The importance of recognising the family as the critical infrastructure for the wellbeing and development of children in society is at the heart of the Families 1st strategy. A happy life for children involves a loving family within a broader system of friendships, community networks and universal services. Families will get the right help, at the right time, by the right people. Families 1st is set within the national policy landscape of UN Convention on Rights of a Child (UNCRC), The Promise, underpinned by strong Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) roots in Highland. Support from out with the family network should be available when needed for as long as it is needed.
Section 23 of The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 introduced a legal framework for assessment, services and support to children with disabilities, children affected by disability and their families.  The Act states that “Services for these children should be designed to minimise the adverse effects of disability and to enable them to lead lives which are as normal as possible. Specific provisions relating to children with or affected by disability do not stand alone”.
The service being tendered is Short Break Care within the family home to include Waking Night Support, Sleeping Night and Day Support. Support to and from activities within the community. Help to support/maintain and/or establish/implement routine. Meet any additional specific requirements of the Child’s Individual Action Plan as per their Child’s Plan.

In the next phase of WCPP’s work on Connected Communities and as part of the Resourceful Communities Partnership (RCP), we are commissioning the development of a tool, or resource, that enables users to build, improve, or sustain multisectoral collaborations. We are seeking to commission a partner to lead the prototyping, testing and refinement, and delivery of the tool/resource, building on the research and stakeholder engagement underpinning this tender. We are open to joint applications from existing collaborations/partnerships, consortium bids, and/or bids with the potential to evolve into a strategic partnership from public, third, and/or private sector organisations.
The broad goal of this project is to develop a tool/resource that supports public and community sector actors to reflect on their collaborations and take evidence-informed-actions that strengthen their multisector collaborations aimed at improving community wellbeing.
As part of the RCP, WCPP seeks to steward this process and broker relationships but is looking to commission a partner with a fresh perspective, relevant skills, and who can maximise project impact and longevity (in terms of relevance and uptake of what is delivered). Recent engagements helped us develop key principles for how we would like to work together with our partner:
•	Take a co-productive approach that mobilises practice-based expertise and fosters collective ownership of the final output.
•	Take a flexible approach to enable a wide-range of Welsh public service stakeholders to input at various points throughout the development process given the networked nature of the RCP and range of interests in this tool/resource.
•	Avoid duplication and keep stakeholders informed and engaged by ‘working out loud’.
The need for this commission is underpinned by our previous research with the RCP on the role multisector collaboration plays in improving community wellbeing. The research highlights the critical ‘ingredients’ for initiating and sustaining multisector collaboration as well as actions that can foster those ingredients. A key output from that research was a Framework for Action which, while useful, stops short of supporting potential users to assess which actions are most suitable for their collaboration and context as well as providing practical tools and sources of guidance which could support them to take action. Through deeper engagement, we learnt that what’s needed to address this isn’t to make this research more engaging and accessible, rather, to develop a tool/resource that bridges the gap between evidence and action.

features:
The Tender stages will be run as follows:
Stage 1:
All interested suppliers can apply to be considered for participation in this procurement exercise, through application via https://www.delta-esourcing.com/ Tenderbox Reference: TA9SBV97CP.
Through a set of criteria defined in the PSQ documentation, a maximum of five (5) suppliers  for each lot will be invited to respond to the ITN stage. All other suppliers (and non-compliant parties) will be notified as unsuccessful from the process at this stage.
The PSQ will be evaluated in three (3) parts:
Part 1: Mandatory information to be provided by the suppliers, failure to do so and in an accurate manner may lead to exclusion from the procurement process.
Part 2: Questions relating to conditions of participation, including standard & technical questions
Part 3: Software Capability Assessment Tool
All suppliers that have have passed the submission of mandatory information will then be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria provided within the ITP documentation. PSQ Parts 2 & 3 will both have a total score of 100% available, the top five (5) scoring suppliers for each lot who achieve the minimum threshold for Parts 2 & 3 outlined in the ITP documentation will be shortlisted to participate in the ITN stage.
All other submissions will be declined. NTL reserves the right to not score any question response that had not been provided in line with the instructions provided in the ITP.
Each lot will have an overall total score of 100%. The total score (100%) will be divided by the criteria outlined within the Tender Documentation. Responses will be issued to evaluators to evaluate against the scoring criteria on an individual basis, recording their own justification for that score. NTL's procurement team will then hold a group moderation session with evaluators in respect of each scored question, considering the individual evaluator scores and justifications.  In those moderation sessions the evaluators will discuss the reasoning for their scoring of each scored question and agree a consensus score and associated rationale for that question.  NTL's procurement team shall facilitate these moderation sessions until a consensus score and rationale is reached by the relevant evaluators for each scored question.
The anticipated weightings for the ITN stage of the Tender process will be 60% - Quality, 30% - Commercial and 10% - Social Value, this will be confirmed within the tender documentation.
Following evaluation of the ITN, a minimum of the top 2 (two) highest scoring bidders for each lot will be invited to submit Best and Final Offers(BAFOs). NTL strongly encourages all bidders to submit competitive Tender submissions. Whilst NTL may request Best and Final Offers (BAFOs), bidders should not rely on any potential subsequent opportunities for providing improved commercial offers.

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), is committed to delivering high-quality, inclusive, and sustainable transport infrastructure that aligns with the region’s strategic objectives. Recognising the critical role of design in shaping user experience, safety, and long-term value, TfWM is establishing a Design Excellence Panel as a key mechanism to embed design thinking from the outset of project development.

The Design Excellence Panel will operate initially under a three-year programme, with periodic reviews to ensure its continued relevance and impact. Workshops will be held bi-monthly, with flexibility to increase frequency based on project demand. Site visits will be arranged as required to support a ‘no site boundary’ approach—encouraging consideration of wider spatial and social context.

