title: Ventilator Challenge Assignment of Intellectual Property, Design Consultancy Work and materials to Develop the BAE Florence Ventilator

description:
The ‘Rapid Manufacture Ventilator Systems (RMVS) programme’ is a workstream within the ventilator challenge progressing novel and modified designs for ventilator devices, manufactured on a rapid basis to ensure sufficient capacity within the NHS.
Cabinet Office, who are running the RMVS programme on behalf of the UK government, engaged with a wide range of suppliers, including designers, manufacturers and component suppliers, to progress a number of ventilator models (by taking forward existing designs through licencing agreements and by developing new products based on existing products and based on new original designs) resulting in the manufacturer of ventilators to meet the identified need.

description:
The ‘Ventilator Challenge’ was created by the UK government and delivered across several government departments (Department of Health and Social Care, Cabinet Office and Ministry of Defence) as part of the drive to increase ventilator supply and support the UK National Health Service (NHS) in its response to the Coronavirus disease global pandemic (Covid-19).
In March 2020, the Prime Minister called on manufacturers to help the UK to step up production of ventilators to support the UK’s response to the virus and save lives. This included working on new or adapted ventilator designs, as well the Government's work to buy ventilators from abroad.
A contract award Notice was published on 25 May 2020 (reference 2020/S 100-243206) covering contracts awarded pursuant to the RMVS programme. This is a second contract award notice that covers contracts awarded thereafter.
This contract was awarded as a result of the RMVS project.
RMVS CANs
Existing CANs relating to the RMVS project are 2020/S 100-243206, 2020/S 167-406004 and 2021/S 002-003456 (RMVS CANs).
Due to the need to  respond rapidly to the emerging situation, some design work, testing, developing and manufacturing was undertaken before a formalised contract with known costs and outputs was put in place between Cabinet Office and those RMVS suppliers at the time of the RMVS CANs.
Instead Cabinet Office gave commitments to those RMVS suppliers to enable those suppliers to support the RMVS project at significant pace and to mitigate those suppliers operating entirely at risk during extremely turbulent and changing circumstances. The RMVS CANs reflected the estimated values as best known at the time and cost caps within which suppliers were operating.
At the time of the RMVS CANs, in order to be as transparent as possible with the market, information available at the time of entering into those commitments was provided, notwithstanding that it was expected to take several months to settle on the final output and resulting contracts.
The RMVS CANs were therefore published to notify the market of the estimated and maximum limits of the commitments Cabinet Office had entered into to support the RMVS project. Where a supplier appears on more than one RMVS CAN, this reflects an increase to the estimate or cost cap previously notified to the market.
This contract is the Ventilator Challenge: Provision of Rapid Manufacture Ventilator Systems (RMVS) resulting from the support by BAE Systems plc to the RMVS project and which is the output of BAE Systems plc appearing on 2020/S 167-406004 of the RMVS CANs.

procurementMethodRationale:
The COVID-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The use of ventilator equipment is critical in treating patients with COVID-19 to take over the body’s breathing process when the disease has caused the lungs to fail and allow the patient time to fight off the infection and recover.
In March the NHS across the UK had access to approximately 8,000 ventilators. Modelling based the trajectory of other European countries forecast the need for significant and extremely rapid increase in the UK ventilator capacity. The Prime Minister set the ambition on 16 March 2020 for industry to manufacture as many new ventilators as possible, recognising that coronavirus is the biggest threat this country had seen for decades and that we faced a moment of national emergency. Significant quantities of extra ventilators would be required to treat seriously ill patients during the first wave of infections. Similar shortfalls in ventilator stocks were identified globally. Pressure to increase manufacturing capacity of ventilators was immense, requiring novel designs and new supply chains to be rapidly created to meet that demand. In these circumstances a procurement following the usual timescales under the PCR 2015, including accelerated options, was impossible. Ventilator manufacturers and supply chains were under immediate and unprecedented global pressure to provide products. A delay in engaging with the market by running a usual procurement process ran the risk of failing to acquire the necessary stock of ventilator equipment and presenting a significant risk to life.
Cabinet Office is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
1. As far as is strictly necessary: The Ventilator Challenge was identified as strictly necessary to meet anticipated demand on the NHS during the first wave of cases in the UK.
2. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to COVID-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
3. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: “The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.” (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 01.04.2020).
4. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: There was no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open, restricted or competitive procedures with negotiation that would allow it to secure delivery of products, particularly in light of the corresponding delays to timelines associated with securing increased manufacturing capacity and component supply within the required timescales.
5. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority: It has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

The Authority, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) is seeking expressions of interest from strategic and operational industry partners for the provision of Radiopharmacy (RP) services which ensure the realisation of the service’s ambition:

To develop a new, purpose-built, GMP compliant Radiopharmaceutical Production Unit for the aseptic manufacture of radiopharmaceuticals. The unit is to realise the productivity and commercial potential of the Radiopharmacy department and become an exemplar NHS Nuclear Medicine Unit providing training and education opportunities to the next generation of Radiopharmacists.

