This PIN has been issued by Rail Settlement Plan (RSP) Limited, trading as Rail Delivery Group (RDG) under the auspices of its members Train Operating Companies who operate main line passenger train services in the United Kingdom (TOCs). RDG brings together the companies that run Britain's railway - Train Operating Companies (TOCs) - into a single team with one goal, to deliver a better railway. Modernising ticketing and improving the customer journey are top priorities for passengers and the industry.
All the passenger and freight rail companies are members of the RDG, as well as Network Rail and HS2. RDG provides services and support to enable our members to succeed in transforming and delivering a successful railway, benefiting passengers, taxpayers and the economy.
RDG manages a large number of data services and systems that are fundamental to the retail of train tickets across the UK. Some examples:
- Timetable data of all UK Rail passenger services;
- Product Management Service that contains all UK Rail fares;
- National Reservation Service;
- National Rail Enquiries;
- Central Back Office for Smart Ticketing;
- LENNON that captures all UK Rail ticket sales;
- ORCATS that apportions ticket sales back to the TOCs.
RDG may procure a TCS, and associated services, with a view of delivering a 'best of class' service that would align to the strategic vision for future digital ticketing for GB Rail going forward. RDG expects that a new service would be:
A tried and tested, cost effective, market leading, back-office system, that will:
•	Consistently and accurately calculate the correct fare for customers who make National Rail journeys based on a series of supplied taps and industry data in any future account-based ticketing area;
•	Support multiple PAYG Operators with varying customer propositions;
•	Support token-agnostic tap data (including but not limited to smartcard, cEMV, Barcode, etc);
•	Integrate with other PAYG engines to support multi-modal fare calculations by PAYG Operators;
•	Integrate with wider industry ecosystems and schemes;
•	Ensure transparency and predictability on a national basis, including but not limited to fare calculations, incomplete journeys, maximum fares, customer-supplied taps;
•	Remain market leading, with ongoing investment and roadmap, to offer a best-in-class solution;
•	Be accredited to integrate into existing RDG systems;
•	Be an enterprise-grade solution, meeting relevant security, accuracy, performance and availability targets. In particular, but not limited to, accreditation to ISO 27001;
•	Provide service management and integration to ISO 20000;
•	Assure the quality of the service by guaranteeing the fares calculations;
•	Be appropriate for RDG investment appetite and team size; and
•	Support and apply entitlements, concessions, discounts and fare-capping.
Suppliers intending to take part in the Market Engagement should notify RDG of their intention by email to:
TCSprocurement@raildeliverygroup.com
And copying the Principal Contact, Sam Stevens at
Sam.stevens@raildeliverygroup.com
Suppliers will then be asked to complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).  For suppliers to access the Bidders' Open Day, all suppliers must complete the (NDA) in advance of the session. The EOI and NDA will be issued upon request to the above email addresses.
Suppliers will be issued with a Memorandum of Information (MOI) detailing a high-level summary of the proposed scope and a summary of the potential procurement process. In addition, RDG will issue separately a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) which will look to pose a series of questions which aim to provide RDG with greater market awareness of existing capabilities prior to commencing the procurement exercise.
Information enclosed in the questionnaire form will be treated in the strictest confidence, suppliers should note that RDG may use the information provided to help inform the procurement exercise, the requirements, and any other associated approach.
The deadline for return of the MEQ is 23:59 (GMT) on the Sunday 12th December 2023, those who miss the deadline can still forward the information, but RDG reserve the right to either ex/include the details for consideration.
RDG will hold a Bidders' Open Day and a series of one-to-one sessions (which will be conducted virtually) with those suppliers who are interested in taking part.
The Bidders' Open Day will take place on the Tuesday 28th November 2023 with one-to-one sessions starting from the Wednesday 29th November 2023, details of how to request a slot can be found in the Memorandum of Information.  There will be ten slots which will be issued on a first come first served basis.
This PIN notice does not commit RDG to conduct the procurement exercise, tenderers who incur costs as a result of this notice do so under at their own risk.
