name: Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Fire Authority

status: planned

description:
Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire Authority (BMKFA) the Contracting Authority, acting on behalf of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (BFRS), employs approximately 500 people at any given time.  The staff groups consist of 374 Operational Fire Fighters and 126 Support staff.
All staff access a range of training and development courses and inputs (delivered via e-learning, virtually or face to face).  Training and development activity is panned annually with all staff participating in annual Performance Appraisal & Development Process.
Operational staff undertake initial training period followed by a period of development, via an Apprenticeship course.  This takes between 18-24 months to complete and involves a number of training elements/learning inputs and work based performance activity.  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 process is subject to internal and external assurance.
Support staff complete an induction process, and ongoing training and development via the e-learning platform and/or other sources.
These processes utilise a range of paper based files, computer drives, electronic HR systems, electronic Rostering System and Learning Management System. The systems are not integrated.  Staff and Line Managers have to use multiple systems to identify, undertake, progress, complete learning, reporting, development and performance which results in a user experience that is disjointed rather than intuitive.
Whilst the Service would prefer one system to effectively manage these integrated learning, training, development and performance functions and processes, we are aware of the complex challenges both financially and technically in realising a single system solution and understand the outcome of the market engagement may indicate this is not possible.
The current Staff Learning Management System (LMS) in Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service provides a cloud-based virtual learning platform, for administration, tracking, monitoring and reporting of development and training programmes.
The system enables the Authority to evidence against fire service standards and a range of qualification on a web-based system with individual logins for each learner.
The LMS is integral in enabling employees to record their operational competencies as well as housing the practical standards they are set against.
The current system provides all staff a platform to:
•	Obtain relevant information through training packages, presentations and videos.
•	Complete mandatory eLearning packages.
•	Maintain operational competencies (MOC).
•	Track progress against local and National guidelines.
This Prior Information Notice is to inform the market that BMKFA/BFRS 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 plans to hold a supplier engagement event to present a more detailed overview of our project aims and objectives and to seek industry expertise and feedback to better inform the Authority system review, budget requirements and subsequent procurement process.
The market engagement event is scheduled to take place on 26th September 2023 with two sessions being offered.  The first session starting at 09:30 to 12:30 and the second session from 13:30 to 16:30. The session will involve an initial presentation by BFRS for 30-60 minutes, followed by an open Questions and Answers session for the remainder of the slot time, further timings to follow.
In the event that the level of response requires an additional day, further information will be provided offering a second date.
Full details of the event and all associated communications will be managed using the following email contact:  Procurement@bucksfire.gov.uk Additional information: All communication relating to this PIN Notice should be directed to:

2.Aldermoor Farm Primary School, Acorn Street, Coventry, West Midlands CV1 1DP
https://aldermoorfarmschool.com
The current cleaning service provision at Allesley Primary School and Aldermore Farm Primary School has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Client has made a decision to tender the cleaning  service.
The current cleaning operation is run by the Client at Aldermore Farm and partially at Allesley Primary School.
The value of the current contract is £100k per annum and it is intended that the initial contract shall run for a period of 3 years, with the ability to extend by a further two years with agreement with both parties.
For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract.
The successful Supplier will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within the school on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the Client has total clarity on both operational and financial performance.
The Client is seeking both innovation and the application of current cleaning techniques and up-to-date equipment within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify ‘best value’ principles and work in partnership with the chosen Supplier going forward.
The Client has set five key objectives which should be focused upon throughout the tender process. They are:
•Ongoing savings year-on-year during the contract term.
•The contract will be for 3 years initially, with the option of a 2 year extension, depending on operational and financial performance.
•Review / suggestions to improve work methodology; suggestions to improve the efficiency of service.
•Due to the high percentage of hard flooring throughout the site, it is believed specialist equipment will be required to maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout. Recommendations and investment of this equipment should be included within the financial submission of the tender document.
•The successful Supplier must deliver a consistently, high standards of cleanliness across the site.
A reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual operating financial result to allow the Client to see how the cleaning operation is performing financially. Any banked hours will be accrued and used to cover additional periodic cleans or credited back to the Client at the end of each financial year.
See SQ document for further details.

Balance Sheet strength
Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process.  Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure.  The above would be expressed in the ration Total Assets/Total Liabilities.

An applicant should have no outstanding issues, with regard to statutory filing requirements with Companies House.
Applicants who have been trading for less than the 3 years noted above must provide evidence that they are complying with the above minimum financial requirements for the period in which they have been trading.
Applicants who do not comply with the above financial requirements but are part of a Group, can provide a parent guarantee if the parent company satisfies the financial requirements stipulated above.
Due to the potential negative financial consequences of the pandemic on company finances, Glasgow Life also requires assurance regarding current liquidity of the bidding company.  The bidder must provide a Letter of Comfort from its own bank to satisfy the above financial requirement.
The internal procedures of each bank is different, therefore it is difficult for Glasgow Life to be definitive, as to the precise wording of the Letter of comfort, but the undernoted wording should provide an example of the broad requirements of the Letter.

