The contract will commence on 01 April 2023 for an initial period of three years with the option to extend for a further 12 months at the sole discretion of the Isle of Wight Council.

procurementMethodRationale: The Isle of Wight Council owns the licenses to use Capita's Education Management System (EMS) and to enable the Council to continue use of the licenses we need to have a Support and Maintenance contract in place. The only supplier capable of providing this requirement is Capita, as any other supplier used for the provision of the support and maintenance would invalidate the licenses. The Isle of Wight Council has direct awarded the contract for the Support and Maintenance of the Education Management System for the Isle of Wight Council under the KCS Procurement Services framework Y20023 (The Provision of Managed Services for Business Solutions). The Isle of Wight Council meets the criteria against which to direct award under the KCS Procurement Services framework Y20023, which includes continuity of existing goods/services from an awarded supplier, goods/services required are unique/exclusive to one manufacturer/supplier, the supplier is able to supply the required goods/services within the customers timescales and the customer is satisfied that, following their own due diligence, they can identify the supplier that offers best value for their requirement. The Isle of Wight Council issued a VEAT notice on 17th March 2023 (2023/S 000-007838) and observed a 10-day standstill period which ended at midnight on 27th March 2023.

NHSBT requires a direct contractual relationship with either the manufacturer or any other economic operator for a complete end-to-end integrated solution, which must include all the necessary equipment, installation, maintenance, consumables, reagents, software, including an inter-operability provision with NHSBT’s existing IT infrastructure, and an overall on-going support mechanism that may be required to carry out the necessary testing as stated below.
All in vitro diagnostic medical devices, for example, instruments, consumables, and reagents must be CE/UKCA marked for EDTA plasma drawn from blood donors. Other specific requirements are outlined below.
The solution:
A s Fully integrated high throughput testing solution is required for screening blood and plasma donors  for HAV RNA and Parvovirus B19 DNA. Samples  will be pooled prior to screening therefore pooling equipment is also required as part of the solution.
The HAV RNA and Parvovirus B19 DNA testing solution must have the ability to test EDTA plasma samples from blood & plasma donors that have been stored frozen for up to 2 years at minus 20 degrees (-20).
In addition, the solution will be required to support NHSBT’s Microbiology Services Laboratory, a small specialist laboratory based in Colindale, solely in a contingency role to support NHSBT business continuity for essential screening services, therefore the testing solution MUST also have the ability to test the following as individual donations ie not pooled )  using the same analyser as for HAV and B19: HBV DNA, HIV-1 RNA, HIV-2 RNA, HCV RNA, HEV RNA in EDTA plasma samples from non-blood (e.g. stem cell, tissue) donors including those from deceased (non-heart beating) donors.
Great Britain (GB) will continue to recognise CE marking under the IVDD or IVDR until 30 June 2024 and from 1 July 2024 devices placed on the GB market must be UKCA marked under the UK MDR 2002 as amended. The end-to-end solution must be capable of producing test results in a format that can be utilised by NHSBT’s host IT (PULSE) system.
HAV RNA and Parvovirus B19 DNA testing will be performed at an purpose built NHSBT laboratory based in Manchester with the following approximate number of samples per marker per year for donation screening:
Throughput: Approx: 146,000 samples per month until July 2024; July 2024 onwards 95,000 samples per month
Molecular Screening Throughput Contingency
The HAV & B19 laboratory will act as a contingency laboratory for the Molecular Screening service. As this is a contingency requirement due to a business continuity need, the numbers of tests required will be variable depending on the business continuity response. We anticipate the numbers to be relatively low compared to HAV and B19 and NHSBT will manage the work flow during a business continuity response working in partnership with the supplier to execute.