In line with the expectations of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, RDG expects to novate the contracts associated with this solution to an appropriate company within Great British Railways.

description:
This PIN has been issued by Rail Settlement Plan (RSP) Limited, trading as Rail Delivery Group (RDG) under the auspices of its members Train Operating Companies (TOC) who operate main line passenger train services in the United Kingdom (TOCs).
RDG may look to procure a Tap Converter Service (TCS) to support regional and national implementations of Pay As You Go (PAYG) on rail. The TCS, will allow PAYG Operators to submit taps (from multiple token types) from which it will construct journeys and determine the best available fare based on the latest available rail data (e.g. timetable, disruption, fares etc).  It will then provide the calculated fare information to the PAYG Operator to charge the customer and submit settlement records to the rail industry settlement engine (LENNON). TCS will also provide a series of management functions and facilitate access to the data it holds to support the PAYG Operator.
This Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) acts to instigate the following:
- to allow RDG to reduce the tendering periods if a procurement exercise is commenced
- to provide advance notice to the market of an imminent procurement activity to procure a PAYG/TCS
- to provide an initial outline of the scope of services,
- allow participants to take part in a market sounding exercise, prior to the commencement of the procurement.
In accordance with the expectations of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, RDG expects to novate the contracts associated with this solution to an appropriate company within Great British Railways in due course.

London Borough of Waltham Forest are seeking to determine market options for the provision of a Fuel Poverty Provider over the long term (advertised value for a 3 year contract).
We are also seeking to determine the market capacity for outreach and engagement during the Winter period of 2023/24, including capacity building in the voluntary sector to support ongoing resilience to rising fuel costs (approx value £65,500).
Providers from across the market are invited to submit details on what they are able to provide in this sector. The range of services that we are reviewing are as follows:
London Borough of Waltham Forest is looking for a supplier/suppliers to provide Fuel Poverty support and outreach to vulnerable residents, particularly those without an EPC rating or an EPC rating of D-G.
The Fuel Poverty Provider is required to assist 260 vulnerable households in Waltham Forest to save an average of £300 or more on their annual energy bill as a result of receiving a package of interventions. At least 70% of households must have an existing health condition as defined by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 2015 guidance on excess winter deaths and illness caused by cold homes.
For social and private tenants experiencing damp and disrepair, the provider will follow the agreed pathways (see attached) and will provide damp and disrepair reports only when those pathways are exhausted.
The provider is expected to provide additional support to at least 30 residents receiving large energy efficiency measures in their home (for example boiler replacement), it is expected that if the provider is not able to reach these targets they should inform the Council as soon as possible and agree alternative work to be carried out in place of these outputs.
The Provider is expected to target and prioritise households most in need.
To qualify, households must be living in Waltham Forest and will be either:
- Owner occupiers living in energy inefficient housing with high energy costs
- Living in an energy inefficient property with high energy costs in the private rented sector
- A Social tenant of the Council or a housing association. This work will be limited to advice and support [small measures].  The provider may not carry out any improvement works on these properties.
The Provider should provide a package of interventions tailored to the individual household’s needs following an assessment. Interventions can include a mixture of advice and support and energy efficiency improvement measures installed in the property. This can also include case work support for residents applying for Council initiatives or Council supported schemes such as ECO4, GBIS or future variations of these schemes.
The Provider should act as an Energy Efficiency Advisor and be NEA/City & Guilds 6281-01 Level 3 Award in Energy Awareness qualified or equivalent. The Provider will also be able to work with the Council to provide EPC ratings to homes without an existing certificate that are likely to be eligible for funding schemes once this is in place.
The improvements that can be installed in a property will depend on many things, including age and size of the property; condition of the property; and available funding. For each home, the Provider is required to undertake a survey to identify what improvements can be installed and funded. The works should deliver value for money and be effective.
Larger energy efficiency improvement works are applicable provided the Provider and / or the Council secure significant additional external funding to deliver them. Where funding allows, the provider should prioritise the installation of zero-carbon heating systems and the use of sustainable materials, ensuring that materials and installations always fully comply with safety regulations. Embodied carbon should be considered and minimised wherever possible.
