Below are elements to the programme that WMCA requires consultancy support on from a financial, investor and legal perspective:
1.	Building the prospectus (Budget: £50k – £100k)
We understand the need to bring scale forward to fully realise the opportunity for investment in the natural environment. The WMCA area provides the opportunity for building a project pipeline at scale, but there are also challenges to achieving this in a dense urban area. The consultant will therefore need to support an innovative approach to the development of a project pipeline to reflect the unique size, pressure and nature of our baseline natural capital i.e. we can't just plant trees and deliver BNG. There has been some initial work to pull together some of this, but we would like the focus of the prospectus to do this in a more systematic way and so that it is attractive to investors. Specific tasks will include:
•	Establish the scope (type/definition/scale) of the prospectus and phasing of project development (especially understanding the projects that are ‘ready to go’).
•	Pipeline of investible projects (of different sizes and locations and stages of readiness)
•	The capacity, capability, structures, systems and processes required for projects including a difficulty/availability/timescale to delivery rating to inform implementation.
•	Data on the specific impact of investment (both natural environment benefits, but also co-benefits) – including a review of existing tools and methodologies for determining these metrics and understanding of the income potential from investment into natural environment.
2.	Building the Fund  (Budget: £300k - £380k)
The aim of this work will enable us to understand the necessary conditions we need to have in place to give investors confidence in the region’s ability to develop and deliver natural capital projects and coordinate through a Fund; we will do this by building an investor panel as a point of contact throughout the project – this should be drawn from expertise already in the sector and through the contacts of the consultants and stakeholders supporting the project. The specific elements are:
•	Scoping the demand-side through understanding the role of standards and accreditation, regulation, legislation, mechanisms and the emerging policy horizon in natural environment investing.
•	The current maturity of investment options, their applicability to the prospectus and its stakeholders.
•	The opportunity to blend different approaches to financing effectively – drawing on multiple sources to provide scale.
•	Understanding the potential for outcome buying as it relates to investment in the natural environment.
•	Investor panel co-design of the prospectus to ensure projects are effective investible propositions.
•	Understanding the options, scope and purpose of a Fund as well as the recommended route based on pros and cons suitable to the WMCA stakeholder and investment needs
•	Proceed to establishing an effective legal, governance and operations model for managing the Fund.
•	Set up the Fund.
In addition to this, we will look to use the DEFRA project funding to bring forward two projects to be ready for investment by March 2025. This will involve working with the stakeholder community to accelerate two projects and prove and iterate the region’s approach.
3.	Communications and dissemination work (Budget: £45k-£50k)
•	Project events (e.g. ‘meet the investor’)
•	Design and dissemination of the investment prospectus
•	Community of practice engagement and learning events
•	Preparation of case studies, evaluation and lessons learnt reports to be shared on WMCA website, with a concluding set of case studies and a final report published by 31 March 2025.
•	End of project event/ Fund launch Additional information: If you are interested in this opportunity, could you express an interest to Mike Webb at Mike.Webb@wmca.org.uk by 2pm on 26th May 2023, then you will receive a set of soft market test questions for further communication.

description: The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is for soft market testing for Local Investment in Natural Capital (LINC), we are engaging early with the market to understand how we might structure this procurement and what might be achievable within the budget envelope. The project will be working primarily with the WMCA ‘constituent’ local authorities (those identified as ‘members with full voting rights here: https://www.wmca.org.uk/who-we-are/).

description:
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) published its Natural Environment Plan (NEP) in September 2021 . This was produced in collaboration with stakeholders from the public and third sectors and sets out significant ambition to enhance and restore the natural environment across the WMCA, for the benefit of the region’s ecosystems but also people and communities. More recently, the WMCA Environment Team has also led a piece of work to identify how a nature-based solutions approach can build resilience to the effects of climate change .

Since the publication of the NEP there have been several advances in the government’s approach to nature recovery and the WMCA is working with both the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and Natural England (NE) on initiatives and projects that will deliver regional scale outcomes nature recovery, climate mitigation and climate adaptation.  With this increased scope of work and deliverables the WMCA’s natural environment programme has attracted additional funding from central government to deliver against national targets and initiatives.

