description:
Junior ISAs (JISA’s) and Child Trust Funds (CTF’s) are long term tax-advantaged saving accounts for children up to the age of 18. Children are eligible for a JISA if they are under 18, resident in the UK, and not eligible for a CTF. Anyone can pay money into the accounts, but the funds cannot then be accessed by the account holder until their 18th birthday (or are terminally ill). At 18, the account will mature into a standard (adult) ISA or the funds will be withdrawn. Children looked after for 12 months or more and not eligible for a Child Trust Fund (CTF) are entitled to a £200 payment from the government into a Junior ISA.
The supplier will ensure eligible children receive the payments due to them under the JISA scheme: by acquiring the necessary data from LAs, opening JISAs for those children, making payments into these JISAs, and providing information about the JISAs opened and payments made to LAs, CiC and their carers. The supplier invoices the DfE on a two-weekly basis for the numbers of JISAs opened and submits invoices quarterly to the DfE to cover payments for administration of the scheme. The delivery partner’s role will also involve:
• Fund Management
• Management Reporting and Data Requests
• IT infrastructure
• Delivery of financial education
• Fundraising for additional donations
In addition to the contract, a separate Grant Funding Agreement will be put in place between the Department for Education and the successful delivery partner. This will enable payments of £200 to be made into each new JISA that is opened.

The provider will work in partnership with organisations across the city including Bristol City Council and its Youth and Community officers, the successful Targeted Youth Services providers and other funders in the city to establish a multiagency panel to develop intelligence about the play and youth sectors in the city, particularly gaps and unmet needs.

The anticipated review body in such cases would be:
Dundee Sheriff Court
6 West Bell Street
Dundee
DD1 9AD

Background:
The Home Support Service supports around 3,500 people at any one time and deploys a workforce of over 1,400 Home Support Workers to provide personal and essential care and support to help people live safely in their own home for as long as possible. It is a large and complex service responsible for the safety, health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable in our communities.
At peak times we provide over 6000 visits per day and can have up to 750 Home Support Workers on shift. We manage changes on a daily basis as the support we provide to our service users can change due to hospital admission or outpatient appointments, availability of Home Support Workers due to holidays or other absence and also needs to take account of the increasing number of people whose support requires multiple visits in a day, often involving two or more Home Support Workers to safely assist with transfers and personal care.  Continuity of service and matching the right staff with the right skills to people who require support and at the right time are essential to the quality of care and support.
We are looking to procure a replacement an existing solution called Advanced Kirona Job Manager which is becoming end of life.
Points to conside (system integrations):
Case Management System: The current mySWIS system holds all of our Home Support data and also integrates with a range of other lines of business systems to support the council in completing activities such as billing, overtime payments, budget management, reconciliation. We are currently out tender for a replacement case management system and the new scheduling tool must be capable of integrating with our current case management system and future products.
Digital Transformation: The council is rolling out a range of other technology products that can be used by Home Support to support their business needs. These products include the following:
SharePoint - a corporate EDRMS. Either this or a similar, inbuilt system from a replacement case management system could be used as a means of storing case records and related documents.
Digital Platform - a corporate CRM that is used for managing customer contact and offering residents digital self-service. Again, social care and justice requirements for digital self-service could be met through this, or an add-on to a replacement case management system.
HR System - iTrent - all absence for annual leave, sick or special leave is managed through this system.
PowerBI - a business intelligence tool. Any replacement case management system will be expected to include reporting functionality, but will also be required to allow data to be extracted and imported into PowerBI. Additional information: Deadline to register interest with Heather Mooty is 17:00 24th November 2023.

As part of the preparatory work for a potential future procurement procedure, North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) is looking to engage with the market for a potential replacement to the current home support scheduling tool with an ambition to have a new contract in place and fully mobilised by October 1st 2024.
To enable the Council to plan and prepare for any future procurement procedure, the Council would like to invite interested parties to a 45 minute online meeting on December 1st 2023. Suppliers are invited to present a high-level overview of software scheduling products which meet the requirements as detailed in the schedule of requirements (see attached additional document). Suppliers should detail fully and provide examples of successful use of software in a similar environment. This is to help inform the Council of what commercial off-the shelf software is available and the capabilities of current software.
Suppliers are required to provide a brief overview of what licencing options are available and estimated implementation timeframes.
Suppliers should respond to mootyh@northlan.gov.uk by 17:00 24 November 2023 to express interest in presenting your solution. Invites will then be sent to interested parties via Microsoft Teams.
On review of interest expressions North Lanarkshire Council will issue these invitations and may require additional dates. We may commence further engagement during the meeting around areas of demonstrations, and technical detail.
The council does not commit to issuing any future procurement via Open Procedure and will be considering the use of existing 3rd party framework agreements when procuring. This exercise is to engage the market and understand what solutions are currently available, their capability and capacity to deliver.

