label: II.2.4 Description of the procurement

text:
Make Happen is a collaborative project which is funded and monitored by Office for Students (OfS), with the funding held at the University of Essex, as the lead institution. Make Happen is the working name of the current Uni Connect Partnership, formerly known as the National Collaborative Outreach Programme partnership for Essex,
As it stands, the Uni Connect Programme brings together 29 partnerships of universities, colleges and other local partners to deliver outreach programmes to young people in years 9 to 13 and to adult learners who are aged 19 and above. Their work is focused on local areas where higher education participation is lower than might be expected given the GCSE results of the young people who live there. There may also be opportunities to deliver activity to students in year 7 and 8 through the Outreach Hub.  However, the Office for Students may decide to further expand the targeted groups, within all the sub categories, during the life of the Quasi-DPS.
Make Happen is looking for educational providers/suppliers who can support us with meeting the government’s aims.
Phase three of Uni Connect aims to:
* Contribute to reducing the gap in higher education participation between the most and least represented groups.
* Equip young and adult learners from underrepresented groups to make an informed choice about their options in relation to the full range of routes into and through higher education and to minimise the barriers they may face when choosing the option that will unlock their potential.
* Support a strategic local infrastructure of universities, colleges and other partners that can cut through competitive barriers, offer an efficient and low-burden route for schools and colleges to engage, and address outreach ‘cold spots’ for underrepresented groups.
* Contribute to a stronger evidence base around ‘what works’ in higher education outreach and strengthen evaluation practice across the sector.
All activity needs to work towards these aims whilst at the same time falling in to the Office for Students subcategories.
The definition of this lot is: One to one, small group or online support from a trained mentor.
Potential bidders can request to participate by completing a qualification questionnaire to demonstrate how they meet the stated minimum selection criteria and their ability to fulfil the objectives of the relevant OfS subcategories. The University will use this information to inform a filtering process during any call-off procedure.
If a bidder scores a FAIL mark on any of the PASS/FAIL questions the bid may be rejected.
Providing that a potential bidder on the approved provider list has been identified as eligible for a particular calloff contract via the Quasi-DPS filtering process, and they continue to meet the minimum selection criteria, they will be able to have the opportunity to be awarded call-off contracts with specific schools/FEIs.
Each individual call-off contract will include the detailed service specification and any required service elements relating to such call-off contract. The procurement documentation includes the relevant terms and conditions that will be utilised by the parties for subsequent call-offs under the Quasi-DPS.

•	reduce the gap in higher education participation between the most and least represented groups
•	support young people to make well-informed decisions about their future education
•	support effective and impactful local collaboration by higher education providers working together with schools,colleges, employers and other partners
•	contribute to a stronger evidence base around ‘what works’ in higher education outreach and strengthenevaluation practice in the sector.
All activity needs to work towards these aims whilst at the same time falling in to the Office for Students subcategories.
The definition of this lot is: Overnight experiences providing a fuller experience of university/college life. Potential bidders can request to participate by completing a qualification questionnaire to demonstrate how they meet the stated minimum selection criteria and their ability to fulfil the objectives of the relevant OfS subcategories. The University will use this information to inform a filtering process during any call-off procedure.
If a bidder scores a FAIL mark on any of the PASS/FAIL questions the bid may be rejected.
Providing that a potential bidder on the approved provider list has been identified as eligible for a particular calloff contract via the Quasi-DPS filtering process, and they continue to meet the minimum selection criteria, they will be able to have the opportunity to be awarded call-off contracts with specific schools/FEIs.
Each individual call-off contract will include the detailed service specification and any required service elements relating to such call-off contract. The procurement documentation includes the relevant terms and conditions that will be utilised by the parties for subsequent call-offs under the Quasi-DPS.

