a variety of sources, including networks of specialist expertise both within and external to APHA. Threats are diverse and can include:
•	A novel disease or pathogen such as Schmallenberg virus
•	Exotic or notifiable disease, such as Bluetongue
•	A new pathogen variant or subtype, such as the RHD2 variant in rabbits
•	Novel or rare antimicrobial resistance, such as transferable colistin resistance
•	Public health concern due to zoonoses or toxicity, such as Salmonella
•	Changes in endemic disease trends

description: Veterinary services

procurementMethodRationale:
Following a market engagement & review by APHA in 2017, the Institute of Zoology were identified as the only supplier capable of delivering these services due to the unique expertise, specialised training, resources, capability and capacity required. IoZ were also in a unique position to collect data from alternative sources via the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Garden Wildlife Health Scheme.
These services include:
•	Monthly Emerging Threat Reports
•	Monthly Horizon-Scanning report on wildlife disease threats identified globally
•	Specialist advice including ad-hoc consultancy on specific disease issues/threats
•	Post-mortem examinations performed to ISO17025 standard
•	Laboratory diagnosis/investigations performed to ISO17025 standard
•	Sample collection for West Nile Virus (WNV) testing
•	Bio-secure carcase storage facilities
•	Threat notification
Given APHA’s close working relation with the market through professional associations & contractually, the Agency is satisfied that the market situation has not changed since the previous market engagement was conducted. Therefore, STA justification is on the grounds of PCR 2015 clause 32(b)(b):
(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons.

Atos IT Services UK Ltd

legalName: Atos IT Services UK Ltd

description: Health and social work services

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Following pre-market engagement DWP concluded that the IT and estate infrastructure needed to support new contracts present substantial challenges to new market entrants and unacceptable risk in respect of a six month transition period. The modification (i) provides sufficient time to develop solutions within the existing contract to ensure the safe migration of the services and (ii) allow DWP to develop, build, test and implement an IT solution to support the new contract(s).
A change in contractor would not be possible as the changes are intrinsically linked to the current contracts. The absence of a viable DWP IT system would substantially increase the cost of new contracts, increase the risk of contract failure and result in the exclusion of market entrants for future service delivery.
The changes are also necessary to make the extension commercially viable and offer value for money. PIP is a critical statutory welfare benefit and a gap in service provision is unacceptable.

description:
Secure assessment service continuity and stability beyond the current contracts end date on 31/07/21 extending the Lot 1 contract for the period 01/08/21 to 31/07/23.
Provide the contractual flexibility for any subsequent changes to ongoing service design necessitated by Covid-19 measures and any associated Policy changes made, during the extension period.
Allow the Department to implement pre-Covid flexibilities to remove volume and service from Providers into a Departmental Transformation Area/to deliver Devolution of PIP, if required.
Transition to a Cost Plus funding model for the extension period to strike the right level of risk ownership to drive optimal performance and to address the continuing impact of Covid-19.
