Nottinghamshire County Council (the ‘Authority’) is seeking to add further experienced Providers of care home services (not individual care homes unless the Provider operates a single care home only) to their Framework Agreement. The Framework Agreement will be used to establish ‘Call-off Contracts’ with Providers who offer placements to older individuals, usually aged 65 and over, in CQC registered establishments located in Nottinghamshire (including Nottingham City).
A Framework Agreement is an agreement between the Authority and one or more Providers, the purpose of which is to establish the terms governing Call-off Contracts to be awarded under the Framework Agreement during a given period.
The Framework Agreement will be available for use by the following ‘Customers’:
• Nottinghamshire County Council
• NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Partnership (formerly NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG and NHS Bassetlaw CCG)
Call-off Contracts with Providers under this Framework Agreement may be formed by the Customers for new placements as well as existing placements in care homes in Nottinghamshire with the aim of bringing all care home arrangements under the Framework Agreement terms and conditions.
Call-off Contracts for ‘Out of County’ placements to care homes operated by Providers who are a party to the Framework Agreement may also be made under the terms of the Framework Agreement. Please note that if an Out of County placement is made to a Provider that isn’t a party to the Framework Agreement that Provider must bid to join this Framework Agreement at the earliest opportunity.
Bidders must have experience of delivering relevant care home services and currently be providing care home services in Nottinghamshire or have appropriate services already in development. It is not the Authority’s intention to encourage the building and development of additional care home accommodation through this project.

This process is a competitive procurement conducted in accordance with the Light Touch regime of Regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the subject matter is residential care placements and the extended duration of the Framework Agreement is justified due to the need to ensure continuity in care service provision and minimise disruption to the end user.

There are many things the tendering agencies need to consider when developing their
proposal:
• The online community has been used to carry out multiple types of research projects, both
qualitative and quantitative in nature. Typical methodologies include questionnaire-based
surveys, focus groups, polls, photo competitions, in-depth interviews, vox pops, virtual
discussion forums, and ethnographic studies. Our new platform needs to be able to deliver a
Page 5 to 8
similarly varied range of methodologies to provide the most appropriate solution for our
projects.
• Tendering companies will need to:
o Work alongside the YW Insights team to design the research projects and ensure the needs
of the business are met.
o Conduct recruitment for the online community on a regular basis to ensure there's a
consistent sample of customers which aims to be as representative of our customer base as
possible.
o Moderate the online community to ensure any queries or complaints by members are
addressed and shared to YW in a timely manner.
o Provide output in the form specified by the Insights team. Reports need to be engaging and
must provide feedback in the form of insight-led recommendations.
In addition to regular tasks, the community also does the following engagement work:
• Engages with customers through the 'Lounge', which is a discussion room where customers
can post questions and start conversations with each other.
• Occasional 'engagement' tasks where customers can share pictures or details about
themselves and receive rewards.
• We also have monthly newsletters outlining all the work that was done on the community
that month
• 'Close the Loop' posts every 6 months where we provide updates on the projects that were
conducted and the impact they had. We also take that chance to reward the most active
members as a way of thanking them for their support.
Requirements
Objectives for the community include:
• To build and maintain an online community platform branded to Yorkshire Water (YW).
• To design and conduct high-quality research projects in conjunction with YW and provide
robust insight for the business.
• To provide customer insight to support our business planning processes in addition to
regular and ad hoc research requests from the business.
Page 6 to 8
• To provide an engaging and fun place for customers to engage with YW and allow them to
share their opinions about decisions that will affect them.
• To deliver reports in an engaging format to allow internal stakeholders to improve
understanding of our customers and make decisions based on customer insight. Data tables
and transcripts should also be provided where applicable.
• To ensure vulnerable and hard to reach customers are included in the community including
markers for customers on our Priority Services Register and financial support services (e.g.
WaterSupport).
• Continue to engage with customers in a wide variety of ways to ensure engagement and
satisfaction with the community remains high and allows for a high response rate to our
projects.
• Provide innovative solutions to address sampling issues to ensure sufficient representation
of all groups. Note: young people have always been underrepresented on the online
community. Proposals should therefore consider ways to improve representation of this
group or provide alternative methods of engaging with this group on a consistent basis (e.g.
external boosts for specific projects where representation is important).
• Ability to deliver to different timelines for surveys, discussion rooms, focus groups, polls,
video diaries, and other task types - some of our work is very fast turnaround, the agency

