NHS Blood & Transplant (NHSBT) and Scottish National Blood Transfusion (SNBTS) Red Cell Immunohaematology (RCI) departments are seeking to engage with suppliers of red cell genotyping methods via an early market engagement exercise. Please note this is not the start of a procurement process; a separate contract notice will be published to cover this requirement.

Prior to commencing the formal procurement process, NHSBT and SNBTS would like to consult the market to improve our knowledge of all current offers available in the marketplace, identify further opportunities and potential issues, as well as gauge market interest in the proposed service. This engagement will help shape NHSBT and SNBTS’s procurement strategy.

The RCI laboratories in NHSBT and SNBTS provide a range of reference services to hospitals, focusing on ensuring safe and effective blood transfusions by diagnosing and managing complex issues related to red blood cells.  For some patients, the red cell phenotype cannot be determined due to prior transfusion, treatment with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, or autoimmune conditions. For these patients, the selection of safe compatible blood for transfusion relies on red cell genotyping, a molecular method of determining blood groups. Blood is often required urgently with increased risk to the patient if this is not met. RCI reference services in NHSBT are provided from Barnsley, Birmingham, Colindale, Filton (Bristol), Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tooting. RCI reference services in SNBTS are provided from Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, although red cell genotyping is only performed on the Glasgow site.

NHSBT and SNBTS are seeking to engage with suppliers on the market who can provide red cell genotyping. The requirement is likely to include the following:
•	Extended red cell genotype (blood groups).
•	Weak and Partial Rh D.
•	Either closed or open system.
•	Processing batches, but also capable of processing smaller numbers with minimum wastage.
•	Less than 24-hour TAT, including DNA extraction to results.
•	Quality requirements (such as CE marked)

As part of the early market engagement exercise, NHSBT and SNBTS would like to discuss our requirement with suppliers along with a time frame for supply.

It is our intention to hold the early market engagement exercise supplier meetings the week of 20th January 2025. The meetings will be held remotely. To enable us to finalise arrangements (e.g. send meeting details and agree time slots), interested organisations are required to send an expression of interest via email to Coco.Otiotio@nhsbt.nhs.uk by no later than 17:00 hrs (GMT) on Monday 16th of December . This should include a list of your requested attendees and a brief overview (or a website link) of the Goods / Services which might be of interest to us in relation to this requirement. Please include options, if available, for a managed service contract.

There is no guarantee that a formal procurement process will be launched as a result of this early market engagement exercise, nor that any contract(s) will be placed. No remuneration or compensation etc will be paid to organisations who take part in this early market engagement exercise. Suppliers should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position.

First Rail Holdings Ltd. (Known as FRH) on behalf of its subsidiary company, "First Greater Western Ltd (GWR)" is approaching the market to procure an HRMS & Payroll Systems Solution.
FRH currently operate multiple Payroll and HR solutions. The predominant solution is Cyborg Payroll, PDS for HR and LMS which are procured from SumTotal, which are now owned by Cornerstone. The implementation of this solution started over 20 years ago and due to the outdated nature of the systems, current functionality and the ability to develop it further to meet changing business needs is constrained.
In particular, the current Payroll system is vulnerable to Cyber security threats, due to the age of the application, and technical upgrades or updated functionality are costly or not possible. Regular payroll processing requires manual manipulation, outside of the system, using Excel spreadsheets that pose both a contingency and security risk.
Since the introduction of the current systems, increased complexities in HR and Payroll management have meant that the current systems are outdated, manual and prone to errors. This also hinders our ability to attract, retain and develop top talent at GWR and efficiently manage HR and pay-related processes. In addition, there is a risk that the existing suppliers may terminate our contracts early or not agree to any extension for technical support beyond December 2026.
There are numerous systems and interfaces that hold and process HR people's data across GWR. This does not support line managers in effectively managing employee data via self-service functionality.
The current systems are also unable to meet new regulations or legal requirements as changes to functionality will be limited or not able to be implemented. As the payroll system is old technology, there is an ever-decreasing number of technical experts who can make changes or troubleshoot issues that arise.