Within the Winter Support 23/24 variation to this contract, the provider is expected to undertake a scheduled of outreach events (proposed at 6 sessions a week for 20 weeks) in collaboration with the Council to identify vulnerable residents to support with energy efficiency measures and completing support applications (e.g. to Council schemes or ECO4. The Provider should be willing to attend Community Living Rooms, Faith Groups and other engagement opportunities and be flexible to meet the needs of the community. We would expect the provider to support at least 100 residents to make an application via the Council’s winter support form.
This is an opportunity to ensure the most vulnerable are being supported and can access the services on offer from both the Provider and the Council. Those that are digitally excluded or have limited contact with the Council should be provided with an opportunity.
Ideally the Provider should be able to attend outreach events and home visits using the most sustainable mode of transport available to them, or by reducing the miles travelled by carbon intensive modes (e.g. cars). We are seeking social value from local based provider/providers who have a likeminded ethos and can work in partnership with us to deliver the best possible outcomes for our citizens.

description:
Based on the research undertaken to date in the discovery, alpha and beta phases 1 and 2, the service component of the project (as distinct from policy development) focuses on the following two features:
(i) An informational website which maps out and clarifies the regulatory and HTA pathway for AI and data-driven technologies, highlighting relevant guidance and materials that developers and adopters need when they need it, so that they can make regulatory progress more effectively whilst (ideally) expending less resource. The developer area of the website launched in public beta in March 2023 under the title of the AI and Digital Regulations Service. The adopter area is in private beta at time of writing this spec. The whole website is expected to launch in public beta in June 2023.
(ii) A centralised transactional resource that makes it easier for developers and adopters to access advice and support they need by triaging them to the most appropriate of existing support offers whilst 'hiding the wiring'.
Our requirement is for the supplier for the public beta improvement phase to build upon significant foundational work undertaken in phases 1 and 2, including but not limited to: • Revising and improving the design and build of the service based on findings from private beta testing in phases 1 and 2 • Conducting user research with developers and adopters to test the public beta version of the website and ensure the web platform continues to meet the needs of all users.
At the time of on-boarding, the service will be running in public beta. The supplier will be expected to provide technical / service desk support. In line with government funded digital services, a project with a transactional service must pass the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) / Government Digital Services (GDS) assessments to progress to different stages of development, e.g. from public beta to live.

description:
A healthcare output and content management system concerns the provision of hardware and softwaresolutions and services that enable an NHS organisation to manage its output and data silos typically presentwithin its best of breed clinical systems and other support systems. The system can be composed of severalmodular components which all work together to create a coherent platform for managing output and healthcarecontent to enrich hospitals’ existing investments in systems, such as, electronic patient record (EPR) systemsand Patient administration systems (PAS).
At a high-level, the solution must provide:
— user friendly, simple and clean single source access portal which presents data (stored and managedcontent) from all hospital clinical systems,
—— ability to store electronically-generated healthcare content;
—— ability to manage healthcare content throughout its lifecycle, providing auditable information andappropriate security;
—— ability to capture and route new information from analogue and digital sources, including the provision of e-forms;
—— enterprise based software licences to view, access, capture and route information;
—— ability to integrate with scanning and archiving solutions;
—— ability to integrate hardware (output device/MFD) with clinical systems;
—— training and professional services for implementation and maintenance;
—— software and hardware maintenance;
—— appropriate hardware to facilitate transition to digital patient records and a digital enterprise.
Total solution
Bidders must offer a solution that encompasses all of the modular elements described in the ITT documents.These elements may be called-off and established individually to enable NHS organisations to adopt thistechnology with minimal impact to its patient services and available funding. Call-off contracts will include aroadmap of total or partial adoption. There is no obligation under this agreement for NHS organisations tocommit to purchase all available modules. However, for the avoidance of doubt, this framework cannot beutilised to award a managed print/hardware service with no intention to ever adopt other modules provisioned inthis framework. The purpose of this is to not distort the already well-established hardware market, which manyother framework agreements already service.
