The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population integrated with their additional pharmacy contracts. CPV 85149000-5 pharmacy services.

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS.

This award has been made following the Direct Award process B.

he lifetime value of this contract is based on patient choice, therefore the overall value of this contract will vary depending on patient activity over the contract period.

The contract runs from 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025.

This is an existing service with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme.

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (formerly Buckinghamshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust) and Enterprise Healthcare Limited ("Enterprise") entered the Project Agreement dated 21 May 2004 under the Government's Private Finance Initiative for, inter alia, the development of the site of the Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the provision of certain services, including facilities management services, further detailed therein.
Schedule 17 (Benchmarking and Market Testing Procedures) of the Project Agreement provides the terms and conditions upon which the Market Tested Services are to be Benchmarked and Market Tested.
By a contract also dated 21 May 2004, Enterprise engaged Sodexo Healthcare Services Limited (Company Number SC087304) (the "Original Service Provider") to carry out the Services (the "Original Service Contract").  The Original Service Provider has novated to Sodexo Limited (Company Number 0842846) (the “Service Provider”) its rights and obligations under the Original Service Contract (the "Service Contract").  The Service Contract similarly makes provision for Benchmarking and Market Testing of the Market Tested Services. (The Project Agreement and the Service Contract together are the "Project Documents".)
On or from [12 February 2024], the parties propose entering into deeds of variation in respect of the Project Documents to (amongst other changes) disapply the Market Testing provisions in the Project Documents for the remainder of the Project Term.
The deeds of variation:
1.	Remove the market testing obligations from the Project Documents in respect of the Market Tested Services;
2.	Provide for creation by the Service Provider of a committed fund for use by the Trust; and
3.	Effects other variations provided for in the documents.
The variations are permitted pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e)/72(8) because:
-	the modifications do not render the Project Documents materially different in character from the one originally concluded and do not extend the scope considerably. The nature of the tasks that may be performed by supplier remain the same as those set out in the original procurement i.e. FM Services
-	the modifications do not change the economic balance of the Project Documents in favour of a supplier in a way not originally provided for. There is no increase in the unitary charge to be paid by the Trust.
-	no new contractor replaces the original supplier.
-	the modification does not introduce conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure would have allowed for the admission of other candidates; allowed for the acceptance of other tenders; or attracted other participants.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust considers it is not bound to publish this notice but does so in the interests of transparency.

The existing 5 laser Fortessa is often booked to maximum capacity, resulting in long waiting times for researchers for who the capacity of the Cytoflex in its current set up is not sufficient. Additionally, the Cytoflex as it is a newer instrument easier to operate. StartUp and Calibration can be done independently of facility staff, unlike the Fortessa. This makes the Cytoflex usable out of ours and on weekends.
The laser upgrade is necessary to support the research by increasing the capacity of the facility, resulting in shorter waiting times and longer hours of availability for the researchers.

title: Green Finance Toolkit

description: Survey responses and stakeholder engagement

description:
Background
Putting in place the conditions to align global financial flows with the Paris Agreement's goals is a critical enabler of UK climate policy objectives, including to enable low carbon and climate resilient growth in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). To achieve this, in addition to direct and indirect mobilisation of finance there is a global need for a shift in the financial system.
The UK has a number of levers to develop and implement 'greening finance' measures, this includes furthering our domestic policy framework, engaging in multilateral supporting voluntary standards setting initiatives, and through green finance capacity building for EMDEs. Given the pace and scale of the change needed and the globally linked nature of the financial system, it is crucial that technical assistance efforts in EMDEs and global policy initiatives move in tandem to build lasting capacity, enable market access, and ensure environmental integrity. In the 2023 Green Finance Strategy, the UK therefore committed to work with industry and country partners to develop a toolkit for optimising support for the greening of financial systems in EMDEs. This project seeks to achieve this through the development of a Green Finance Toolkit which will provide research insights and tools to support UK government processes and strategy development, including in relation to UK International Climate Finance (ICF) programming.
Requirements
The Green Finance Toolkit package will include (1) an internal report to government providing lessons learned and recommendations for future specific UK interventions; (2) the development of a Diagnostic Toolkit based on report findings to support engagement with countries and the triaging and sequencing of technical assistance requests; and (3) a set of 'how to' guides setting out how to approach the development of a coherent green finance policy framework, incorporating learning from the UK's approach, to be used in international engagement.
These will be HMG-owned products with (1) being an internal document; (2) being used internally and with delivery partners; and (3) being used in external communications. Our preference is for (1) and (2) to be delivered by the same supplier given the close links between the two products, though we welcome separate proposals. (3) could be developed by a separate supplier if beneficial and we would welcome proposals from consortia. Additional information: Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents.
Tender was run using price per quality point methodology.