Understanding the different routes to financing projects and programmes at scale will be essential. The NEP therefore indicated the need to develop a Natural Capital Investment Plan and explore new finance mechanisms, e.g., leveraging of private sector finance, taking on board the Dasgupta Review recommendations. In recognition of this ambition, the DEFRA invited the WMCA to submit and apply for a grant and join the Local Investment in Natural Capital (LINC) programme as part of the recent devolution deal.  The WMCA has been awarded a grant of £1,000,000 to be used to progress the development of natural capital investment in the West Midlands region.
The focus of the WMCA’s LINC project is to understand how we might combine different financing and funding mechanisms, at scale, so that delivery of natural environment projects in the region becomes sustainable in every sense of the word. This includes building organisational knowledge and capacity so that we learn how to deliver this kind of investment in an ongoing way, integrating with other agendas such as Levelling Up and net zero.  The ambition of the LINC programme, is to enable the public sector (and their third sector partners) to become more market-facing with their projects and programmes to deliver the NEP. The LINC programme will enable the WMCA to be in a state of readiness to attract funding by 31st Jan 2025, through building the capacity, effective governance arrangements and capability of local leaders and partner organisations.

Since 2019 the Government have shown an increasing commitment to exploring the use of hydrogen as a solution for decarbonizing transport, industry and heat.
On 27th October 2022 the GB Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) were issued a letter by Ofgem and BEIS (The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy) inviting them to put forward high level proposals for Town Pilot locations. These proposals must have the ability to provide and convert to hydrogen up to 20,000 properties comprising a mix of domestic, industrial and commercial by the end of 2030. Additionally, BEIS have requested that each location demonstrate the ability to undertake a phased scale up to convert up to 200,000 properties comprising a mix of domestic, industrial and commercial by 2037.
Submission for Town Pilot locations must be returned to BEIS no later than 20th January 2023. NGN are intending to submit 3 Town Pilot locations to BEIS which NGN believe meet the criteria that BEIS have set in terms of scalability and range of users converted.
The locations proposed are based within the regions of Humberside, Teesside & West Yorkshire
Modelling for each of the locations has been completed providing the expected hydrogen demand for end users within the initial Town Pilot location and at the end of the subsequent wider roll out. The hydrogen demand for each location is detailed below:
Tonnes per year Humberside 44,006, Teesside 58,850, West Yorkshire 51,898
NGN are currently developing submissions for each location and are releasing this expression of interest to identify potential hydrogen production partners within the chosen regions.
Hydrogen production facilities would need to be situated within the regions and have the capability of providing all or a percentage of the Town Pilot and eventual scale up demands as detailed above. Additionally, production facilities would need to be producing hydrogen by early 2030.

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is entering a multi-year decommissioning programme of the Joint European Torus (JET) experimental fusion machine at the end of 2023 under the JET Decommissioning and Repurposing Programme. One of the key existing systems that have historically provided additional power to the Fusion machine will no longer be required for their primary purpose and an opportunity exists to repurpose the equipment for alternative use. A preliminary feasibility study has identified that the Flywheel Generator Convertors (FGCs) could be repurposed to provide inertia as part of the National Grid Stability Services (ESO).
The two Flywheel Generator Convertors (FGCs) can each supply 2600 MJ to their respective magnet load coils with a peak power of 410 MVA. Each flywheel generator is currently independently operated and used as energy storage for Joint European Torus (JET) pulses. They are driven by 8 MW pony motors with the flywheel output diode rectified for up to 400 MW DC output. A concept has been developed to connect the flywheel to the 400 kV transmission network via Culham’s existing connection.
Stability services are vital for the safe and secure operation of the electricity network, it is expected that the flywheels could provide more than 5 GW.s of inertia.
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to establish third party interest in this opportunity, said parties recognising the need for investment to upgrade and then operate the JET flywheels for grid load balancing.
To enable interested parties to understand more about this opportunity please confirm if you would like to attend a site visit at the UKAEA Culham facility via the attached registration questionnaire.
This visit will allow interested parties to view the facility which houses the flywheel generators and meet technical and commercial representatives from UKAEA.
Please refer to attached document for further information and registration for the site visit.