The HR function focuses on the overall management and well-being of employees, ensuring that they are engaged, productive, and supported within the organization.
Whereas the GWR Payroll department specifically pertains to the process of calculating and distributing employee compensation. It involves tasks such as calculating wages or salaries, factoring in deductions (e.g., taxes, benefits, retirement contributions), processing payroll payments, maintaining payroll records, and ensuring compliance with payroll-related laws and regulations. Payroll departments handle the financial aspect of employee compensation, ensuring accurate and timely payment to employees.
Payroll accuracy and timeliness are non-negotiable, especially when navigating the complexities of HMRC regulations in the UK.
FGH will procure an HRMS & Payroll solution provider on a master service agreement for GWR depending on the commercial terms offered.
GWR is seeking to procure the best in class solution offering the following characteristics not limited to;
* - Comprehensive Functionality
* - Analytics for Informed Decision-Making
* - Employee Self-Service
* - Customisation for Unique Business Needs
* - Support for Remote Workforce
* - Cost-effective and provides measurable value to GWR.
These features collectively enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and user experience of HR and payroll management.
HR and payroll applications should offer significant advantages for First GWR, particularly in terms of efficiency, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
Here are some key benefits:
* - Efficiency and Timesaving
* - Compliance with UK Labor Laws
* - Cost-Effectiveness
* - Improved Efficiency
* - Scalability
* - Improved Employee Experience
* - Self-Service
* - Data Security

NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking a digitalised end-to-end digital system, where information seamlessly flows between processes by connecting the entire lifecycle into one platform.  The system needs to facilitate the services to deliver enhanced transformation across all spectrums of the service.
Frimley's CHC Service provides high quality, safe care to Frimley's most vulnerable Adults and Children, and currently has a combined active caseload of around 1,500 individuals.  It is clear with this caseload, and the inherent complexities associated with the services, that an efficient and effective digital system is essential.
One of the key requirements for a new system will be the need for it to be sufficiently flexible to support a wide range of services outside the traditional CHC / Funded Nursing Care (FNC) / Fast Track (FT) / Continuing Care (CC) agenda.  Service wide transformation will be implemented across all areas including clinical, business, performance, finance and contracting and commissioning. This will also include other Health funding services, such as Mental Health, S117, Complex Care and IRAP.
Enabling better integration between systems across Health and Social Care is also critical. CHC/S117/Complex Care are unique services and links many elements of the health and social care system together, with some of these services overlapping with each other e.g. a patient can have health funding from S117 and CHC.  Therefore, interoperability is of paramount importance, allowing for the CHC service and wider Health and Social Care teams to share and view records.  This will support improved accessibility and visibility of data which in turn will enable more efficient and streamlined workflows for all teams and a better person experience.
The contract term will be for 3 years with an optional extension of any period up to 2 years.
The estimated contract value is £175,000 per annum inc. VAT giving an estimated maximum contract value of £525,000 inc. VAT for the initial contract period and an estimated £875,000 inc. VAT if the full extension period is adopted.
It is expected that the system will be live from 1st July 2025.
This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: The services are subject to the full regime of current procurement legislation and as such this tender will be conducted in accordance with, and governed by, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
This contract will therefore be awarded in accordance with the provisions applicable in Section 5 (sub-section 7) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

