NIE Networks has identified that a land and property management system is required which will manage all NIE Networks legal title, wayleave agreements and support the transition to faster payments/BACS providing an overall better level of customer satisfaction and ease of business process.
A Wayleave and Property Management System would provide centralised control and case management for property issues; including lease acquisitions, renewals, rent reviews and other property related issues and manage our 10,000 existing title records. Furthermore, the system will have the ability to contain all of the data on wayleave agreements, customer names and addresses and have the ability to pay out c£5m per year to over 120,000 grantors. The system must provide integration with the company GIS system (ESRI), Maximo, SAP finance and SoftCo document storage. Ideally the system would provide integration with a document signing program to facilitate a future electronic wayleave.
Should a separate decision be made to proceed with the procurement of the land and property management system, it will be launched under a separate process at a later date. Any interested parties will still be required to apply separately when launched & expressing an interest in the market engagement shall in no way be accepted as registering an interest. Additionally, expressing an interest in the market engagement will not be a prerequisite in relation to the future tender competition. Please note this is not a Call for Competition. Additional information: Project S1220 (2025) has been created on eSourcingNI; where parties can register their interest to attend the session. The ONLY way to register is via the secure messaging function in the project, by providing no more than two names of representatives from your organisation who will attend and also providing. a short description of your experience relevant to the requirements.

description:
The London Trams network was designed in the 1990s and entered service in 2000. It is managed by a control system comprising a Tram Management System (TMS) providing an operator interface in the control room and a distributed set of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) providing the interfaces with local systems  such as track to tram communication loops, tram stop information systems, local authority road junction controllers and points controllers. Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) provide SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) interfaces with substation switch controllers.
The PLCs are over 20 years old and life expired. The TMS was renewed around 2014 but is again approaching obsolescence. Both are critical assets for service delivery on the London Tram network.
The PLCs, housed in equipment cabinets at the trackside around the network, take information from the vehicles and the interfaced network equipment, converting it to an IP data stream for transmission via a fibre connection to the TMS.
The TMS, housed in the Tramslink Depot, collates the received information, providing a network overview on display screens in the control room indicating the location and status of vehicles and the status of the interfaced systems. Controllers use the TMS to manage and regulate traffic and deal with incidents to maintain the service level.
Both parts of the control system contain elements that are becoming obsolete and nearing life expiry.
TfL is therefore seeking a procurement of a single system to address the full control system requirements performed by  a single supplier.
The new control system will replace the equipment in the control room providing the interface used by the operations staff. Ensuring this interface meets the needs of the operator will be a critical activity in the project.
TfL is initially looking to receive any interest from external suppliers that would be interested in this future procurement and will be issuing their Market Sounding Questionnaire to all respondees to gain early market engagement for the project. Additional information: TfL uses the Ariba Portal for its procurement activity. All interested parties will need to register on the Ariba system to then receive our Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) for completion and return via the portal.

title: Control System Renewal Programme

description:
The London Trams Control system was originally installed in the late 1990s when the system was constructed and comprised two distinct elements:
1. The Trams Management System (TMS), installed in the depot at Therapia Lane and comprises software and hardware components responsible for taking information from equipment across the tram network and providing status and control capabilities to control room operational and maintenance staff. The TMS additionally performs a SCADA function, including software and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) at the various traction power supply substations positioned across the newtwork.
2. The Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) installed at various locations around the tram network, provide autonomous local decision making and control of aspects of the signalling and control system.
Communication between these elements is provided by a distributed fibre-optic communications system.
The PLCs are original equipment and have been in use since the inauguration of the network at the turn of the century. The TMS is a more recent installation having been replaced in 2014.
Both parts of the control system contain elements that are becoming obsolete and nearing life expiry.
TfL is therefore seeking a procurement of a single system to address the full control system requirements performed by  a single supplier.
The new control system will replace the equipment in the control room providing the interface used by the operations staff. Ensuring this interface meets the needs of the operator will be a critical activity in the project.

title: CAN - Optical Frequency Comb

description:
Comparison of optical frequency standards is essential for verifying that the clocks both locally and remotely at other national metrological institutes all agree to within their quoted uncertainties. These quoted uncertainties can be as low as ~1e-18, and so agreement between multiple clocks all operating at this level is required to verify that uncertainty. Remote clock comparisons at NPL, or between NPL and other European NMIs, are only possible at this uncertainty using optical frequency combs and telecoms optical fibre links to compare and transmit frequencies over long distances.
By using an optical frequency comb with the full flexibility to cover the 500 nm to 2000 nm wavelength range, the infrastructure will be in place to enable any of the likely candidates for an optical representation of the SI second to be compared over a short cross-site fibre link. The optical frequency comb will also require dedicated branches to link with the optical clocks and oscillators already available at NPL, these include the Sr+ at 674 nm, the Sr lattice at 698 nm, the Yb+ clocks at both 871 nm and 934 nm, and an ultrastable laser at 1064 nm.

description: Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)

procurementMethodRationale:
Proposed procurement was very similar to the competitive tender purchase of Frequency Combs previously conducted by T&F/OFM earlier in 2021 and again in 2023, which were purchased to equip state-of-the-art test and evaluation laboratories both in Teddington and in Glasgow.
Because of this, OFM have now installed and commissioned several of these systems and invested a substantial amount of time in developing a full understanding of the system. At the time of the previous procurements, the Menlo system was evaluated to provide the most appropriate solution to the T&F needs by far. By purchasing a similar system from the same supplier, the embedded expertise in this system can be exploited, and subsequently interoperability of systems can be developed.
Based on the specification from the previous tender processes, the systems from other two bidders were found to be the only ones capable of demonstrably meeting the repetition rate tunability and the required flexibility in a turn-key system. None of the alternative suppliers could guarantee or demonstrate the specification at the required level. Menlo systems scored high on demonstrated performance systems integration and service.
Since we have tested the market twice in the past few years with the same outcome, we are confident that Menlo Systems is the only provider that can meet the expected requirements for our purposes.

