description: The UK Government has committed GBP5bn to enable hard-to-reach communities to access gigabit-capable broadband. This is being spent through a package of coordinated and mutually supportive interventions, collectively known as Project Gigabit. Project Gigabit, is a UK Government intervention to provide a subsidy to support the deployment of a gigabit speed broadband network to cover premises across Northern Ireland that would otherwise not be provided with access to gigabit broadband speeds, as these premises do not present a commercially viable investment for a private sector operator. Project Gigabit is a strategically important initiative for Northern Ireland’s society (people and businesses), is a key enabler for delivering the DfE Minister’s Economic Vision, and will help to maintain Northern Ireland’s connectivity and infrastructure at a level that is competitive with Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland and is attractive to inward investment. As part of this DfE, along with Building Digital UK (BDUK), is developing a procurement approach to incentivise the telecoms market to invest in delivering gigabit capable wholesale infrastructure in areas not considered to be commercially viable for new infrastructure. This procurement approach will be a successor to the much-needed Superfast broadband programme and DfE’s broadband intervention, Project Stratum. The overarching aim of Project Gigabit is, simply stated, to provide universal, or near universal, gigabit-capable broadband coverage in Northern Ireland by increasing provision in areas which are currently poorly served and not capable of attracting wholly commercial investment. The project aim can be categorised into three key objectives: • Address market failure, whilst maintaining and promoting competition within the market. It is currently not commercially viable for telecoms service providers to extend gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure to many of the presently unserved premises in Northern Ireland. • Maximise gigabit-capable broadband coverage in a way that is balanced and supportive of rural areas and communities. • Choose procurement and delivery options which seek to maximise value for money (in terms of a balance of quality of technology/products, coverage, timescale and cost to Government), mitigate risk, incentivise performance and meet affordability criteria for Government and for end users. Additional information: The Supplier should note that there may be future changes in the scale of the services required during the term of the Contract that could not be identified or foreseen at the time of this procurement exercise, but which are consistent with the overall nature of the Authority’s’ current and future operational requirements for a gigabit speed broadband network to cover premises across Northern Ireland as defined in the specification and associated documents/appendices. In such circumstances, the Authority may seek to agree a modification to the Contract to facilitate the provision of such services by the Supplier, with the Charges. for such services to be determined in accordance with Clause 48 by reference to and consistent with the pricing parameters and assumptions used by the Supplier in its Financial Model and by reference to the mechanisms and protections provided in the Conditions of Contract. It is envisaged that such modifications would be made without requiring a new procurement procedure in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. An example of such changes could include future requirements to include premises identified through OMR / PR as “White” but the Authority has decided to defer build until later in the contract, and/or premises identified through OMR / PR as “Under Review”. Examples: • premises identified through OMR / PR as “White” which could be targeted. under a procurement but the contracting authority has decided to defer build until later in the contract for reasons which may include. the premises not being a priority for build within the Initial Scope; and/or • premises in areas where gigabit infrastructure may become. available through other means e.g. through commercial or voucher-funded build; and/or • premises identified through Open Market. Review / Public Review as “Under Review”. The Local Area Review process will be used to monitor developments in the Lot on an annual basis and if required further premises are added using contract change control subject to further funding being made available and that it represents VFM.

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply and installation of a liquid helium ("wet") cryostat fitted with high-field magnet - a cryomagnetic system - suitable for low-temperature physics experiments. The cryomagnetic system will form part of a research lab being established via a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship funding award, for measuring high-field transport and magnetic properties of quantum materials at low temperatures. The cryomagnet is intended to accommodate a variety of probes and inserts, sourced separately, to allow a wide range of sample environment including access to very low temperature as well as a strong, homogenous and stable magnetic field. Funding stipulates that the system will be open to users outside the group, so the equipment interface should be user friendly, and should interface with existing computer code used in the group.
The cryomagnetic system should house a superconducting magnet assembly with a maximum field strength of at least 16 T (with reversible polarity). The magnet must be able to be switched in and out of persistent-current or driven modes of operation in the standard manner for physics laboratory cryomagnets. Suitable current sources, cryogenic liquid monitors and temperature monitoring should also be included, with easy-to-use computer interfaces to allow MATLAB code to query all these values and send commands to control all aspects of the magnet, including magnetic field ramps.
The instrument should connect directly with the University of Birmingham's helium liquefier system. It should be delivered, installed, and tested on site with a maintenance and service package, with provision of on-site training.