The Unit will ensure equity of patient access to the increasing pipeline of RP diagnostics and therapeutics over the next 15-20 years and deliver the most innovative clinical research at its Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) and Specials licensed facilities.

Radiopharmacy sits in the Integrated and Specialist Medicine (ISM) directorate at GSTT, within CLIMP (Clinical Imaging and Medical Physics), and is part of the Nuclear Medicine Department based in the Borough Wing at Guy’s Hospital. The unit manufactures tracers used in diagnostics scans, which are used to detect a wide range of conditions (including injuries; infections; tumours; heart disease; thyroid abnormalities; and kidney conditions) and also guide some cancer procedures.

Commerical Opportunity
RP has seen significant growth in recent years. Manufacturing service lines have generated £2.5m in billings (fy21/22) and is forecast to generate circa £3m in revenues for fy22/23. We plan to double this within five years and treble revenues within 10 years.

RP is currently unable to realise its potential and increase capacity due to aeging facilities, lack of space and lack of resources. The unit frequently has to turn down opportunities to increase production. This equates to £x00,000s of missed opportunity and unfulfilled orders, per annum. There is huge potential to increase production of radiopharmaceuticals as a number of market forces are currently driving up demand of RP’s services, including:

•	Increased use of theranostic combinations involving Gallium-68 e.g. prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumours (NET) where radiopharmaceuticals are required for screening prior to therapy.
•	Increased demand for routine Gallium-68 based radiopharmaceuticals including Ga-68-PSMA (prostate cancer) and Ga-68-DOTATATE (Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) for diagnostic imaging, (both are commissioned by NHS England).
•	Increased interest in research-based Gallium-68- tracers coming into clinical studies e.g. Ga-68-FAPI.
•	Compromised supply while other units are shut (Guildford, Addenbrookes), due to tighter compliance and regulations, decreasing national capacity to supply radiotracers and increasing demand in compliant units.
•	Lack of capacity in London for blood labelling driving up demand for those able to supply this service.
•	Increased interest in cell tracking for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products including CAR-T cell therapy.
•	Lack of capacity elsewhere for producing radiopharmaceuticals for clinical trials.
•	Increased interest in radiotracers for clinical trials (including novel radiopharmaceuticals emerging from the Imaging Sciences research laboratories at King’s College London).
•	Increased interest in radiopharmaceutical therapies in clinical trials, including Lu-177, Ac-225 and Pb-212

Current Client Base
Our current client base is centred around Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (Nuclear Medicine Department, Guy’s Cancer Centre and the PET centre at St Thomas’ Hospital). Radiopharmaceuticals are also provided daily to King’s College NHS Foundation Trust; their Princess Royal Hospital site in Orpington; and a broad diverse range of private hospitals.

Existing RP services include:
Manufacture of Diagnostic Tc-99m based radiopharmaceuticals
Tc-99m is the most commonly used radioisotope for radiolabelling radiopharmaceuticals and is used for diagnosis of a wide range of medical conditions. The unit currently produces approximately c7000 vials per annum.
Dispensing of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals
The unit prepares non-Tc-99m diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals (including I-123, In-111, Se-75 and Ra-223 based radiopharmaceuticals),
Manufacture of Ga-68 based radiopharmaceuticals
The unit manufactures routine and research Ga-68 radiopharmaceuticals, the most important of which are Ga-68 DOTATE (imaging of neuroendocrine tumours) and Ga-68 PSMA (imaging of prostate cancer).
Blood Cell Labelling
White cells and denatured red cells are radiolabelled on site and then provided to a range of internal departments and external clients. The most common cell labelling conducted is for Red Cell Mass studies and ad hoc white cell-labelling.
Clinical Trials
RP holds a Manufacture of Investigational Medicinal Products licence (MIA(IMP)) and has manufactured novel radiopharmaceuticals for clinical trials, as well as producing radiopharmaceuticals for clinical studies.
eGFR (kidney function) services
RP supports the eGFR service by processing and counting blood samples.

