Full description of this PIN is in box ii.2.14.1 Additional Information (due to character limits under this box) Additional information: Defra are looking to engage the market to understand the market’s appetite to participate in a competition for a replacement contract for work relating to bus retrofit and the Clean Vehicle Retrofit Accreditation Scheme (CVRAS). This will include evidence gathering and policy advice functions in support of improving the emissions performance of buses retrofitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction technology (SCRT) and the delivery and enforcement of the CVRAS scheme.

The CVRAS is a technology neutral certification scheme that approved suppliers and their vehicle retrofit products in support of emissions standards set by Clean Air Zones (CAZ) and other emissions-based charging schemes. Following a government investigation into the emissions performance of buses retrofitted with SCRT which showed performance to be mixed and generally not delivering the anticipated emission reductions, the CVRAS has been closed to new applications. A renewed enforcement process is being introduced from 12 December 2024 to ensure retrofitted buses are reporting emissions data through telematics systems.

This work programme will look to continue to work to deliver cleaner air in our towns and cities across the UK where NO2 exceedances dictate that action is needed at a local level. This programme will target the cleaning up of older and more polluting legacy vehicles that contribute to NO2 and particulate matter pollution. The UK Government has a legal obligation to meet ambient air quality limits and has a programme to focus on meeting legal concentrations of NO2 run by the Defra and DfT Joint Air Quality Unit, where this contract will be managed from.

The future contract may be split into lots and will need the winning supplier to deliver   requirements including:

Lot 1 - CVRAS
•	Hosting the CVRAS website and updating it as required
•	Maintaining the CVRAS Approved Device List and CVRAS Register, an online tool enabling quick reference to vehicle applications and approved suppliers
•	Carrying out annual audits of CVRAS accredited suppliers
•	Securely hosting certifications on the supplier’s intranet in accordance with published CVRAS requirements
•	Maintaining the associated scheme documentation
•	Responding to enquiries from retrofit suppliers, local authorities, bus operators and vehicle owners regarding retrofit technology and CVRAS
•	Support DVSA vehicle inspection services if and when required

Lot 2 - Telematics

•	Working closely with retrofit suppliers on providing accurate telematics data and improving the systems used
•	Hosting database systems and uploading data from multiple sources and interpreting it
•	Producing and sending out telematics performance information to bus operators at depot level on a fortnightly basis
•	Producing and disseminating telematics performance overview reports to Defra
•	Managing vehicle emissions data collection and interpretation
•	Stakeholder engagement including but not limited to bus retrofit suppliers, bus operators and local authorities.
•	Maintaining a list of retrofitted vehicles and uploading to appropriate CAZ vehicle checker databases
•	Monitoring and assessing retrofitted vehicle in-service performance.

Lot 3 – Retrofit Maintenance
•	Monitoring the real-world performance of buses included in retrofitted bus maintenance trials, including through telematics data
•	Providing advice and expertise on the bus retrofit market
•	Maintaining existing trusted relationships with suppliers, bus operators and local authorities
•	Inputting expertise and market knowledge to support the development of policy options regarding retrofitted bus maintenance and enforcement of emissions standards,
•	Production and dissemination of guidance on maintenance of bus retrofit SCR systems
•	Building awareness and upskill bus depot staff on benefits of improved maintenance of retrofitted SCR systems
•	Providing further evidence where needed to support policy development and/or evaluation.

As part of this procurement we would seek a Void Utility Management provider that will provide support to vulnerable residents, to help reduce the number of gas meters that are being capped within Hackney’s housing portfolio. We would expect the provider to work with the residents who find themselves in financial difficulty, signposting to relevant support services including the Financial Inclusion team at Hackney Council.
The chosen provider will be in a position to offer their gas & electricity supply product to the residents, benefiting financially from being the chosen provider, hence the reason for this being a concession contract. The residents will still retain the option to contract with a provider of their choice and not the concessionaire.