This is a procurement to acquire a controlling interest in GCRE Ltd (the "Company"). The Global Centre of Rail Excellence ("GCRE") is a planned railway infrastructure and rolling stock testing, proving, demonstration and storage facility in South Wales, on a site of 700 hectares located within the Powys and Neath Port Talbot local authorities.
For the rail industry and its supply chain, GCRE will provide a single site that brings people and ideas together, enabling world class research, testing and innovation. GCRE will be net zero in operation and will be the first purpose built large scale rail testing facility in the UK.
The capital deployment needed will occur over a period of 3 years with the aim to achieve full commercial operations in FY25/26.
GCRE's core revenues will be derived from the assets delivered by Investment Phases 1 and 2, which are described as follows:
1. Investment Phase 1: ground works, site preparation, outline design and the development of storage facilities.
2. Investment Phase 2: development of the rail infrastructure, including construction of a rolling stock testing track (outer loop with track length of 6.9km), an infrastructure testing track (inner loop with track length of 4km), additional storage and maintenance facilities, and the required building and civil works to make the site fully operational, including:
(a) assuring supply of cost effective, sustainable, and reliable energy to the site to support 24/7 operations; and
(b) working with local stakeholders to get access to relevant utilities and access infrastructure.
The total estimated capital cost to deliver Investment Phases 1 and 2 is c.GBP400m. Investment Phase 1 is already underway using public funding. Investment Phase 2 requires private funding.
There is also an opportunity to commercially exploit and develop the renewable energy opportunities available at the site in line with GCRE’s energy strategy (which opportunity would be beyond the initial c.GBP400m investment).
The initial c.GBP400m investment is proposed to be funded through:
i) Public funding of GBP70m already committed and partially drawn down: Welsh Government equity investment of GBP50m and a GBP20m grant from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
ii) Private funding of c.GBP330m. The strategic investor selected through this procurement process will take majority ownership and control of the Company.
Please note that this is a current estimate and work is underway to determine more precise value of the total capital cost. It should also be noted that site works (including award of the contract for earthworks) and relevant studies have already commenced.
There is also the opportunity to develop, over the course of time, other commercial / revenue opportunities related to land / real estate development on the site.
Potential returns will depend on many commercial factors including (but not limited to) market conditions.
Details about the requirements and the scope can be found in the Selection Questionnaire ("SQ") and the Memorandum of Information ("MOI") with a more detailed description of the Company, its business plan and investment requirements to be provided at the tender stage of the procurement process.
Access to procurement documentation:
The MOI will be provided by GCRE Ltd to the applicant following signing by the applicant of a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA") and returning it to GCRE Ltd at the email address above.
Access to the SQ and the NDA is unrestricted and you can access the SQ and the NDA in the Additional Documents section of Sell2Wales.
Bidders should seek independent legal and commercial advice in relation to the opportunity. Additional information: The duration is an estimate only, provided on the basis of the estimated time periods required to deliver Investment Phases 1 and 2.
Any queries and responses and circulars that may be issued during the tender period will be communicated exclusively via eTenderWales.
See section II.2.4 above for instructions on how to access the procurement documentation.

The Council believes that providing good homes can act as the bedrock of a successful community. In this area of Westminster the overarching aim in delivering regeneration is to provide: Long-term physical, economic and social sustainability; and create a high quality, sustainable mixed-use urban neighbourhood that integrates with the surrounding areas and is attractive to residents and visitors alike. Redevelopment is not merely about upgrading housing stock; it is also about improving the overall quality of people’s lives now and for future generations. The Council requires all those working on the project to understand its approach toward community involvement and be prepared to work collaboratively with the Council, the residents and other stakeholders to develop a flagship scheme.
Current proposals for Church Street reflect the uniqueness, diversity and vibrancy of Church Street and will deliver a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable neighbourhood, details of which are contained within the Procurement Documents.
The procurement process for Site A provides a tremendous opportunity for potential partners to find out more about this exciting long-term opportunity and for the successful partner to be a part of the journey from the outset and delivery of the first phase.
The Council will be developing the Final Business Case which includes the detail of the delivery options/structures and this delivery partner procurement exercise will inform. The work has not concluded but is likely to include an LLP vehicle jointly owned with the development partner to assist with some or all of the design/planning, funding, construction and sales/letting of the development.
The Council is seeking a suitable and appropriately qualified partner to deliver Site A and subsequent potential sites identified within the Church Street Masterplan. All amounts are subject to indexation and the procurement contracts make provision for changes allowing for the procurement value to increase beyond the range included in this notice, changes will be in accordance with regulation 72 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

However, the Council reserves its right to amend the structure and funding plans in relation to Phase 2, including but not limited to appointing a third party employer. The successful Tenderer is not guaranteed to be employed to undertake Phase 2.
Subsequent sites or phases shall be subject to - The Future Sites Agreement, which sets out preparations for additional sites (which may be brought forward as sub-phases). Tenderers may note that the Future Sites Agreement provides for the Council's interests in the Future Sites Agreement to be novated to a Council subsidiary, an investment partner (selected by the Council), a traditional developer, a Council procured delivery partner or a combination of any of them.
The Future Sites Agreement does not oblige the successful Tenderer to implement subsequent sites or phases but provides a structure to enable the Council and the successful Tenderer, if both parties are willing, to implement some or all of future sites/phases. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no guarantee that the appointed Delivery Partner will be awarded the works for future sites, and any decisions regarding future awards will be at the Council's sole discretion.
Further indicative information regarding the Future Sites Agreement is included in the Procurement documents.
A complete suite of procurement documents in relation to this opportunity may be downloaded from www.capitalesourcing.com, subject to tenderers signing and returning a non-disclosure agreement. Additional information: Social Value