Breathing Space is a debt respite scheme which provides protection for people living in England and Wales who are in debt. This includes pausing enforcement action and contact from creditors, and freezing interest and charges on clients' debts. Individuals receiving mental health crisis treatment can enter a Mental Health Crisis Breathing Space (MHCBS). Within this, debt advice providers can enter individuals into MHCBS after receiving evidence they are receiving crisis treatment.
 More information on Breathing Space can be found in the government:
Guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/debt-respite-scheme-breathing-space-guidance/debt-respite-scheme-breathing-space-guidance-for-money-advisers
Regulations: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2020/9780348209976/contents
 The Breathing Space policy, covering England and Wales, is owned by HM Treasury. MaPS has been funding a pilot to take MHCBS referrals specifically in England since May 2021, and now intends to procure a longer-term service to replace the pilot. MaPS intends the new service to begin mobilisation on 1st January 2024, and would expect the service to be completely up and running by 1st April 2024.
The pilot has three core functions:
Processing referrals for MHCBS: assessing clients' eligibility for Breathing Space and if appropriate entering them into it (in accordance with the regulations)
Proactively engaging with the client during/ following their crisis treatment - understanding their needs, informing them on their options and connecting them to appropriate help (including to debt advice).
Giving debt advice during or after clients' crisis treatment (where appropriate).
Most referrals are sent by healthcare professionals, but the pilot also supports clients of other debt advice providers to enter MHCBS.
At this stage, MaPS anticipates the new service principally undertaking the three core functions of the pilot, which focus on clients who qualify for MHCBS.
However, MaPS is interested in exploring whether there would be a merit in the service supporting the debt advice sector in other ways. For example, giving debt advice to clients who do not meet the eligibility criteria for MHCBS but who do have severe mental health problems and complex needs that warrant specialist debt advice, or providing support to other advice providers serving clients with complex mental health needs.
MaPS will be seeking feedback from potential bidders and other relevant stakeholders on key design principles of the service and on how the service can add value to the debt advice landscape.
The service will need to meet the requirements of the FCA (Finance Conduct Authority) approved MaPS Standards:
https://moneyandpensionsservice.org.uk/money-and-pensions-service-standards/
A successful bidder shall be required to evidence that the MaPS Standards are met and that the required systems and controls are in place to achieve compliance through a range of monitoring mechanisms. The service will need to be designed with consideration of the MaPS Standards and provide assurance that the Quality frameworks being used by delivery partners whether internal or external are effective, robust and in line with expectations.
 The service will also need to be able to cater for the specific needs of people with severe mental health problems. Evidence on this has been gathered throughout the pilot and will be shared with the market in due course.
The budget for the service will be determined by the specification, which will be developed based on consultation with the market and stakeholders within the debt and health sectors. Spend for the current pilot has ranged from £1.1m - £1.3m per annum. The proposed length of the agreement will be communicated to potential bidders in April/ early May.
MaPS would welcome multi-organisational bids i.e., Bidders who collaborate, whether as Lead Organisation / Supply Chain Partner, Consortium or Partnership model, to deliver the service outcomes. In such instances where the organisations are not a single legal entity, potential bidders must note that MaPS would anticipate entering into a single agreement with a lead bidder/ entity which has been nominated to take responsibility. The lead bidder will in turn need to have their own legally binding (or appropriate) agreements with their partners which comply with the requirements outlined in the agreement with MaPS.
Organisations delivering debt advice must hold the relevant FCA authorisation (to provide debt advice) unless they have a valid FCA-authorised exemption. However, organisations wishing to take part in the bidding process do not need to have received FCA authorisation to bid or to act as a consortium lead during the delivery of services but must ensure the delivery partners include providers who will be FCA authorised by the time they give debt advice.
Organisations receiving Breathing Space referrals and entering clients into Breathing Space must meet the definition of debt advice provider set out in the Breathing Space regulations.
Prospective providers are advised that the FCA authorisation process can take up to 12 months. Visit the FCA website to find out more: https://www.fca.org.uk/ Additional information: SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT EVENT -
MaPS plans to hold a supplier engagement session on 28th March 2023.
The session will provide an opportunity for prospective bidders/ providers and other debt and health stakeholders to:
find out more about the aims of the proposed service, the procurement process involved
have the opportunity to network with others and make useful contacts
share views on opportunities and challenges in relation to this service
MaPS will use the opportunity to gather intelligence which may influence development of the requirements.
To attend the engagement session on the 28th of March 2023, interested organisations and/or individuals should register using the following link:-
https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/MhDku86PQk26tUTiFRCIbQ,AButJ2w2V062EMK4OKy2UQ,Cot66rh6kU-dCd2l2Y0VpA,YtGLCydHnkyTHXLtq5Y7YA,d7o6w_maH0eRmG592iN4NA,IJK9kFK4FkiS2b6i_EMQ4g?mode=read&tenantId=bbe41032-8fce-4d42-bab5-44e21510886d
MaPS reserves the right not to proceed with the Procurement or any part thereof, or to change the requirements as necessary at any time. The ITT (Invitation to Tender) is expected to be published in August 2023 (may be subject to change). A Contract Notice will be issued.

