NG ET seeks to harness the benefits of current generation technology by procuring a modern, cloud based, integration platform that will support the Business' aspirations:
To significantly reduce the time taken to build new integration and accelerate the realization of business value
To reduce the reliance on a team of integration specialists and move towards a 'self-service integration' model.
The selected platform will be installed in the National Grid private cloud.
Standing up the new platform is the first phase of a longer program to transform and consolidate the integration landscape.
The selected platform will:
- deliver a comprehensive suite of integration capabilities to support a wide range of business use cases
- become the landing zone for some 265 interfaces that need to be migrated in the next phase from the current OFM and MuleSoft solutions that currently make up the ET integration landscape.

National Grid Electricity Transmission (NG ET) owns and maintains the high voltage electricity network in England and Wales comprising 4,500 miles of overhead line, 900 miles of underground cable and more than 300 substations.
Our cables and substations are at the centre of the energy system. Every time a phone is plugged in, or switch is turned on, we've played a part, connecting homes and business to the electricity they need. It's a crucial role and pivotal in turning the UK's net zero ambitions into reality.
NG ET aims to become an intelligently connected utility, with the ability to respond quickly to market opportunities and changes impacting the business. The enterprise integration platform is the nerve centre that connects internal business systems together and enables secure business flows and process automation between NG ET and other National Grid entities as well as between NG ET and various eco-system partners. The current suite of integration products and their operating model limit the Business' aspirations to be modern and agile. Building new integrations relies on a central pool of specialised resources and constrains the speed at which integration projects can be delivered.

ABUHB are seeking to commission a transformational new local community based bespoke, flexible service for patients returning from low secure hospital placements and locked rehabilitation facilities. ABUHB are seeking to commission a provider to work in conjunction with local statutory services to support individuals to step down from out of area and/or secure hospital placements into their own tenancies initially receiving high intensity community support.
The commissioned provider would co-ordinate the acquisition of self-contained tenancies (providing a real home for people) in individual properties for a small group of individual clients at any one time. It will then provide a bespoke package of care for each individual which could involve up to 24/7 support, with a stepping down of intervention as the person settles back into their community.
ABUHB are running a two year pilot (with the option to extend for a further two years) using the principles of an evidenced based intervention called Structured Clinical Management to work with people with complex mental health needs (who are likely to have received or to be eligible for a diagnosis of personality disorder).  As part of this work, the project aims to repatriate 7 people with complex personality disorders for Low Secure mental health services into their own accommodation in the community with intensive support.

Prior Information Notice (PIN) of the Department's intention to procure a contract for Business Services Support (BSS) for the Army Apprenticeship Programme (AAP).
The Army Apprenticeship Programme (AAP) currently offers English Apprenticeships at Levels 2, 3, 4 and 6 with around 15,000 Apprentices on programme at any one time, primarily in UK locations but also overseas.
The AAP is predominately an Employer Provider using mixed delivery with subcontracted RoATP listed Service Providers (SP) covering some elements of Training and the majority of learner administration of the programme. The AAP is delivered in 13 separately governed and managed cap badge ( eg Infantry ) apprenticeship sub-programmes.
To support this mixed delivery model the AAP subcontracts Business Services Support to administration, delivery and quality assurance of apprenticeships against ESFA regulations.

*Update* Further to notice reference 2023/S 000-022442 please find below  additional information.
Following enquiries from interested parties:
The Authority assesses the eligibility of each bidding entity on their own merits.  This will include considering the legal and business implications of any known, relevant, associations that exist with the Army Apprenticeships Programme.
Bidders against this future opportunity will be subjected to an assessment of Economic and Financial Standing.  Details will be provided within the Invitation To Tender (ITT), and these will be in line with published Policy, Rules & Guidance.
Regarding protections against distortion of competition, and the statement that “… the contract cannot be held by any supplier in conjunction with any other subcontracted AAP requirements”, this applies specifically to the legal entity (i.e. registered Company or equivalent VCSE).  This does not automatically apply to associated entities (e.g.  Other Companies within the same Group; members of Commercial Vehicles such as Consortia, Joint Ventures; etc.).  We would however, expect such a bidder to provide a full explanation of (and assurance mechanism for) measures to prevent such distortions.

