Our objective is to introduce a new CRM product that optimises outcomes for GC Business Growth Hub (data, service delivery, social and economic impact etc.).
GC Business Growth Hubs IT infrastructure is dominated by Microsoft's architecture and Dynamics has been selected as the preferred product of choice. Some pre staged project work has already begun to define specific requirements internally. High level and mid-level requirements to support the procurement process have been defined and are attached as an additional schedule to this tender.
We are looking for a partner to support us with procurement, installation, configuration, and knowledge transfer leveraging the suppliers knowledge and experience of the platform, plus any pre-developed packages and additional configuration, to support our business needs.
Additionally, we need our selected partner to support us with moving our ways of working forwards to streamline our processes and specifications that currently underutilise the capability of the platform, we would welcome creativity and guidance to maximise the benefit for both colleagues and staff.
The successful partner will be able to utilise the full range of MS Dynamics modules (off the shelf and / or with pre-configured packages) and have the ability to customise the platform to meet all of our requirements, as well as identifying and suggesting better ways of achieving the same outcome, if the opportunity presents itself.
We are especially interested in being able to use the system to gain insight and analyse data (internal and external) to become more data driven as an organisation in a way that supports quick decision making and long-term strategy. The wider organisation at a corporate level is keen to move to a model of data warehousing and a set up that allows unique reference numbers and integration / comparison of data sources to provide a single customer view (at individual and business level).

description:
A systematised approach using flat panel units for basic floor, wall and roof structures of varying materials which are produced in a factory environment and assembled at the final workface to produce a final three-dimensional structure. The most common approach is to use open panels or frames, which consist of a skeletal structure only, with services, insulation, external cladding and internal finishing being installed on site.
‘More complex panels – typically referred to as closed panels – involve more factory-based fabrication and include lining materials and insulation. These may also include services, windows, doors, internal wall finishes and external claddings. The system includes structural performance for primary walls and all floors (note – this excludes unitised or composite external walling systems that are not load bearing included in Category 5).

title: Lot 3 MMC Cat 5 Pre-manufacturing (non structural assemblies and sub-assemblies)

description:
A series of different pre-manufacturing approaches that includes unitised non-structural walling systems, roofing finish cassettes or assemblies (where not part of a wider structural building system), non-load bearing mini-volumetric units (sometimes referred to as ‘pods’) used for the highly serviced and more repeatable areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, utility cupboards, risers, plant rooms as well as pre-formed wiring looms, mechanical engineering composites would fall into this category.
‘Conventional masonry site constructed schemes utilising conventional building products such as windows and or door-sets – which might otherwise be part of the fabrication process in the other pre-manufacturing categories – should not be included as sub-assemblies or components in this category unless there is a further level of consolidation from traditional configurations.

Great Places Housing Group is publishing this notice on behalf of The Offsite Homes Alliance (OSHA) which consists of 23 Registered Providers, largely based in the North of England. The alliance partners’ strategy is to deliver circa 10,000+ high quality homes per annum from 2023 onwards across the North, with a focus on as many Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)/off-site technologies it can within reason, to support the ambition.
OSHA partners wish to conduct soft market testing (SMT) with MMC suppliers offering categories 1,2,and 5 solutions as defined in the MMC Definition Framework and as set out in the proposed lots above. The purpose of this SMT is to evaluate the current OSHA designs and zero carbon roadmap. This is to ensure that the OSHA members and the MMC supply chain are in agreement with the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) strategy, before OSHA considers moving forward to procurement.
As part of the SMT, OSHA has designed a short questionnaire that is available to download from https://www.offsiteha.org/supply-chain-engagement/ . OSHA partners would be grateful for potential suppliers’ time in completing this questionnaire as the responses will be helpful in formulating OSHA’s procurement, design and contracting strategy. OSHA and Great Places may request that potential suppliers discuss their responses through clarification meetings as part of the SMT process.
Great Places and OSHA are ensuring that this SMT process is run in a fair and transparent manner. Any relevant information made available in this process will also be made available during any later procurement process. Potential suppliers should note that this notice does not commit Great Places or OSHA to proceeding to procurement at the time indicated or at all. If there are any queries about the process, please contact robert.ireland@greatplaces.org.uk.

NHS Blood & Transplant (NHSBT) Histocompatibility & Immunogenetics function intends to undertake a procurement tender exercise for the supply of HLA sequencing systems.