description: Provision of Occupational Health services for employees of London Fire Brigade to ensure the continued provision of health, safety and welfare of all its Employees as its most valuable resource.

procurementMethod: limited

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

procurementMethodRationale:
This notice relates to the award of a new contract without prior publication pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(c) and (b)(ii) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the reasons set out in this Section IV 1.1.  Namely that the direct award of the new contract is strictly necessary for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable to LFB and the time limit for the open, restricted or competitive procedures cannot be complied with.  Further that due to the nature of the IT systems required for the provision of the Services and the time scales involved only the incumbent contractor is able to provide the services and IT solutions within the required timescales and as such competition is absent for technical reasons.
Regulation 32(2)(c) PCR has been satisfied for the following reasons:
The London Fire Commissioner's current contract for occupational health services is due to cease on 4th March 2024. LFB commenced a procurement for a new contract due to commence in March 2024. However due to unforeseen issues arising during the procurement exercise, that tender exercise was abandoned.  There is insufficient time to procure a new contract, following an open, restricted or competitive procedure, and for the IT solution to be implemented before the expiry of the current contract.
The service is a critical service for LFB employees and a break in service provision is not a viable option.  From the aborted procurement exercise it is clear to LFB that contractors require a period of between 42 and 52 weeks for implementation of a new IT system which, with the support of LFB, would have to be implemented prior to the commencement of the services, in addition the new contractor will need to acquire/lease suitable premises for the provision of the Services.  The timescales available between now and the expiry of the current contract do not permit this.
In order to ensure the service may continue without interruption it is concluded that only the current contractor, Health Management Limited, is capable of providing the services within the timescales available.  LFB intends to directly award a short-term contract to the incumbent supplier, whilst a new open tender exercise is re-started for a longer-term contract.
LFB considers that a 12-month contract will provide sufficient time for the concurrent procurement exercise to conclude and a new IT infrastructure/system to be implemented to ensure a go live date of the new service on 5th March 2025.
Further it is considered that pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons for the following reasons:
As set out above the IT infrastructure and implementation is likely to take between 42 and 52 weeks to implement.  The current contract expires on 4th March 2024 and therefore there is insufficient time to implement a new system to align with the current contract.  The current LFB IT solutions are bespoke systems and an alternative supplier would not be in a position to take over and implement a new integrated system. Accordingly the only provider who would be in a position to commence the services on 5th March 2024 would be the incumbent contractor and as such competition is absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute solution exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.  As described above, the aborted procurement has demonstrated that the services can only be provided by the incumbent contractor from 5th March 2024.