RP’s current manufacturing portfolio can be found in appendix #1

RP current cost modelling
RP costing model considers consumables, staff time, overheads and running costs for the unit in order to calculate cost per unit dose before applying a profit margin to facilitate future investment, maintenance and growth.

The Management Partner is expected to be an organisation experienced in providing outsourcing solutions for the provision of a "client" function to manage Thurrock's housing service.
The Management Partner and Thurrock will enter into the Management Appointment with a comprehensive services schedule setting out the "client" roles expected to be undertaken on Thurrock's behalf, and with an appropriate duty of care given the nature and complexity of the management services.
It is anticipated that the Management Partner will undertake the contractual obligations of Client on Thurrock's behalf in the Term Contract (though Thurrock will be formally named as Client in the Term Contract). It is also anticipated that the Management Partner will undertake the "Alliance Manager" role in the Term Contract (similar to the "employer's agent" role in the JCT contract suite) and will be responsible for issuing works/services orders, approving payments to the Delivery Partner, assessing extension of time requests, certifying completion of the works/services and chairing Core Group meetings.
The requirements however go beyond that of a typical consultancy organisation, whereby the service provision is expected to include the management stock data, development of the capital programme and the production of both corporate reporting and performance reporting in respect of the Works Programme. Prospective bidders would need to be able to both demonstrate relevant capability and experience, but also be comfortable with the scope, nature and legal and commercial implications of the role.
It is anticipated that a number of Thurrock employees who currently undertake "client" functions in respect of Thurrock's current suite of maintenance contracts will be entitled to transfer their employment to the Management Partner, where those "client" duties previously carried out by those employees will now be carried out by the Management Partner. This is expected to include surveying, contract management, inspections and management of the complaints process. This will be confirmed by Thurrock and its legal advisers during the procurement process Additional information: Thurrock are conducting this market engagement to test the proposed Model, and whether it stands a good chance of success in addressing Thurrock’s objectives; identifying any opportunities to adapt the Model or the procurement procedure to achieve this. This includes a need for feedback on the appetite, ability and experience of service providers to take on the roles.

East Renfrewshire Council requires to ensure that the economic operator has the necessary economic and financial capacity to perform and complete the contract. In the current difficult economic environment, the Council seeks to ensure that the contractor who undertakes the works has suitable financial strength and capacity to complete these goods, works or services.
Where an economic operator wishes to be considered for selection under this contract but cannot meet the turnover and/or Credit Safe score of 30 that economic operator must provide financial information which will satisfy the Council that they have an equivalent level of economic and financial standing; and must provide related guarantees or formal assurances to support their right to participate and be considered for any contract award (Regulation 61(8)).

procurementMethodRationale:
The authority published a prior information notice calling for expressions of interest from suppliers who either had an existing or were developing a product  capable of meeting our base performance envelope. We received four responses with the outcomes as follows:
1 - Responded that they could not meet the requirements either now or in the future so were discounted.
2 - Responded that they had a product, but when we requested a meeting to discuss in more detail they confirmed they had no offering and declined our meeting stating this was not something they could supply.
3 - WMH indicated they could meet our requirement.
4 - Another supplier also indicated they could provide a suitable product and we continue to have discussions with them
As it was the authority's intention to purchase more than one manipulator from different suppliers we concluded running a formal tender process was not good use of taxpayers funds and decided on a direct award process to one or both of the two respondents to our PIN, who indicated that they could meet our technical as outlined, this is subject to us assessing the quotes as being VFM..

