description:
Most personnel who join the military leave with no underlying issues and go on to further employment or retirement and what could be considered a healthy normal life. However, the type, intensity and duration of service, along with the transition from fulltime military to civilian life, has a negative effect on veterans’ wellbeing. The AFC have specific health and wellbeing needs based on its demographics, activities, and occupations, which includes ex-service personnel being more likely to present with complex healthcare needs in comparison with the UK general population. This may include, but are not limited to, alcohol misuse, PTSD, common mental health disorders and many face ongoing loneliness and social isolation.
AFC specific social prescribing aims to support this population, which includes addressing barriers to seeking help and support such as stigma, where around 60% of military personnel with mental health issues do not seek help. Members of the AFC can face a number of barriers to care, which includes a reluctance of ex-service personnel to approach civilian services with a perception that civilian service providers have little understanding of military life. This can have an impact upon their help seeking behaviour and ability to access the support they need. Consequently, they prefer to talk to individuals and organisations who specialise in supporting the AFC, since they believe their needs will be better understood, e.g., veteran specific interventions have a positive impact upon overall wellbeing. Other social prescribing schemes have been found to result in improvements in reducing pressures on statutory services and improvements across a range of health domains including mental wellbeing. However, there is a clear need to improve outcome measurement across current and future social prescribing schemes

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The highest scoring bidder withdrew from the Procurement Process deeming it necessary to extend the Contract with the Incumbent Provider for a short-term period to secure new provision.

description:
The Contract was awarded as a 3 year Contract, plus a 2 year optional extension from 1st April 2018. The Contract was extended in accordance with its terms until 31st March 2023. The total estimated value of the 5 year Contract was £1,600,000.
A variation was made to the Contract between March 2022 - March 2023 by way of a Deed of Variation in order to expand the Tier 2 Weight Management services under the Contract. This was in response to the COVID pandemic. A single Award of £90,000 was provided by Public Health England to Local Authorities to enhance the offer of their Weight Management Services due to the greater medical risks associated with overweight or obese individuals who contracted Covid-19. The service was expanded temporarily (from October 2021 to May 2022) using the £90,000 awarded and has since returned to delivering the scope of the original contract.
The Contract was then subsequently extended for a period of six (6) months from 1st April 2023 until 30th September 2023 under Regulation 72 (1) (e) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Contract has now been Awarded a 3 month extension from 1st October 2023 - 1st January 2024 under Regulation 71 (1)(c).

description:
Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the need to establish a Multiple Supplier Framework Agreement. This Multiple Framework Agreement for Asset Management Technical Services covers services crucial to allowing Transport Scotland to meet statutory, legal and contractual obligations and aimed at driving continuous improvement in how we manage and analyse Scottish Trunk Road asset data. The services consider national standards and codes of practice, maintenance processes/procedures, asset performance and budget assignment to deliver value for money and innovation.
The Framework will consist of four Lots covering:
1) Asset Management Improvement Programme (AMIP) Lot which will include lifecycle planning; network resilience; scheme identification, prioritisation and optimisation; updates to road asset management policy, strategy and planning; information management; performance management as well as staff support and training.
2) Asset Management Performance System (AMPS) Development and Maintenance Lot. AMPS is an existing IT management and service delivery tool that is essential to the effective management and maintenance of the Scottish trunk road network and the delivery of the Operating Company Contracts. The service will through its lifetime require development and maintenance in order to improve functionality aimed at driving future improvements in Transport Scotland’s asset management practices through improved analytical capabilities and fully integrated management tools that deliver value for money solutions.
3) Geotechnical Certification Services Lot. The principal services shall comprise the provision of an independent geotechnical services for the certification of ground investigations, geotechnical design and other geotechnical activities related to the Scottish Trunk Road network. This shall include both the performance of the service and the provision of advice in relation to the service. In addition the services shall comprise providing advice in relation to technical specifications or publications. Other geotechnical-related services may be required to be undertaken from time to time, including similar services related to railway and other transport infrastructure.
4) Asset Management Technical Advice Lot. This will cover Design Standards and Professional Services which covers the review and provision of advice in relation to Departures from Standards including the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works (MCHW), and all other Transport Scotland and UK wide Design Guidance and Technical Documents (or an equivalent to each of these documents).

