description:
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning (referred to as the Commissioner), is undertaking a market engagement exercise to understand the current and future capacity and capability of the potential providers within this specialised area. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest and participate in the market questionnaire which will provide feedback to commissioners. Please note that this is not a call for competition although the commissioner would encourage all potential providers to respond to this market engagement exercise.
NHS England would like to identify suitably qualified and experienced providers who are interested in being part of an integrated single fertility preservation service for people at high risk/very high risk of infertility and endocrine failure.
A previous market engagement exercise was undertaken in February 2023 as part of the work to support the case for the service to attain NHSE commissioning which was confirmed in August 2023.
The key objective of this Market Engagement process is to update the market with detail about the finalised proposed model for delivery and the requirements of the service specifications. This will enable commissioners to assess providers’ interest, capability and capacity to provide this Service(s) to serve the population of England. The population covered by the service specifications include people who meet the eligibility criteria, supported by evidence. Given the specialised nature of this service, referrals from the devolved nations and further afield may also be received and accepted subject to appropriate commissioning arrangements and approvals.
The service will be delivered through an integrated hub and spoke model to support integrated service delivery. The Hub will be located in a hospital based clinical service and will provide the leadership, advice and co-ordination/monitoring for the overall fertility preservation programme. This model centralises the specialist fertility expertise in the Hub whilst enabling, ovarian and testicular tissue collection to take place in the service user’s surgical treatment centre (Spokes). The Hub and Spokes will work with a tissue establishment that can cryopreserve ovarian and testicular tissue with pathways into services that can provide fertility and endocrine restoration using cryopreserved ovarian tissue (but not for testicular tissue at this stage as this treatment is not yet clinically available).
It is anticipated that this service will be commissioned under 6 Lots as detailed below. The Hub(s)/TE(s) sites will work with a network of spoke sites. It is anticipated that direct awards will be made to the Spoke sites as part of NHSE existing arrangements with children and young adult cancer PTCs/BMT centres and are thus not identified as a separate Lot. Providers can express interest in one, multiple or all Lots, depending on their capability and capacity: The Fertility Service is a National Service and Providers who express interest in individual lots must demonstrate how they will work with other Providers to ensure equity of access and quality of service across England.
•	Lot 1 – Hub covering North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber and the Midlands NHS Regions
•	Lot 2 – Hub covering East of England, London, South East and South West NHS Regions
•	Lot 3 – Tissue Establishment covering North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber Regions and the Midlands NHS Regions
•	Lot 4 Tissue Establishment covering East of England, London, South East and South West Regions
•	Lot 5 – Fertility and Endocrine Restoration Services covering North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humber and Midlands NHS Regions
•	Lot 6 Fertility and Endocrine Restoration Services covering East of England, London, South East and South West NHS Regions

title: The Provision of an Adventure Activity Licensing Authority

acceleratedRationale: Tender documents available via electronic means

description:
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the independent regulator of health and safety and is sponsored by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). HSE is designated as the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) in GB.
The Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) is administered by HSE's Local Authority and Safety Unit (LASU).  LASU sits within HSE's Operational Strategy Branch.  LASU's Entertainment Leisure, Commercial and Consumer Services Sector team provides the policy lead on health and safety within the adventure activity sector, regardless of whether HSE or the Local Authority is the enforcing authority.
The AALA was created following the Lyme Bay canoeing tragedy in March 1993. The MP for Plymouth Devonport, who represented the parents of those who died, introduced a Private Member's Bill, which became the Activity Centres (Young Persons' Safety) Act 1995. Tourism Quality Services (TQS) was the original AALA, until responsibility was transferred to HSE in 2007 however HSE contracted TQS to continue to operate the service on its behalf. From then TQS were formally known as the Adventure Activities Licensing Service (AALS).
The Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations, created under the 1995 Act, apply to four groups of outdoor activities only: caving, climbing, trekking and water sports. These are defined in the Regulations.
The Contractor, on behalf of the AALA, is under contract to inspect providers of licensable activities and make a judgement on their suitability to hold a license, in accordance with the legislation. The Contractor will adhere to the requirements of Regulation 6 (a) of the Regulations and only award licenses to applicants who meet the necessary criteria.

