description: Air-traffic control training

description: Air-traffic control services

procurementMethodRationale:
The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 3-year contract with a value of £710,000.00 to Saab AB (publ) for the provision of maintenance and support of a Remote Tower and Aircraft Last Look Check solutions at RNAS Predannack and RNAS Culdrose.
In accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to 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 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 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons.
This is because Royal Navy needs to be able to have the equipment maintained by Saab AB (publ) due to the bespoke physical configuration, site-specific component calibration [of the equipment] and the associated required cyber accreditation which can only be maintained if the contract is awarded to Saab AB (publ).  This together with Saab AB (publ)’s provision of an exclusive support portal to provide assessment and the support mechanisms required to provide effective technical support to the equipment mean that no other supplier can deliver the Authority’s requirements.

AHDB is highly valued by the cereals industry for its independent work on monitoring agrochemical residues and contaminants since the mid-1980s, with the latest phase running from 2016 and concluding in Summer 2025.  Food security and safety remains a priority issue for UK agriculture. There is need for continued investment in this work, as ensuring the safety and quality of the major UK cereals for human consumption and animal feed remains a top priority for the agricultural industry. This activity fits within the Independent, practical research and market intelligence pillar of the AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds sector plan (2022–2027).
Continued monitoring of contaminants in cereals across the supply chain is essential in order to provide scientific evidence and assure the cereal industry their products are safe, and of good quality, for use in the domestic and export markets.   The data generated by previous phases of the project has been used to inform discussion on new legislation and and growing demands on supply, as well as be a vital source to demonstrate due diligence.   AHDB is looking for a contractor to undertake these services.

These services are seasonal as related to harvest and dependent on Trade  partners receiving samples and sending them to the contractor timeously; this is imperative to align with the ongoing project and deliverables to industry. Additional information: This PIN is to advise interested bidders of this upcoming opportunity which will be published via Find a Tender.  We expect to advertise from the 7th to the 12th March 2025.

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to Corporate Services - Couriers category. The intention is to share some updates regarding the application of the new Procurement Act in this area. Other such notices may be published by other category teams within Defra, and if your business operates across multiple categories you should review all relevant notices for updates.

The Procurement Act 2023 is new legislation that will change the way the public sector buys goods and services. It aims to:
•	create a simpler and more flexible commercial system
•	open up public procurement to new entrants
•	take tougher action on underperforming suppliers
•	embed transparency throughout the commercial lifecycle

The changes are expected to start on 24 February 2025.

The existing legislation will apply until 24 February 2025. After 24 February 2025, it will only apply to procurements and contracts that started before this date, i.e. if the Invitation to Tender (ITT) was published, a voluntary transparency notice was published, or a pricing request was issued.

The new features for suppliers include:
•	a central digital platform
•	a simplified bidding process
•	more flexible commercial frameworks
•	a new duty on contracting authorities to consider barriers facing SMEs and VCSEs
•	a stronger exclusions framework

What will stay the same

If you are an existing or potential supplier to Defra and have live contracts, are a member of an existing framework, or are planning to bid for a procurement that has or will start prior to the new regime commencing, that arrangement will continue to be subject to the existing Public Contracting Regulations until the contract ends. The same principle applies to any contracts that are subject to any other associated procurement regulations, such as The Utilities Contracts Regulations.

What you need to do

If you are a supplier, you should:
•	read the government guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/transforming-public-procurement
•	sign up for regular TPP updates: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMgwpZ1kwubGUpKMLwu0ZpHS8zdWmXKgaHUJKRl-SwqQT95w/viewform
•	read the government TPP Knowledge Drops: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-official-transforming-public-procurement-knowledge-drops

The previous VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-030213 published on 20 September 2024 detailed EANI’s intention to apply a further uplift to the value of the contract of 4,000,000.00 GBP which did not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. EANI are now required to further increase the value of this contract. The overall nature of contract is not altered and the Modification value does not exceed 50 % of original contract value.
The total value of the extension is 4,000,000.00GBP.

title: Provision of Planned and Responsive Maintenance and Minor Works - Omagh M&E Lot 1

description: The award of a contract by Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union, in respect of the continued provision of a Term Service Contract for Maintenance (M&E) and Minor Works in the Western Education and Library Board area (Area 1), Contract Lot 3 as further described in OJEU Contract Noticeand as outlined in the previous VEAT issued 28 May 2021, 15 April 2022, 13 December 2022, 7 September 2023,  27 October 2023, 8 February 2024, 28 March 2024 and 20 September 2024.

