description: Framework allows an extension of 12 months.

description: The framework representative has confirmed that the framework has been extended for 12 months until the 31st of December 2025, and it is possible to have an agreement in place that goes past the expiry date. Devon ICB's reasoning for the direct award of 2 +1 is that this service will require at least 12-14 month procurement to secure the best value for money service when taking into consideration the time period required for service design, user engagement, procurement process and mobilisation. The initial scheduled procurement was delayed due to the Pre-election period and Devon ICB's restructuring phase will likely not conclude until March 2025.

The Eastern Green Link programme ("EGL") is being delivered as a Joint Venture ("JV") between Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission ("SHET") and National Grid Electricity Transmission ("NGET").
In order to support this capital programme SHET is going to market on behalf of itself and the JV partners for a new software application to support the workforce management of the staff delivering the EGL projects. In addition to the EGL projects, the workforce management software may separately be used for internal projects by the JV partners, including SHET and its SSENT Offshore business area.
This capability encompasses all aspects of people planning, scheduling and allocation to ensure the timely and successful execution of the projects. The delivery team's capability focuses on resource management and forecasting or varying lengths (e.g. Monthly, Annual, 5years, 10years), recruitment tracking, and operational efficiency. It includes aspects of analytics, planning, and capacity management to ensure the project resource is optimised.
The capability supports the creation of detailed people plans, alignment of team skills with project requirements. Furthermore, it integrates with project delivery tooling to provide a comprehensive view of people-related metrics, facilitating informed decision-making and quick response to any project changes or challenges. This capability is crucial for managing a large, geographically dispersed team and ensuring that each phase of the construction adheres to scheduled timelines and quality standards.
At present, the Workforce Planning teams use manual processes which are updated on Excel and Visio. The updates require the resource manager to send multiple forms monthly, where managers are expected to input the relevant information regarding staff changes, new starters, leavers etc. which they then send back to the resource manager who then manually updates the organisation chart and forecasted staff plan.
We anticipate the purchase of a Commercial Off The Shelf, Software As A Service, solution, from a skilled and experienced provider in this field.  Current anticipated volumes of users (subject to change) is 135 managers and 3500 colleagues/resources to manage.

Hampshire Library Service (HLS) operates 40 libraries and is the busiest county library service in the UK.
Hampshire Library Service are seeking to secure a partner to take on a 'Licence to Occupy' in Farnborough Library. There is already an active refreshment offer in a specific area of the library, working within a kitchen, servery and seating area.  The contract is due to expire in January 2025 with a new contract due to last for three years up to 19th January 2028.  This is a nil value (concession) contract and the estimated value to the contractor over a three-year period, although subject to change, is £150,000.
Hampshire County Council have been in talks with Rushmoor Borough Council, regarding their proposals of a Farnborough Civic Quarter regeneration plan including the development of a new leisure centre and cultural hub incorporating our existing library building. The planned regeneration would bring the leisure centre, cultural hub, library, and space for council and voluntary services together, and therefore reshape the library in Farnborough without its own refreshment offer. When we have notice of this, we would be able to give a lead in time to terminate the licence with any occupying partner.
The Council wants to identify from the market if any potential suppliers are interested in providing catering services within the current library space. The Council is looking to undertake a quotation exercise with suppliers who can demonstrate that they can provide these services.
Any supplier who would be interested in quoting for the opportunity needs to register on the Council e-tendering platform, Intend, in the first instance.
Any supplier who can demonstrate that they are interested in this opportunity, with its associated timelines, will then be invited to quote. Interested suppliers are required to register their interest by 14:00 on Monday 25th November 2024.

title: AppsAnywhere & Numecent Cloudpaging Sitewide License

description: Software package and information systems

procurementMethodRationale:
Explanation:
1. Strategic Fit with Existing Infrastructure
AppsAnywhere has been specifically selected due to its seamless integration with our existing hybrid infrastructure, which spans across multiple continents and is built on a
combination of Azure, AWS, and Nutanix environments. The platform's compatibility with both Azure Environments, Hyper-V further strengthens our current systems without necessitating costly or time-consuming reconfigurations.
2. Educational Sector Requirements
The unique needs of a global university, where the infrastructure supports thousands of students and staff remotely, require a solution tailored to educational environments.
AppsAnywhere is designed with the academic sector in mind, enabling centralised, secure delivery of software applications to both on-campus and remote users. This focus on student and faculty needs aligns with our goal to provide a flexible and userfriendly experience, ensuring uninterrupted learning and research activities.
3. Education Sector Challenges
A reduction in resource availability as the university looks to reduce in operating costs and deliver sustainable digital experiences. Previous use of AppsAnywhere means that
the skill set is readily available and packaging of applications for our environment is familiar, and the platform can be onboarded with speed.
Proven Security and Compliance Standards
With the university operating a SOC and NOC to oversee security operations globally,
AppsAnywhere provides robust security features that align with our high compliance standards. The platform supports stringent security protocols and data protection measures, critical for maintaining the integrity of our distributed systems across several continents.
5. No Suitable Alternative in the Market
After evaluating the alternatives, it has been determined that no other solution on the market meets our specific criteria in terms of integration, security, and the specialised  requirements of an educational institution and the streaming of apps to BYOD devices.
This conclusion is based on an extensive internal review of the options currently available. Many alternatives require significant infrastructure compute costs in a time where we are having to work to strict budget availability.
6. Cost and Time Efficiency
Transitioning to a new platform would introduce significant costs, delays, and risks to the university's operations. AppsAnywhere allows for continuity without disrupting our
global service delivery, enabling us to maintain operational efficiency and meet the demands of our academic community.

