We are looking to procure a technology that will support Interventional Radiologists:
To plan tumour targets and surrounding safety margins with computer assistance.
To place applicators, e.g. ablation and biopsy needles, precisely.
To adjust treatment and ablation parameters by computer assistance and verification of applicator position.
Validate treatment success by computer assisted fusion of pre- and postoperative CT images allowing for validation of the effective ablation volume relative to the originally planned volume and assisting in the decision to immediately re-treat if necessary.
The system must provide the following:
1. Access lesions not visible on USS.
2. Access lesions in difficult anatomical locations e.g. close to blood vessels or other critical tissues / organs.
3. Overlay previous imagery such as MRI, allowing lesions and ablation margins to be identified and visualized in CT.
4. Allow instrument trajectories to be planned in 2D and 3D.
5. Allow for placement of needles outside of plane.
6. Provide a patient positioning and fixation system to immobilize patient during intervention
7. Provide a guidance system to facilitate precise needle trajectories and final positioning using a semi-robotic arm.
8. Support treatment planning by visualising desired ablation volumes and shapes.
9. Allow additional scanning during placement of instruments to ensure accurate placement ahead of ablation or biopsy.
10. Allow the fusion of pre- and postoperative images to allow for fast and efficient validation of the effective ablation volume relative to the plan i.e. allow the clinician to confirm that the disease has been entirely treated or allow re-positioning and re-treatment during the current procedure.
11. Allow needle repositioning if areas that require further ablation are identified.
12. Reduce the procedure time due to increased accuracy of needle placement.
13. Reduce incomplete ablation rates leading to reduced tumour reoccurrence.

Where there are concerns about a registrant’s physical or mental health, we may require the registrant to undergo a health assessment. This may form one part of a wider investigation into a registrant's fitness to practise. At the end of an investigation, a registrant may enter into a period of medical supervision to monitor their health condition and compliance with any restrictions on their registration. Toxicology testing is required as part of the GMC’s Fitness to Practise proceedings in order to establish:
a) if and what substances have been/are being used by the registrant (this is of particular help in health assessments)
b) if the registrant has complied with undertakings or conditions (which is of particular help for the purposes of medical supervision).
This is mostly done using blood, in particular PEth testing, and hair testing at present, although nail, saliva, urine and breath tests can be carried out at the GMC’s discretion.

title: Water Catchment Management: Key Deliver Partners

description: The framework will be for a five year period from May 2025 (estimated) to 31 March 2030 with the possibility to extend for a further three years.

description:
South West Water Limited is seeking (as a centralised purchasing body on behalf of itself and other subsidiaries within the Pennon Group from time to time) to enter into a framework with multiple suppliers for the supply and management of water catchment services to both regulated utilities and other subsidiary entities within the Pennon Group for a five year period from May 2025 to 31 March 2030 with the possibility to extend the framework contract for a further three years.
Bidders should please note that it is anticipated that the management of the framework will be conducted for the Group by South West Water Limited, and this will also be expressly acknowledged and authorised by the Pennon Group contracting entities when entering into call-off contracts under the framework, including authorisation for South West Water Limited to make orders on behalf of the relevant contracting entity. It is then intended that the services will be implemented through call-offs with specific Pennon Group contracting entities.
South West Water Limited is running this procurement using the Negotiated Procedure with prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016.
Upstream Thinking (UST) is Pennon Groups ambitious and innovative Natural Capital-based approach to investment in resilience. Since 2006 this evolving Catchment Management programme, has focused on protecting the rivers, reservoirs, and aquifers of the region from pollution and detrimental environmental landscape impacts, together with supporting flora and fauna. The inherent uncertainty of deriving drinking water for treatment from surface waters, and from the lower reaches of large and variable river systems, is the principal risk that UST seeks to address.
This work builds on the existing contracts / frameworks which were put in place for AMP7 for both Bristol Water and South West Water.  The new framework seeks to combine these into one comprehensive framework which will allow for the whole of the business to utilise for catchment management partnership delivery including Upstream Thinking and Green First.  It will also incorporate the new performance measures as outlined in WINEP requirements.  Specifically for Upstream Thinking this includes expanding the programme into new drinking water catchments, to deliver against both WINEP outcomes and the new OFWAT Biodiversity performance commitment. The upstream Thinking programme also delivers against other AMP8 business plan outcomes including planting 300,000 trees, re-naturalising our waterways for wildlife, control invasive non-native species, and our 1,000 ponds initiative.
The focus of the framework will be to engage local partnership delivery specialists who have developed significant knowledge of the catchments while creating widespread support and trust from land owners and managers.  The partnership element is a key part of this framework and the ability to bring match funding, co benefits and other in-kind contributions and support to the shared delivery outcomes will be a key factor.
For this delivery Farm advisers within the organisations act as honest brokers in the catchment and engage with farmers to provide advice, business planning, and grants for farm infrastructure and habitat restoration to bring about behaviour change and Natural Capital improvements. This increases the flow of Environmental Goods and Services (EGS) (e.g. clean raw water) from farms to deliver improved business performance in the following areas:
•	Pro-active management of Drinking Water Protected Areas (DrWPA) at risk and increased raw water usability due to reduced pollutant loads with sustained and elevated base-flows,
•	Drinking Water treatment works (DWTW) efficiency due to avoidance of shutdowns from pollution, taste, and odour failures, together with lower asset running costs,
•	Downstream environmental protection for wastewater treatment and networks, with improved functionality due to reduced catchment peak-flows with impacts on Combined Sewer Outlet (CSO) discharge frequency and volumes,
•	Long term business protection against future uncertainty (e.g. climate change and emerging catchment threats such as new chemicals which may enter the water environment), Statutory environmental protection and delivery of wider environmental responsibilities (e.g. the Environment Agency's Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP)).
Where applicable, these delivery partners will need to demonstrate past ability to use SWW funds to access and deliver 3rd party funding streams to support the SWW investments in these catchments (noting this approach was not previously undertaken in Bristol Water catchments). This could include Defra funds and other sources
This investment supports the stated customers' priorities of:
•	A clean, safe and reliable supply of drinking water,
•	Reliable wastewater service,
•	Resilience,
•	Protecting the Environment.