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) solely relates to early market engagement around the development of a once for Scotland Digital Heart Failure System.  The aim of any potential project will be to adopt digital technology that can display, capture and collate relevant clinical information and bring the benefits of enhanced vetting, investigation, and diagnostic decision-making methods to clinicians.
In order to reduce the time from referral with suspected heart failure to diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment the digital product will need to provide an active, near real-time dashboard of:
- patients referred with suspected heart failure who are awaiting diagnosis (diagnostic dashboard). This will greatly enhance the opportunity for clinicians to undertake Active Clinical Referral Triage (ACRT), allowing supervising teams to stratify risk, determine the need for and urgency of face-to-face review and, where appropriate, initiate up-front treatment ahead of formal diagnosis / review.
- patients newly diagnosed with heart failure who are awaiting initiation of core drug therapies (treatment dashboard) Additional information: Interested suppliers should complete the Pin Questionnaire and PIN Pricing Model attached.

Westmorland and Furness Council came into being on 1st April 2023. It is England’s third largest unitary authority by geographical area, and it’s more sparsely populated this presents challenges in terms of sustaining and delivering services and requires innovating approaches and continuous improvement.
The Council cares and believes everyone matters and will strive to ensure that citizens can gain access to the right service, in the right place at the right time.
Local authorities have a responsibility to ensure the provision of professional independent advocacy under the terms of:
• The Care Act 2014 and the Care and Support Statutory Guidance for
independent advocates for people using social care services.
• The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and its Code of Practice for independent mental
capacity act advocates.
• Mental Health Act 1983 and its Code of Practice for independent mental
capacity act advocates.
Best practice guidance (NICE 2022) states that advocacy providers should aim to support continuity by offering people the same advocate for different types of Advocacy. If this is not possible, they should ensure that systems for handover are in place that are not reliant on a new referral.
Local authorities must make appropriate arrangements for independent advocacy services to provide assistance to people making or intending to make complaints as described in the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

description: Development of software for military applications

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

description: Defence services, military defence services and civil defence services

procurementMethodRationale:
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
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 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 (as amended) for Technical Reasons.  This requirement is for the continued support and development of SeeByte’s suite of proprietary software which was privately developed by SeeByte.  This software is widely used in different applications by the Royal Navy and works collectively and collaboratively to optimise the operation and effectiveness of its autonomous vehicles (both surface and underwater).
This requirement is a direct continuation of the same services previously procured by the MoD, initially under the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory’s Science & Technology (S&T) programme and more recently by MHC.  Ensuring contractual cover to facilitate the continuing support and evolutionary development of this software is critical to maintaining the Royal Navy’s existing capability.  Given the history of the development of this software by SeeByte Limited, integrated into Royal Navy autonomous vehicles, there is no other reasonable alternative software available on the market that would meet the MoD’s continuing requirements.

title: Provision of Internal Audit, Counter Fraud and Security Management Services for Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board

description: Within the VEAT narrative allows for an additional 12 month extension.

description:
Following publication of a  voluntary ex ante transparency notice on the 19th January and conclusion of the 10 days standstill period the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board's (hereinafter referred to as "the Authority") is to award a contract (for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the Authority), to award a contract for Internal Audit, Counter Fraud and Security Management Services under Regulation 32 (2) (c) to TIAA Limited for a period of 24 months commencing 1st April 2024 with the option to extend for a further 12 months.
The Authority have observed a 10-day standstill from the date of publication of the VEAT.
The Authority is in a position where they need to secure a new Internal Audit contract from 1st April 24. There is a desire to work with existing system partners within the ICS given the strategic direction for the ICB and collaborative partners within the system. However, at this time the collaborative approach has not been possible or economically viable.
Given the existing provider has notified the ICB of risks to ongoing effective delivery/performance of this statutory service, and significantly reduced service is being proposed in order to cover basics (keeping ICB safe), the ICB can rely on Regulation 32 (2) (c) "insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with."

procurementMethodRationale:
Existing provider has reduced inadvertently cut back their resources due to financial climate which has had a major negative impact on their internal audit service delivered to the authority, creating a situation where there is not the workforce to deliver a robust / satisfactory internal audit. The incumbent has confirmed they are unable to continue with the contract post the natural contract expiry (31st March 2024).
In the interim the incumbent has sought additional capacity from elsewhere, and an agreement has been made by the incumbent and the authority's existing contract) to continue with the remainder of the contract term on this basis, but with a significantly reduced scope of service, focusing on those crucial audits required in Q3 particularly, to keep the authority safe.
The Authority is in a position where they need to secure a new Internal Audit contract from 1st April 24.