title: Proposed Contract Award for Oracle Enterprise Solutions

Financial management, planning and budgeting systems provided by Oracle Corporation UK
Ltd. This includes a number of licences for software provided by Oracle, which can be
grouped into two core products - Oracle Fusion ERP, and Oracle Fusion EPM.

description:
The Guinness Partnership Ltd. employs the software solutions provided by the Oracle Corporation as the business' core financial management, planning and budgeting systems. This includes a number of licences for software provided by Oracle, which can be grouped into two core products - Oracle Fusion ERP, and Oracle Fusion EPM.
Guinness' initial contract for these services with Oracle ended in Oct 2024, and the business has renewed these contracts with Oracle on the basis of a specified exemption under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. Term is a 10 year (5+5) period, without further competition. See below for further details.

description: Financial analysis and accounting software package

procurementMethodRationale:
Guinness' has renewed its contract for these services directly with Oracle, without further competition, on the basis of a specified exemption under the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015.
Under Regulation 32 of the PCR, authorities are able to make use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (i) the aim of the procurement is the creation or acquisition of a unique work of art or artistic performance, (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons, or (iii) the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.
Guinness as the contracting authority is of the view that competition is absent for technical reasons (ii). The software configuration in place is deeply embedded into Guinness' IT architecture and is significantly bespoke to our business requirements, which makes changing systems highly complex and prohibitive. Furthermore Guinness considers that exemption (iii) also applies, on the basis that Oracle alone has exclusive ownership of the intellectual property which forms our bespoke solution.
As per exemption (ii), the level of complexity of the current software implementation and licencing configuration embedded within Guinness' IT architecture is such that it can only feasibly be provided and maintained by Oracle. The Guinness Partnership therefore believes that the conditions for Regulation 32 of the PCR are therefore met and has entered directly into contract via negotiation with Oracle.
Guinness has formalised the extension of contract with Oracle following the publication of a VEAT notice and the completion of a 10-day standstill period. Voluntary ex ante transparency notice Notice reference: 2024/S 000-033825; Published: 18 October 2024, 3:52pm.

description:
Following the issuance of a Prior Information Notice (PIN), dated 21 October 2024 (Ref. 2024/S 000-033964), the Authority would like to thank all suppliers who have expressed an interest in the Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) requirement.
This second PIN serves to provide further detail regarding the Market Interest Day mentioned in the first PIN and individual Engagement Sessions. Suppliers that did not submit an expression of interest following the issuance of the first PIN may still register an interest.
The Authority will hold the Market Interest Day 10:00–16:00 GMT on 04 December 2024 in Wiltshire, UK.

Due to capacity limitations, the Market Interest Day is limited to three (3) personnel from each supplier. In the event of the location’s capacity being exceeded, the Authority will reduce down to two (2) personnel from each supplier.
Following completion of the Market Interest Day, the Authority intends to release a Request for Information (RFI) in order to collate feedback on the presentation and offer an additional opportunity to attend a one-on-one Engagement Session via MS Teams. The Engagement Sessions are for suppliers to present their capabilities to the Authority. Industry responses to the Market Interest Day and Engagement Sessions will help inform development of the requirement.
Please note the following:
The Market Interest Day will assist the Authority to refine any future requirement and procurement documentation.
The Authority reserve the right not to proceed with the procurement. Nothing shall constitute a commitment to instigating a formal procurement process.
The Authority will not be liable for any costs associated with attendance at the Market Interest Day or the production of a response to any subsequent RFI.
All responses at the Market Interest Day and any subsequent RFI must be provided by suppliers in good faith and to the best of the ability in light of information available at the time of the response.
No information provided by a supplier in response to this Market Interest Day and/or any subsequent RFI will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged in any subsequent formal procurement process that may take place.
Should a supplier not attend the Market Interest Day and/or not respond to any subsequent RFI, it will not affect participation in any subsequent formal procurement process for the requirement.

This is a statement that this notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process. South Tees Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) plan on utilising the Most Suitable Provider Process to award a contract to the incumbent provider, for the provision of GP Services within their region of Richmond, As required by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) (Health Care Services Regulation 2023), this document outlines the supplier’s performance against the key criteria and the likelihood of the supplier satisfying the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The Trusts has also considered the basic selection criteria to ensure suitability, good financial standing and that the supplier has the relevant technical and professional ability.

Reasons for rational :

Direct award A - The incumbent provider delivering the services is doing so to a high standard that the trust wishes to maintain, and we are not entering into a framework agreement. There are other providers who could arrange to provide GP services in the area, which is why subsection (b) is not applicable.

Direct award B - The services provided under the contract are to provide GP support services and there is no requirement for patient choice as only one supplier is required. There are other providers who look after other areas in the region but as the incumbent supplier looks after a small rural area, it would not be appropriate/advantageous to award to more than one provider. Direct Award B is not suitable for this exercise.

Direct award C - Trust considerations:
We have established that Direct Award A and B or not appropriate to this exercise. The Trust have an incumbent provider and are proposing to award a new contract as the current agreement has expired, which excludes route C through requirement ‘B’ in the above table, even though the proposed contract will be for the same scope as the existing agreement.

Recommendation:

The Trust has selected the most suitable provider route to award the proposed contract. Due to the specific nature of the requirement, there would be no value gained from running a competitive process.

The above details on the approach were approved by the senior leadership team at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

Additional information :
- This opportunity was previously placed under FTS-012789 but has been released again due to changes.
- There were no conflict of interests declared from any internal stakeholders. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award

The trust confirm that it intends to award a contract using the most suitable provider process to the incumbent provider of the service.