streetAddress: Electronically

description: 3 Years

description:
UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) invite you to this Request for Proposal for  subscription services for market insight relating to the power sector.
Introduction
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is responsible for ensuring that the UK has energy supplies that are reliable, affordable and clean. To ensure DESNZ has sufficient market insight to support these responsibilities, DESNZ procures a range of external market data, insights and briefings for the energy sector to inform what the market outlook is, how the sector will respond to change, and to provide assurance and additional evidence to support assumptions setting within our business-critical models.
In this context, DESNZ is looking to procure a subscription, starting in April 2024, to provide regular reports on trends in the electricity supply, commodities and hydrogen sectors in GB and Europe. Expected outputs would be a combination of regular publications, briefings, newsletters, statistical publications, datasets and models provided by email or available on a provider’s website.
These services will ensure that DESNZ has regular market insight on the power, gas and hydrogen sectors to support decision making and feed into business-critical models.
Scope of the Requirement
DESNZ are interested in market insight across a range of sectors, outlined below.
Given the breadth of coverage requested we have only indicated the high-level areas the subscription should cover.
We appreciate the coverage of subscriptions may vary, with some subscriptions covering specific aspects in more detail than others, and vice versa, bidders should set out the available products (such as bulletins, reports, datasets) within their proposal.
• Great Britain (GB) power price projections: Regular forecasts for wholesale power prices (baseload prices, peak prices and renewable capture prices) out to at least 2050. This service should include a detailed explanation of the forecast methodology as well as explanations of any substantial changes to the forecast from the previous iteration.
• GB energy market insights: this service should provide regular (e.g. monthly) publication/bulletins providing information on key news and events in the GB power and gas markets. This should cover key news in policy, industry, markets, and regulation for GB. We would also expect periodic deep dives into specific subject areas such as policy reform or market developments
• European energy market insights: similarly, this service should provide regular publications covering key news in energy (gas and power) policy, industry and markets for at least France and Germany, additional countries would be beneficial but are not required.
• Hydrogen: this service should provide a regular overview of the current European hydrogen landscape and market dynamics, to help keep us abreast of issues such as international hydrogen strategies and funding initiatives, electrolyser capacity, and the cost of hydrogen production.
The services will be contracted for a duration of 2 years with the option to extend for a further year at the end of the initial contracted period.

On 18 September 2018, Merseytravel awarded an agreement to Panasonic Marketing Europe GmbH (Panasonic) for the provision of turnkey train connectivity and information system design, installation, testing, commissioning, integration and support in connection with the Merseyrail electrics railway network (TCIS Agreement). This TCIS Agreement concerns a communications network for the provision of a telecommunications service for Merseytravel's newest fleet of passenger trains, and for the provision of connectivity and train information services using such network. This contract award was made at the conclusion of a procurement process carried out using the competitive dialogue procedure under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR), which was advertised in the Official Journal of the EU on 5 October 2017 by contract notice 2017/S 191-391970. The contract is at the stage of installing, testing and commissioning the physical system infrastructure, with an amount of that infrastructure already in place.
The performance of the TCIS Agreement has at all material times been subcontracted by Panasonic to Alan Dick Communications Limited, trading as AD Comms (ADC). Throughout the procurement process and at contract award, it was made known to Merseytravel by Panasonic that ADC would be performing the TCIS Agreement. Panasonic ultimately became party to the TCIS Agreement because ADC on its own did not satisfy the relevant financial standing criteria. Contractually, ADC has been delivering all relevant activities (including provision of supplies and performance of services) under a subcontract with Panasonic relating to the TCIS Agreement dated 17 October 2018. At the time of award of the TCIS Agreement and the subcontract, ADC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Panasonic. Apart from providing relevant financial standing all material obligations for the delivery of the TCIS Agreement were taken by ADC through its subcontract with Panasonic.
The ownership in ADC has since transferred from Panasonic to Mutares Holding-25 GmbH (Mutares) by way of a share transfer that completed in May 2021.
ADC and Mutares are now in a position to acquire the business associated with the performance of the TCIS Agreement (comprising that agreement only) from Panasonic. This will be effected by a novation of the TCIS Agreement (and all rights, obligations and liabilities under it) from Panasonic to ADC, with related financial support provided by Mutares. ADC's subcontract with Panasonic as sub-contractor providing the services for main contract will also be terminated as it would otherwise be providing services to itself.
Merseytravel considers that there is an arguable case that the novation falls outside the scope of application of the UCR, being a permissible modification to the TCIS Agreement under Regulation 88(1)(d)(ii). Under the novation, as regards primary contractual liability to Merseytravel, a new contractor (ADC) replaces the one to which Merseytravel had initially awarded the TCIS Agreement (Panasonic). The novation results from a succession into the position of Panasonic by ADC, following the acquisition of ADC by Mutares and the acquisition by ADC and Mutares of the business associated with the performance of the TCIS Agreement.
While ADC continues not to satisfy the original financial standing criteria, in the circumstances of the TCIS Agreement, the performance to date and the remaining activity, Merseytravel is satisfied that ADC has sufficient financial standing to complete its performance, when the support provided by Mutares is taken into account (along with other relevant financial factors).
The novation does not entail any other substantial modifications to the TCIS Agreement. Certain modifications have been made to the requirements, including refinements to aspects of the technical specification to reflect requirements for the Merseyrail trains and a change in delivery timings to accommodate route-by-route delivery. The modifications do not involve any material increase (or decrease) in price, and the ultimate purpose of the TCIS Agreement (and overarching obligation on ADC) is to deliver a fully functioning information system across the network, as originally envisaged.
The novation is not aimed at circumventing the application of the UCR. Rather, it formalises the delivery relationship that was first proposed during the original procurement process, by ensuring that the entity that has always been responsible for the delivery of the system (ADC) is now primarily contractually responsible to Merseytravel under the terms of the TCIS Agreement, rather than sitting a tier below Panasonic.

