Appendix B Fidelity Assurance Specification

description: Tender notice on Find a Tender

description:
Connect to Work will be delivered using two of the most recognised quality standards for supported employment: IPS and SEQF. The Fidelity Assurance requirement supplements the delivery of Connect to Work by supporting delivery partners in following the requirements of the IPS and SEQF supported employment models. Both models have Fidelity Scales. The Fidelity Assurance Supplier will be required to deliver the Fidelity Assurance services across England and Wales.
DWP will fund delivery of the Fidelity Assurance requirement for IPS and SEQF through one contract. The Authority has considered whether the Fidelity Assurance services could reasonably be supplied under more than one contract by dividing the procurement into lots based on geographical area. The Authority has concluded that splitting the procurement into lots could make the requirement disproportionately expensive to manage and increase the technical risk to deliver the requirement.
The Authority is awarding a public contract under section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023. The award of that public contract was through an open procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(a) of the PA 2023, The procurement for the award of that public contract was conducted in accordance with sections 20(1) and (2)(a) the Procurement Act 2023 as an open procedure for the award of a light touch contract.

riskDetails:
Volume of Fidelity Assessments
The Volume of Fidelity Assessments are driven by the number of Delivery Partners instructed by Accountable Bodies to carry out any part of Connect to Work on behalf of the Accountable Body in the Delivery Area. Until a Delivery Area commences delivery of Connect to Work it is not known how many Delivery Partners will be delivering Connect to Work in that Delivery Area. If the average number of Delivery Partners across all Delivery Areas exceeds the Should Cost Model assumptions of 10 per Delivery Area, there is a risk that the contract cannot be performed to the satisfaction of the Authority. The risk is assigned to the Fidelity Assurance Supplier. The contract addresses some of the potential impacts of such risks through the structure of the KPIs which provide the Fidelity Assurance Supplier at least 9 months' notice prior to the Fidelity Assessment being required and a 4 month window to carry out each Fidelity Assessment.

financialTerms: The Fidelity Assurance Supplier must be prepared to use electronic purchase to pay (P2P) routes, including Catalogue and eInvoicing. The Fidelity Assurance Supplier must be prepared to work with the Authority to set up and test all electronic P2P routes. This may involve creating technical ordering and invoice files, including working with our ERP system service suppliers and systems.