Current proposals for Church Street reflect the uniqueness, diversity and vibrancy of Church Street and will deliver a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable neighbourhood. Current proposals include: Circa 1,100new homes on sites A, B and C including a target of 50% affordable homes. All existing social rented units will be replaced with fit for purpose new social rent homes.  A revitalised and thriving local high street is proposed with fit for purpose, modern, flexible retail units serving the needs of the existing and incoming community. A new purpose-built library on Church Street is proposed along with accommodation to support business start-ups, job creation and to boost economic activity in the local area.
Improvements to the Church Street Market with an attractive, accessible and safe public realm, to draw footfall and custom to secure the market’s long-term future. Homes with dual aspect views, flexible and adaptable layouts, generous private amenity spaces, low energy costs and thermal efficiency. A safer neighbourhood with active ground floor uses, a “sense of welcome” from the street to the front door and generous and naturally lit lobbies and corridors. The scheme is split into three parcels, Sites A, B & C. The Council is currently working up proposals and developing the business case for Church Street Site A. The site comprises two proposed buildings fronting Church Street, the rear of Edgware Road, Edgware Road (in part), Penfold Street and Broadley Street. The Council also acknowledges the shift in behaviour and demands in the way buildings are designed and constructed. This aligns with the Council’s commitment to becoming a carbon neutral city by 2040.
The current timetable is as follows:
•  Submission of a hybrid planning application, with outline for Sites B and C and detailed for Site A – Q3 2021
•  Tender preparation and development partner appointment –  Q3 2021 - Q3 2022
•  pre-contract works – Q4 2022 - Q2 2023
•  Start on Site – Q2 2023 Practical Completion – Q3 2027
The procurement process for Site A provides a tremendous opportunity for potential partners to find out more about this exciting long-term opportunity and for the successful partner to be a part of the journey from the outset and delivery of the first phase.

The Council will be developing the Final Business Case which includes the detail of the delivery options/structures and this delivery partner procurement exercise will inform. The work has not concluded but is likely to include an LLP vehicle jointly owned with the development partner to assist with some or all of the design/planning, funding, construction and sales/letting of the development.

Award of Contracts
The Council and NHS Lothian, through the EHSCP, have a statutory duty to provide access to independent advocacy services to people who meet the requirements of Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) act 2007, the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016, The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003. Section 259 of the 2003 Act sets out the main provisions for independent advocacy. Independent advocacy supports an advocacy partner's right to have their own voice heard in decisions made about their health and well-being. Independent advocacy enables vulnerable people to be heard and promotes social inclusion.
Independence is key in the advocacy partners right to advocacy, because it is vital that the role of independent advocacy is not compromised in any way. Independence ensures that the advocacy services provided are divorced from the interests of those persons concerned with the advocacy partner's care and welfare.
Independent advocacy services can only be provided by organisations who meet the requirements of the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance (SIAA) or equivalent. The SIAA define an independent advocacy organisation as “an organisation that only provides independent advocacy and all the activities it undertakes are about providing, promoting, supporting and defending independent advocacy. Independence means that it does not provide any other services and is structurally, financially and psychologically separate from other organisations and interests”.
Information about independent advocacy services will need to be communicated to advocacy partners in a way which each advocacy partners can understand, taking account of any special communication needs they may have. Such needs may arise, for example, where the advocacy partners is deaf or hard of hearing or has a visual impairment, a learning disability or where their first language is not English. n addition, any information provided in writing should be clear and in a style and language which can be easily understood by the individual advocacy partner.
The Service shall be predominately provided face to face to Advocacy Partners within the city of Edinburgh from either the office premises or in an agreed venue or space within the locality where the Advocacy Partner resides. If the Advocacy Partner is in a hospital ward, then the Service shall be delivered there.

reviewDetails: Appeals Procedure - A tenderer that suffers loss as a result of a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session. The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) will have a minimum standstill period of 10 days before awarding the contract. The communication of the award decision notice will be sent by fax or e-mail to all tenderers with the standstill period commencing on the next working day. If proceedings are started in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session against the Council in respect of the decision to award the contract within the standstill period then the Council is prevented from awarding the contract.

Please note that Lot's awarded cover both independent and collective advocacy requirements. These services will be developed with the needs and outcomes of Edinburgh Citizen’s being a priority. Throughout the life of the contract, if evidence suggests there is a need to do so, the Council may modify the contract as required due to change in client groups, change in funding, change in delivery focus or as may be required to respond to necessary changes such as the introduction of a National Care Service. Development over the life of the contract will be in line with the Ethical Commissioning Principles and with consultation of the contracted providers and service users.
It is a mandatory requirement of these contractual arrangements that a prompt payment clause is present in all supply chain Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request.