The WMCPC intends to commission an Admission and Triage Unit (ATU) for children and young people within the West Midlands (aged 13-18) who require intensive mental health support and a brief admission for assessment if required. Referrals will be via Form 1.

The service and provider will need to be registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide mental health services.
The indicative services aims are to:
•	Provide brief admission and a  safe place for a young person with an escalation in their risk behaviours to be admitted for triage and further assessment – this will be under the MH act [not to be confused with Place of Safety 136.
•	Provide access to inpatient care out of hours where the alternative may be within an inappropriate setting i.e S136 or ED Department and the destination is admission to hospital and not to a crisis facility or crash pad.
•	Give time to the young person to de-escalate from their situation in a safe place and allow professionals further time to assess and determine appropriate service for the young person to access
•	Reduce lengthy inpatient admissions to Tier 4 CAMHs inpatient units and/or reduce inpatient bed days through early access to de-escalation
•	Provide a range of assessments and therapeutic interventions to support the young person’s discharge and de-escalate from their situation.

The proposed service model should cover the following minimum requirements (these may be subject to amendment due to concurrent development work)
•	Service should be focused on de-escalation and expert assessment scaling down of young person’s risk factors and presenting behaviours towards discharge.
•	There should be ongoing risk and assessment during the time the young person is with the ATU.
•	Admissions should be time limited and the young person should be discharged within 14 days of admission or transferred to an appropriate inpatient unit if longer term admission indicated via the assessment.
•	Therapeutic input should be on providing evidence based short term interventions focused on understanding the triggers for the current crisis, coping strategies, reduction in risks of harm and where appropriate providing interventions within the group so shared experiences can support in finding solutions.
•	Overarching aim is removing the need for an inpatient admission through concentrated crisis management and to reduce the burden on community CAMHS crisis services .
•	Service should be operational seven days per week, 24 hours per day.
•	Service should have a maximum of 6 beds for overnight care and a separate day area to facilitate ‘on the day’ discharge where appropriate.

This is a new service model for Children and Young People’s Intensive Mental Health Services (CYPIMHS), as such, the successful Provider is expected to be fully operational, providing services ideally from 1st January 2025, but at the latest from 1st April 2025.

The contract value is £2,000,000 per annum (£4,000,000 lifetime). Contract Length is expected to be a maximum of 2 years, inline with the Lead Provider contract commissioned by NHSE.

The service(s) must be located within the geography of the West Midlands.