description: Building construction work

procurementMethodRationale:
It has become necessary for EANI to further increase the value of this contract as additional expenditure has been incurred due to an unforeseen additional budget release by which the consequent additional funding facilitated the performance of additional works and the unforeseen demand particularly in respect of response works and for works to accommodate children with Special Education Needs. An unprecedented rise in statutory compliance works and reactive maintenance works that EANI were obligated to undertake has resulted in substantial expenditure.
Furthermore, it was anticipated at the time of publication of the previous VEAT Notice that EANI would have awarded another tender by the date hereof. It was expected this tender award would have resulted in a decreased demand in respect on this contract, however due to unforeseen circumstance, the award has been delayed.  Whilst it is anticipate EANI will make the award in the coming weeks, the delay has placed further demand on this contract and necessitated a further uplift of the contract value.
Additionally, the unexpected and recent withdrawal of the contractor responsible for ‘Ballymena M&E Lots 1 and 2’ has necessitated the reallocation of certain works to this Contract. Works that were originally intended to be carried out under a separate contract shall now be performed under this contract. While this reallocation has not yet caused any immediate financial pressure, it is highly anticipated and in order to pre-empt this significant additional cost, resulting from the reallocation of works to this Contract, it is crucial that a further uplift is applied to the contract value. By doing so, the financial impact of these works can be managed effectively, without causing disruptions to the overall project delivery.
These factors, combined with the continued effect of inflation which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Notice or subsequent VEAT Notices, has precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract stated in the previous VEAT Notice.
The total value of the extension is 4,000,000.00 GBP which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This uplift is applied in addition to the 4,000,000 GBP uplift applied and detailed in the preceding VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-030213 published on 20 September 2024.
The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure continued service delivery of the SEN placement programme and in particular the potential of further ongoing response maintenance works as may be required before the contract expiry.
Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this increase in value of the Contract, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. In addition the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is GBP 4 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This contingency includes sums to permit work in other Lots (as per the contract and Regulation 72 (1)(a)).
In order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) further permits this as a change of provider:
	(i)         cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of             			interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original             		procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and       		facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and
	(ii)        will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs.
EANI envisages new contract award by no later than 31/08/25.

Details on why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union is lawful:
Under Regulation 44, Utilities are required to make a 'prior call for competition' in restricted procedures (Regulation 44(3)) and this can be made by way of periodic indicative notice, notice on the existence of a qualification system (e.g. the RISQS notice on c2c's website) or a contract notice.
Therefore, where a party uses a compliant notice on the existence of a qualification system, there is no need to also issue a contract notice.

The Authority is engaging with potential Suppliers to seek views and feedback to the information provided and questionnaire.  This is intended to be used to assist the Authority on deciding the next steps for the procurement of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites
The Authority website serves as a vital digital gateway, providing residents and the public with access to all local authority services and information.
Currently, the website is managed using a CMS developed by the Authorities Software Development Team.
MyAccount, forms, and CRM are additional in-house developments that form an integral part of the Authorities digital customer services platform.  This integration was aimed to benefit customers and reduce service delivery costs.  However, some parts of the digital customer service platform were coded many years ago using older technologies that have since evolved.  These integrations impact on the local authority’s ability to develop the public website, respond to service changes, meet customer requirements and accessibility requirements.
Need -
1.	Complex requirements: Local authorities have complex and diverse needs, including managing large volumes of data, ensuring accessibility, and integrating with various other systems.
2.	Security concerns: Local authorities handle sensitive information, including personal data of residents.  The local authority requires a CMS with advanced security features to protect this data.  A supplier must make rectifying vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks a priority.
3.	Scalability: The local authority needs a CMS that can scale accordingly.  The local authority needs a CMS built with scalability in mind.
4.	Compliance and regulations:  Local authorities must adhere to strict regulations and standards, such as GDPR for data protection, WCAG 2.2 for accessibility and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) for Cyber Security.  The Authority needs a CMS with a system architecture that provides for our business need whilst delivering compliance against a complex range of regulatory requirements.
5.	Microsites:  The Authority needs a CMS that enables the Authority to create microsites.  The creation must be a simple and fast using a template with the ability to tailor the site's appearance and functionality.
6.	User experience: Local authorities serve a wide range of users, including residents, businesses, and the public.  The Authority needs a CMS to provide the optimal user experience needed to meet the diverse needs of users, ensuring customer satisfaction and efficiency of processes.
7.	Long-term viability: Local authorities require a CMS that can support our operations for the long term.  The CMS provider should have a track record of public sector provision and have good engagement with their customer base on future enhancements and improvements for both maintenance of compliance and regulations but also to ensure that future developments and trends in web presence can be accommodated.
8.	Financial viability: Consideration will be made of the total cost of ownership, including licensing fees, hosting, maintenance, and any additional costs for plugins or extensions.
Provision of a CMS that effectively supports the Authority’s website functionality, security, and growth.  The CMS will have a user-friendly interface that the team can easily manage and navigate.
We are looking for a CMS that allows for customisation to match our brand and business processes.  This includes themes, templates, and the ability to add custom features where needed.
The ideal CMS will offer have a strong support system, comprehensive documentation, customer support, and an active user community.
It is important to note that this is not an invitation to tender, it is strictly a pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire, intended to capture market information via a Prior Information Notice (PIN).
There are a number of questions within the Market Engagement Questionnaire for you to answer but it is not compulsory to answer all of them. We are happy to receive any feedback you wish to offer.
Responses to the Market Engagement Questionnaire imply no commitment on Suppliers to engage in any subsequent procurement process, nor do they confer any advantaged status or guarantee of inclusion in any subsequent procurement process for Suppliers who do respond.
The Authority reserves the right to withdraw this Market Engagement Questionnaire at any time and is not liable for any costs incurred as a result of Suppliers engaging with this process.
Potential Suppliers are asked to answer the questions set out in the questionnaire (pp9-11 of "Pre-Procurement market engagement questionnaire for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites"). This can be found on the Council's eTendering Portal Pro Contact. The link to the eTendering portal is https://procontract.due-north.com/ and the reference number is DN764372. Please log in (or register if you do not have a log in) and the questionnaire will be available to download.
Please upload your completed questionnaire to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Additional information: Completed questionnaires must be uploaded to the portal by 12 March 2025, 14.00Hrs. Please leave sufficient time to do this, as uploading times can vary depending on the file size.
Documents must be uploaded in an Open Document format, and all attachments will ideally be Zipped in to one file. (Tip: Use PDF documents where possible to reduce file sizes).
Please note: Organisations can upload / amend their response via the ProContract e-Tendering Portal at any time prior to the submission deadline. The response is secure and only visible to the organisation up until the closing deadline date / time at which point the system is locked to the organisation and contents become visible to the Council.
PLEASE REMEMBER: This is not an Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise. The Authority is intending to initiate a procurement process for the provision of a Content Management System (CMS) for Websites in the future, but this pre-procurement Market Engagement Questionnaire is a call for information only.
The Authority will consider the responses received and then consider its options.
Please note that the date set out in II.3 is not certain and could be changed.
Please note that the 'Type of Contract' as set out in II.1.3 says 'Services' but in fact it could be any combination/hybrid of goods/systems and/or services.