Histocompatibility & Immunogenetics (H&I) is a strategic business function of NHSBT, providing testing and support in transplantation, specialised transfusion including the supply of selected blood products, immunogenetics, platelet and granulocyte immunology.
Services are supplied through a national network of six laboratories across England. Building on our strengths as a national provider, NHSBT’s strategic aim is for its diagnostic services to become the preferred provider and supplier of choice for these services in the NHS in England. We would like to work with potential suppliers to realise this ambition and to perform HLA typing in an efficient, timely and cost-effective manner to meet the demands and expectations of our customers and the patients we serve.

Prior to commencing a formal procurement process and to help inform our strategy, NHSBT is seeking to engage with suppliers of commercially available HLA sequencing systems. The current contract ends in July 2024 and NHSBT would like to improve our knowledge of all current and future systems available in the marketplace. This will aid identification of opportunities and gauge market interest in this field.

It is envisioned we will run this tender as 2 Lots, Lot 1 will be equipment & equipment consumables and Lot 2 will be HLA typing kits, consumables, and analysis software.

We require HLA typing systems to cover the following:

•	Allelic Test Kits SHOULD detect and uniquely identify all alleles of the HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DRB3/4/5, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1 and DPB1 loci at the level of resolution that additionally defines the third field according to WHO nomenclature by at least resolving all ambiguities resulting from: (1) polymorphisms located within the exons coding for HLA class I and class II proteins and (2) that encompass a null allele wherever the polymorphism is located.
•	The optimal solution SHOULD define fourth field level resolution
•	The HLA typing result SHOULD be completed not more than 72 hours from the start of the process.

It is NHSBT's intention to hold pre-procurement supplier engagement meetings the week of 30th January to 3rd February 2023. The meetings will be held remotely, the dates are to be confirmed. To enable NHSBT to finalise arrangements (e.g. send meeting details and agree time slots) for the meetings, interested organisations are required to send an expression of interest via email to coco.otiotio@nhsbt.nhs.uk by no later than 17:00 hrs (GMT) on 18/01/2023. This should include a list of your potential attendees and a brief overview (or a website link) of the Goods / Services which might be offered. Please include options, if available, for a managed service contract.

No business whatsoever is guaranteed under any resulting framework agreement or contract, and there is no guarantee that any framework agreement or contract will be put in place in relation to this notice. No compensation etc. will be paid if a tender or resulting framework agreement is withdrawn for any reason. Bidders should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position.

It should be noted that this procurement exercise may allow other Health authorities to utilise any agreements awarded.

The procurement process will consist of two stages:  Stage 1: The aim of this shortlisting stage is predominantly to test the capability and capacity of potential Providers and to identify whether there is more than one capable provider; (2) Stage 2 will either be: (a) a competitive process (if more than one capable provider is identified at Stage 1), which may involve dialogue and will involve assessment of bids against published evaluation criteria and weightings; or (b) a collaborative "Assurance Process" with a single provider,  if only one capable provider is identified at Stage 1. Both approaches will involve evidence being considered by subject matter experts and assessed against critical success factors and expected minimum standards.
The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
The process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services.
Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, nor the use of any language or terms found in the Directive or Regulations, nor the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority ("Open", "Restricted", "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation", "Competitive Dialogue" or any other description), nor any other indication, shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Directive or Regulations, save by the provisions applicable to services coming within the scope of Annex XIV of the Directive / Schedule 3 of the Regulations.
The Contracting Authority will observe voluntary award decision notices provisions and may observe a 10-day standstill period described in Regulation 86 of the Regulations. Bidders who are unsuccessful will receive scores and reasons for the decision, including the reasons why the Bidder/application was unsuccessful (Stage 1) and the characteristics and relative advantages of the winning bid if there is a competitive tender at Stage 2.

description: The ambition underlying the retrofit One Stop Shop (OSS) is to help all households in the North of Tyne progress with domestic energy retrofit by offering a trusted end-to-end solution that supports and facilitates sustained action that is accessible to all residents.  The primary functions of the OSS are to help residents reduce their energy bills and emissions, while creating understanding of the benefits therefore increasing longer term demand for domestic retrofit upgrades across the region.

