rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The incumber supplier delivers for the whole of the Funding service and has the requisite experience and understanding of the intricacies of the various services and applications within, and so were best placed to deliver the merge. To re-procure would have let to significant increased costs of handover and upskilling a new supplier. The activity was too urgent for this to be a viable option.

description: Following a technical review conducted by the new Director of Technology, a piece of activity was brought into the Funding space to capitalise on technological synergies. It made more economic and technological sense to integrate this system with the Funding service as this was an already mature service, rather than having a completely separate platform be developed. This merging of the two systems has led to unexpected increased contract costs to accommodate. The product backlog across the portfolio has been greatly impacted due to this activity merger.

the absence of technical alternatives stems from the specialised compatibility, safety considerations, warranty implications, system integration, and regulatory compliance associated with the OEM software required for our fuel pumps' operation. This technical dependence on OEM software serves as a valid justification under Regulation 32(b) of the PCR2015 for the direct awarding of contracts related to these pumps without competition.

This is an outsource service and maintenance contract. The supplier is the original equipment manufacturer for all NHSBT centre fuel pumps.

type: price

title: Fuel Pump Maintenance & Software

status: complete

description:
Merridale fuel pumps are installed across NHSBT sites and are used to transfer fuel from bulk fuel tanks into all centre-based fleet and transport vehicles.
In 2016 Merridale Limited was awarded a 3-year contract for Fuel Pump Maintenance. The contract has since been extended via two further waivers and is due to expire on 29th February 2024.
There are currently 10 fuel pumps in use across NHSBT for which annual maintenance and extended warranties are in place. The extended warranties are renewed annually. The total cost is approx. £15,500 per annum including VAT and includes annual inspection and calibration visits and Fuelworks software licence/hosting.
The lifespan of Merridale pumps is 10+ years. Some of NHSBT’s fuel pumps are over 20 years old and are still in good condition. In 2021 Merridale modified and upgraded the pumps in line with the ATEX regulations.
The FuelWorks web-based reporting software hosted by Merridale Ltd is used by NHSBT, providing on-the spot, accurate data to monitor fuel usage, efficiency, stock, evaluating emissions and predict restocking requirements. Management information regarding Liveried fuel card and carbon emission data is also linked to the software. As the software is unique to Merridale it cannot be hosted by any other supplier.

As original equipment manufacturer of the pumps, Merridale are the only supplier to be able to maintain and provide spare parts for the fuel pumps. The FuelWorks software is unique to Merridale and cannot be hosted by any other supplier.

As per the recent update The Government's proposed ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars has been pushed back to 2035. We are estimating to still run our existing vehicles until 2042 and the NHSBT fleet will transition to electric vehicles before 2042. Extending the annual warranty of the existing fuel pumps will therefore need to continue. It is unlikely that fuel pumps will be replaced unless they reach end of life or a new NHSBT opens a new site. As per the discussion with stakeholder the procurement of any new pumps is not planned for next five years.

Merridale are not on any public sector framework agreements. As the choice of potential suppliers is restricted and with the move to electrification of vehicles, the proposal is to award a contract without any form of tender process.

title: The Supply of Promotional Materials

description: Promotional services

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
The Secretary of State for Defence intends to award a goods supply contract to The Royal Mint Limited for the supply of various promotional materials. This contract shall be delivered through The Royal Mint Limited’s designing and manufacturing of various promotional materials, that shall be created utilising materiel harvested and/or recovered from ex-HMS SWIFTSURE, the first Royal Navy nuclear submarine to be dismantled and recycled. The total estimated value of this procurement is £32,371 ex VAT. In accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/13/19, this procurement shall be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union in no longer appropriate. For the avoidance of confusion, this requirement is within the scope but below the specified threshold of the PCR 2015
It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation(s) 32(2)(b)(i) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This is because the proposed contractor’s identity and reputation intrinsically determines the unique character and value of the contract matter and its usefulness in its role as promotional material. In addition, The Royal Mint Limited are already working in partnership with the Defence Equipment Sales Authority to recycle ex-HMS SWIFTSURE, shall be processing materiel from the platform which can be recycled into the contract matter, have pre-existing knowledge of the platform and a strong, pre-existing, working relationship with the Authority.

description:
Hywel Dda University Health Board (“HDUHB”) has awarded a contract for the provision of Fixed Wire Electrical Testing Services of the mains electrical systems at all acute sites across the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion.
Electrical systems are integral parts of any modern building, but these systems are also highly dangerous. The risk of electrical shock and, in extreme cases, death are very real. Accordingly, it’s important that these electrical systems are regularly tested and maintained.
The five (5) year electrical test is a statutory requirement that HDUHB needs to adhere to. It is a series of tests that must be carried out every five (5) years on fixed electrical installations. These tests must be carried out by a qualified electrician and are statutory requirements as per the Electricity at Work Regulations and the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008). Upon the successful completion of a five (5) year electrical test, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (“EICR”) will be issued. Possession of an in-date EICR will underline the safety of HDUHB’s electrical systems and keep HDUHB in line with the relevant regulations.
Fixed wiring systems cover any electrical infrastructure which delivers electrical power from the supply to any equipment on site. The tests involved in generating the EICR are numerous and include:
- Inspecting the condition and suitability of earthing and bonding
- The serviceability of existing equipment such as sockets, light fittings, and switches
- Establishing the wiring system in place and the current condition of the wiring
- Detailing any instances of wear and tear and potential deterioration in existing electrical systems

performanceTerms: Five (5) Year Term.

ensured that patients and service users are at the forefront of shaping and designing their own service offer.

with partners to prevent children, young people and adults reaching a crisis point through the provision of a strong prevention and early intervention offer. It also puts
in place a joint plan for the provision of a number of important services for people with mental health challenges, including good advice and information, talking therapies and counselling, employment and training schemes, mental health support
in schools and supported housing.
The Bromley Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy is underpinned by a comprehensive needs assessment which sets out the evidence base for community and inpatient mental health and emotional wellbeing services in Bromley. The Bromley Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy sets out how LBB and the ICB
will together commission a range of prevention and early intervention community mental health services including the Bromley Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub.