A briefing note for suppliers: Changes to procurement in Defra

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to Corporate Solutions - Professional Services. The intention is to share some updates regarding the application of the new Procurement Act in this area. Other such notices may be published by other category teams within Defra, and if your business operates across multiple categories, you should review all relevant notices for updates.

The Procurement Act 2023 is new legislation that will change the way the public sector buys goods and services. It aims to:
•	create a simpler and more flexible commercial system
•	open up public procurement to new entrants
•	take tougher action on underperforming suppliers
•	embed transparency throughout the commercial lifecycle

The changes are expected to start on 24 February 2025.

The existing legislation will apply until 24 February 2025. After 24 February 2025, it will only apply to procurements and contracts that started before this date, i.e. if the Invitation to Tender (ITT) was published, a voluntary transparency notice was published, or a pricing request was issued.

The new features for suppliers include:
•	a central digital platform
•	a simplified bidding process
•	more flexible commercial frameworks
•	a new duty on contracting authorities to consider barriers facing SMEs and VCSEs
•	a stronger exclusions framework

What will stay the same

If you are an existing or potential supplier to Defra and have live contracts, are a member of an existing framework, or are planning to bid for a procurement that has or will start prior to the new regime commencing, that arrangement will continue to be subject to the existing Public Contracting Regulations until the contract ends. The same principle applies to any contracts that are subject to any other associated procurement regulations, such as The Utilities Contracts Regulations.

What you need to do

This is a voluntary transparency notice that acknowledges the Government Property Agency's (GPA's) intention to contract directly with Security Services Group (SSG) for the delivery of maintenance services for a period of 10 months at a proposed value of £440,000.
The GPA intends to award the contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) for the reasons provided below. The GPA therefore considers the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice to be permitted by Part 2 of the PCR.
Competition Absent for Technical Reasons - A number of the security assets under this contract are closed protocol assets that can only be maintained by the Incumbent supplier. The intention would be to replace these assets in the short-medium term to open up competition.

description: The GPA currently procures maintenance (planned and reactive) services to technical security assets in secure spaces (Intruder alarms, CCTV, access control doors etc.) through a contract with Security Services Group (SSG) which expires on 31 March 2025. The GPA now intends to award a short-term contract to SSG to allow for the provision of this business critical service across London sites due to a proportion of the contract relating to closed protocol assets, which can only be maintained by the incumbent supplier. This will allow the GPA to procure a long-term replacement contract via CCS framework RM6257 (Security - Physical, Technical and Support Services) for the London & South region.
