Essex County Council’s (the Council) current Highways Strategic Transformation Contract (Highways Contract) ends on the 31st March 2027 with no further option to extend.

Market engagement event
The launch event will be held in person in Essex on the 5th July 2023.

title: Essex County Council - Future Highways Provision

description:
Essex County Council (ECC) has begun scoping out the challenges and opportunities for the highways service in Essex beyond the current contract, which runs to the end of March 2027. The council is looking carefully at what service will be required from April 2027 to deliver ECC’s priorities in maintaining and improving the network of highways across the county, as well as contributing to the council’s aspirations around the environment, climate change and net zero, and levelling up the economy.
As part of this work, a series of hybrid (online and in-person) market engagement events are being planned to allow businesses delivering highways maintenance solutions to find out more about where ECC is in this discovery process, and will be an opportunity for council officers working on the programme to listen and learn about what the industry has to offer, in terms of new technology and innovation, sustainability, decarbonisation, social value, and potential income generation opportunities… to name a few.
The first of these engagement events will be held in early July 2023, where the highways industry is invited to learn more about working with ECC, the council's ambitions and commitments. Please register your interest to obtain further information about the launch event.

We have improvements to make but we have made definite progress in the employee engagement space. In 2017 we applied for an accreditation from Investors in People, and we were awarded silver level accreditation, which only 5% of employers achieve on their first attempt.
As we reset post a period of significant change, we want suppliers that can support us, helping us to deliver excellent communications that resonate with our workforce, wherever they are.
It is vital that the suppliers who are awarded a place on the framework agreement have similar philosophies to us and understands the importance of our people and the service we provide for our communities, as well as just how significant health, safety, environment and continual improvement is to our business now and in the future.
Scope of the Contractor's Work
Overview
Wales & West Utilities Limited is looking to appoint creative design, strategic communications, and employee engagement agencies to support the delivery of our internal communications and engagement strategy.
WWU does not currently have a contract for these services in place.
Wales & West Utilities are tendering this contract now as they wish to get the appropriate level of support in place at a challenging time in the energy sector - with increasing focus on sustainability and the future of energy, security of supply, and cost to customers.
Internally, after a period of disruption and change driven by business change to address our new price control and the pandemic, we are focused on settling our business and our colleagues and looking towards the future. This sits alongside our day-to-day activity to communicate the work we do to keep the gas flowing safely to communities across Wales and southwest England.
The Requirement
Potential providers must make sure that they are able to meet the following specification for the delivery to WWU:
•	We intend to put in place a framework agreement with more than one supplier.
•	The intention is to contract for an initial term of 3 years with the option to extend for further four years via four 12-month increments.
•	The successful providers will be working closely with the Internal Communications team which is a small team of two individuals. On a day-to-day basis this would involve emails, telephone calls and virtual meetings with our Internal Communications Manager and Communications & Colleague Engagement Officer.
•	We recently evolved the brand that has been positively received by customers and colleagues alike. We have new brand guidelines in place. Potential providers should demonstrate their ability to interpret, evolve, grow, and broaden this brand across internal digital, print and other channels. To facilitate this, we will share our brand guidelines and specifications.
•	As part of this contract, we expect to request the following services:
-	Internal communications campaign development/delivery
-	Internal communication brand/design support
-	Strategic employee communications/engagement delivery
-	Delivery and analysis of output of employee engagement surveys.
We are a small team with a large remit and therefore being able to work effectively and efficiently with our suppliers is paramount. It is crucial that both parties understand and agree on deliverables and deadlines and that high levels of communication are always maintained.
Potential providers should set out an organisational chart that is realistic and lays out the structure of their proposed client team. We would expect openness and transparency in the roles of each team member throughout the contracted period.
Our team at Wales & West Utilities
-	We have around 2000 colleagues - broadly split into two distinct groups: approx. 1600 operational staff delivering engineering work, and approx. 400 head office support staff (Finance, Customer Service, HR, etc)
-	Our Operations team is built around four main processes: responding to gas emergencies, connecting new homes and businesses to the gas network, maintaining our above ground installations, and upgrading the gas network so its fit for the future.
-	We have a number of agency and contractor staff which presents challenges from an internal communications perspective.
-	Of our colleagues, only 17% are female, while a large number have worked for the company (and our predecessors) for over 30 years
-	Following the Coronavirus pandemic, we have introduced a hybrid working policy, which enables our office-based colleagues to work from home for up to 50% of the working week
-	We have recently completed two significant business change exercises:
o	Voluntary Redundancy
o	Insourcing of Operational Contractors: we insourced approx. 600 engineering colleagues in 2021-2 to deliver our gas pipe upgrade programme
-	A significant business transformation programme is ongoing. The Link programme hopes to change many of our IT systems and business processes.
-	There are a number of factors which mean we face some engagement challenges here at WWU; some which are unique to us, others which are a result of external factors.
o	 Back office/home based working vs operational working across disparate locations across a national border.
o	A broad literacy range.
o	A wide-ranging spectrum of IT literacy
o	A change-fatigued workforce (Covid and significant business change simultaneously)
o	A shift in expectations means that colleagues expect more from the workplace - which has changed culturally due to hybrid working.