An essential part of UKAEA’s mission is to maximise the scientific and socioeconomic benefit from research at UKAEA, to demonstrate the near-term benefits of the fusion R&D programme. Technology transfer plays a critical role in delivering these benefits.
UKAEA has set up the Technology Transfer Hub (TTH) to identify opportunities for technology transfer into the wider fusion market and other sectors, and to drive the commercialisation of fusion-related technologies and knowhow for the benefit of the UK economy. The TTH is also tasked with developing novel concepts &/or capabilities to a degree where they could be commercialised through existing industry (e.g. licensing agreements, joint ventures) or spinout initiatives.
The capabilities within, and technologies emerging from, the fusion R&D programme cover a very wide range of areas including, but not limited to, novel materials, software, robotics, manufacturing, hydrogen isotope, magnet, plasma, sensors and diagnostics, radioactive waste management, thermal management (incl. liquid metal and molten salt-based technologies), electricity generation and microwave-related technologies. These technologies and related capabilities are anticipated to be potentially relevant to sectors such as Space, Civil Nuclear, Quantum, Healthcare, Aerospace, Advanced Computing, Hydrogen Economy, Oil & Gas, Defence, Transport, Energy, Scientific Research and many more.
This PIN will inform the TTH procurement strategies and help identify expertise that could work alongside the TTH. Some activities anticipated to support technology commercialisation and development efforts include:
•	Validating whether a capability or technology (of varying maturity) is relevant to a specific sector(s), e.g. does it address a gap or challenge in a specific sector.
•	Conducting an assessment of market(s) where a given capability or technology (of varying maturity) is relevant, optioneering to identify the market to target/prioritise and develop a go-to-market strategy.
•	Horizon scanning to develop an understanding of adjacent sectors.
•	Identifying potential customers, collaborators and/or partners to facilitate technology development and transfer.
•	Providing advice on commercialising a given capability/technology within a particular sector
•	Supporting spinout initiatives – identifying initial costs, the target customer base for the business, marketing strategy, a review of the competition, and projections of revenues and expenses.
•	Carrying out activities to validate a novel technology against requirements from a chosen field of application:
o	Small-scale build of prototypes and demonstrators.
o	Running simulations where they are more cost-effective but also produce results that facilitate exploitation of a technology, such as a software platform. Additional information: UKAEA invites initial expressions of interest from science, technology and engineering firms, consultancy groups, Academia, Research organisations, Catapults.  We may also send out an RFI during the duration of this PIN for further clarity.
The chosen procurement strategy will seek to compliment ongoing UKAEA ‘procurement routes/frameworks’

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) on behalf of the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) invites you to participate in a Request for Information (RFI) relating to the NHSCFA – Intelligence Database

The NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) is a health authority charged with identifying, investigating and preventing fraud and other economic crime within the NHS and the wider health group.  As a health authority focused entirely on counter fraud work, the NHSCFA is independent from other NHS bodies and directly accountable to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

As an intelligence-led organisation, the NHSCFA will use information from a wide range of sources to build a better understanding of the fraud risks faced by the NHS and develop creative, innovative and proportionate solutions to tackle fraud.

The NHSCFA use complex algorithms and data mining tools as a means to identify both normal behaviour and outliers in NHS data, within which fraudulent behaviour can be found. The resulting analyses are used to support ongoing investigations as well as inform the intelligence picture and guide fraud prevention steps.

One of the key tools used by the NHSCFA is an Intelligence Database used to collect and analyse intelligence data.  In the current process data is ingested into the database from several sources from automated imports from other systems to manual input using the forms functionality built into the current system with the ability to link any data entity to another.

An analytic tool is then used to analyse the data and draw entity link diagrams.