section: Section II: Object

text: Value excluding VAT: £239,000

text: Value excluding VAT: £120,000

description: Data-processing machines (hardware)

procurementMethodRationale:
The Education Nacelle is unique as it is the real hardware you would find in a wind turbine nacelle, but safely packaged into a standalone system with a custom teaching interface to access data and software.  This differs significantly from (1) engineering and teaching simulations, that are only somewhat accurate but not accurate down to the hardware and (2) real wind turbine equipment where a huge cost is in the encasings (e.g., shell) which are built to be weather proof.
As we are only interested in the computing components, option 2 has been a dead end as talking to wind turbine suppliers often confuses them. They are unable to sell us just the important computing parts connected to engineering components scaled down to a classroom size, and they are also unable to change their products to be safe for a lab/classroom environment.
When we tried to buy components directly from wind turbine manufacturers, theses challenges we were unable to overcome.    The issue with (1) is as we are researching the cyber-physical security of wind turbines, simulation is not sufficient, we need the actual hardware and computing devices, just not all the extra engineering bits, and if we do need it, we need it scaled down for a safer (and more compact) lab setting.
One important aspect is this is a SIMENS based nacelle instead of a GE, which is very useful as our partners (e.g., ORE catapult) primarily use SEIMENS based turbines/nacelles.

1.	This notice is published as a rectification of the previous voluntary prior information notice (corrigendum) relating to the London Overground 3 Concession (as well as Docklands Light Railway and Transport for London Rail Concessions), which was published on Find a Tender on 3 April 2023 (notice reference 2023/S 000-009694). The future contractual arrangements are expected to be different to what was envisaged in that notice. This rectification notice relates specifically to London Overground 3 and not to the other opportunities set out in that prior information notice.
2.	Following further work, this rectification notice is intended to update the market as soon as possible about changes to certain information published in the previous prior information notice on 3 April 2023.
3.	It is currently expected that Rail for London Limited (RfL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), will be responsible for the procurement of London Overground 3. If a contract is awarded at the end of the procurement process, it is expected that RfL will enter into any such contract. RfL's address is the same as TfL's set out in section 1.1 above.
4.	Insofar as it relates to the London Overground 3 opportunity, the information set out in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of section II.2.14 of the voluntary prior information notice published on Find a Tender on 3 April 2023 remains applicable. Those paragraphs, insofar as they relate to the London Overground 3 opportunity, shall apply to this rectification notice as if they were set out in full herein.
5.	The information set out in paragraph 8 of the voluntary prior information notice published on Find a Tender on 3 April 2023 set out expectations at that time relating to the Docklands Light Railway opportunity which was the subject of the same notice. A separate rectification notice was published in respect of the Elizabeth line 2 and Transport for London Rail Concessions dated 24 October 2023 (notice reference 2023/S 000-031324). This notice does not impact the information set out in relation to the Docklands Light Railway or Elizabeth Line 2 opportunities.
6.	This rectification notice sets out current expectations relating to the London Overground 3 opportunity as at the date of its publication.
7.	This procurement is expected to be organised as a procurement conducted in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on public passenger transport services by rail and by road (Regulation 1370) as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 (Public Service Obligations in Transport) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (the Regulation 1370 Amendment Regulations).
8.	Regulation 1370 and the Regulation 1370 Amendment Regulations were revoked under paragraph 9 of Schedule 3 of The Public Service Obligations in Transport Regulations 2023 (the PSO Regulations). However, regulation 28(2) of the PSO Regulations provides that in relation to any procedure for the award of a public service contract that has commenced before 25 December 2023, Regulation 1370 and the Regulation 1370 Amendment Regulations are to continue to apply as they were in force immediately before 25 December 2023. This includes (at regulation 28(3) of the PSO Regulations) an information notice having been published under Article 7(2) of Regulation 1370 or any form of advertisement seeking offers or expressions of interest having been published.
9.	As noted in paragraph 1, a notice (2023/S 000-009694) was published in relation to London Overground 3 which is the subject of this notice (in addition to Docklands Light Railway and the Elizabeth Line which formed part of the same notice). This was therefore published prior to the 25 December 2023 date referred to in regulation 28(2) of the PSO Regulations. Accordingly, Regulation 1370 (as amended by the Regulation 1370 Amendment Regulations) will apply to this procurement.
10.	Regulation 1370/2007 requires a procedure to be adopted for competitive tendering which is open to all operators (with a preselection process permitted) and which is fair, observing the principles of transparency and non-discrimination. TfL/RfL intend to create a procurement process which meets these requirements. At this stage, TfL/RfL expect the procurement process to be, in broad terms, consistent with the competitive procedure with negotiation under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCRs). However, this should not be construed as TfL/RfL being bound to comply with the UCRs or voluntarily acceding to the UCRs or otherwise undertaking to comply with the UCRs. Regulation 1370/2007 will apply to this procurement. More information on the procurement process will be set out in the procurement documents issued at each stage of the procurement.

reviewDetails: The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) (as amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within 30 days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limit for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than 3 months after that date. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be “ineffective".