The proposed new next generation data system and associated web, App and API services will continue to deliver vital national travel data information service and will aim to enhance current provision, supplementing with further travel data information to support people to feel more informed with regards to their travel plans and more confident in their public transport journey. It will include more information regarding accessibility, active travel and alternative travel modes, such as Demand Responsive Transport, as well as carbon footprint information, which support achieving Scottish Government climate objectives.
This approach aims to build on a number of opportunities that have been identified to enhance the experience of the travelling public regarding the following:-
- Making it easy to plan my journey - Allow customers to plan all legs of their journey, including the return journey (and first / last mile where possible), in a simple and fast manner.
- Making it easy to understand my journey - Empower customers and ensure they feel informed about the entire journey, not just about the beginning and the end.
- Making it easy to tailor my journey - Support the travelling public to ensure they have a certain degree of personalisation when planning a trip e.g. each journey should fit around their needs.
- Trusting journey information - Data accuracy is paramount to continue building trust and should be improved where possible to enhance the experience of the traveling public.
- Making it easy to be kept informed - Provide real-time travel and disruption updates not just before, but during a journey, to ensure passengers continue to travel with minimal fuss.
- Feeling supported - Provide the traveling public with the right level of support to meet their traveling needs.
In order to address the above, the primary objectives of this project will therefore be to:-
- Deliver a transport data management services platform that will enable transport data to be collected, cleansed, checked, aggregated, reported and be made available as open data in static and live formats, in an automated fashion where possible, to a wide range of journey planning, incident / disruption, fare and live data services.
- Ensure the centrally managed data management platform is updated (where required) by data owners. This will include: Local Authorities, Regional Transport Partnerships, operators of traditional and non-traditional modes of transport and other associated transport agencies or providers. It is also expected that the system will ingest and export data using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) from a range of data sources.
- Enhance the journey planning system in a way that will help better inform customers when planning a journey, including individuals that have a physical disability, hidden disability, sensory impairment or cognitive impairment.
- Improve fare aggregation to help customers not only cost a journey, based on their requirements e.g. shortest distance, cheapest ticket etc. but also available options to purchase tickets for any leg of a journey where retail is available. It is proposed that a payment could then be made by either handing off to the operators website, or possibly completing the transaction within a third party website portal.
- Enhance disruption management information and services currently available in order to minimise the impact of travel disruption. This will help better inform customers to re-plan their journey using available travel options.
- Deliver new and improved Website and App (IOS/Android) services to ensure customers can interact in a simple but effective manner via digital platforms when planning a journey, while considering the accessibility requirements of individuals that have a disability.

description:
As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful
Bidders for a period of 8 years with the Commissioner having the option to extend the
Contract for up to a further 18 months. It is anticipated that the contract start date will be
16th December 2023 which is 90 days following the expected final NICE guidance; however,
this may be subject to change.

description:
The key objectives of the Procurement are to commission Haemophilia ATMP treatment
hubs for patients with haemophilia types A and B to serve the population of England, and to
ensure that:
• the providers of Haemophilia ATMP treatment hubs have the correct qualifications and
governance arrangements in place to provide these treatments for the NHS in England, and
• the Commissioner is offering services that are safe and of a high standard whilst fulfilling
the Commissioner’s public duty to provide services that are cost-effective.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) will be assessing a number of
ATMPs for haemophilia A and B (see Appendix A). To meet the requirements of the expected
NICE guidance, NHS England is commissioning Haemophilia ATMP treatment hubs for
patients with haemophilia types A and B. NHS England is seeking to commission eight of the
18 adult Comprehensive Care Centres (CCCs) in England to become ‘haemophilia ATMP
treatment hubs’. These hubs will deliver the haemophilia gene therapy ATMPs approved by
NICE with a contract duration of 8 years with the option to extend for up to a further 18
months.
For this ITT, we are only commissioning the Haemophilia ATMP treatment hubs. Separately,
NHS England will work with the UKHCDO to develop a thorough care pathway detailing the
responsibilities of both the hubs and spokes as well as referral and monitoring guidelines to
manage the care of haemophilia patients undergoing ATMP treatment.
Given the significant amount of preparatory work that needs to be undertaken to deliver a
gene therapy service, it is not feasible for commissioners and providers to wait until NICE has
made its recommendations to commence commissioning activity.
Providers are therefore submitting bids to deliver a service ‘at risk’: it may be the case that
the product does not receive a positive NICE recommendation.
Providers wishing to be considered for the delivery of these services will need to respond to
the provider selection documentation and submit responses prior to the deadline stated in
this notice.
The ITT documentation including a questionnaire is available through the Atamis (Health
Family) portal: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. The reference is C153405 and
the closing date for completed ITT responses is 12pm, midday on Friday 5th May 2023.
There will also be an opportunity to attend a market engagement event via Microsoft Teams
at 11.30am on Thursday 20th April 2023. If you would like to participate in this event, please
email josselin.canevet@nhs.net by 12pm on Tuesday 18th April 2023. All slides and
questions and responses will be made available to all bidders following the event.