The NHSBSA is looking to run an RFI to understand what services are available within the market as well as what routes to market are available for the service (e.g. frameworks). This is prepare the NHSBSA for an upcoming procurement in early to mid-2025. Additional information: How to Participate

With a refurbished Bristol Temple Meads station at its heart the Bristol Temple Quarter regeneration project aims to establish the area as a world-class gateway to Bristol and the West of England that reflects and enhances the heritage of Brunel's Grade I listed station. A number of development sites around the station are currently in public ownership and offer the opportunity to deliver significant housing, commercial space and placemaking in a well-connected, central location.
The regeneration area is split into two:
•	Phase 1 covers a broad arc of land primarily from the northwest to the south of Temple Meads Station, which is mostly within the control of the BTQ Partners. Phase 1 benefits from a c.£95m grant from Homes England which will help deliver enabling infrastructure, including renovations to the station.
•	Phase 2 includes a larger area of land across St Philip's Marsh, located in an arc from the northeast to the southeast of the station.
The combined area of Phases 1 and 2 is approximately 135 hectares.
BTQ LLP's development partner is expected to have the opportunity to immediately progress regeneration at scale across land that is available within Phase 1; with concurrent support required from the partner to help confirm the scale of development that could viably be achieved in Phase 2. The development partner will be expected to support BTQ LLP in establishing a clear business case and determining the most effective method for delivery of Phase 2. Subject to performance outputs being achieved and gateway approvals, the LLP intends that the development partner would then take forward delivery of Phase 2.
Working collaboratively, BTQ LLP's ambition is to create thriving, well-connected, mixed communities that help tackle the housing, climate and ecological emergencies, boost the economy, and make the city-region fit for the 21st century. BTQ LLP will be seeking a development partner that shares these aspirations to deliver exemplar placemaking to transform Bristol Temple Quarter and deliver socially inclusive and sustainable growth for the wider community.
It is the intention to launch the procurement process in Q1 2025
More general detail on the wider project can be found on the website for the wider Bristol Temple Quarter area: https://www.bristoltemplequarter.com/

This specification outlines the development of a Mental Health Crisis Alternative in Redbridge, a service providing non-clinical, community-based mental health support. The service will focus on supporting those experiencing a self-defined mental health crisis who do not require immediate medical attention. It will offer timely interventions aimed at preventing escalation to statutory services like psychiatric liaison or emergency departments. This initiative aligns with local needs, addressing the unique demographic and socio-economic factors of Redbridge.

Strategic Service and Population Needs
The borough of Redbridge is home to a diverse population of approximately 310,260 people, with significant communities from White (34.86%), Asian (47.31%), Black (8.43%), Mixed (4.10%) and Other (5.35%) ethnicity backgrounds. The borough has a large South Asian community (Census 2023) and in the 17 neighbourhoods are amongst the 20% most income deprived in England with 1 in 4 adults and 1in 3 children in Redbridge living in poverty. (Annual Report 2023/24,Redbridge council). High levels of deprivation concentrated in the areas of IIford, Seven Kings.
There is a growing population of older adults, many of whom face barriers in accessing mental health services, such as language difficulties and stigma. Redbridge has a lived history of underrepresentation from its Asian community in mental health service presentations, highlighting the need for culturally appropriate outreach. The mental health needs of the population include common disorders like anxiety and depression, which contribute to emergency department (ED) attendances and require community-based alternatives to prevent escalation.
This service supports the objectives of the North East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) and aligns with the Redbridge Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), which emphasizes mental health as a key priority. Please see the link below for the London Borough of Redbridge Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) 2022:
•	Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The NHS Long-Term Plan and the North East London Joint Forward Plan highlight the importance of non-clinical, community-based crisis services that reduce the pressure on statutory services, emergency departments, and inpatient facilities. The Crisis Alternative will serve as a critical component of Redbridge ’s mental health crisis.

NELFT have experienced significant increase in referrals and complexity of service user presentations; resulting in increases in waiting times and high caseloads with the number of discharges back into primary care not matching the increase in referrals. The impact on NELFT services means high caseload levels which impacts on the ability to provide high quality care in a timely manner.  The expectation is that the crisis alternative reduces the pressure and demand on other services i.e. Emergency Departments, and supports those patients discharged back into primary care as part of the provision for patients not requiring clinical support in a crisis.

