performanceTerms:
Staff (including sub-contractor staff) directly involved in the delivery of the Contract, must be paid at least the real Living Wage.
The Scottish Public Sector considers the payment of the real Living Wage to be a significant indicator of an employer's commitment to fair work practices and that payment of the real Living Wage is one of the clearest ways an employer can demonstrate that it takes a positive approach to its workforce.
The real Living Wage is a rate of pay which applies to all employees aged 18 and above and is sufficient to ensure that the recipient may enjoy an acceptable standard of living. There are two rates of the real Living Wage: the UK wide rate and the London rate. The rates are announced annually by the Living Wage Foundation.

description:
The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts.
Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their
financial strength and stability.
It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer
does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status;
the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which
demonstrates its financial strength/stability.
Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their
audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine
the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.
As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender
response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:
A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;
audited or unaudited (if the company has no legal audit requirement) accounts for any years trading to date, and
letter of support for the bidder’s bank setting out the level of financial support available to the business from the bank and for how long that
is available.
A bank letter of support should explain the amount and duration of financial support made available to the business by the bank and what
information, such as a business plan for the period 01/04/2024 – 31/03/2027, was considered by the bank in deciding to make that support
available. These are matters of fact not opinion so should be able to be given by any bank on the authority of their customer. It must be
understood, however, that the sufficiency or otherwise of the bank letter can only be judged after submission and assessment of all
Questionnaire responses so the provision of as much information as possible is encouraged.
All of this information must be in terms entirely satisfactory to the Purchasing Authority. We reserve the right (but are not obliged) to seek
additional clarification and/or supporting information from or about the bidder to satisfy us in this regard, for example, a bank reference.
Where a Tenderer does not meet the minimum financial requirements in its own right and wishes to rely on the financial standing of a
parent company, Tenderers should provide a statement that they commit to obtaining a parent company guarantee in the form attached in
the Standard Documents Parent Company Guarantee.
Where a consortium bid is received, the Score check score of each consortium member shall be assessed and each must achieve a Score
check score of 35 or above.
Where a sub-contractor material to the performance of the Contract or where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any
contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer may be required to confirm that the sub-contractor(s) has a Score check score of 35
or above The Council reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractor last 3 financial years' audited accounts and details of
significant changes since the last financial year end.

description: The procurement involves acquiring a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) multi-purpose probe for a research project focused on developing a family of light-emitting small molecules. The goal is to establish structure-property relationships between photophysical properties, intramolecular distances, and the identity of light-emitting chromophores. Equipment Supply: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) multi-purpose probe capable of precise measurement of molecular distances and structural characterization. Additional information: This project addresses the current limitations in designing small molecules with predictable light-emitting properties by enabling the precise control of molecular distances and chromophore identities. The inclusion of fluorine atoms in the chromophores will enhance emission wavelength tuning, crucial for developing viable biosensors.

description: The team is working on tunable and predictable small molecule light emitters from a fluorinated amine scaffolds project. Within this project, the team will build a structure-property relationship around two constrained amine scaffolds, with a particular focus on tuning their photoluminescent properties. This will involve the strategic incorporation of fluorine atoms, and the analysis of this small compound library will be supported by a Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe which enables simultaneous 1H and 19F decoupling of 13C NMR spectra. The probe will also support the characterisation of key intramolecular distances through the acquisition of 1H NOE spectra.

Award Decision makers:   Evaluation Panel, Surrey Heartlands Commissioning, Contracting and Commercial Committee - Meetings in  May and July 2024, Executive Director of Recovery and Sustainability
No Conflicts of Interest were declared for this competitive process.
The PSR Key Criteria were allocated in the following weightings:
Key Criteria 1: Quality & Innovation 25%
Key Criteria 2: Value 26%
Key Criteria 3: Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability    24%
Key Criteria 4: Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice 15%
Key Criteria 5: Social Value 10%
Key criteria 1-3 were of effective equal weighting due to an emphasis on the need for assurance regards service model quality, delivery, sustainability, and cost implications inherent therein.  Additionally, it was important to gain confidence in a bidder’s ability to mobilise the service efficiently demonstrating collaboration and team working during this time and for future service delivery.  The Authority sought a most economically advantageous response.  The number of technical evaluation questions posed for each Key Criteria 1-3 differed as the breadth of information altered hence the small percentage differences.  Key Criteria 4 and 5 were allocated a reduced weighting because some elements of Key Criteria 4 are outside of the control of the provider due to its referral receipt status.  Key criteria 5 was allocated the minimum weighting but this was still considered adequate for bidders to demonstrate their credentials in this arena with a weighting influential enough to impact their status in the procurement process.  The winning bidder achieved the highest scores in relation to Key Criteria 2, 4 and 5.