This will be a framework agreement with no commitment or guaranteed level of business.

Barnet Borough, North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) wish to commission an integrated wheelchair service for people of all ages who have a long-term need (longer than 6 months, or life expectancy of less than 6 months) for mobility assistance and who are registered with a Barnet GP practice.
As of 1st January 2023, there are 50 GP practices in Barnet, with a total registered population of ~440,000. Of which there are approximately 3,300 registered service users of the current Barnet wheelchair service (~3,000 adults and ~300 children) Barnet Borough envisage that the service will provide a care model for wheelchair users which supports delivery of the Wheelchair Alliance Charter in helping those with complex, long-term conditions access the right chair, right time, right now, and with appropriate information and support.
The full service will cover:
1. Assessment, prescription, and supply of powered and manual wheelchairs and associated postural seating accessories (WCS)
2. Rehabilitation Engineering facilities (RE)
3. Service and Maintenance packages (AR)
These elements will be delivered under an integrated service managed through one organisation which has overall responsibility for the delivery of the service.
The following set of guiding principles describe what a future-state service that delivers the vision statement will look like. These core principles outline a blueprint for wheelchair services:
• Wheelchair services offered will be person-centred and holistic towards the users' needs, promoting and enabling self-help and empowerment;
• Access into wheelchair services is through a single point of access/contact with users being seen by the right people, at the right time, in the right place, and receiving the right equipment;
• Information and communication systems will be used effectively to ensure relevant information on a user's care is available where and when it is needed for users and clinicians;
• Core support processes and services will be aligned to deliver care in ways which minimise avoidable delays and non-value adding activities;
• Clinical teams will be fully engaged in the management of the service and will use clear metrics to measure service delivery and improvement;
• Advice should be readily available to stakeholders to avoid the need for unnecessary referral;
The service will be expected to be delivered in line with the recommendations of CECOPS CIC .
Service response times will be in accordance with the minimum standards within the Healthcare Standards for NHS-Commissioned Wheelchair Services, DH (2015) and the 18-week Referral to Treatment standard.
All service users must be offered a Personal Wheelchair Budget, with the exception of where a service user has rapidly changing and deteriorating conditions.
The service shall be provided in the most appropriate environment in order to best address the disabled person/child's needs. This should include the full range of community settings, such as home, education, place of employment, in addition to a wheelchair clinic. However, the service will maintain a hub in Barnet.
The service must operate Monday to Friday between 8.00am to 6.00pm, exclusive of Bank Holidays, though flexibility around assessment times is considered where requested. The service will also be expected to operate until 8.00pm at least two evenings per week and for 4 hours on Saturday morning to accommodate the needs of users or carers who require appointments at these times.
Repairs services will operate an Out of Hours emergency facility outside of core weekday hours between 7:00am and 9.00am and 5.00pm and 11.00pm. The weekend emergency
cover must operate between the hours of 7:00am and 11.00pm, inclusive of Bank Holidays.
The new service will be commissioned for 3 years (with the option of a 2-year extension) from 1st June 2024.
This contract will be commissioned on a block arrangement basis.
The ITT has been issued through the e-tendering portal. All Bidders wishing to participate must complete and submit Bids that comply with the requirements set out in the ITT document. Bidders are required to complete the online questionnaire on procontract and upload any attachments as indicated before the deadline for submission of bids specified in the ITT document.

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Collaboration (RAICo®) programme is a collaboration between UKAEA, UKNDA, Sellafield and Manchester University and includes an initial 3-year programme of technology development. The programme is focussed on delivering and proving underlying robotics and artificial intelligence technologies that are required for effective decommissioning, as well as providing deployment opportunities to have maximum operational impact.
Using robotics and AI in hazardous nuclear decommissioning environments will provide the step-change in capabilities needed to move towards a cheaper, faster, and less hazardous set of next generation decommissioning activities.
Decontamination is one of the RAICo programme’s main themes and it is aiming at developing tools for fission decommissioning and fusion engineering applications.
RAICo are investigating the use of laser ablation / cleaning systems which can be deployed on collaborative robots for the cleaning of small parts and components of differing geometries.