It is important that interested parties respond to this PIN, as prior KEG approval will be a mandatory requirement for any associated future tender opportunity, in-line with the requirements of the Guidelines for the Blood Transfusion Services in the United Kingdom (Red Book - https://www.transfusionguidelines.org/red-book). NHSBT will seek to understand the status of assays which would be offered with regards to KEG. Any organisations wishing to participate in the KEG evaluation process must also submit their relating assay IFUs by 17th April 2023 to tennille.madigan@nhsbt.nhs.uk
Further details on KEG and the process will be provided during Supplier Engagement. The format of Supplier Engagement will be communicated to those organisations that respond to this PIN; however, this is likely to be virtual meetings conducted via Microsoft Teams during March/April 2023. Expressions of interest should be e-mailed to tennille.madigan@nhsbt.nhs.uk by 17th April 2023.

The Wide Field Astronomy Unit has secured additional funding  in order to further expand the high density compute server over the next 1-2 year period with the project to be completed by 2024. The increase does not exceed 50% of the initial contract value. The additional supplies and services required were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier cannot be made for technical reasons.
The original market investigation of the compute server suppliers showed that only Eclipse Computing can provide equipment matching the technical requirements for The Wide Field Astronomy Unit high density storage needs. The data centre is space limited and requires a very rack dense configuration of network attached storage devices. An NCA was approved on this basis in 2020. The contract modification would ensure interoperability with existing equipment procured under the initial procurement.
A change of supplier for the final phase of the server expansion would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for The Wide Field Astronomy Unit. Introducing new technical specifications would require re-engineering of the existing server solution and added administrative and software development workloads on already time-limited staff. Any new equipment specifications would require retooling existing service deployment and operations code. Even allowing for additional time and expense it is not guaranteed as to whether another supplier would be able to achieve our technical requirements and space constraints.

Renewal to enable continuation of services via a Direct Award -REG32 5(b)

The Contact Centre Strategy, transformation and change programme which underpins the NHSBSA customer contact strategy is key to the delivery of NHS critically funded services has resulted in a multi-faceted re-procurement, and programme management exercise which is a current priority for the NHSBSA.
There are a number of interdependent parallel workstreams specifically relating to the phasing of procurements, contract renewals, extensions, third party upgrades to end of life systems, migration activities, de-coupling, implementing, and transitioning with additional interdependencies between applications and key systems which tie into the modernisation and change programme. This includes the Work Force Management system which Citizen Services use to manage contact centre agents work streams with the general public.
The previous contract was sourced via G-Cloud and there are no further extensions to the existing contract available under these terms. To mitigate the risks of potential disruption, operational failures, and ensure there is no loss of service during the period of change, and transition and to ensure a continuation of the existing workforce management service whilst the technically complex nature of this programme of work is completed, we have renewed this service  using a Direct Award under Reg 32 5(b) within the 3-year allowable term.

The scope of the contract covers the renewal of the NHSBSA’s current Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription for a workforce management system, which is used by NHSBSA’s Citizen Services and Corporate Services directorates. The SaaS subscription covers both licencing and services.  The services include but are not limited to cloud hosting; support and maintenance; configuration, customisation, and development services; training; and other associated services as may be required throughout the term.
Once the NHSBSA have completed all procurements and migration activities associated with this programme of modernisation, we will have a stable baseline to determine the business needs required to inform a full re-procurement exercise. It is the NHSBSA’s intention to re visit the market in 2024/25 to look at options for 2026 onwards.