The customer has credit balances of (amount), and as such has sufficient liquidity to undertake the contract with Glasgow Life, at the value and duration we believe the contract to be at.
Finally, I am obliged to state that the Bank is not a credit reference agency, and the response above, cannot be replied upon as such.
If the pandemic has had an adverse effect on the latest set of accounts filled with Companies House, Glasgow Life will take that into account in determining financial suitability for the contract.
The above, however, should not impinge on the financial viability of the company, as defined by the ratios set out in the above financial requirements.
Glasgow Life reserves the right, at its own discretion to seek such other information from the Bidder in accordance with Regulations 61(7) or Regulation 61 (8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulation 2015 to prove the Bidder’s economic and financial standing.

market of the intention to procure these services.
Interested parties will not be prejudiced or advantaged by any response or lack thereof to
the PIN and a response to this PIN does not guarantee any invitation to participate in any
future procurement.

Potato cyst nematode (PCN) is the name given to two species of nematode (Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis) which are serious pests of potato crops world-wide. They feed on the roots of the plant and can cause significant loss of yield, including crop failure. The cysts can survive in the soil for many years (over 25 years under favourable conditions), multiplying rapidly when a new crop of host plants is planted.
PCN have been subject to controls under European legislation since 1969. A revised EU PCN control Directive, came into force on July 1, 2010 and was implemented in Scotland by the Plant Health (Scotland) Amendment Order 2010. Under the directive seed can only be planted on land certified free from PCN. SASA carries out statutory testing of soil samples for the presence of PCN in Scotland. Currently SASA processes around 18,000 samples over a 9 month period every year since 2010. To facilitate this much of the work is automated and a key component of this is a liquid handling workstation which is used to both aid extraction of DNA from soil samples and set up the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) used to detect the nematodes. The use of the workstation ensures the robustness and reproducibility of the test and ensures the high throughput of samples required to meet the deadlines for reporting. It also enables saving on staff costs as a single person can process up to 500 samples per day.

description:
This Contract Award Notice is intended to inform the market that NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) have entered into a contract with BJM IG Privacy Limited - Data Privacy Simplified Limited, to deliver professional Information Governance Support Services.
This follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice on 13th July 2023 (reference: 2023/S 000-018914) which provided confirmation of the Authority's intention to enter into a contract with the identified supplier.
This is a short-term arrangement whilst HWE ICB makes the necessary arrangements to transition this service safely back in house. The service includes:
- Continuation of GP DPO support.
- Providing ad hoc IG advice when needed
- Providing ad hoc cover for e.g., Subject Access Requests, where the case may be particularly sensitive or require additional support.
- That this cover is in place for the 23/24 financial year.
The above work will be commissioned with the longer-term intention of:
• Aiming to bring this work inhouse – with a better understanding over capacity required.
• Reviewing the ICBs statutory duties in providing wider DPO support
• Having provided a realistic period to observe the scale and scope of work likely to be experienced through the increased delegation to ICBs with Community Pharmacy, Dentistry and Ophthalmology.
• Providing the newly created team with an opportunity to bed down and have backup support if needed.
BJM Privacy - Data Privacy Simplified Limited, have been providing this service to HWE ICB since the incorporation of the ICB on 1st July 2022. The total value of this arrangement fell underneath the thresholds for competition in line with the Public Contract Regulations (PCR). The total cumulative value of the service since the initial contract began is now above the thresholds for tendering under PCR.
Competition is not being sought for these services on this occasion as it would cause significant disruption and impact negatively on continuity. This is also a short-term arrangement to bridge a gap whilst the services transition. There is no clear benefit from conducting a formal tender process.
The previous value of work awarded to the supplier was £122,112 (excluding VAT).
The new contract will end on 31st March 2024 and has a value of £153,372 (inclusive of VAT).
Therefore, the total new cumulative value of the contract (considering the previous work and the proposed new work) is £299,906 (inclusive of VAT). Additional information: In line with best practice, the Authority applied a 10-day standstill period prior to conclusion of the contract.

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This modification is being made under the provisions set out in Regulation 72 (1) (c) (i), (ii) and (iii).
The demand for services supplied by this contract have significantly increased during the period of the contract, over and above the estimates and contingencies provided for in the initial tender documents which is resulting in the need to uplift the value of the contract. Anticipated demand was carefully calculated for this contract, and contingencies were built into the contract in case of increased demand. However, the scale of the increase in demand has been beyond that allowed for and could not have been foreseen by the Contracting Authority.

description: The current Contract 738253, Lot 4 Tree Surgery is to be increased in value from £2,065,000.00 to a total of £3,097,500.00.