Service Aims
The primary aims of the Redbridge Mental Health Crisis Alternative are to:
•	Provide immediate, non-clinical support for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, preventing escalation to statutory services like emergency departments and psychiatric liaison teams
•	Reduce pressure on emergency services by offering a safe, non-medical alternative to hospital-based crisis interventions
•	Address mental health inequalities by providing targeted support to underserved and underrepresented groups in Redbridge including the homeless, LGBTQI+, older adults, black males and Asian/Asian British communities, utilising current peers support worker and volunteering resources
•	Promote early intervention and de-escalation through crisis listening, safety planning, and peer support, empowering individuals to manage their mental health and avoid future crises.
•	Enhance community resilience by offering practical support and linking individuals to appropriate local services, thereby reducing social isolation and promoting long-term mental wellbeing.
•	Collaborate with local VCSEs and statutory services to ensure an integrated care pathway, allowing smooth transitions between community and clinical services where needed.
•	Easy Access to provide a safe space that is easily accessible to all adults and older adults during the operating hours via self-referral, third party referral and walk-ins.

Service Model
Access and Referral Pathways
•	Self-Referral and Third-Party Referrals: The service will be accessible to anyone aged 18+ who is a resident and/or is registered to a GP in Redbridge, as well as referrals from family members, carers, VCSEs, and statutory services.
•	Hours of Operation: The Alternative will operate from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, seven days a week, providing out-of-hours support to residents.
•	Locations: The service will be delivered at accessible community venues.
Service Delivery
•	Crisis Support: The service will provide a safe, non-stigmatising environment for immediate emotional support. The core interventions include:
o	Crisis listening and de-escalation: One-to-one sessions to help individuals manage their distress and reduce the intensity of their crisis.
o	Safety Planning: Development of personalized crisis management plans, including practical coping strategies and signposting to other services.
o	Peer Support: Trained individuals with lived experience will offer non-clinical, empathetic support.
o	Outreach and Culturally Sensitive Support: Proactive in, ensuring communication in culturally appropriate ways through partnerships with local VCSEs, volunteers and peer support workers.

Budget: £150,000 PA
Contract Term: 2 years + 2 optional 12 month extensions

Staffing
The Crisis Alternative will be staffed by a combination of:
Peer Support Workers from diverse backgrounds, trained in crisis management.
•	Mental Health Practitioners for complex case management and oversight.
•	Volunteers, particularly from local communities, including those with multilingual capabilities to support non-English speakers.

Safeguarding and Risk Management
•	The service will implement robust safeguarding policies and risk assessment protocols to ensure the safety of staff and service users.
•	Strong partnerships with statutory services, including the NELFT psychiatric liaison at King George Hospital, Queens Hospital and Whipps Cross Hospital will facilitate smooth escalation for individuals requiring higher-level interventions.

 Monitoring and Evaluation
The service will be monitored using the following key performance indicators (KPIs):
•	Number of individuals accessing the Alternative on a daily/weekly/monthly basis and of this number, how any many are currently referred or have been previously known to NELFT services.
•	Demographic data, including ethnicity and language, to ensure diverse community engagement.
•	Rates of successful crisis de-escalation and referrals to statutory services and referrals to non-statutory services.
•	Reduction in ED presentations for mental health crises in Adult Social Care, Adult Mental Health Services, Housing, Talking Therapies, Urgent Care Centres and A&E.
•	User and carer feedback to assess service satisfaction and cultural appropriateness.