The development of a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) is essential for the final disposal of higher activity radioactive wastes in the UK. It is a critical part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA) overall mission to decommission and dispose of the UK’s nuclear legacy waste. The mission of the GDF programme is to deliver a permanent solution for the disposal of higher activity radioactive waste through the design, construction, operation and closure of a GDF. Its objectives are:
•	To build trust and work in partnership with one or more communities to gain consent and support to host a GDF.
•	To facilitate economic benefits and growth, delivering regional jobs and skills and a positive legacy.
•	To deliver a permanent solution for the safe disposal of higher activity waste through the safe, sustainable, and cost-effective design, construction, operation and closure of a GDF.
•	To enable the timely retirement of the significant and currently enduring financial liability and risk associated with above ground storage of higher activity waste, that would persist indefinitely if a disposal solution was not developed.
A GDF will be a significant piece of UK infrastructure where the majority of the facility is built between 200 and 1000 metres underground, putting the waste in purpose-built containers which are then placed in tunnels and vaults beneath several hundred metres of solid rock. Further information about the GDF programme can be found here: GDF (Geological Disposal Facility) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Aims and objectives of service:
To provide provision of primary care medical cover for all pathway 2 patients placed in care homes within the Western Locality of Devon.
Service description/care pathway:
This will include providing primary care medical cover for patients discharged from hospital to residential care settings on pathway 2 (bedded rehabilitation and reablement).  The service provider will be required to work with and in residential care homes (in the boundaries listed above).
For the service provider to be able to access core primary medical services, the below will apply:
If patients discharged on a Pathway 2 placement are placed in a care home outside of their registered GP area, they will be registered with a named GP practice as temporary residents until they are fit to be discharged from the Pathway 2 facility.
Acceptance, Exclusion criteria and thresholds
• Patients who are not identified as being on discharge to assess Pathway 2 placement
• Medical cover is not provided out of hours times (Mon - Fri 18:30 - 08:00 and weekends and bank holidays)
• As these patients are expected to be in the care home on a short-term temporary basis and if registered as a temporary resident they will not be subject to QOF or IIF requirements
Wrap around support
In developing this model, the service provider retains responsibility for the medical support, but it is acknowledged that it is essential that a model is developed to ensure they are supported. The additional wrap around support can vary location to location but could include:
• Support from consultant teams
• District nursing and other community services
• Rapid response services
• Community and acute speciality advisory services.
• Community equipment
• Volunteers
The service provider providing primary care medical cover will be expected to agree with the managers of the facility the method of interaction to enable a good working relationship with the home and the residents.
Out of Hours provision
Usual out of hours arrangements for primary care will apply.
Expected value of service
An indicative budget of £200 per patient has been set.  An expected annual cost has been forecast based on 187 discharges, however as this may vary a financial cap has been set at £54,000 per annum. Additional information: Any interested parties are asked to contact the email address provided by 26/02/2025 at the latest to confirm.