The Contracting Authority will be using an eTendering system for this exercise. Additional information: Any award of contract for this requirement 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. In addition, neither the placement of this notice nor any subsequent notice shall bind the Commissioner to award of any contract.

description: The Councils recognise that customer expectations and demands for seamless, efficient services are increasing, but due to the vast array of services offered by local authorities, this has led to disjointed, siloed customer entry points, reduced ability to extract customer insight, inefficient workflow practices, time delays and multiple hand-offs. These elements combined impact the efficiency and cost of operation, as well as the customer experience and interoperability of our technological architecture. The Councils have set themselves an ambition to improve customer experience and have set out to achieve the following as part of this programme of work: Objectives• To create easy to access services for all • To increase first point of contact resolution and keep the customer informed throughout • To use data and insight to benefit the way we work and our customers • To improve internal workflows and case management The Councils are looking to procure a cloud based customer experience platform which would include a customer portal, forms, case management/workflow, integrations and a content management system. We recognise that our platform may / will be made up of more than one technology provided by more than one supplier. We are open to suppliers collaborating in a consortium but prefer to manage the implementation and ongoing relationship through one lead supplier. The Contracting Authority intends to conduct a Competitive procedure with negotiation in accordance with Reg. 29 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) for the procurement of a customer experience platform.East Suffolk Council's Procurement Team is providing procurement support but the Contracting Authority is South Norfolk Council. Additional information: All communications and tenders must be managed through the In-tend e-sourcing Suite. Any communication outside of the In-tend system, without express permission of the Council (or the East Suffolk Procurement Team acting on its behalf), will be immediately rejected.

Both councils’ delivery plans outline a strategic objective to provide services for residents, businesses and communities that are innovative, efficient and easy to use against a backdrop of reduced funding and tougher economical times. An improved customer offer enabled by digital technology can have a direct impact on our ability to reduce operating costs to serve our customers, absorb growing demand within existing resources and enable greater efficiencies from understanding the end-to-end customer journey whilst enabling customers to interact with us in modern and efficient ways that are convenient to them.

Further information regarding how to contact the Councils, exercise your rights under UKGDPR, and view their general privacy notices can be found on their respective websites.Our aspirations under this project are to define and deliver a solution which :-1.	Can support the concept of seamless customer journeys from a range of contact points including but not limited to (phone, email, web, social media, mobile app etc) and work with a range of end user technologies including laptops, mobile devices, smartphones. 2.	Are robust, secure and compliant with relevant standards3.	Creates a single front door and single sign on experience with our business systems that our services use to manage cases with customers4.	Supports customer record linking across our various line of business systems to meet reporting requirements such as single view of the customer.    5.	As well as offering pre-built components we want a platform that supports innovation and the quick and agile development of applications. We want to break our reliance on expensive third-party applications where the solution is not complex.6.	We want to implement a sustainable service, not just technology. Our aim is to have an in-house supported corporate development platform. We want to hear how vendors can enable this 7.	We are ambitious for our future and are interested in a platform that will support us in exploiting new and emerging technology, for example AI where it is appropriate to help our service delivery processes8.	We want our platform to support an efficient ‘modular’ development approach that enables components to be produced, re-used and simply reconfigured in response to shifting organisational priorities. We want repeatable, simple, consistent and reliable.9.	 We want to work with partners that have a track record of delivery with similar customers. We want a high level of resilience and reliability due to the significant scope, end user experience. 10.	 Has the ability to integrate and support taking payments from customers. We want this in a way that can be deployed consistently across a range of different products.   We don’t want 1.	A system that takes time to make changes and onboard new journeys. 2.	A system that is reliant on bespoke and expensive development skills3.	An architecture that is siloed in nature and introduces technical debt4.	To be reliant on third parties to run and improve our platform and customer journeys 5.	 We don’t want to buy a ‘blank canvas’ that needs extensive configuration before we can begin exploiting it. We want to be able to utilise pre-built components that enable us to realise benefits and efficiencies quickly. 6.	Replication of our Core case management. These are envisioned to remain in our large, complex line of business systems. Replication of these systems in a new platform is out of scope with a favoured approach to integrating and presenting data to provide first point of contact resolution in most instances.