The purpose of this PIN is to initiate market consultation and is not being used as a call for competition.
The Department for Education is seeking early market engagement on developing best practice guidance and resources for local authority delivery against the planned new legal duty to offer family group decision making (FGDM) meetings.
As set out in the recently published CSC Policy Paper we seek to legislate to mandate local authorities to offer FGDM meetings to all families at the pre-proceedings stage (i.e. families with children on the edge of care). This will support the Department’s objectives of keeping children safe and helping families thrive, with the support of family networks.
The Department plans to run a market engagement event, to give prospective suppliers insight into the developing requirements for this potential procurement.
As part of this process, we are interested in gathering insight from suppliers and organisations of all sizes in the following areas:
Providers who will be interested in competing for a contract to develop best practice guidance and resources for local authorities to deliver FGDM meetings safely and successfully.
We may use an online questionnaire to collate responses. This questionnaire will not be used as part of any competition nor evaluated and will be used only for the purposes of gathering information to help shape the requirements and the ITT.
A Pre Market Engagement event will be held on Friday 13 December 2024,10.30-11.30 , which will provide further information on the developing requirements.
For suppliers interested in attending this initial on line Pre Market Engagement event, please indicate your interest by emailing Vicki.Gregg@education.gov.uk, by midday 11th December. A MS teams invite will be forwarded to you prior to the online event.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: No additional services required this is to correct the estimated value.

This modification is required to increase the estimated lifetime value of the framework agreement to facilitate the shift away from the current ChargePlace Scotland delivery model.  The incumbent operator will now be required to wind-down all aspects of the CPS service, including transitioning assets to many new charge point operators, requiring additional time and funding to ensure a seamless, managed closure of the CPS network.
This modification includes an amendment to the estimated value of the framework which was originally anticipated to be 5 million (GBP) over 24+12+12 months in line with the Short Description of the Contract Notice (Ref: FEB382111).
This is the estimated value for any remaining Call-Offs made to the end of the period of the Framework Agreement.

The service is a social prescribing link worker offer to support adults with non-medical needs that affect health and wellbeing. In social prescribing a variety of health care professionals, social care, community teams, statutory services and Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprises (VCFSE) refer people to a social prescribing link worker (SPLW) as well as self-referrals. SPLWs give people time, focusing on 'what matters to me?' to coproduce a simple personalised care and support plan (PCSP), and support people to take control of their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing is an all-age, whole population approach that works particularly well for people who:
•	have one or more long term conditions;
•	need support with low level mental health issues;
•	are lonely or isolated;
•	have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
The services use a "what matters to me" approach to create a personalised care and support plan with the person and aims to support people with addressing wider determinants of health to enable better health and wellbeing close to home and in their community.
In each INT area, individuals will access the Connect for Health programme by self-referral or be referred by GPs and other health staff, social care providers, or any other professional. They will meet with trained Connect for Health staff (a Link Worker or equivalent) who will arrange an initial 'Discovery Session' to identify what is important to them, including starting to explore their goals and micro-goals. They will together develop a personalised care and support plan (PCSP) identifying their interests and priorities and identify ways of using their strengths to build resilience and empower them to make choices that support their own health and wellbeing. As well as supporting them over a period of weeks or months, the Connect for health community connector or adviser will signpost them to appropriate local sources of support, including services and groups, which are appropriate and proportionate to their needs, ideally using the Suffolk Warm Handover Scheme.
Five years of delivery of the Connect for health service has shown that tailored support from a dedicated worker focussed on what matters most to the individual, and a network of connections into non-clinical support reduces demand on NHS and social care services (such as GPs, accident and emergency departments and social workers) by decreasing the number of occasions that clinical appointments are required by individuals with non-medical needs.
The contract will commence 1 April 2025 and will end on 31 March 2027. Any extension of the contract is subject to funding.
NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board are awarding the contract named within this notice under the Direct Award C process which is outlined within the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.  The provider named in this notice is an existing provider and has been reviewed through a Key Criteria assessment to ensure the awarding body is satisfied with current performance and reasonably expects the provider to be able to satisfy the contract which is the subject of this notice.  The contract which is the subject of this notice has not changed considerably when compared with the existing / previous contract delivered by the named provider.
The ICB may wish to introduce additional services during the lifetime of the contract ("Contract modifications"). Such contract modifications will be contemplated where additional requirements are similar and or complementary to the services already included in the Specification, at any given time. Such expansion would be by the addition of services commissioned by the Authority as named in the Contract Notice. To this end, after the award of contract, there is a possibility that the contract may be varied as allowable in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Additional information: The existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard.