description: Understanding Mobile Coverage and Services - Soft Market Testing EventTo whom it may concern,Mobile phone usage and coverage remains an integral and expected service for consumers ubiquitously, regardless of their location. Local Authorities recognise the value and importance of digital infrastructure which supports, not only their own digital delivery objectives, but furthermore, enables a wider social and economic value, particularly in the more rural county communities.Worcestershire County Council, in collaboration with Herefordshire Council, Shropshire Council and Staffordshire County Council, is organising a Market Testing event to understand services that the market can enable to capture, monitor and analyse mobile phone coverage and services (2G, 3G, 4G and 5G) across the specified geography, broken down to a more detailed level for each of the councils. We would like to invite suitable organisations or collaborations to participate in this market consultation event which will allow the councils to investigate possible options (e.g. potential technologies, partnership arrangements and delivery models) to inform our approach, either individually or collectively, to support the development of a procurement strategy/strategies, leading ultimately to information that can help the Local Authorities improve mobile phone consumer experiences and coverage efficiencies from the marketplace. The market testing event has been arranged for Monday 30 January 2023 and will be attended by senior representatives from each council to set out the collective and individual visions and opportunities including an open forum to answer supplier questions. There will be individual opportunities for a one-to-one meeting after the main session ends (closed forum). Please indicate whether you would like to take advantage of the one-to-one session in your response by emailing the address below.For additional context, Worcestershire County Council as the host organisation, has previously undertaken benchmarking assessments, in 2017 and 2019, to understand mobile coverage and performance across the county. We now want to understand suggested methodologies to create an ongoing and dynamic view (data and voice) across participating counties. That will allow us to engage with mobile network operators, Ofcom, DCMS etc. to establish plans to improve the experience of our residents and businesses. Further information and details of the venue will follow shortly. If you are interested in this market testing event, by responding to procurement@worcestershire.gov.uk before the 25st January 2023Please note, this is not a formal request for applications to tender at this stage.  Its purpose is to inform our procurement approach.

The Neutral Vendor will be capable of delivering goods and services via its supply chain of Technology Providers across fourteen technology areas.  The Neutral Vendor will not provide technological goods or services in its own right and must maintain and evidence neutrality when selecting suitable specialist Technology Providers to deliver the required goods and/or services under the scope.  The Neutral Vendor will offer ancillary services to facilitate the provision of the required goods and services in the scope from Technology Providers.
Further detail of the ancillary services to be provided by the Neutral Vendor and the technology areas within scope can be found in the PQQ.
The Ministry of Defence intends to make this Framework available for use by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations.  The authorised user list can be found in the PQQ.
It is highly recommended that Tenderers review the document "Introduction to the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation (NVFi)" and the Statement of Requirement (Annex A of the ITN) before preparing their responses.
To register your interest in this tender and access the PQQ documents as well as further useful supporting information, please register for the Defence Sourcing Portal (www.contracts.mod.uk), and search for the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation. Quantity or scope: This requirement is not split into lots.  The Framework Contract will be awarded to a single supplier.
This Framework is initially let for two years, with the option to extend for a further two years subject to relevant approvals.
The initial maximum total value of the call-off contracts placed under the NVFi is set at £50,000,000.  There may be scope for this to increase up to £400,000,000 without further competition subject to relevant government departmental approvals.
The Ministry of Defence does not give any guarantee and/or warrant the actual value of services that will be placed with the Neutral Vendor by any Framework User accessing the Framework Contract pursuant to this process and accepts no liability thereof.

title: Lot 1 Remediation - Selection

description: Optional break at year 9

description:
Lot 1 - two Remediation Partners (Sellafield’s intention is that one of the Remediation Partners will be required to work inside of the high security area (“HSA”) and the other Remediation Partner will work outside of the HSA);

