title: Procurement for the provision of a Community Equipment Service (CES) and Technology Enabled Care and Support (TECS)

description:
Devon County Council is seeking to commission an integrated service commissioned on behalf of itself and NHS Devon Integrated Care Board to provide community equipment for Adults and Children in Devon. The Services should provide a one-stop shop for the direct provision, delivery, installation, support, maintenance, collection and recycling of Community Equipment items, including Technology Enabled Care and Support (TECS).

The Council will require a single point of access to the Services for itself and the ICB that is supported by full back-office co-ordination and an effective and efficient IT solution to support on-line ordering and the real-time tracking of orders.

The requirement is for any Service User within the Devon County Council boundary, with health and/or social care and/or educational needs to have quick and easy access to the Community Equipment including any TECS necessary for such Service Users to stay independent and live healthily for longer.

The Council and ICB are seeking services to be delivered innovatively in a way that meets the needs of the population now and throughout the contract period.  As such, the Commissioners will expect the Provider to continuously engage with stakeholders and, in agreement with Commissioners, evolve the services ensuring they are fit for purpose and meets patients’ needs. The service needs to work in an integrated manner offering seamless support, particularly from a patient's viewpoint.

Full details, including specification and other key information and requirements can be found within the procurement documentation.

The initial duration of the agreement will be for a period of 5 years.  The Commissioner has a maximum financial envelope available of £9,258,913 per annum. This is made up on £4,882,500 per annum for activity and £4,376,413 per annum for hardware. The total maximum contract value for the initial 5 year Contract is therefore £46,294,545, made up of £24,412,500 for activity and £21,882,065 for hardware.

At the end of the initial contract 5 year term the Commissioner will have an extension option for any period up to a further 2 years which will be awarded at their discretion, giving a maximum possible contract value of £64,812,391 (activity and hardware combined) over 7 years if the fully extended contract term is fulfilled.  All figures are given excluding VAT.  The above figures are all provided as flat cash – i.e. with no inflationary price increases assumed over the contract period.

The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2025.

This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.

reviewDetails: As described in VI.3, deadline for lodging of appeals should be in accordance with Regulation 87 and Regulation 91 of the 2015 Regulations.

Context and Contract Services
The Authority is a unitary local authority that provides waste collection and disposal services to some 406,500 residents. All waste disposal authorities, including the Authority, must provide facilities for the disposal of household waste. Under Section 51(1)(b) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 it shall be the duty of each waste disposal authority to arrange for Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC Facilities) to be provided at which persons resident in its area may deposit their household waste. There must therefore be provision for household waste to be disposed of in Cheshire East whether in its current form or some other sustainable form.
The Authority currently owns seven HWRC Facilities that are located within the Cheshire East Administration Area.
The Authority are looking to enter into a Contract for (without limitation):
•	the management, maintenance, repair, and operation of the Authority’s HWRC Facilities in line with the Specification and the successful Contractor’s Service Delivery Plans which set out, as appropriate, how the successful Contractor proposes to provide the Services;
•	the receipt and acceptance of residual household waste received at the HWRC Facilities by the Contractor; and the haulage of residual household waste to the Authority’s Transfer station located at Cledford Lane, Middlewich, Cheshire East, CW10 0JW. The treatment, recovery and/or disposal of residual household waste shall be carried out under a separate Authority waste management contract.
•	the receipt, acceptance, haulage; and, the re-use, recycling, treatment, recovery and/or disposal of all other wastes (with the exception of residual household waste) that are received at the HWRC Facilities;
•	the sale of all process outputs to end markets and disposal of any treatment residues;
•	obtaining, maintaining and complying with all consents which may from time to time be required for the performance of the Services; and,
•	the procurement and management of works to modify the HWRC Facilities.
Potential Changes within Procurement Documents
Committee Decision on number of HWRC Facilities
On 27th February 2024 at Full Council (all Councillors meeting together), the Authority approved the Medium-Term Financial Strategy that included:
i.	72 – Emergency reduction of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) to four core sites: Temporary Emergency reduction of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) to four core sites at Alsager, Crewe, Knutsford and Macclesfield from 1 April 2024 in advance of the formal HWRC review being presented to Committee in September 2024.
ii.	96 – Review of Household Waste Recycling Centres Permanent rationalisation of HWRC provision within the borough, as identified through the outputs from the now established HWRC Review, the scope of which was confirmed by the Environment and Communities Committee in September 2023.
Further to the Medium-Term Financial Strategy, the Authority is undertaking a review on the number of HWRC Facilities required to deliver the Services in the Cheshire East Administrative Area. The Authority has identified and is considering the feasibility of 4 scenarios for the future delivery of the Contract. Economic operators are to note that the Authority intends for Detailed Solutions to be sought from Bidders on the basis of all 7 HWRC Facilities, but Bidders will also be asked to price for each scenario as part of its commercial submission.
A Committee decision is expected in September 2024 on the scenario that will form the basis of service delivery under the Contract. Following this decision, Bidders will be invited to detailed dialogue with the Authority and submit their Final Tenders on the chosen scenario only. Further information on this process will be made available to Bidders in the draft procurement documents.
Other Matters Subject to Consultation
There are several requirements within the draft Specification (Document 3) that are subject to consultation, including (but not limited to) the number of HWRC Facilities, the HWRC Facilities Opening Hours, the inclusion and scope of booking systems, and accessibility arrangements for non-car users. A formal committee decision on the HWRC Strategy and scope of HWRC services to be included within this upcoming HWRC Services Contract is expected to be made at the Committee Meeting in September 2024. Prior to Competitive Dialogue and call for Final Tender, the Authority shall provide bidders with clarity regarding the scope of services, specifically the matters that are subject to consultation.
It is our intention to discuss during dialogue solutions across the scope of the service requirements to identify efficiencies, service improvement opportunities, waste reduction and increased recycling that could be included in the final Contract Documents
The full description of the scope of Services can be found within the procurement documents at www.the-chest.org.uk ,project ID DN715688.
Contract Works
As a comparatively small part of the contract, the Authority will require the Contractor to specify and undertake works at the HWRC Facilities.
Further details about the potential scope of works required and financing arrangements being considered by the Authority are set out in the draft procurement documents.
ANSA Environmental Services Limited
For the purposes of this procurement, the Authority is the contracting seeking to procure the Services and will be the counterparty to the Contract with the successful contractor. The Authority’s wholly owned company, Ansa Environmental Services Limited, provides environmental services on behalf of the Authority, including in respect of waste management and the HWRC Facilities. Economic operators are to note that it is anticipated that Ansa will undertake certain management functions under the Contract on behalf of the Authority. Further information will be provided in the draft procurement documents.
Anticipated Changes
The contracting authority reserves the right to introduce anticipated changes to the Services that are foreseeable during the Contract term. These include (without limitation) the closure of a HWRC Facility, the replacement of a HWRC Facility and a change to the delivery point that receives residual household waste. Please refer to the draft Contract for further information.