title: Maritime Museum Project Interpretative Designer ED-09-14

description:
The Maritime Museum and Archive Project is for a new museum to be located in existing listed buildings at Ebrington in Derry~Londonderry. Derry City and Strabane District Council is the Contracting Authority.
In 2015, following a Public Procurement Exercise for the Appointment of Maritime Museum Project Interpretative Designer for the delivery of the Maritime Museum and Archive Project, Tandem Design were the successful Economic Operator and were duly appointed for the provision of Interpretative design Services consultancy team professional consultancy services. Their tendered price was in the sum of £429,292.50. At the time of their appointment, it was anticipated that the project would be completed in 2019.
In 2018 the project was put on hold prior to the procurement of the Contractor, as it was awaiting funding. At that time, the Interpretative Designer had completed RIBA Stages 1-3 and part of RIBA Stage 4. Currently it is anticipated that the completion will be in 2026.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority,  intends that  the Interpretative Designer appointed in 2015, complete the commission for which they were appointed.
The project has been adversely affected by the high rates of inflation during recent years. Neither the high rates of inflation nor the protracted period of standstill of the project could have been reasonably foreseen by the appointed consultant at the time of tendering for the project in 2015.
Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority,  is minded to amend the contract with Tandem Design, by the introduction of the X1 clause to the NEC3 PSC to address the inflationary impact on fees for the remainder of the contract. It should be noted that the scope of the project has not significantly changed. The inflationary uplifts to the fees will increase the cost of the commission by approximately £65,000.
The scope of the project has not materially changed.
The original appointment was made using a NEC3 Option A  Professional Services Contract which did not include an X1 Clause (Price Adjustment for inflation clause). At the time of appointment of Tandem Design, it was anticipated that the project would be complete by 2019. The anticipated completion date is currently 2026, some seven years later. During this time there have been unprecedented inflationary rises, reflected by the CPI figures in excess of  30%. In order to mitigate this significant increase, it seems reasonable to apply the X1 clause going forward for the remainder of the project.
The Contracting Authority is minded that the proposed change to the contract is in accordance with  regulation 72 of the Public Procurement Regulations Contracts in .
The proposed change to the contract is compliant under part (1)b. The proposed change has been brought about circumstances which could not have been reasonably foresee, the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and the increases in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.

Under Public Procurement Regulations 72, a Voluntary Ex- Ante Transparency VEAT notice is required to cover a variation to the contract between Derry City and Strabane District Council, the Contracting Authority and the Integrated Consultant Team (ICT) led by Todd Architects for the Maritime Museum Project in Derry~ Londonderry.
The Contracting Authority is publishing this VEAT Notice to cover variation to the contract and for additional tasks to be carried out necessary as a result of changes in legislation, lapses in statutory approvals. It should be noted that the scope of the original commission is not deemed to have changed.

The Contracting Authority is of the opinion that had the X1 clause been included in the original tender, the tender selection would have remained unchanged. It would not have attracted additional participants to the tender process, nor would it have changed the candidates selected, nor the outcome of the tender selection.

Chelsea & Westminster NHS FT (CWFT) is seeking a managed service partner in the implementation of near-patient Chlamydia Trachomatis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (CT/NG) PCR testing and/or upgrading of existing CT/NG systems at their sexual health screening locations in Central/North-West London, to process approximately 260,000 CT/NG PCR tests per annum. The objective will be to have one supplier that can provide the most cost-effective solutions for each of CWFT’s four sexual health clinics, whilst being able to process the volumes required, and complying with the pre-requisites as defined in this document. To ensure one complete service solution, Suppliers might have to make use of third-party suppliers for tests, hardware and/or software that cannot be provided in-house. However, support for all hardware, software and materials will rest with the Supplier and CW will not enter any contracts with any third-party supplier.
By consolidating the CW sexual health CT/NG testing services across the four sites with a single supplier, CW is seeking to provide a more cost-effective and joined up testing service, while maintaining and exceeding the current levels of service and quality, in order to provide a first-class service to their clients.
The target Turnaround Time (TAT) is for tests to be predictable, measured as 80% within target time, turnaround time. It can be assumed that this time excludes receipt and registration but must include all sample tracking, preparation, batching, equipment run-time, validation and result transmission via the agreed interface to the clinic management system. The TAT target should allow for any breakdowns as well as planned and unplanned service costs. There must be sufficient redundancy in the system to accommodate this.

