CONTEXT: INDEPENDENT LEAD REVIEWERS FRAMEWORK
The Scottish Government published Learning Review Guidance for public protection in 2022 and Learning Reviews are monitored, analysed and quality assured by the Care Inspectorate. Commissioning external Independent Lead Reviewers will improve the quality and efficiency of local Learning Reviews. The economic cost of harm caused in the context of child and adult protection in East Ayrshire is challenging to quantify – learning from occurrences of harm is essential to reduce the human and economic impacts for the future.  Externally appointed Independent Lead Reviewers will support transparent and impartial learning and improvement actions. Commissioning through a framework arrangement supports contractual, financial and quality assurance consistency and efficiency. Development of a commissioning framework will facilitate flexibility to respond to fluctuating and unpredictable levels of demand.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SERVICE
Independent Lead Reviewers will:
1.Lead on all aspects of undertaking a full public protection Learning Review for a child or adult in East Ayrshire
2.Work to a Terms of Reference and timescales for the Learning Review already agreed by the Learning Review Panel
3.Chair and lead the Review Team for the duration of the Learning Review
4.Lead on multi-agency case information review activities, practitioner and manager workshops and family / carer liaison (if appropriate)
5.Deliver a Learning Review report identifying strengths, learning and areas for improvement
6.Be accountable and report to the Learning Review Panel and Chief Officer Group
7.Be supported by the relevant APC or CPC Chair and Lead Officer
SERVICE DELIVERY
External Independent Lead Reviewers will only be appointed once a Learning Review has been agreed through the respective Learning Review Panel, the Adult or Child Protection Committee and the Chief Officer Group in East Ayrshire. When a Learning Review has been agreed as requiring an external Independent Lead Reviewer, information about the required service will be sent to all Reviewers on the Framework.
It is anticipated that there may be up to four Learning Reviews requiring Independent Lead Reviewers per year, however, this is unpredictable and demand may therefore fluctuate. It is also estimated that each Learning Review may take between 3-6 months to complete, however, depending on the complexity this may also vary. Information about individual Learning Reviews and estimated timescales will be provided at the point of commission.
Independent Lead Reviewers will be contracted by East Ayrshire Council on a consultancy contract for the duration of the Learning Review work being undertaken.
OPERATION OF THE FRAMEWORK
The Framework will be in place for a duration of four years from the initial award date. It will operate under the parameters of the Light Touch Regime of ‘social and other specific services’ under Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This Framework will be open to new entrants throughout the duration. Any new entrants will be required to undergo the same application and selection process as all other tenderers awarded on to the framework.  This Framework will operate on a call-off basis. It should be noted that East Ayrshire Council and the H&SCP have no obligation to purchase from this Framework with no guaranteed volumes or minimum levels of business throughout. Purchase orders will be issued to confirm any call-off from the Framework.
This PIN will remain open for the 4 year duration of the open framework. The initial application period will end on 29th November 2023.
The open framework (PS/23/132) will expire in December 2027. Additional information: This PIN will remain open for the 4 year duration of the open framework. The initial application period will end on 29th November 2023.
If you have missed the initial application window stated above, new entrants can request an application pack at any point until 30th November 2027 by emailing Zoe.Wilson@east-ayrshire.gov.uk directly or alternatively procurement@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.

We host Confluence on-prem and our current deployment is v7.16.5. In the last 12 months, 268 users have logged in to the Wiki to contribute or edit content and many more will have accessed information as readers. During the same period, edits have been made to approximately 90 team sites/spaces. The SQL database contains 22GB of data. The Wiki is a popular and important tool which allows users to create maintain and publish multimedia documentation, share information across teams and departments, and work collaboratively on projects. We host a live and a test installation of Confluence using Windows Server 2012 application servers and SQL Server 2019 instances. Atlassian are withdrawing support for on-prem installations of Confluence Server in February 2024 and the Library is keen to evaluate alternative products and solutions, which will enable us to maintain access to a Wiki for our user audience, beyond this date. The British Library views this RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the goods and/or services described. The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and service offers and produce a shortlist for invitation to tender. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise procurement route to be followed.