description:
The Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust (DSAMAT) encompasses 13 schools and circa 3071 pupils in and around Dunstable and Bedford.
The Trust Head Office is based at Manshead CE Academy.
The Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust (DSAMAT) was established in 2016 by the Diocese of St Albans.
We are an inclusive Trust, working with schools in the Diocese of St Albans (the Local Authority areas of Hertfordshire, Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, Luton, parts of the London Borough of Barnet and two parishes in Buckinghamshire).  Our Trust works with Church of England and community schools that share our values and ethos, and a commitment to a broad education that prepares pupils for a happy, fulfilled life.
We have a clear vision about creating and maintaining successful schools that serve their unique local communities through the provision of a rich and diverse curriculum underpinned by Christian values.
The Trust exists to make a difference and improve the lives of our pupils, staff, and wider community.  To do this, we have three strategic aims:
1.	To deliver an excellent education for children and young people, that will enable them to flourish throughout their lives.
2.	To be an employer of choice, ensuring that staff and volunteers flourish in our care and are enabled to be the best that they can be.
3.	To act as responsible stewards, securing strong and sustainable futures for our schools and communities
Like many Trusts DSAMAT has brought together a group of schools all of which originally had their own ICT strategies, technologies, support arrangements, finances, teaching and learning approaches using ICT etc., so from a Trust perspective DSAMAT 'inherited' a number of 'ICT islands'.
Some progress has been made to begin to join up services.  The Trust has plans for further expansion over the next 5 years - possible as much as another 10 schools including one secondary, so an ICT strategy is required to stabilize the current cohort of schools and provide a foundation for future growth.
The current  ICT Support across the Trust is currently provided by a  mix of both Trust-employed and contractor (3rd party) staff.
The Trust is taking the opportunity to go to the market to identify the best innovative and forward-looking partner to  provide a single, holistic service and support them in the delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years.
The companies identified from these shortlisting questions to receive the ITT for the Managed Service will then receive a detailed set of requirements. For the purposes of this shortlisting stage bidders should assume that the service will include, but is not be limited to;
•	strategic advice and direction to the Trust regarding ICT
•	a 42 week core service, incorporating on-site staff/visits as necessary
•	Service desk
•	local staffing that bidders deem necessary to deliver the SLA
•	responsibility for design, specification, installation, and management of all ICT infrastructure
•	supply of goods and services based on an agreed Best Value  approach
•	management of all ICT against an agreed SLA
•	management of 3rd parties
•	relevant monitoring, management, patching and reporting
•	training - technical and curriculum as necessary
•	risk registers and inventory management
•	collective partnership targets aligned to the Trusts objectives
•	in school support for the integration and upgrade of the communications and security infrastructure
Bidders should note the following:
•	The Trust will provide a standard contract as part of the ITT Pack
•	There may be a requirement for TUPE of up to two existing Trust employees

NHS North West London ICB requires the provision of various Enhanced Primary Care Services
covering the total registered population across multiple General Practice (GP) and Primary Care Network (PCN) sites from 1st April 2023. The contract term will be (3) years with the option to extend by a further two (2) year period, until 31st March 2028.

The contracts have been designed to deliver a range of enhanced primary care services via 45 PCNs, via the lead practice or where the PCN has formed a legal entity, (with GP practices subcontractors) in each of the 8 boroughs in North West London. Full patient population coverage has been made central to improve local care and reduce variability in people's outcomes. This will ensure that every patient has access to the range of services offered.

Specifications within the contracts are for out of hospital services to include services such as phlebotomy, ECG, diabetes, mental health and are outcomes based.

PCN level contracts have been designed to focus on improving clinical outcomes, driving improvements in the consistency of care provision in all GP practices, reduce unwarranted variation in general practice and reduce health and care inequalities for the whole population it serves.

The contracts are delivered at PCN level (with GP practices subcontractors) to enable delivery of the full range of services covered by the contracts and full patient population coverage.

NHS NW London ICB currently has contract arrangements in place with GP practices and with some GP Federations where services are delivered at scale through NHS Standard Contracts. These contract terms expires on 31st March 2023.

NHS NW London ICB is of the view that the PCNs, via a lead practice or where they are a legal entity, in the 8 boroughs of North West London are the only providers capable of delivering these services because the member practices have access to the registered list of patients. This enables them to proactively identify patients and have access to the entire patient medical record. This enables continuity of care and provision of services at a location closer to the patient’s home.

The purpose of this notice is to set out NHS NW London ICB’s intentions to initiate new PCN level contracts (NHS Standard Contract) for a period of three (3) years with the option to extend by a further two (2) year period, until 31st March 2028 (estimated value £68,300,000 per annum).