Suppliers must specify the workforce that will be required to safely operate the proposed system. This will factor into the financial evaluation and, will also be a consideration when setting the KPIs. Staff activities that should be allowed for must include all throughput and non-throughput related activities directly related to testing, including sample processing, materials management, equipment operation and maintenance, quality control activities and waste management. For costing purposes, supplier should specify FTEs to staff any proposed testing site, as per the operating hours outlined in the tender documentation.

The requirement is for testing to be available at any of the four main sites across Central London with transport of samples from community clinics to one of the four main clinic sites.

Suppliers should clearly state the total installed capacity that is available and the percentage of this capacity that will be available in case of critical failures of at least one instrument.

The Trust has a strong preference for work to be performed within the confines of the clinic and no space has been allocated for laboratory testing operations outside of the current clinic footprint. The available space per site is set in the tender documentation and should there be a need to expand beyond this space, or any further enabling works, this will be accounted for in the financial evaluation.

The four sites in scope are:
 - 10 Hammersmith Broadway Clinic
- John Hunter Clinic for Sexual Health
- 34 Dean Street
- Sexual Health Hounslow

title: GHFT Pathology Managed Service

description:
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHFT) Pathology department is critical in supporting the delivery of a high-quality, first-class clinical service that can meet the demand and needs of the acute Trust and our One Gloucestershire partners (Gloucestershire Primary care, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust), South Worcestershire Primary care, private healthcare providers and other out of county NHS healthcare organisations. The Pathology departments are spread across two sites (Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (GRH) and Cheltenham General Hospital (CGH)), with Haematology, Blood transfusion, and Chemical Pathology provided at both sites due to the acute clinical services at each site. Cellular Pathology services are consolidated and are based at CGH, and Immunology and Microbiology services are consolidated and are based at GRH.

THE NECESSITY OF PATHOLOGY SERVICE TRANSFORMATION
Pathology services form the backbone of modern healthcare, with 70-80% of clinical decisions and 95% of chronic disease pathways relying on their input. Several managed service contracts that support these critical services at GHFT are due to expire, and replacing these contracts is a minimum requirement to ensure the ongoing provision of pathology services, which are fundamental to almost every aspect of patient care.

INCREASING DEMAND AND COMPLEXITY
Over the past decade, national and local demand for pathology services has surged, becoming more complex and diverse. However, the ability to deliver a fit for the future pathology service is currently constrained by the estate occupied by the Pathology departments. Each discipline within Pathology has unique requirements for space, processing capacity, storage capacity, temperature control, and layout. Presenting workflow challenges that need to be reconfigured to achieve operational efficiency, lean processes, and income-generating capacity.

THE CASE FOR CHANGE
The case for transforming pathology services has been outlined from two primary sources: a review of the strategic context (national, local, organisational, and departmental) and initial engagement with internal stakeholders. These sources have aligned in identifying key areas that need to be addressed:
- Upcoming Contract Expirations: Pathology have three critical managed equipment service contracts nearing their expiration dates within the next 12 to 18 months. To maintain uninterrupted service provision, proactive measures must be taken.
- Aging Equipment: Outdated and increasingly unreliable equipment is leading to delays in service provision.
- Insufficient and Inefficient Use of Space: The current facilities do not optimally utilise available space, hindering efficient operations.
- Capacity and Process Inefficiencies: Growing demand and inefficient processes are straining the ability to meet current service requirements.
- Inefficient Resource Utilisation: Resources are not being used optimally, due to lack of lean and automated processes, leading to inefficiencies and potential waste.
- Ineffective Contract Management: Existing contract arrangements and contract management practices hinder effective supplier performance management.

THE PATH FORWARD
To address these challenges, a comprehensive transformation of pathology services is necessary. This transformation should encompass facility upgrades, process optimisations, equipment modernisation, and effective contract management strategies. By doing so, GHFT Pathology can not only meet the growing demand for services but also position itself as a provider of bespoke analytical suites, generating additional revenue streams through collaborations with other NHS organisations, research and innovation entities, and private sector partners.

SCOPE
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHFT) aims to procure a managed service contract(s) to support the operations of various Pathology departments at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital.
This Prior Information Notice serves to notify potential suppliers about GHFT's intention to initiate the procurement process. The specialisms within the scope of this procurement exercise are:
•	Pre & Post Analytics
•	Cellular Pathology
•	Chemical Pathology
•	Haematology, Immunology & Transfusion medicine
•	Infection Sciences
It has not yet been formally decided whether Point of Care testing is within the scope of this procurement.