The South Sudan Education Programme is the successor to phase one and two of the Girls Education South Sudan (GESS) programme, which has been running since 2012.  The anticipated budget is up to £90 million, and we anticipate a continuation of the current multi donor model.  The programme seeks to support the provision of essential education services, particularly to girls and children living with disabilities, and enhance the linkages with other UK and wider sector efforts to improve education access and quality.  In addition, the programme will work in partnership with the UK’s country-led health programme to test approaches to integrate girls’ education and adolescent sexual, reproductive health and rights (ASRHR) provision to address the unmet needs of adolescent girls.

description:
The service will provide holistic and palliative end of life, providing specialist holistic assessment, symptom control, emotional support and practical 'hands on' nursing and social care.

description: This is a Contract Award Notice and is intended to provide notice of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a contract for Hospice Services to its incumbent provider, St Clare Hospice , to continue to provide services within the West Essex area.

description: Health services

procurementMethod: limited

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

procurementMethodRationale: The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) became a legal entity on 1st July 2022, replacing the previous Hertfordshire and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups. The organisation is in its early stages and is forming its commissioning and procurement strategies. It is the intention of the HWE ICB to undertake a full commissioning review of its hospice services across the area. To procure services at this stage would risk destabilisation and misalignment to the wider strategy. This short-term extension will allow the HWE ICB time to ensure that a robust strategic review is undertaken which will inform the longer-term decision on how these services will be delivered in future for the benefit of our patients, avoiding unnecessary costs.

title: Air Quality Behaviour Change Programme

description:
We have committed to running 7 behaviour change campaigns (one in each of our constituent local authorities) focused on reducing exposure to PM2.5 pollution. The DEFRA grant application made a commitment of initially working with a minimum of 350 people (50 in each location) through these projects.
Campaigns should be designed to be replicable for regional stakeholders to adopt once the formal project funding ends.  Possible campaigns could include, but should not be limited to;
Improving understanding of indoor air quality which could include interventions on solid wood burning, bonfires, home ventilation and pollution sources as well as the health impacts.
Anti-idling campaigns
Exposure reduction campaigns using trusted messengers through NHS, Faith leaders or community groups.
Awareness raising of smoke control areas and what these mean
Trial of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
Given that there is an opportunity to vary campaigns in priority and theme across the WMCA area, we would also expect to be able to trial different types of intervention. These could include, but would not be limited to:
Policy trials
Data capture
Different engagement approaches
Practical solutions

description: Health and social work services

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
DfC considers Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR 2015 (as amended) is applicable.  For the reasons in VII.2.I) above, the provision of additional services until 6 September 2024 is necessary and:
(i) interchangeability issues with a new supplier means these key services could be negatively impacted for technical and economic reasons.  The implementation of the contract currently being procured will necessitate a lengthy handover period and make it impossible therefore to introduce a new provider for a short extension period.  A change in supplier, without a full handover programme (to include transition to a new IT service necessitating dual running of systems), would risk delivery of these services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable people;
(ii) appointing a new supplier to cover a short extension period (which DfC does not consider a viable option) at the same time as an incumbent is engaged in handover to a new FAS supplier, would result in significant duplication of costs and a loss of value for money for the taxpayer;
(iii) the value of the contract for the extended period does not exceed 50% of value of original contract