The ICB is committed to assessing the needs of the service users and considering how it should meet those needs, and improving the quality, efficiency and integration of services.

procurementMethodRationale: The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) became a legal entity on 1st July 2022, replacing the previous Hertfordshire and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups. The organisation is in its early stages and is forming its commissioning and procurement strategies. It is the intention of the HWE ICB to undertake a full commissioning review of its hospice services across the area. To procure services at this stage would risk destabilisation and misalignment to the wider strategy. This short-term extension will allow the HWE ICB time to ensure that a robust strategic review is undertaken which will inform the longer-term decision on how these services will be delivered in future for the benefit of our patients, and avoid unnecessary costs.

description:
The current Park and Ride contract is let in partnership between Leicestershire County and Leicester City Council ('the Councils’) and is due to expire in 2024.  Leicestershire County Council is the lead authority for the bus operation and the City Council for the associated site infrastructure. The Councils would like to consult the market in its preparation of how to deliver the bus operation of the Park and Ride service beyond 2024.
The Councils would like to maintain the current electric operation serving the three existing Park and Rides sites at Enderby, Birstall and Meynell’s Gorse with a frequent service to the City Centre operating up to 6 days a week, with additional Sunday operation at Christmas.  It is the intention that the service is operated on a minimum cost basis with all revenue reverting to the Councils.
Given the current financial challenges facing both the authorities and the industry we are keen to hear from interested parties how to deliver the service through more cost-effective methods. This will enable the Councils to examine the key issues to help inform the decision-making process prior to any possible future procurement.

Following Worcester’s successful award of grant funding from the Towns Fund, Worcester City Council is seeking to develop a bike share scheme to support access to bicycles across the City, including city centre, leisure, employment and education destinations and residential areas for residents and visitors within Worcester.
This bike share scheme (electric and pedal) will open up cycling to more residents and visitors. By providing a bike share scheme this project will encourage the take up of cycling. It will reduce financial barriers to access and enable users to try out solutions such as e bikes without the up-front financial commitment.
Worcester is a cathedral city located on the picturesque River Severn with a high-quality historic town centre and a population over 100,000. The Council has an ambition to increase the number of people using active modes which may include people visiting for leisure and tourism as well as residents in more deprived areas of Worcester. These aims sit alongside a broader aim to create “‘levelling up” opportunities for our communities and contributing positively towards a sustainable environment that will provide positive health and wellbeing outcomes for our residents.
As the project delivery team for the bike share scheme develops their ideas, it is recognised that there is a mixed picture of success with similar schemes around the UK. This ‘soft market testing’ exercise is being undertaken to ensure that operators, recognised to be experts on the delivery and sustainability of bike share schemes, are able to contribute their expertise to help shape the design of the scheme. The project delivery team values your input into the detailed design of the scheme, what you think will work and what we could do to ensure long term sustainability. Additional information: The Council are using the e-procurement portal known as the Proactis Pro-Contract portal https://procontract.due-north.com to conduct this procurement exercise.
To gain access to the procurement documents, contractors will need to register their company details at the above website (there is no charge for this). Once registered, contractors will be emailed a log-in and password which will allow them to gain access to the procurement documents. Contractors will need to search for the invitation under Worcester City Council and then electronically submit an expression of interest and follow the online instructions to view the procurement documents.

Following Worcester’s successful award of grant funding from the Towns Fund, Worcester City Council is seeking to develop a bike share scheme to support access to bicycles across the City, including city centre, leisure, employment and education destinations and residential areas for residents and visitors within Worcester.
To support this, the Council is issuing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request For Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence and information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed provision and to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity.
The PIN invites Economic Operators to express an interest in this RFI exercise only. The RFI is not an invitation to tender, pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process. No preferential or special status will be gained by Economic Operators who express an interest in this RFI, complete the RFI or express an interest in taking part in further soft market engagement.