The role of Lead Construction Manager includes the following services:
1. Take on the Lead Consultant role where Hellens will manage and use the existing project team (which includes planning and other technical consultants) and the extensive information that currently exists.
2. Secondly, Hellens as the Lead Construction Manager, would manage and oversee the delivery of the infrastructure along with, in the first instance, procuring an infrastructure contractor in accordance with Homes England's public sector procurement rules.

title: Burtree Garden Village - Lead Construction Manager

description:
Homes England’s land interest at Burtree Garden Village comprises a 122 hectare site which was acquired between March 2020 and December 2022. The land purchased forms approximately 69% of Burtree Garden Village, a wider strategic mixed use allocation located at the north-western edge of Darlington.
Homes England acquired the Freehold interest in the site by way of an assignment of an Option Agreement held by a private developer Hellens Land Limited (Hellens) who had up until this time acted as lead developer/promoter. Upon acquiring the Option Agreement from Hellens, it was a condition of the assignment by Hellens that a Collaboration Agreement was entered into between Homes England and Hellens, detailing how the parties will collaborate to obtain planning and how costs  of the acquisition and planning and infrastructure works and receipts will be shared.
The wider Garden Village extends to 178 ha (440 acres) and seeks to deliver over 2,000 new homes, village centre, primary school, employment space along with an extensive and integrated blue/green network incorporating a new 10 ha (25 acre) public park. Circa. 1,600 of these new homes, 600,000 sq. ft of employment space, park, nature reserve, land identified for a new primary school, village centre and park are proposed to be accommodated on the Homes England owned land.
Whilst Homes England have been involved in this site since late 2019, Hellens have been involved since 2015. Their role was initially working with the various landowners to promote the site, followed by leading the consortium in the preparation of a masterplan along with other technical works. This work resulted in the site successfully obtaining Garden Communities status in 2019 from MHCLG (now DLUHC) just prior Homes England’s involvement.
This along with the work Hellens has undertaken to date with Homes England means that they have been working on the Burtree project for eight years and as such have detailed knowledge of the site, its complexities and the relationships between the landowners.
Since the initial acquisition in March 2020, Homes England and Hellens have worked closely with the Local Authority to agree key principles around the phasing strategy and infrastructure delivery to ensure the successful delivery of the Garden Village. This has resulted in the need for a new section of road, along with a new roundabout, drainage basins, utilities and landscaping to be constructed at the beginning of the development, prior to any homes being built.
In December 2022 Homes England secured funding to take on a master developer role by providing primary vehicular infrastructure, SUDs, pedestrian and cycle links, village centre, landscaping and central park.
Homes England’s ongoing support for the Burtree site, which is part of the Government’s Garden Communities programme, helps fulfil this wider government objective whilst also proposing to invest in the town of Darlington, supporting the levelling up agenda. The site has also been masterplanned to achieve positive outcomes in terms of design, place making, sustainability and environmental considerations, resulting in a beacon scheme for the North East demonstrating the quality of place Homes England and wider government is seeking to encourage.
The Collaboration Agreement documents the agreement between Homes England and Hellens as to how the delivery of the site will take place, how the project is to be funded and the division of risk and receipts between those parties thereafter.  The Collaboration Agreement also sets out that Homes England will consider how Hellens could be involved in the future delivery of the infrastructure, which is considered a significant benefit given Hellens experience and knowledge of the project.
It is now proposed that Hellens Land Limited be directly appointed as Lead Construction Manager.

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
In accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons.
Homes England’s collaboration agreement with Hellen establishes a number of key elements which impact on competition:
•	Homes England and Hellens are jointly responsible for meeting the financial obligations that allow the exercising of the options to acquire land, upon which, the proposed infrastructure works worth £36.4m will take place
•	to date Hellens have been responsible for funding the majority of the costs relating to planning and other technical/consultants work and reports
•	Hellens will ultimately fund the majority of works and services costs including those services included in this notice.  Therefore the actual cost of the services included in this notice will be lower at £1,555,410.
Hellens have a direct financial and land interest in the subject site, a detailed understanding of the project and this together with the delivery obligations establish circumstances where Hellens have an ability to provide development management services in a sufficiently unique form from a commercial and technical perspective, avoiding complexity and delay in the pace of development.
In considering the grounds for this approach, Homes England considers that Hellens have an exclusive position but not an exclusive rights under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii).  This approach maintains pace of development to contribute to Homes England objectives in addressing urgent need for new homes across England but this not considered extremely urgent under Regulation 32(2)(c).  These considerations provide further support to the technical reasons identified.
No reasonable alternative or substitute exists to this approach and a viable procurement to enable other suppliers to provide an equivalent solution is not practical or possible, hence competition is absent for technical reasons for this notice.
The relationship established on the back of Homes England’s decision to acquire land options and enter into a collaboration agreement and share costs based on the respective land ownership creates a situation no other development manager could fully replicate.  That Hellen’s have a long term and continuing interest and unique understanding of the project and development challenges, are likely to be acting as Homes England’s agent for the procuring works under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, are funding the majority of the cost of the development management and this approach improves the commercial viability by retaining costs within that of Homes England and Hellens are relevant technical reasons.
It is these technical reasons which mean no reasonable alternative or substitute exists to this approach and a viable procurement to enable other suppliers to provide an equivalent solution is not practical or possible.  Whilst other suppliers may be able to replicate in part some of the requirements the overall technical uniqueness of Hellens means the potential for a viable competition is not possible for technical reasons and further supported by exclusive and urgency reasoning.