The bidder confirms they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the contract, the levels of insurance cover indicated below:
Professional Risk Indemnity: GBP5,000,000
Employer's (Compulsory) Liability: GBP5,000,000

With regards SPD question 4B.6 SPT will use Dun and Bradstreet's DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of bidders. Bidders with a Failure Score of 51 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the Qualification Envelope, the value of their D&B Failure Score.
In the event that the bidder does not have a Dun and Bradstreet rating or they consider that the rating has been adversely affected by factors which they can offer mitigating evidence for, we will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidder’s financial status. Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the Qualification Envelope, the name and value of the 3 financial ratios listed below as taken from their own Accounts.
1 Profitability – this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio;
2 Liquidity – this value is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to one then it is a pass for this ratio;
3 Gearing – this value is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio.
Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, we may then take account of other factors (including those listed below) when assessing financial viability and the risk to the organisation, providing that the Bidder can submit acceptable evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria.

description:
NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB are inviting suitably qualified providers to  deliver Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services for the population of NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
With the exit of our local NHS provider from the provision of IAPT services, commissioners will be looking for a single solution for the future provision across the newly formed ICB patch for a period of 5 years. That single solution may be a single provider option, a lead provider or a collaboration which needs to deliver services in line with National guidance as the IAPT programme remains high on the political agenda with ICBs being performance managed on access and recovery targets at regional and national level.
Aims of the service
•	To ensure a local focus, as well as meeting the needs of the local population including ethnic minority communities, older adults, and students.
•	Services will be easy to access with few points of escalation
•	Focus on prevention and early identification, targeting interventions at risk groups.
•	To integrate psychological therapies into physical health and long-term condition pathways.
•	To provide a perinatal pathway for patients under the care of midwives and health visitors
•	Services will be personalised and outcome focussed recognising the service users own strengths, needs, life experiences, beliefs, aspirations and support networks.
•	Patients will be supported back to self-management and independence, wherever possible.
•	The service will actively integrate with partners at system, place and neighbourhood level, delivering care in a range of settings and modes including Locality Hubs, GP Practices, health centres, community venues and the patient’s own home, both face to face and via online mechanisms and telephone. Care location and mode will be based on the needs of the patient and available service offer.
•	To make best use of available technology and digital options for service promotion, referral pathways and delivery of interventions.

title: The Provision of a National Coordinating Body to Support Transport Electrification Skills

description:
Rationale for the intervention
Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, seeks to fund an independent national body to administer and govern the vision for a NESFF as set out in the report.  To date the NESFF has been led by WMG. Now we are seeking to fund dedicated resource to support the continued development and, most importantly, the implementation of NESFF. This intervention is needed to ensure that sufficient resource is allocated to enable the UK to continue to develop and deliver the vision of NESFF. The reason for this intervention is to therefore provide the dedicated, independent resource to deliver the vision for NESFF, which would not be possible otherwise as there is currently no solely dedicated resource to lead this activity.
The role of this funded body will be to ensure that the main stakeholders are brought together to support the most pressing electrification skills needs. Battery and power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD) manufacturing must be included in this initially funded period (other electrification technology areas may form part of the work but battery and PEMD manufacturing must be addressed). The independent national body will ensure that main stakeholders are engaged through the forum aspect. The framework aspect will involve continual horizon scanning and stakeholder engagement to identify areas of priority across all relevant technologies and sectors (manufacturing of batteries, power electronics, machines and drives for transport applications must be included) and develop the workforce development framework to enable these technologies to be delivered.
The independent national body (the “INB”) will champion the need for electrification workforce development programmes across all skills level. The current training provision at all levels and career stages is insufficient to support incumbent electrification technologies. In line with this the INB will also champion the need to expand the talent pool and encourage greater inclusion and diversity to enable the UK to resource its net zero ambitions.
Aim of the initiative
Innovate UK seeks to fund a single organisation or consortium of organisations to lead the administrative, management and governance function of the National Electrification Skills Framework and Forum (National-Electrification-Skills-Forum-Brochure-FINAL.pdf (catapult.org.uk)) and effectively own what is currently the “NESFF” initiative.
The vision for the National Electrification Skills Framework and Forum is to enable the transition to electrification through a coordinated approach to workforce development.
The aim of this intervention is to create an independent body that can lead the NESFF initiative and facilitate a coordinated approach to workforce development.
Objectives of the independent national body
The INB will deliver against the national framework, with the following objectives:
1.	National Electrification Skills Framework and Forum is a long-term functioning and operational body
2.	NESFF is recognised as the leader of the national electrification skills agenda
3.	Stakeholders are united behind the common NESFF vision
4.	The common NESFF vision is implemented