Introduction
The Town Council requires a supplier for the provision of Developing a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield (2026-2036) and to Develop and Coordinate a Quincentenary Programme to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the Towns Royal Charter. The contract period for the strategy will be for a maximum of 6 months commencing Monday 2nd June 2025 until Friday 28th November 2025. The contract for development and coordination of the quincentenary programme will be from 2nd June 2025 until 28th November 2025 and then extended by mutual agreement until 31st December 2028.
Requirements/Specification
This tender is to Develop a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield including a comprehensive engagement plan, to ensure the resulting 'final draft' has been co-created and tested across the town and its people.
The development and coordination of the quincentenary programme (delivered from May 2027 to the end of December 2028) will also require a comprehensive engagement plan, which will have considerable crossover with that of the strategy, engaging with the Arts, Culture, History, Heritage, Friends of Groups, Sporting and other community organisations. The involvement of young people in the planning of the events will also be crucial to the success of the quincentenary celebrations and the part they will play in laying the foundation of the Town for future generations.
Why develop a Cultural Strategy?
•	Culture is who we are, it's our heritage and future, it's how we live our lives and express our identities and it's the glue that brings and keeps communities together.
•	Culture is increasingly understood as an important driver of economic growth and placemaking. There is a growing acceptance of just how important cultural participation is to citizens' well-being, opportunity, and community cohesion.
•	Celebrating the Town's culture can strengthen the sector and bring it closer together, to share best practice, create complimentary activity and strengthen the cultural offer. To help do that, there needs to be a shared vision for culture, and this can be developed through the process of creating a cultural strategy for the Town.
•	A strong cultural sector enriches cultural life and contributes to a welcoming, distinctive and attractive place.
•	A very broad definition of Culture is being used for this work. It's not just the arts but the whole range of cultural expressions and activities including food, sport and ways of life. We're not just thinking about specific services like libraries, museums etc. We want to think across public, private and the third sectors. We're not focused on traditional high-end culture but on the whole rich mixture of cultures in our town. We want to think big, but that means engaging from grassroots to world class.
Quincentenary celebrations
•	The Sutton Coldfield Royal Charter was granted on 16 December 1528. In 1527, John Harman founded Bishop Vesey Grammar school (BVGS).  BVGS plans to commence its 500-year celebrations with a Founder's Day Community Service at Holy Trinity and social celebration in May 2027 which could see the launch of 18 months of celebrations leading up the 500-year anniversary of the Royal Charter in December 2028.
•	The quincentenary celebrations are an opportunity for the town to express its identity and engage with all residents through new cultural activity and participation. The programme should delight audiences, creating joy and happiness and embed a sense of belonging and community pride.
•	To develop a joined up 'town wide' programme for the quincentenary, it is proposed that the Town Council leads on the establishment of an Organising Committee that is responsible for overseeing the planning and development of the quincentenary celebrations.
•	The proposed core membership of the Committee will include the local MP, West Midlands Lieutenancy and representatives from Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council, Birmingham City Council, A Sutton Coldfield Alderman, Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust, Holy Trinity Parish Church and Bishop Vesey Grammar School.
•	The successful supplier will therefore need to work closely with and for the Organising Committee.
Existing documents, and key information, that can support this work and the implementation of the strategy
•	Officers from the Town Council will support the delivery of this strategy, for example, by providing networking contacts and introductions.
Existing information that needs building on for this work includes:
•	Birmingham's Existing Cultural Strategy.
•	Definition of Culture - Appendix A sets out the very broad definition of culture that needs to be used for this piece of work.
•	Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council`s Strategic Plan 2024-2028.
•	The new prospectus for the Town Fund is renamed the Plan for Neighbourhoods. The £20m fund for Royal Sutton Coldfield has been confirmed.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/plan-for-neighbourhoods-prospectus-and-tools/plan-for-neighbourhoods-prospectus
•	There are three priority themes, thriving places, stronger communities and taking back control.
•	There are also pre-approved interventions which would not require a separate business case.
•	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/plan-for-neighbourhoods-prospectus-and-tools/plan-for-neighbourhoods-pre-approved-interventions
2.	Requirements - Specification/Brief
The Town Council is seeking an individual or organisation to lead our thinking on these cultural issues in a visionary and highly visible way, and to use the 500-year celebrations as a catalyst to sustain and improve the town's cultural offer going forward. Specific work for this contract includes the following:
•	Coordinate, develop and write a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield, for the 10-year period 2026-2036. This builds on consultation work and elements of existing strategies and priorities.
To achieve this, certain questions need to be answered about what the cultural strategy is, including:
o	What is the fundamental nature of Sutton Coldfield's distinctive cultural offer, and what should we be trying to achieve? What are the core strengths on which we should build?
o	What do we need to do to establish Sutton Coldfield's cultural identity, USP, and strengthen its cultural ecosystem so that culture drives the success of the town for all its residents?
o	What would a concise 'high level' cultural proposition look like, that can drive the co-creation process initially?
o	How exactly should this cultural strategy connect across into other areas, from healthcare to digital?
Then the how we begin to deliver it as the Town Council and which key partners can best help drive forward the vision:
o	How should we now organise ourselves as a council and sector to support culture and gain the benefits of culture for our citizens? What are the key elements of an effective culture strategy for Sutton Coldfield?
•	Develop and deliver a detailed Engagement Plan that will enable a fully co-designed and collaborative process that is owned by the town and its people for both the strategy and the 500-year celebration programme.
•	Set out a cultural identity for Sutton Coldfield; a statement of what culture means to our people, a brand that is worthy of putting the town on a regional and national stage.
•	Ensure the strategy references children and young people and connects to other strategies and frameworks for the town.
•	Provide sufficient visual and on-line assets that enable this strategy to be presented as a 'finished final draft' and function as a 'Living Document', that can be easily viewed and commented on. This strategy should be as concise and clear as possible.
•	Provide best practice on promoting a diverse cultural offer for our residents to participate in and experience.
•	Develop a deliverable programme that will bring the strategy to life, up to, during and beyond the quincentenary celebrations.
Quincentenary celebrations
•	Under the stewardship of the Organising Committee, coordinate the 500-year celebration programme around key signature events at the start in May 2027, in the summer of 2027 & 2028 and the finish in December 2028.
•	Develop a programme of activity with community organisations that represent the town`s identity and its communities.
•	Implement effective digital communication and social media campaigns. Also help create         printed marketing materials to support, communicate and promote the programme of events.
•	Establish (with the Organising Committee) key performance indicators to measure the reach and impact of the programme. Present interim finding halfway through the programme and a full evaluation report at the end.
•	Include regular communication with the Town Council`s officers and the Organising Committee during the contract, including for example, initial high-level proposition, summaries of thinking around methodology used, interim findings, thinking so far on different aspects of the work, etc.
Budget
The total amount payable for this contract, i.e. for the development of the cultural strategy and the development and coordination of the 500-year programme will not exceed £150,000 excluding VAT (including expenses and travel).