Make Happen is a collaborative project which is funded and monitored by Office for Students (OfS), with the funding held at the University of Essex, as the lead institution. Make Happen is the working name of the current Uni Connect Partnership, formerly known as the National Collaborative Outreach Programme partnership for Essex,
As it stands, the Uni Connect Programme brings together 29 partnerships of universities, colleges and other local partners to deliver outreach programmes to young people in years 9 to 13 and to adult learners who are aged 19 and above. Their work is focused on local areas where higher education participation is lower than might be expected given the GCSE results of the young people who live there. There may also be opportunities to deliver activity to students in year 7 and 8 through the Outreach Hub.  However, the Office for Students may decide to further expand the targeted groups, within all the sub categories, during the life of the Quasi-DPS.
Make Happen is looking for educational providers/suppliers who can support us with meeting the government’s aims.
Phase three of Uni Connect aims to:
* Contribute to reducing the gap in higher education participation between the most and least represented groups.
* Equip young and adult learners from underrepresented groups to make an informed choice about their options in relation to the full range of routes into and through higher education and to minimise the barriers they may face when choosing the option that will unlock their potential.
* Support a strategic local infrastructure of universities, colleges and other partners that can cut through competitive barriers, offer an efficient and low-burden route for schools and colleges to engage, and address outreach ‘cold spots’ for underrepresented groups.
* Contribute to a stronger evidence base around ‘what works’ in higher education outreach and strengthen evaluation practice across the sector.
All activity needs to work towards these aims whilst at the same time falling into the Office for Students subcategories.
The definition of this lot is: Visits to university campuses to provide learners with direct experience, generally limited to one day in duration.
Potential bidders can request to participate by completing a qualification questionnaire to demonstrate how they meet the stated minimum selection criteria and their ability to fulfil the objectives of the relevant OfS subcategories. The University will use this information to inform a filtering process during any call-off procedure.
If a bidder scores a FAIL mark on any of the PASS/FAIL questions the bid may be rejected.
Providing that a potential bidder on the approved provider list has been identified as eligible for a particular calloff contract via the Quasi-DPS filtering process, and they continue to meet the minimum selection criteria, they will be able to have the opportunity to be awarded call-off contracts with specific schools/FEIs.

text: 2 900 000.00  GBP

description:
An EU Light Touch procurement exercise which is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 will be undertaken to select suppliers for a Quasi-Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will offer access to preapproved suppliers who can be appointed using a streamlined procurement process, ensuring the University obtains value for money whilst enabling the Office for Students’ objectives to be achieved efficiently.
For clarity, this procurement is not a DPS as defined under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, Regulation
34, but is a Quasi-DPS as defined in the procurement documents. This is because Section 7 — Social and Other Specific Services are not subject to the full regulations of the procurement procedures, as they are covered by the light touch regime (the Light Touch Regime as allowed under Regulations 74 to 77).
The Quasi-DPS will be broken down into eight lots.
Estimated Quasi-DPS value excluding VAT between 0 GBP — 1 800 000 GBP.

— ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: https://www.espo.org/legal
Any second framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
— An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call-off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the framework agreement.

Bridgend CBC have used a provider for Hybrid Mail (Off Site) Services for the previous eight years, and are running an invitation to tender to supply hybrid mail for the next three years.
Bridgend CBC introduced hybrid mail to reduce the amount of on site printing, reduce administration, and to eliminate the requirement for a courier service between different buildings. The ability to print end of year council tax and housing benefit letters has reduced the need for printing approximately 60,000 letters and the administration of packing 60,000 envelopes over a two week period in March each year.
During the Covid-19 pandemic over the last twenty two months, the ability for officers to continue to distribute letters to customers and stakeholders, whilst working from home, by printing to the hybrid mail print driver installed locally on each laptop has been a massive benefit to the business as officers moved seamlessly to working from home.
Volume of letters sent to our provider has remained pretty consistent over the last four years at around half a million items per annum, as has annual spend of approximately GBP 240,000.

Staff must hold a number of qualifications as follows;
- Relevant Masters Degree and professional qualification (one or more of the following):

description: The Health Board have a requirement for agency staff who specialise and have experience of working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

reviewDetails:
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board will allow a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.
Unsuccessful tenderers and applicants are entitled to receive reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages of the winning bid and the reasons why the tenderer/applicant was unsuccessful. Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1. Aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the procurement rules have the right to take action in the High Court (England and Wales). Any such action is subject to strict time limits in accordance with the Public Contracts (Amendments) Regulations 2015.

procurementMethodRationale: The Health Board have exhausted internal options for the increased staffing requirement including a recruitment campaign, utilisation of the staff bank and secondment opportunities. As a consequence the Children, Young People and Family Health Services have sought external provision. CAMHS Professionals is an agency staffing provider, specialising in candidates that are trained and have significant experience of working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. They have a large pool of suitably trained staff available for booking, with many available in the local area for face to face work rather than working solely remotely. There are a number of key differences between Welsh and English CAMHS services and having access to local staff with experience of the Welsh CAMHS system and local services is helpful in mobilising staff quickly in to roles to meet the high demands on services. Similarly, access to Welsh candidates supports our commitment to The Welsh Language Measure. The skill level and experience of candidates always meets and often exceeds the requirements of the service.