The Home Office is hosting an in-person Supplier Networking Event on Friday 9 February 2024. The event will be held at 2 Marsham St, London, SW1P 4DF between 13:00-17:00.
The Authority’s high level business outcomes and requirements are summarised below:
•	Provide service and maintenance to the current deployed live RN detection capability at ports and airports, around the UK and one site in northern France, including all associated IT infrastructure, both cloud-based and physical.
•	Work with other key suppliers and subject matter experts including the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in the testing, calibration and integration of new and existing components within the solution and any changes discovered through the continuous improvement process.
•	The complex nature of the solution means that there will be a number of stakeholders in addition to the Home Office that the supplier would be expected to work with in the execution of the Cyclamen Service.  The new supplier may also be required to procure hardware and associated software on behalf of the authority.
•	A current test facility exists used by the incumbent supplier, Home Office and other key stakeholders and is employed for the purpose of testing, integration and storage. Work is ongoing to look at the arrangements and processes for running the site but there will be a need for the supplier to use the dedicated facility for testing purposes.
Please note this is not a Call for Competition but ongoing Early Market Engagement. Additional information: To take part please register on Home Office eSourcing portal — https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html and look for: "PQQ_345 01 - Future Cyclamen: Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for Early Market Engagement".

title: Cyclamen Service Re-Procurement: Supplier Networking Event

description:
The Home Office is continuing its early market engagement ahead of a formal procurement to put in place a new, successor contract to support and enhance its Cyclamen capability. Alongside this PIN, the Home Office is publishing new documents on the Jaggaer portal including a Draft Statement Of Requirements and Draft Transition Approach.
As part of early market engagement, Home Office is hosting an in-person Supplier Networking Event on Friday 9 February 2024. The event will be held at 2 Marsham St, London, SW1P 4DF between 13:00-17:00.
Interested potential suppliers should visit the Home Office's eSourcing portal (Jaggaer) and look for: "PQQ_345 01 - Future Cyclamen: Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for Early Market Engagement".
You should complete and submit the NDA following which we will invite your organisation to the Jaggaer site that contains our Early Market Engagement documentation with more details about the Authority's requirements and how to participate.
Please note if your organisation previously completed an NDA, you should already have access to site: PQQ_347 02 - Future Cyclamen: Early Market Engagement. There is no requirement for you to complete a new NDA at this stage.
Background to this Future Opportunity
The future contract will be for service and maintenance of Fixed and Non-Fixed Radiological and Nuclear (RN) Detection equipment in support of Cyclamen, including the IT platform and infrastructure. It may also include some provision to enable potential supply of hardware and associated software.
Cyclamen is the UK’s RN border detection system, a critical capability in the armoury protecting the UK border, and is an important feature of CONTEST, the Government’s counter terrorism strategy. It is a joint Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT) and Border Force initiative: OSCT (part of Homeland Security Group) owns the policy and risk, whilst Border Force operates the capability. Homeland Security Group (HSG) and Border Force (BF) are divisions of the Authority.
Please note this is not a call for competition but ongoing early market engagement.

description: An overview of the NWRR Project and the Outline Business Case including a copy of the General Arrangement Drawing (Appendix A) may be found on the Council's website. The Council is currently proposing to use the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to award the contract for the NWRR Project. It is envisaged that the contract notice to commence the formal procurement will be issued at the end of January 2024 although this may be subject to change. The anticipated form of contract is the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (“ECC ”) with Main Option C, Secondary Option Clauses and amendments by way of Z clauses. The Council is inviting potential lead contractors experienced in leading and delivering similar major capital highways projects of similar size (at least £50 million in value) to contact the Council for a short individual meeting in advance of the formal procurement process. These meetings are intended to help the Council understand the following with regard to a major capital highways project of this nature: (a) the market’s expectations in respect of risk allocation (e.g. in terms of costs, delays and liabilities); (b) the market’s current approach to pricing; (c) the market’s potential to achieve tangible social value benefits; and (d) any other risks or issues that could affect the successful delivery of the NWRR Project that might need to be taken into account when preparing the procurement. Potential lead contractors interested in attending a meeting with the Council are requested to contact the Council at the e-mail address in section I.1 above by no later than 3pm on 12 January 2024. Subject to capacity constraints, the Council plans to hold individual meetings (each of up to an hour long) with potential lead contractors who respond within the above specified timescale on 17 and 18 January 2024. Such meetings will be held on an individual basis via Microsoft Teams. Any information provided by potential lead contractors in response to this market engagement exercise and highlighted as commercially sensitive will be treated as such and not disclosed to any third parties without the express written permission of the potential lead contractor concerned. Non-participation in this market engagement process does not preclude any potential lead contractors from participating in the formal procurement process. The Council is running this market engagement exercise in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and will take steps to ensure that any potential lead contractor who participates in the market engagement exercise is not put at an unfair advantage and that competition in relation to the award of the eventual public contract for the NWRR Project is not otherwise distorted. Any additional information about the NWRR Project provided by the Council during the course of the individual sessions will be collated by the Council and distributed to all potential lead contractors who participate in this market engagement exercise. Such information will also be shared as part of the procurement documentation published in the ensuing formal procurement procedure. Note, the NWRR project is subject to funding and approval by the Council.