Warwickshire Property Development Ltd (WPD) a subsidiary of Warwickshire Property & Development Group Ltd (WPDG) is the arms length development and delivery vehicle of Warwickshire County Council (WCC).
The company is looking to ultimately appoint an experienced residential property developer or main contractor to deliver all services associated with the redevelopment of this vacant and surplus development site.
The site benefits from an allocation in the made Ilmington Neighbourhood Plan for residential development. An indicative scheme of 27 dwellings is currently drafted but the appointed contracting partner will be required to work with the client team to determine the true and appropriate extent of the scheme.
Main contractor services required but not limited to the following:
- Working up a full planning application and achieving an implementable consent following the entering into of a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA).
- Discharge of relevant planning conditions as required to facilitate scheme delivery.
- Undertake all required preparatory works on site including constructing any temporary and permanent scheme access, site clearance, cut & fill, establishing site levels, installation of drainage, power, water and other services as required, construction of the houses from foundation until fit out to an agreed specification so that the completed houses are ready for market sale, and affordable dwellings are packaged for sale to a registered provider.
- Establishing a sales suite/show home or other as may be required and agreed between parties.
- The completed houses are to be constructed to achieve a minimum EPC B.
- Completion of all necessary external works, road adoption and technical approvals for utilities connections.
- All necessary aftersales requirements and satisfaction of snagging and rectifications within the 12 month rectification period.
For the avoidance of doubt WPD will take all sales risk and fund the entirety of the PCSA and subject to satisfactory completion of the PCSA parties can then enter into a JCT D&B contract for the construction works which will be fully funded by WPD.
Although WPD are taking the sales risk, a contracting partner who understands the market, setting up a sales presence and utilising in house routes to market can be considered as a proposal within any tender return in addition to 'typical' contractor related services.

procurementMethodRationale: Council of RFCA and 13 legally autonomous RFCAs have moved onto the Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS) contracts as of 1 Aug 2024.  Work on getting grounds maintenance within the FDIS contract has been ongoing since ISD and includes new drawings of all sites by region.  This work took longer than the anticipated 6 month time frame and from 1 April 2025 , sites have been left with no grounds maintenance making them unsightly, inviting anti-social behaviour and a risk to health and safety.  It was necessary to put in place arrangements until 1 April 2026, when all RFCAs will have grounds maintenance provision written into the FDIS contracts through a contract variation.