description: The College of Life & Environmental Sciences require the purchase of a micro-computed tomography (CT) scanner, for use primarily by the Palaeobiology research group for the analysis of fossils. The CT scanner that is sought is from a single supplier, Nikon, due to the unique setup of this system including two interchangeable reflection and rotating X-ray sources. The group does not currently have access to CT scanning facilities within the University of Birmingham. Current scanning is done at other facilities within the UK, which is not practical for many requirements, and there are no facilities within the UK that can facilitate some required experimental setups. This CT scanner represents new technology, including the latest in X-ray generation technology and next-generation panel detectors providing superior imaging.

title: Procurement of a Nikon Metrology XT H 225 X-ray CT system

description: Tomography devices

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
The Nikon Metrology XT H 225 ST 2x X-ray CT system (hereafter Nikon XTH225ST2x) is a versatile CT scanner with a wide range of applications across palaeobiology, life sciences and related fields. The system has two interchangeable reflection and rotating X-ray sources that can be easily changed by the operator, offering the ultimate in flexibility for research work. These two independent sources permit high resolution micro-computed tomography of a broad range of materials from low-density biological samples to high-density fossils; the 225kV rotating source is unique to this genre of systems, offering unparalleled performance. High resolution CT of samples (minimum spot size 3 micrometres) can be maintained even at the high energies typically required to scan rock specimens, up to 225 kilovolts. The X-ray sources are both microfocus, representing the latest in X-ray generation technology. Furthermore, the open-tube source designs give easy access to the source, resulting in easy maintenance, high performance, and a low cost of ownership. Auto.Filament Control can also double the lifetime of the filament without having to resort to long-life filaments, which can lower the resolution of the scan. This facilitates the very long scans that are critical to the group's research, while also improving system availability.
The Nikon XTH225ST2x is capable of handling samples up to 50kg with a large swept CT diameter of 265mm. It is also equipped with a large (430 x 430 mm; 2880 x 2880 pixels), high specification Varex XRD4343CT detector panel. Multiple scans of taller samples can be 'stitched' together using the X.tend helical scan software to produce a single image with no cone beam artefacts. Combined with a large chamber, this allows a wide range of large, heavy, and technically challenging specimens to be CT scanned at high resolution with good x-ray penetration, beyond the capacity of other CT scanners. It includes a motorised FID (Focus to Imager distance) that provides maximum flexibility in magnification and 3D spatial resolution while also improving signal-to-noise ratio.
Members of the group have used Nikon setups at other institutions for over a decade, as well as other scanners, and are familiar with a range of instruments and their applications. While external facilities no longer meet the group's requirements for practical reasons relating to transport of specimens and scanning times, no other instrument matches the technical capabilities of the Nikon XTH225ST2x. In addition to the 225kV rotating source, which is exclusive to the Nikon XTH225ST2x in this class of systems, the ability to manipulate FID, adjust all X-ray and scanning parameters, use offset CT, and accommodate large and heavy specimens within the sample chamber uniquely meet the group's needs. A custom advanced filtration kit of copper, tin, silver and aluminium in a range of thicknesses also provides the opportunity to further adjust x-ray properties depending on the sample, ultimately improving transmission and dataset quality.
Nikon have a long working relationship with the University of Birmingham and can offer value for money and ongoing support. XTH systems are designed, manufactured and supported from a UK factory at Tring, Hertfordshire. Therefore, a rapid response can be provided to any technical enquiries, with support from UK engineers based locally. Use of the instrumentation, including both CT data acquisition and reconstruction, is straightforward for users. The propriety InspectX software control allows for easy set-up of the system, which is especially important in this situation, where multiple users will use the system on an infrequent basis. This provides even more versatility for a range of applications and is unique on the market in terms of its control and customisation.

description: The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in construction and procurement delivery (CPD) for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, this may be considered grounds for termination of the contract at your expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract. In lieu of termination, CPD may issue a Notice of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance. A supplier in receipt of multiple Notices of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance may, in accordance with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended), be excluded from future public procurement competitions for a period of up to three years..


description: Bidders are advised that this service will be commissioned under an initial five (5) year term with the option to extend for a further two (2) years at the Council’s discretion; thereby resulting in a maximum possible contract duration of seven (7) years.

The Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) is material to the social fabric of communities. Encouraging social inclusion and contributing to community cohesion and health outcomes for residents, by galvanising community action and developing resilience in communities. Engaged communities are our most powerful agents of change for the creation of a thriving Essex for the benefit of residents.
Essex County Council (ECC) is committed to investment into the infrastructure that supports the VCS. This support aims to create the conditions for communities to thrive by building capacity and resilience within the VCS, supporting community volunteering, facilitating collaboration and partnership working, and advocating for the VCS within the wider system.
ECC is seeking to procure a collaborative, transformational and flexible VCS infrastructure offer, that delivers capacity building and system working support, identified as important by the VCS and Statutory Partners. An offer that brings together the skills and expertise to deliver the organisation’s ambitions for Essex communities, for the benefit of residents. Additional information: The value given in the contract notice for the five-year contract period must not exceed £3,258,370. There is scope for potential additional investment from system partners of up to 15% which equates to £488,755.50 which totals £3,747,125.50.
In addition for the two year contract extension (based on the assumption on the same level of funding subject to governance) this equates to £1,303,348 over the two years there is also scope for additional investment from system partners of up 15% which equates to £195,502.20 which totals £1,498,850,20.
Any requirements for variations would be dealt with as a contract variation under the terms of the contract. Therefore for absolute clarity the stated estimated contract value of £5,245,975.70 reflects the maximum contractual value including the options to extend and the additional financial scope.
For the avoidance of any further doubt, this contractual value is based on an annual value of up to £651,674 for the five-year contract period.