Yorkshire Water (YW) provide water and sewerage services to over 5 million people and
140,000 businesses in Yorkshire. We collect and treat over 1 billion litres of water every day.
We operate over 670 water and treatment works and manage 100,000 kilometres of pipes.
Every 5 years, YW, alongside other water companies, submit a business plan to the industry
regulator Ofwat, outlining the investment we plan to make in the next 5 years and the impact
this will have on customer's bills. In the sector, this planning process is called a price review,
we are currently amidst of price review 2024 or PR24. The most recent business plan was
submitted on October 2nd, 2023.
The water industry faces increased scrutiny at the moment from customers and regulators
due to negative press media regarding storm overflows. This means that expectations
regarding business plans are higher than ever, and due to the cost-of-living crisis, bill
increases are a huge concern to many people.
Therefore, the PR24 business plan required considerable customer research to be
undertaken to ensure that our business plan was formed with customer needs at its heart.
Several of these customer research projects were carried out on our online community 'Your
Water'. Originally launched in 2017 to support the previous business planning process, our
online community has since grown to become an integral part of our customer insight
programme.
The online community has a sample of approximately 3,800 customers. Our members take
part in a wide range of projects on a regular basis that are then used to inform key business
decisions. For one PR24 project, we tested the acceptability and affordability of our
Page 4 to 8
business plan with customers. This allowed us to determine how supportive customers were
of our business plan, and how they felt about the projected bill impact. In addition to the
PR24 projects, we have also carried out projects to inform the development of our
communication campaigns and helped YW make important industry and policy decisions.
The online community was also an indispensable source of customer insight during the covid
pandemic, allowing us to continue engaging with customers during lockdowns, and
understand the impact that the lockdowns were having on them.
The time has come to retender our online community. Going forward, we would like to
develop the online community further, we would like to increase its potential, make it even
more engaging for our customers and continue to ensure it will meet the needs of the
business.

Interpreting Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Scanning Data to Assess Above and Below Ground Carbon (AGC/BGC) for Hedgerows and Trees and Run-off Risk Mapping on Farms in GB.
AHDB is undertaking environmental baselining work on a group of farms expected to be in the range 120 - 200 farms across GB where it aims to establish a net carbon balance, taking account of GHG emissions and carbon stocks and sequestration, and capture a range of metrics of relevance to evaluating natural capital and monitoring the environmental impact of behaviour change. For this tender, AHDB are seeking a partner to assess above and below ground biomass (AGB/BGB) associated with woody biomass on the farms in this project and from that estimate the associated above and below ground carbon stocks. Most farms will be mixed farms with two or more enterprise types. Uncropped land such as woodland will also be included. AHDB intends to procure LIDAR scanning services to inform this assessment of 120-200 farms. It is expected that the successful tenderer will use these LIDAR datasets, accompanying aerial imagery and published allometric models for hedgerows, trees and woodland to derive above ground carbon stocks on farm along with other outputs of relevance to farmers and the baselining work.
The Procurement Documents have been made directly available by AHDB by electronic means at https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Additional information: The stated value of the contract is based on the evaluation parameters as described in the Tender.  However, dependent of land coverage and associated reporting, actual cost range may vary, but not exceed £200k

Bidders that are successful in demonstrating that they are able to meet the Council’ standards, as set out in the service specification, will be added to the Approved INMSS Provider List and will be subsequently invited to offer places that match the needs of the children and young people.
The term of the framework agreement will be for a period of 5 years and will commence from 01 January 2025 to the 31 December 2029. There is potential to extend this Framework Agreement for up to a further 6 years in increments of 24 months.