name: NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT

description:
NHS England and NHS Improvement South East (the Commissioner) sought to commission Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) Services in Avon.
Initially, the commissioner were seeking a provider who can deliver MHTRs focussing on Bristol Magistrates Court.
MHTRs form part of the wider Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTRs) Programme which is a partnership between the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I), Public Health England (PHE) and Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS).
The CSTR Programme aims to develop pathways to enable and facilitate the increased use of all three treatment requirements:
- Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs)
- Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRRs)
- Alcohol Treatment Requirements (ATRs)
ATRs and DRRs in Avon were outside the scope of this procurement, beyond the co-ordination of CSTRs for combined orders. However, there is an expectation that MHTR and ATR & DTR providers will work closely together in the best interests of the service user, especially where it can be identified that a combined order is the best outcome.
MHTR in the context of the CSTR programme is intended for the sentencing of individuals convicted of an offence(s) which has crossed the community order sentencing threshold and may be used as an alternative to short custodial sentences for individuals who may have range of mental health, personality disorder and psychological issues/vulnerabilities which do not require forensic or secondary care treatment.
The aims of the service are to:
• Increase the proportion of offenders with mental health issues for whom an effective mental health treatment plan is in place.
• Reduce re-offending by addressing the underlying causes of offending behaviour.
• Prevent custodial sentences (especially short ones), by offering robust community treatment options.
• Provide tailored mental health support to the most vulnerable offenders. Individuals supported by pilot sites included those who suffered from post-traumatic stress, trauma, bipolar, personality and phobia disorders, psychosis and ASD.
Contracts will be for an initial term of 2 years, with a possible extension of a further one year, as defined and at the discretion of the Commissioner.
The substantive/initial financial envelope relates to delivering an indicative volume of 160 MHTRs annually, primarily to Bristol Magistrates Court.
The Commissioner had a maximum financial envelope of £162,500 per annum for this element.
Services commenced on 01 August 2022.
During the life of the contract, it is likely that the Commissioner will wish to work with the successful provider to 'scale up' the service in order to deliver MHTRs to other Magistrates and Crown Courts across Avon. The additional activity is not guaranteed at this time.
The timing and funding for the scale up will be agreed with the provider based on operational capacity and availability of partnership funding.
The total potential maximum contract value for the 3 year contract (including 1 year extension option and potential scale up) was £780,000.
Further information in regard to the potential 'scale up' of delivery, including indicative activity and budgets, was detailed within the Invitation to Tender document. Additional information: 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).

description: Information technology services

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: TfL compliantly procured a replacement Technology System (Lot 1) and Vehicle Licensing and Inspection Services (Lot 2) as described in the contract notice dated 8th January 2020 (2020/S 007-011424) and subsequent contract award notice (2021/S 000-022441) dated 9 September 2021 ("Replacement Contract").
The new Technology System (Lot 1) is currently in its implementation phase but is unexpectedly not available for operation due to several factors, including but not limited to, delays in final user acceptance testing. TfL is continuing to work with the new provider, to ensure the Technology System is delivered in accordance with TfL's requirements as soon as possible.
The extension to the Contract has become necessary because;
•	a change of provider via a re-procurement would cause a significant inconvenience and cost due to the resource demands, to which the same resources are already dedicated to ensuring the new Technology System is ready as soon as possible.
•	the timescales to re-procure and implement a new service system would be a minimum of 24 months, this cannot be achieved within this gap in services.
•	the cost of another provider developing and implementing a new system would need to be recovered within 12 months for it to be financially sustainable, this means any other provider's solution would be significantly more expensive than extending the current provider.
•	the duration of the extension is up to 12 months and the intention is to move to the new Technology System as soon as possible. The existing system allows this flexibility, and TfL could not offer any alternative service provider any certainty to the duration of this gap in services within this 12 month period.
•	there are no systems products readily available that are capable of meeting TfL's specific requirements, a bespoke system has to accommodate the below;
•	London has unique legislation with distinct differences to what apply to other authorities, for example the Knowledge test, ULEZ & Congestion charge,
•	TfL hand-held devices which is unique to our services, without it, TfL would not be able to carry out on street compliance,
•	Direct system interfaces with third party services including the Post Office, MIS Reporting, QAS (Quick Address Search), Public Register (Licence Checker), Find a Local Minicab, DVSA (VOSA), DVLA, MIB (Motor Insurance Bureau) PRINT Fulfilment (Print Solution Provider), Scanning Solution Provider, Financial Reconciliation, DBS Check Provider, Congestion Charging Exemptions List, Vehicle Inspection Mobile App, Payment Gateway Portal,
•	Securely transfer of nearly 9 terabytes of data held in the current system.
•	Due to the above, alternative systems providers would need a significant amount of development and configuration to do even the most basic of these functions and would take longer than what this extension period is for.
•	if TfL opted not to extend the current licensing system, this would cause significant disruption to the London taxi trade.

description: The modification to which this notice relates is for an extension of time for a period of up to twelve months following the expiry of the Contract on 28 February 2023. This extension is to continue the provision of the current Taxi and Private Hire licensing system, ensuring continuity by Transport for London to meet its statutory obligations as a Licensing Authority. This is an extension of time only for a period to allow time for the new system to go live.