title: Maintenance Services for the Thames Tideway Tunnel

description:
The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a major infrastructure project, urgently needed to protect the tidal River Thames from increasing pollution. London’s sewerage system is no longer fit for purpose and spills tens of millions of tonnes of untreated sewage mixed with rainwater (combined sewage) into the tidal reaches of the River Thames every year.  Bazalgette Tunnel Limited (BTL), is the licensed provider set up to finance, build, maintain and operate the Thames Tideway Tunnel. From Licence Award BTL trades and is known to the public as 'Tideway'.
Following completion of the works on the Thames Tideway Tunnel project Tideway will be responsible for maintaining the majority of project assets during the project's System Acceptance Period which is currently targeted to run from summer 2025.
Tideway is therefore seeking a provider to deliver planned, preventative and reactive maintenance services across the specified surface and near-surface assets at 21 sites in accordance with Tideway’s maintenance plans for the System Acceptance Period and possibly beyond subject to novation.
The assets to be maintained under the Contract are generally categorised as:
-	Near-surface civils elements
-	MEICA elements
-	Building services elements
-	Infrastructure elements
-	Safety restraints
-	Maintenance access hardware
For the avoidance of doubt deep civils (e.g. main tunnel, connection tunnels, and shafts) are out of scope of the Contract.
Following the completion of System Acceptance the assets (with the exception of deep civils) are transferred to Thames Water who take on maintenance responsibilities, therefore the Contract will include provisions for extensions and novation beyond the initial term up to a maximum 10 year term.
Interested parties must register on Tideway's e-sourcing portal and will be able to download the Pre-Qualification Pack ('PQP') including the form of response to be completed and returned to submit a compliant response. The registration process is set out in section VI.3) of this Contract Notice.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service employs approximately 650 people at any given time. The recruitment process is managed through web based portal. Once appointed new staff are on boarded to the Service, then undertake an induction process, and are supported and developed through a probationary period to confirm their suitability for the role.
Subsequent and / or concurrent with this, staff undertake training and development activity, which can include acquisition of formal qualifications. All staff are able to access a range of training and development courses and inputs (delivered via e-learning, virtually or face to face). Training and development activity is planned annually.
Operational staff (firefighters) undertake an initial training period followed by a period of development, either an Apprenticeship or a Development and Assessment Pathway (DAPs). This takes between 18-24 months to complete and involves a number of training elements / learning inputs and work based performance activity (work product evidence). The knowledge, skills and behaviours are assessed to ensure they meet the required standard. Once the programme of learning and performance is complete staff are deemed competent in role, this is linked to pay. This process is subject to internal and external assurance. DAPs will be introduced for all staff. Following initial acquisition, operational staff are also required to maintain their technical knowledge and skill across a range of qualifications / training inputs. These must be refreshed a defined intervals.
All staff participate in an annual Performance Appraisal Process (PDR) which runs between April and June. Staff are asked to seek 360 feedback in advance of their PDR meeting.
These processes utilise, and staff records are held in, a range of paper based files, computer drives and folders, electronic HR Information Systems, and Learning Management Systems. The systems are not integrated. It is time-consuming to collate, analyse and report on data. Both our staff and their line managers have to use multiple systems to undertake, progress and complete learning, development and performance activities therefore the user experience is disjointed rather clear and intuitive.
The Service wishes to implement one system that can effectively manage these integrated learning, training, development and performance functions and processes.
This Prior Information Notice is to inform the market that all RBFRA/RBFRS are planning to undertake a procurement process to implement a solution that will meet the aims of the project as per the Problem Statement attached.
The Authority has also attached a draft specification and feedback questionnaire for you to provide your suggestions and input to help us refine our requirement. Could you please complete the questionnaire and any feedback you have on the specification by 13th September 2023 at 2 pm.
The Authority plans to hold a supplier engagement event to present a more detailed overview of our project aim and objectives and to seek industry expertise and feedback.
The market engagement events are scheduled to take place as half day events on 4th September 2023 with the first slot starting from 10:30 to 13:00 and the second slot from 14:00 to 16:30, 5th September 2023 one slot from 14:00 to 16:30 and 6th September 2023 the first slot starting at 10:30 to 13:00 with second slot from 14:00 to 16:30. The session will involve an initial RBFRS presentation for 30/60 minutes followed by question and answer session for the remainder of the slot time and further timings to follow.
Full details of the event and all associated communications shall be managed using the messaging service on the Bluelight portal and any interested suppliers are encouraged to register on to the Portal to ensure that they are notified of any updates.