title: Management of the Information and Advice Quality Framework for Wales (IAQF) Services

description:
The Welsh Government developed the Information and Advice Quality Framework for Wales (IAQF) in response to the serious concern that there was a lack of consistency and understanding amongst providers of what constitutes a quality information and advice service, and this was a barrier to collaborative working.
The IAQF was published in 2019 and many independently owned Advice Quality Standards operating in the UK have now applied for and been awarded IAQF Approved Accrediting Body status. An advice provider in Wales who holds a quality standard awarded by an IAQF accredited body is able to display the IAQF logo, demonstrating that their service has been independently assessed as meeting the Welsh Government’s expectations of a quality assured advice service.
The IAQF continues to seek to provide a consistent approach to ensuring and assuring quality information, advice and guidance for the people of Wales.
The IAQF Wales has been designed on the agreed components of good quality information and advice found within existing quality standards and seven Quality Areas.
In 2022, Welsh Government supported the review of the IAQF and the associated accreditation processes and improved both as necessary. Further information can be found  https://www.gov.wales/information-and-advice-quality-framework-html.
The Welsh Government believe people of Wales should be served by quality assured advice services and gave a commitment that it intended to only grant fund generalist and specialist advice services who hold an Advice Quality Standard awarded by an IAQF Accredited Body. This commitment can be seen in the recent recommissioning of the Welsh Government’s Single Advice Fund services.
The Welsh Government is now seeking to appoint an independent partner  to manage the IAQF Independent Assessment Service for up to 3 years.
The successful bidder will be required to a provide a range of support services through the new contract which will include:
•	Management of all processes relating to the successful operation of the Information and Advice Quality Framework for Wales (IAQF) Independent Assessment Service;
•	Managing the reassessment process of existing IAQF Accredited Bodies for Standards   Owners who wish to become quality assured under an Advice Quality Standard with the IAQF.
•	Provide guidance, support and advice to Standard Owners.
•	Develop and implement a Wales wide communication strategy to raise awareness of the IAQF amongst stakeholders,
•	Engage with other funders of advice services, including local authorities, to promote  and encourage the use of Welsh Government’s approach and prioritise funding for advice providers who hold an Advice Quality Standard awarded by an IAQF Accredited Body.
•	Deliver advice and practical support to advice service providers, helping them apply for a quality standard for the first time.
•	 Provide expert advice to Welsh Government to improve the service.
•	Explore options on ways to help smaller providers who may be financially challenged to achieve the accreditation.
The successful bidder will be awarded an initial 12-month contract with options to extend for a further 12 + 12 months for up to 3 years. A budget of up to GBP 80,000 exc. VAT is available per annum, with a potential total contract value of up to GBP 240,000 excluding VAT if the extension options are awarded.
Full details of the opportunity will be included in the tender documentation which  we anticipate will be published in Summer 2025. Please record your interest to bid for this opportunity via this sell2wales Preliminary Market Engagement notice.

In July 2020 Conwy County Borough Council were awarded GBP6.075m from the Resilient Roads Fund for 2020/21. It was since been agreed with WG Transport Department that this funding will be spent on the purchase, importation and placement of rock armour and other forward facing structures in front of the existing sea wall, starting at the most vulnerable section of the promenade, immediately west of the works completed at Splash Point in 2021. No work coud be undertaken on raising the promenade until the revetment is placed, therefore placing rock armour in the most vulnerable section of promenade was the funders preferred option at the time and will be the primary focus of the initial phase of work related to the PQQ.
The following were the principal elements of the works which the authority intended to deliver with the funding already secured:
-Construction of a rock revetment seaward of the existing Victorian seawall, including outfall protection structures
-Construction of new access steps and ramp to the beach constructed using sheet piles clad in concrete,
-Construction of a fishing platform or platforms (or preparation works for future installed platforms),
Pending additional funding, the scope may potentially increase to include some or all of the following elements:
-Construction of concrete clad new steel sheet pile walls seaward of the existing seawall to widen the existing promenade which will include formation of new ‘headland’ structures as part of the promenade widening works to form ‘feature’ areas
-Raising the levels of the existing promenade and highway.
-Raising of existing sea wall with the introduction of new reinforced concrete sea walls above existing.
-Provision of new surface finishes and landscaping features, following a similar theme to the recently completed phased works and also incorporating new features such as raised planting areas and seating.
-New street lighting and street furniture.
-New car parking alignment and finishes.
-Resurfacing of sections of the existing promenade highway.