description: DHCW is seeking to extend the contract for a further thirty-six (36) months, beyond the current contract term (as modified). A contract extension is required to ensure continuity of service to support the auditing of digital solutions across Wales to ensure appropriate and proactive monitoring of the data contained in the Single Patient Record across the NHS in Wales.

description: Hardware

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: By way of explanation, the NIIAS is hosted centrally to support the auditing of digital solutions across Wales to ensure appropriate and proactive monitoring of the data contained in the Single Patient Record across NHS Wales. It is a bespoke solution fully embedded in national systems across the NHS in Wales and was specially developed for NHS Wales.  It cannot be used by an alternative economic operator due to the limited licence in the current agreement.  The intellectual property rights vest in the current provider and are licensed to DHCW on a non-exclusive and non-transferrable basis solely for the duration of the contract. The services can only be supplied by the current provider due to the protection of exclusive intellectual property rights which exist in the solution and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.

description:
Extension of contract term for a further thirty-six (36) months from 24th November 2023 to 23rd November 2026 on the same terms as the original contract.
Insubstantial modification and/or award of a contract by negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis that the services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive intellectual property rights which exist in the current NIIAS and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.

description:
The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.  Extension of the current contract by way of modification and/or direct award, is the only viable option to ensure continuity of service.
The contract was extended by twenty-four (24) months prior to expiry on 23rd November 2021 as a result of (i) the Covid-19 global pandemic and (ii) the exit of Blaenavon Data Centre impacting on resources to ensure continuity of NIIAS as a critical component of NHS Wales' national healthcare information systems.  That initial extension period has proved insufficient to undertake a market assessment for a replacement solution, review the purpose and functionality of the NIIAS on an All Wales basis and carry out a re-tender exercise.  This further extension of thirty-six (36) months is considered to be the minimum period required to undertake these exercises.  Service continuity is imperative to ensure the safety of patient care and services across the NHS in Wales.  As the NIIAS is a bespoke solution, embedded within NHS organisations across Wales and the intellectual property rights are reserved to the provider and used only on licence during the term of the agreement, the contracting authority is entitled to make this award under Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) and/or modify the contract under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as an extension of the term alone is insubstantial.  The modification does not:
- render the contract materially different in character;
- introduce conditions which would have allowed for the admission of other candidates, attracted other participants or resulted in a different outcome;
- changes the economic balance of the contract in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the initial contract;
- extend the scope of the contract significantly; or
- change the contractor.”
Continuation of the solution is required to comply with data protection obligations.  Given the sensitivities of the global digital environment, it is essential that the service continues without interruption to ensure the safety of patient care and services.  The modification/contract duration is limited to 3 years to :
- enable DHCW to develop a long-term strategy for auditing clinical systems in line with emerging government policy;
- undertake a market engagement exercise to understand the solutions available; and
- use that knowledge to develop a business case to secure central funding from the Welsh Government for a replacement long-term solution.
This will be underpinned by a thorough technical review of available solutions and a consultation period with NHS Wales to understand local and national requirements for a longer-term contract.  Finally, the duration allows sufficient time to run a procurement process and exit from the existing solution which is interfaced in a significant number of national clinical systems and to manage a transfer to a replacement solution.
Accordingly, the contracting authority is entitled to modify the contract under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or make this award under Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii). This notice is a ‘relevant contract award notice’ for the purposes of Regulation 93(3) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the contracting authority relies on the provisions in Regulation 93(2), (3) and (4) in relation to the applicable limitation period.