Nottinghamshire County Council (the Council) is seeking to add further Independent non-maintained Special Schools (INMSS) to a new Framework Agreement under which the Council are looking to commission INMSS and Post-16 (where the provision is delivered in house by the school) provision of specialist school placements for pupils who are not attending mainstream or maintained special schools and who have an Education Health Care (EHC) Plan. This will replace the current Independent / non-maintained special schools Approved Provider List for Nottinghamshire (NAPL).
All Providers currently delivering or intending to deliver services detailed within the updated Specification (Part 4 – Specification) must apply to be on the new Framework Agreement as the current provider list (NAPL) will come to an end on the 31st of December 2024.
This initial phase of the framework will have two lots under which the Council can make specialist school placements (See paragraph 5 below for further details). In Lot 1 commissioners will put in place block contracts with providers and Lot 2 will see the establishment of an approved INMSS provider list
This process is the reopening of the framework for new providers to bid to join the new INMSS framework and is the second tender round.  Under the first tender round DN694393, no contracts were awarded under Lot 1, however a number of providers were successful in being accepted onto the INMSS Approved Provider List. Providers who have already been successful in round 1 for Lot 2 (INMSS Approved Provider List) of the Framework Agreement DO NOT need to bid for Lot 2 in this round 2.  However, these Providers may wish to consider applying for a block contract and therefore will need to apply to Lot 1 in this tender round.
Any providers who were unsuccessful in the previous tender round (1) for either Lot 1 or Lot 2 can reapply in this tender round (2)
The establishment of a framework agreement for INMSS is the first phase of the recommissioning of the Specialist Education provision for the Council as set out in the Vision document (Part 3 – Vision document). Ultimately the framework will be extended to include Alternative Education Provision and Post-16 institutions (e.g., further education colleges that are not part of the INMSS), that will be the second/third phases of the recommissioning project and new procurement processes will be run at later dates which are yet to be decided

title: Healthwatch Sheffield

description: Every English local authority has a duty to make provisions for the delivery of Healthwatch statutory activity in their local area. This means establishing a contractual arrangement with an independent organisation that should be a social enterprise that delivers Healthwatch activity.   Healthwatch are set apart from the statutory structures, voluntary and community sector they work within, as they perform public functions, deliver statutory duties and receive public funding. This is recognised in law, for instance, as Healthwatch have specific requirements under the Freedom of Information Act as well as Healthwatch legislation.   Their core purpose of making sure the views of the public shape the health and care services they need, requires them to be:   • Independent in purpose - amplifying the voice and experiences of the most pressing and difficult issues in health and social care.   • Independent in voice - speaking up on behalf of sometimes unpopular causes or groups who are marginalised and/or face disadvantage or discrimination.  • Independent in action - designing and delivering activities that best meet the needs of the people they serve.   If Healthwatch are to hold others to account, they themselves must operate with integrity, accountability and transparency to have credibility with the communities they serve.  Sheffield City Council (SCC) is responsible for commissioning the functions of Healthwatch in Sheffield and ensuring their delivery. SCC is seeking to commission a Healthwatch service for a 7 year period with an option to extend for an additional 2 +1 period.   This specification is not prescriptive in terms of service delivery. The Provider is expected to design Healthwatch Sheffield in a way they feel best delivers the rest of the requirements, within an overall framework. However the requirements set out in the following sections need to be met.

description: 7 extension options of 1 year

description: The full scope of the requirement is as set out in the procurement documents

title: Cloud based large file collaboration, management and storage solution with user interface

periodRationale: Technical complexities and cost of change associated with replacing such a system

description:
Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc. ("SHET"), seeks a market leading supplier of cloud based file storage and collaboration solutions. The solution provided should be able to handle proprietary specialist file types such as Geospatial Information System (GIS), engineering design (e.g. AutoCAD), Building Information Management (BIM) and 3d laser scans, in the near term up to 50GBb individual file size and collections >30TBb, performantly and without any loss/degradation, sync error or corruption.
The solution needs to provide a user interface that separates the users from directly accessing the back end storage. This user interface needs to be intuitive and provide a positive user experience.
The solution will provide options to share files with internal and external collaborators which may be via login, link share or other methodologies. The solution will provide out of the box interoperability which will enable files to be surfaced (via connector/bridge/API or other methods) via cloud based SAAS applications such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, IBM Maximo, and ESRI ArcGIS, plus SharePoint and Microsoft O365. It is preferable that any connector/option has been proven in industry with similar clients.
The vendor must provide a means of migrating data from legacy sources into the cloud storage.
The solution should be hosted in the UK only and highly cyber-secure and resilient, and support all access control requirements. The solution should have a strong business-continuity-and-disaster-recovery offering.
The provider should provide timely high quality project delivery services and excellent post implementation customer support options.
Note that the SHET has confirmed through proofs of concept that generic file storage (as may be appropriate for office documents) may not be suitable for all such file types and so prospective tenderers are encouraged to carefully validate if their solution can handle such files.