Remediation is about cleaning up the Sellafield site over the next century as safely and cost-effectively as possible. As an asset reaches the end of its operational life, remediation addresses the nuclear, radiological and conventional risks through post-operation clean-out, decommissioning, demolition and land remediation. The focus of waste informed nuclear decommissioning up to 2040 includes clearing redundant buildings to make land available for beneficial re-use and preparing to decommission the UK’s oldest nuclear reactor complexes and nuclear fuel handling facilities.
Lot 1 will consist of two Remediation Partners. The Remediation value stream will have a growing scope as more and more of the Sellafield site moves from operations into remediation and decommissioning. This will be reflected in a growing investment over the lifetime of the DNWP framework, subject to annual public sector funding constraints.

title: Lot 2 Retrievals Ponds - Selection

description: Optional Break at Year 9

description:
Lot 2 will consist of a Ponds Partner, encompassing both the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond (“FGMSP”) , associated buildings and the Pile Fuel Storage Pond (“PFSP”).   and associated buildings.

Legacy Ponds is the Operating Unit (OU) organisation within the Retrievals value stream of Sellafield that is charged with managing the programmes of work for the FGMSP and the PFSP.  These are two legacy nuclear storage ponds that retain significant radiological materials and hazards that require timely mitigation, principally by retrieving the materials to downstream treatment and storage/disposal facilities while maintaining a safe and secure environment.

title: Lot 3 Retrievals Silos - Selection

description: Optional break at Year 9

description: Lot 3 will consist of a Silos Partner, encompassing both the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (“MSSS”) and Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (“PFCS”). The Retrievals value stream is responsible for managing the site’s major hazard and risk reduction programme: retrieving the waste from Sellafield’s four highest risk legacy storage facilities. These buildings have traditionally presented some of the greatest challenges on the Sellafield site, but major progress is now being made on retrieving waste from the two ponds and the MSSS, with final preparations being made to retrieve waste from the PFCS.

title: Lot 4 Integrated Nuclear Waste Partner - Selection

description: Optional Break at Year 9

description: Lot 4 will consist of a single enterprise-wide Integrated Nuclear Waste Partner. This Nuclear Waste Partner will work through the Waste Operating Unit (“Waste OU”). The Waste OU is part of the Remediation Portfolio, it includes a dedicated programme providing enabling activities across the Sellafield enterprise with major customers being the DNWP Remediation & Retrievals Partners.

title: Decommissioning Nuclear Waste Partnership (DNWP)

text: Please find this opportunity in Atamis under Record Reference C11759.

periodRationale: 15 years reflects the extended mobilisation and ramp up involved as well as the exceptional nature of the key programmes that will drive high hazard risk reduction that the DNWP Framework will deliver, in particular for bulk retrievals. A 15-year term is considered necessary to provide the Partners with the confidence to sustainably invest in technologies and critical skills to support delivery.

description:
Sellafield Ltd, through the Decommissioning and Nuclear Waste Partners (DNWP) Framework opportunity, is seeking to bring together five partners across four Lots to provide a full suite of expertise and support to deliver decommissioning activities and projects, including asset care. Delivery will be across nuclear facilities on the Sellafield licenced site that are in mix of states including operational, post operation clean out (POCO), decommissioning and demolition. Consequently, the scope of work for the DNWP Framework will include construction delivery, demolition related works, associated technical services (including safety case and design) and waste management with the scope aligned across the following four Lots:

•	Lot 1 Remediation:
o	Partner 1 - within High Security Areas
o	Partner 2 - outside High Security Areas
•	Lot 2 Pond Retrievals Partner
•	Lot 3 Silos Retrievals Partner
•	Lot 4 Integrated Nuclear Waste Partner

reviewDetails: The review procedure is as provided for in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

description: Construction work

description: In accordance with Regulations 57, 58 and 60 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Candidates will be assessed on the basis of the information provided in response to the Selection Questionnaire (SQ).

description: Against the criteria as stated in the procurement pack accessed on Atamis

Sellafield Ltd

description: Body governed by public law

description: Nuclear Decommissioning

description:
The estimated value of the DNWP Framework is stated at II.1.5.1 which is the upper end of the anticipated range of £3.8bn-£4.6bn for the 15-year framework duration.  This range recognises the challenge of estimating the total value of a framework arrangement with longevity and that has the potential to be impacted by the UK Nuclear strategy, the strategy of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and associated HMG funding, the strategy of Sellafield Ltd as well as the potential variability arising from factors including, but not limited to, the conditions of the nuclear facilities, costs, inflationary impacts, options for technical solutions and innovation etc.