description:
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Extension of contract term by additional 6 months until 06.09.2024 due to an ongoing procurement process.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) led Functional Assessment Services (FAS) procurement, based on 5 geographic Lots (Lot 5 in Northern Ireland), was launched on 12 November 2021. FAS will replace the services currently provided by the MSS and PIP contracts.
On 15 March 2023, DWP notified FAS bidders of the outcome of the procurement in Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5.  Procurement activity in Lot 3 (Southwest England) continues, resulting in a DWP and DfC agreement to delay contract signature in all Lots to support full alignment in FAS transition to ‘go-live’ in 2024. DfC has a number of dependencies on DWP to enable it to comply with key Authority obligations in relation to FAS Lot 5 service delivery.
It is anticipated that the completion of the FAS procurement exercise in Lot 3 will result in a 6-month delay in the contract signature for Lot 3 and consequently in Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Without an extension there would be a service provision gap, adversely impacting MSS customers and resulting in a failure of DfC to meet its statutory obligations. Furthermore, the absence of continuity in service provision would put at significant risk a vulnerable group of MSS recipients and create further hardship and disadvantage.

title: Fylde Coast - Integrated Urgent Care Service

description:
NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) are publishing on behalf of NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) who have awarded a contract for the Fylde Coast area, for Integrated Urgent Care Services.

The original Voluntary Ex-Ante Competition Notice (Notice Number 2022/S 000-016548) was published for the previously known NHS Blackpool Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) (LEAD) and NHS Fylde & Wyre CCG.

The above-named ICB issued a direct award for a 19 month contract, from 1st September 2022 - 31st March 2024 for Integrated Urgent Care Services for the Fylde Coast area.

Please see below for the justification for the urgent need to directly award this contract in accordance with the regulatory conditions.

Fylde Coast Medical Services (FCMS) provide out of hospital urgent care services to the Fylde Coast under a five year contract which was due to expire on 31 August 2022. The lead commissioner of this contract was the previous NHS Blackpool CCG. The scope of the services provided include the Integrated Urgent Care Services, the Acute Visiting Service, the Care Co-ordination Service and specific services around wound care and deep vein thrombosis.

This notice is for a direct award of a contract to the existing provider, FCMS, from 1st September 2022 to 31st March 2024, with consideration being given to the ICBs' future direction of travel for this service. It is the intention of the commissioning organisation to undertake a review of the model of services needed going forward and undertake a full procurement.

The rationale for remaining with this provider for a further 19 months was so that there will be a continuation of service provision, with a provider who is currently providing a high quality and responsive service.

description:
In Cambridgeshire and Peterborough there are large numbers of adults and children who are living in poor health due to, in part, modifiable risk factors. This has been exacerbated over the COVID-19 pandemic and cover a wide range of factors such as poor diet/obesity, smoking, harmful alcohol consumption, and vaccination/immunisation uptake for preventable diseases. These factors tend to be more prevalent in less affluent areas leading to a further widening of health inequalities. It is systemic variations in wider determinants of health such as environmental factors (e.g., living without easy access to fresh food, few green spaces for physical activity, high volume of junk food advertising) that supports inequalities and leaves an individual’s health outcomes out of their control (1–3).
Almost half of the burden of disease in developed countries is attributable to modifiable risk factors such as smoking, harmful alcohol consumption, poor diet, and physical inactivity (4). These risk factors are associated with developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and can increase the number of years people are living in disability (5). This in turn adds pressure on NHS services through both the direct and indirect costs of treating resulting disease(4,6,7).
Public health interventions to date have had limited success in reducing these risk factors. There are many behaviour change programmes and interventions in place aiming to help people be healthier. Whilst these are typically underpinned by evidence and utilise some behaviour change theory, sustaining behaviour change is often challenging especially when people live in unsupportive environments. For example, most people participating in weight management programmes will regain their lost weight over time; only around 20% successfully maintain their weight loss in the long term (8). Further work is therefore needed to understand the drivers of behaviour at an individual, community and population level to ensure the longevity of positive health outcomes.

name: Minister for the Cabinet Office Acting through Crown Commercial Service

title: Rapid Manufacture Ventilator System-UCL&Mercedes

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.
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 Mercedes High Performance Drive Chains to the RMVS project and which is the output of Mercedes High Performance Drive Chains appearing on 2020/S 100-243206 of the RMVS CANs.

description: Anaesthesia and resuscitation

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.