In support of this likely future requirement, this PIN is being issued to understand the current market capability to deliver a robotic deployed laser cleaning system for the cleaning of small metallic parts and components of differing size and shapes. The system is envisaged to be an integrated system that could be, capable of combining a collaborative robot (e.g. UR-10e) deploying a cleaning laser system and linking that with a second collaborative robot (e.g. UR-10e) that can hold, manoeuvre and place objects inside an enclosure.
This PIN will result in UKAEA being able to create a specification for this requirement and may issue a competitive tender to the market in early 2024.

description: The Council wishes to commission a cost effective home care service for adults which supports and meets Service Users assessed needs while supporting and promoting independence. The Council would like to develop a commissioning framework for longer term care and support to individuals in their own homes that is based on the principles of continuing enablement through outcome-based contracts. This is a developmental specification that will be developed in partnership with providing organisations. Suppliers will be required to accept and acknowledge that aspects of this specification will change and that this will be enacted in partnership with them and will be within the remit of the principles of this specification as it was first produced. The contract will have two distinct phases: Phase One: Contract Commencement: Phase One will commence on 1.4.2016. The current time and task operational model will be implemented. Phase Two: Outcomes Based Service: This is the developmental part of the contract. It is expected that the new model of service provision will evolve during the first 18 months of the contract to a point at which all Service Users will have moved onto outcomes based Independence Plans and away from time and task orientated provision. The contract will be split into 9 geographical lots. Bidders will be requested to bid for a maximum of 3 Lots. No bidder will be awarded more than 3 Lots. There is the possibility that the supplier for Continuing Health Care Services may wish to utilise this contract. Indicative volumes have been provided should arrangements be made to allow this contract to be more widely utilised. The contract value for Domiciliary Care in Buckinghamshire is estimated at 19 300 000 GBP per annum. 4 300 000 GBP of this figure is the estimated spend on Continuing Health Care Services per annum. The contract will be awarded initially for 5 ½ years with a possibility to extend for a further two years, depending on performance and availability of funding. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply to this contract. If your organisation wishes to participate in this process, you need to register with the South East Business Portal (SEBP) and follow the instructions.

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: •	Unexpected changes to Government plans for the Adult Social Care reforms - Initially the Council had aligned the launch of a new Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) to the direction of travel set out in the Government's plans for Adult Social Care reform. As such, the Council anticipated using the Fair Cost of Care Grant as part of the budget to fund packages commissioned through the DPV. However, the 2022 Autumn Statement announced delays to the roll out of the reforms and changes to the funding that Councils would receive. The Council had anticipated £5.6m funding through the Fair Cost of Care Grant. However, the replacement funding, which was finally announced in December 2022 provided the Council with a much smaller allocation of £4m. Given this significant change, budgets for the DPV needed to be remodelled and confirmed through the Council's budget setting process in February 2023.  The Tender therefore couldn't be published before this.
•	Destabilising factor of the CCG transition to Integrated Care Board (ICB) which impacted on ability to negotiate an integrated contract - Whilst the change in governance was foreseen the length of the impact was unforeseen.  Decisions that had been made previously under the CCG governance arrangements had to be reviewed at a time when the new ICB governance structures were not yet fully established. This led to protracted decision making and delay.
•	Review of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) provision - Following the establishment of the new ICB, there was a decision by the ICB to review how care was purchased across the Integrated Care System for adults eligible for CHC. This impacted on decision making as to whether CHC was to be included in the DPV, which in turn affected finalising the DPV model and tender documentation. This was exacerbated by the above issue (bullet 2). A final position on this was not achieved until January 2023. The Tender therefore couldn't be published before this.
•	Destabilisation of the care market following the pandemic and subsequent economic challenges: The instability in the market and significant financial pressures on providers has meant that the procurement model and pricing structure had to be considered in this context which required additional research, engagement and sign off in order to design a DPV that is fit for purpose in the current market. Initial plans for the home care DPV had to be put on hold during the pandemic to manage the crisis response.