The DNWP Framework will be the successor to the existing Decommissioning Delivery Partnership (DDP) framework which will expire in March 2026, albeit task and project delivery may run beyond the DDP framework expiry.  The DNWP Framework will have an initial mobilisation period and it is anticipated that in line with the call-off contract arrangements that delivery of task and project activity may run beyond the expiry date of the DNWP Framework.

As stated in section II.1.4, and as further developed in the procurement pack (accessed via the Atamis portal), the capabilities of each of the DNWP Partners are identified in the scope.  It is anticipated that the Partners will be required to put in place subcontracting arrangements to support delivery of the scope that forms part of this procurement and that the subcontracting arrangements will not be subject to competition via the Find a Tender service.   Sellafield Ltd also has in place, and through the term of the DNWP Framework will procure, site-wide contractual arrangements which may be utilised to support the delivery by the Partners.

Please refer to Selection Stage and Award restrictions in the SQ and ITT instructions.

Sellafield Ltd supports the One NDA way of working and may share relevant information related to the DNWP Framework with members of the NDA group.  Additionally, in the exceptional circumstances, (which are defined within the DNWP framework agreement) that a DNWP Partner is required to support at another site licenced company within the NDA group then with prior approval of the DNWP Programme Board a DNWP Partner may be provided with relief to a key performance indicator where such deployment impacts upon a DNWP programme.

Sellafield Ltd is committed to delivering social impact with the successful DNWP Partners required to contribute to our strategy.

The DNWP contract opportunity has been developed with input from market engagement activity which has been driven through prior information notices (“PIN”).  Information related to this engagement can be found in the DNWP archive within Atamis (ATAMIS portal ref C13375):

procurementMethodRationale:
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations.  Explanation:
This Contract Award Notice is published under the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015.
It is for clinical services which are Light Touch Regime services for the purpose of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ('Regulations') as specified in Schedule 3 of the Regulations.
Accordingly, the contracting authority is only bound by those parts of the Regulations detailed in Chapter 3 Particular Procurement Regimes Section 7. The contracting authority is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations.
Justification of award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition is justified in the cases listed below:
The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
These contracts are contract modifications and are to be awarded under PCR 2015 Regulation 32 (1) (b) (ii), where the service can be supplied only by particular economic operators currently delivering the services, and no reasonable alternative exists, without considerable disruption to patient care.
These contracts are therefore awarded on a 1 year to provide essential continuity for patients.
The contract modification awards will ensure partnership working continues between the NHS Trust and the Independent Sector that will deliver crucial benefits, and minimise unnecessary disruption for patients at a time of great turmoil within the NHS, whilst longer term pathways are planned. This will also deliver essential financial efficiencies across the local health economy.

The City of London Police is looking to conduct a soft market testing exercise (SMT) as part of the NPCC Cybercrime Programme for Blockchain forensic investigation software as a service (SaaS) to be used throughout the UK by 43 police forces and ROCUs (Regional Organised Crime Units) as well as other law enforcement agencies.  This service should include a full blockchain forensic investigation capability as well as a blockchain identifier triage capability. We are looking for a service that evolves with the rapid innovation in this area to keep UK law enforcement at the cutting edge of blockchain investigation.

The full blockchain forensic investigation capability should cluster addresses using proven heuristics, support all popular blockchains, tokens and non-fungible tokens, have industry leading attribution to known entities and support automated cross chain/asset tracing.

The triage capability should cover a wide range of blockchains, tokens and NFTs. It should ingest a range of blockchain identifiers including but not limited to, addresses, transaction hashes, and extended public keys. It should use automated tracing across blockchains and tokens to producing a single comprehensive intelligence report that can inform investigative decisions.