Further details of the Authority’s requirements are contained in this Contract Notice at section II.2.4.
This Contract Notice is published to advertise and invite expressions of interest from organisations wishing to enter into a contract with the Authority for the provision of  HWRC Facilities services and works. The Authority is conducting this procurement under the Competitive Dialogue procedure pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the “2015 Regulations”). The aim of the Competitive Dialogue process is to identify and define the means best suited to satisfy the Authority’s needs and requirements.  In accordance with the 2015 Regulations the Authority is conducting the procurement in successive stages to reduce the number of Solutions and Bidders throughout the process.
The first stage of the procurement process for the Contract is this Selection Questionnaire (SQ) stage.

Following submissions of the completed SQ responses, the Authority will apply the selection criteria in the SQ. The Council intends to select the highest scoring FOUR (4) economic operators to progress from the SQ stage to the invitation to submit detailed solutions and participate in dialogue stage (subject to selected economic operators meeting the Authority’s Minimum Standards set out in the SQ). Following the submission and evaluation of detailed solutions, the Authority intends to invite all bidders to detailed dialogue sessions. Once the Authority identifies the solution capable of meeting its needs, dialogue will be concluded, and bidders invited to submit a final tender before a preferred bidder is selected that represents the most economically advantageous tender.

The estimated contract value does not include the capital costs associated with any Contract Works undertaken at the HWRC Facilities nor does it include the costs of vehicles, equipment and assets which are anticipated (at this stage) to be predominantly funded by the contractor.

An automated aircraft inspection capability, for the RAF's Poseidon MRA-Mk1 (P8-A), enabling fast, accurate and detailed damage mapping of external airframe damage.
Military aircraft are subject to numerous hazards due to harsh operating conditions, in-flight refuelling or loading and unloading during ground operations. Whether at their home base or during operational deployments, fleet availability and optimal aircraft condition are key to guarantee efficiency and safety of operations. As a proof of concept, Project ASURVEY will use autonomous drone technology at RAF Lossiemouth on Poseidon MRA-Mk1. As the air system is new into service, the CAMO will be able to establish a detailed baseline of the aircraft external condition and maintain a comprehensive history of damage to individual tail numbers. This will be able to feed into the aircraft structural integrity, and environmental protection working groups. The data produced for each tail number would further enable the CAMO's data exploitation working group, identifying common and unusual trends.

Tai Tarian is a not-for-profit Registered Social Landlord that was set up in March 2011 to manage, maintain and improve over 9,000 properties spread throughout the Neath Port Talbot County Borough.
Tai Tarian is undertaking an organisation wide Transformation Programme consisting of five inter-linking workstreams:
1)	Customer Experience – At the root of the strategic themes upon which all others are built is customer experience. We have a clear need to continuously assess the services, experience and customer journey with an aim of becoming externally accredited/recognised for our high-quality customer experience.
2)	Colleague Experience – It is apparent that a key theme of change is around the colleague experience and ensuring that we deliver the highest quality experience to create a high-performance environment that attracts and supports the best talent we can gain access to.
3)	Organisational – There are a number of goals that sit at the organisational level, particularly around having absolute clarity on the offerings, services and resulting operating model that needs to orient more towards our customer experience.
4)	Data and Digital – Much of how we will deliver in the future will be underpinned by modern platforms and applications that allow us to derive insight from our data, which will be well managed, in order to become an evidence based organisation that is delivering high quality digital experiences for all.
5)	Business Systems – There is a significant level of legacy and technical debt that has been built up over time that will have to be addressed as part of the transformation. This theme picks up these underpinning activities that are necessary to enable the transformation.
We want our core business systems to work in a way that:
1) Supports standard ways of working, better data collection, accuracy, completeness and security
2) Enhances colleague experience and efficiency and effectiveness of operational decision making through standardised and ad-hoc reporting
3) Creates a single view of our colleagues, removing double handling and manual inefficiencies
4) Supports enhancements in the colleague experience
5) Supports an ‘industry standardised’ IT architecture, open API’s and the ability to extract data
6) Demonstrates future proofing and scalability for a 10-15 year horizon