THE MANAGED SERVICE
•	The scope of the Managed Service includes:
•	The provision and maintenance of all pathology equipment, associated IT interfaces, middleware, and licenses
•	The provision of all associated consumables, reagents, test kits, quality control/calibration material essential for the delivery of the activity
•	The transferring of existing assets and contracts
•	The end-to-end management and delivery of the Supply Chain, incorporating all products and the execution of a full Inventory Management System
This procurement exercise is not intended to be an outsourcing of the services to another provider. Instead, it is the provision and management of the equipment, technology, reagents, and other consumables. GHFT will provide the facilities for the suppliers to install their equipment and deliver their consumables and services, but GHFT's pathology department will provide the staff to operate the equipment and deliver the results/outcomes daily.
Due to the complex nature of these services, there is a requirement for flexibility in the procurement of often highly specialised, limited-option equipment, IT solutions, and consumables.

PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT
The Prior Information Notice aims to notify suppliers of this forthcoming procurement and seek expressions of interest from potential suppliers to participate in pre-market engagement activities (involving 'no obligation' site visits, response to a questionnaire, and attending meetings to provide feedback on the intended approach and present potential solutions). The Trust intends to commence this pre-market engagement by providing an opportunity for potential suppliers to visit the sites between May 28, 2024, and June 7, 2024. Further meetings will be planned for the end of June/beginning of July for suppliers to provide feedback.
To express your interest and for further information on site visits and the questionnaire, please refer to the documentation on Atamis, project ref 'C286110 GHFT Pathology Managed Service,' but please try to confirm your participation in pre-market engagement activities and your preference for a site visit by May 23, 2024.
Prior to the publication of the contract notice, GHFT will endeavour to share draft specifications, over-arching terms and conditions, and other relevant tender documentation, although this cannot be guaranteed.

PROCUREMENT PROCESS & TIMESCALES
The routes for procuring the managed service contract will be subject to the new Procurement Regulations 2024, due to take effect from October 2024, which replaces the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
GHFT will undertake its own procurement process, as opposed to using an existing route to market (i.e., via a Framework Agreement), as the complexities involved in this procurement are better addressed through running their own procedure and using documentation bespoke to their requirements/approach.
The formal publication of the procurement is planned for November/December 2024, and the Authority intends to work to a timescale to ensure that the award of the contract is complete by October 2025, to coincide with the end of their largest managed service contract, with an implementation period thereafter.
The most advantageous combination of cost, quality, and sustainability to meet the requirements has yet to be discussed in detail but should look to give greater benefit to suppliers who can better address the problem statements while offering value for money.
The Authority reserves the right to change its approach, the scope of the procurement, the procurement procedure, and timelines as a result of the pre-market engagement or any further engagement. For the avoidance of doubt, suppliers do not need to participate in the pre-market engagement activities to be eligible to submit a formal bid when the procurement formally commences.

FINANCIALS
The Total Cost of Ownership is projected to fall within the range of £143 million to £225 million, excluding VAT. This estimate is based on contract durations spanning a minimum of 10 years to a maximum of 15 years. The primary cost driver is rooted in current spending levels, with anticipated growth rates, inflation rates, and a risk component incorporated into the cost estimates. The projections have been designed with built-in flexibility, allowing for the repatriation of tests and the ability to adapt to regulatory changes, technological advancements, evolving industry practices, and equipment refresh. However, costs for construction and enabling works are not included in the figures above but are intended to be clarified as part of pre-market engagement activities.  NOTE: The trust is planning but has yet to receive approval for moving the Mortuary out the current spaced occupied at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital; this creates an opportunity for this space to be utilised by the Pathology departments. As part of pre-market engagement we are asking potential suppliers to look at the entire footprint currently occupied by the pathology departments and the mortuary, to develop high level proposals and costings as to how the space can best be utilised, to improve workflow and enable greater collocation at the same site and on the same floor

Invoiced spend with suppliers currently InScope for the most recent 12-month period is circa £11.02M (Qty 139 suppliers), where the top 50 suppliers represent 97.2% of spend, and the top 10 suppliers represent 80% of spend. NOTE: Expenditure with other NHS bodies is mostly linked with send-away tests, apart from NHS Supply Chain, where expenditure is mostly on consumables.