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified contractors to provide design, supply (including procurement, fabrication/assembly, factory testing, delivery to site), installation, commissioning and maintenance of the electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system at Portsmouth International Port (PIP).
The awarded contractor will be responsible for the  electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system from the incoming supply at the port boundary to shore connection and CMS. This includes:
•	Electrical integration of equipment including, but not limited to, shoreside sub-stations, transformers, frequency convertors, switch boards.
•	Cable management system (CMS) for the vessel connection system, usually comprising, but not limited to connection cabinet, dispenser(s), cables and plug system.
The awarded contractor will be responsible for sub-contracting any specialist works, such as CMS.
The council is aiming to award two contracts on 19th December 2023 to the preferred bidder:
1. CONTRACT FOR DESIGN, SUPPLY, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF EQUIPMENT - Value range of £12 - £14m. Following award the contract will start late Dec 2023 /early Jan 2024, with design complete by end of Q1 2024. This will be followed by an 11-month period for manufacture, supply & installation, with a further month for testing & commissioning, completing by 31st March 2025.

It is the council's clear preference for the successful Tenderer to enter into a contract on the basis of these terms and conditions, which have not been subject to any material changes.

The Alliance Multi-Academy Trust (TAMAT) encompasses 5 schools and circa 1400 pupils in Surrey.
The Trust Head Office is currently at Windlesham Village Infant School.
The Alliance Multi-Academy Trust or TAMAT was born, bringing together five of those initial schools and over 1400 children.  We are proud that we have already achieved something that is unique - for the first time in Surrey, schools of both a secular and church nature have collaborated and found a way of coming together formally in a Multi-Academy Trust, for mutual benefit. There was an element risk because we had always relied on the local authority and/or diocese and did not want to lose our uniqueness.
The school leadership teams and governors committed to a new level and type of collaboration that benefits the children of all our schools enormously. We are enjoying the autonomy but also the added strength in resourcing that working together brings.  But we have not come together to create TAMAT academy school "clones" - far from it.  We fundamentally recognise the individuality of each school, their teachers, their cultures and environments, but most importantly their children and TAMAT will always respect that.  And so, our doors are open to other like-minded partners and we invite you to find out more.
This procurement encompasses the items noted below.  In essence, this procurement is all about identifying a single supplier to provide a fully managed communications, security and telephony service.
At the sole discretion of the Trust any future schools that the Trust may incorporate into the Trust will also be added to the ICT contract.  Any additional schools will co-terminate to the end same end date of the initial contract.
In terms of the service this is advertised as a 60 month contract with start and end dates as follows:
Service start date - 1st June 2024
Service end date - 31st May 2029
The companies identified from these shortlisting questions to receive the ITT for the Managed communications, security and telephony partner will then receive a further detailed set of requirements. For the purposes of this shortlisting stage bidders should assume that the ITT will include, but is not be limited to;
•	A managed connectivity service to connect schools anywhere in England
•	A broadband service for each school based on synchronous connectivity
•	A 'failover' line
•	A filtering and firewalled service
•	A service that is compliant to latest KCSIE guidance
•	A managed VoIP telephony service for each school to an agreed number of handsets each
•	Support and maintenance service
•	Full end to end single SLA approach
•	Management of any 3rd parties required to provide the service
•	Relevant monitoring, management, and reporting
•	Full installation and transition service
•	Value added services
•	Technical interface into the Trusts outsourced support provision
Bidders should note the following:
•	The Trust will provide a standard contract as part of the ITT Pack
•	It is not expected there may be a requirement for TUPE