•	Architecture
•	Landscape Architecture
•	Inclusive Design
•	Heritage and Conservation
•	Urban Planning
•	Civil and Structural Engineering
•	Public Health
•	Sustainability
•	Access Consultancy
•	Place Curation
•	The Arts

The Panel will:
•	Provide design assurance aligned with TfWM’s strategic goals
•	Champion inclusive, safe and sustainable design
•	Support the development of Design Guides
•	Promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge-sharing
•	Contribute to post-occupancy evaluations and continuous improvement
The Panel will not:

By encouraging join up between health systems and employment support, Connect to Work will support those, primarily, currently outside the workforce and facing greater labour market disadvantages, to stay in work and get back into work. In turn, supporting the Government's ambition for a more inclusive economy, supporting local people to realise their potential and supporting local and national growth.

features:
The Most Advantageous Tender ("MAT") will be identified by a two stage process:
Stage 1 - Tender Stage:
Step 1 - Completeness and Compliance Checks:
Submitted Tenders will initially be checked for compliance with the instructions provided, including confirmation that the documents have been completed fully and correctly and have been signed as requested.  Failure to correctly complete and sign all the relevant documentation may result in your Tender being treated as non-compliant and the Tender may be eliminated from the process at this stage and not considered further.
Where a Tender Submission is received from a Tenderer who is not registered on the Central Digital Platform and/or who has not submitted up-to-date core supplier information on the Central Digital Platform, their submission will be rejected from the tender process and no further evaluation will be undertaken.
Step 2 - Excluded and Excludable Suppliers:
The Council will confirm that neither the Supplier or any connected persons, associated persons or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office Debarment List. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the Debarment List, the Council will consider whether to exclude the Supplier from participating in the procurement process.
In addition, the Council will consider whether any Supplier or connected persons, associated persons relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors are excluded or excludable Supplier, providing the Supplier reasonable opportunity to make representations and provide evidence as is proportionate to the circumstances. If the Supplier is an excluded or excludable Supplier only by virtue of an associated or proposed sub-contractor, the Council will notify the Supplier of its intention to exclude the Supplier and provide the Supplier with reasonable opportunity to replace the associated person or sub-contractor.
Where a Supplier is an excluded Supplier on either of the above grounds, no further evaluation of the tender submission will be undertaken.
Step 3 - Assessment of Conditions of Participation:
The suitability of Suppliers will be assessed in accordance with the specified Conditions of Participation contained within the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. This will be marked purely on a pass or fail basis to ensure that the Supplier is able to meet the Council's minimum requirements. Tenderers who do not indicate that they meet the Council's minimum Conditions of Participation may be excluded from the process at this stage.
Step 4 - 	Quality, Price Assessment:
All submitted Tenders which have not been rejected during the previous steps will be assessed to identify the Most Advantageous Tender. The Council will determine the Most Advantageous Tender by applying the Award Criteria which is more fully described in the Tender Documents. The basis of the Council's Award Criteria will be based on 40% Quality and 60% Price.
Step 5 - Identification of Preferred Supplier:
The final scores will be added together to produce a total score for each Tenderer which will determine ranking, and the Preferred Supplier will be identified. The Preferred Supplier will be the Supplier whose submission scored the highest at Stage 1 Step 4.
Step 6 - Notify Unsuccessful Suppliers:
Suppliers who were not selected as the Preferred Supplier will not continue in the procurement process. The Council may choose to notify Suppliers that they have been unsuccessful at this, or any, stage of the procurement process and provide them with an Assessment Summary (but does not bind itself to do so).
Stage 2 - Preferred Supplier Stage:
Step 1 - Preferred Supplier Due Diligence (1):
As part of the due diligence process, the supplier information provided on the Central Digital Platform and/ or responses to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire of the Preferred Supplier will be verified, and any required certification and evidence will be requested.
Where certain levels of insurance are required and Suppliers do not currently hold these, they will be required to provide evidence (for example, a quotation from an insurance provider) that they will be able to obtain the insurance, if awarded the contract.
The Council reserves the right to use other sources of information alongside those provided as part of the Tender to determine the financial stability of the top scoring Tenderer, namely a financial assessment or credit check. If this suggests that there may be an issue with the Tenderer's financial standing, the Council will always follow this up with the top scoring Tenderer before coming to a final decision. Based on any additional information provided, the Council will then determine the financial strength of the organisation and may, where appropriate, require parent company guarantees and/or a financial bond to be provided at no additional cost to the Council.
Submission of evidence will be required within 5 working days of the initial request. Any Supplier failing to provide the information requested within the timeframe, or information that does not satisfactorily evidence responses made, will be excluded from the process at this stage. Should this situation arise, the Council reserves the right to remove the quality and price scores achieved by the disqualified Tenderer from the evaluation process and commence verification proceedings with the Tenderer now ranked in first place.
Step 2 - Preferred Supplier Due Diligence (2):
The assessment panel reserve the right to undertake further due diligence with the Preferred Supplier in order to verify that their submission is compliant with the Specification. This could be undertaken in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:
(i)	Telephone
(ii)	Email
(iii)	Meetings at Council premises/ via Microsoft Teams
(iv)	Visits to reference sites/ obtaining references from current customers
(v)	Meetings on site at Tenderer's premises
(vi)	Product demonstrations/ proof of concept.

Pipeline Notice for Flintshire County Council's Corporate Finance Core and Sub-Systems.
This notice is being published as it the overall contract value, including extensions up to 19 years, is potentially going to exceed the threshold for this notice to be published. At this stage, Flintshire County Council have undertaken some pre-market engagement and are drafting the procurement documentation.

1.	Project Overview
Flintshire County Council (FCC) are seeking to replace their current Core Financial System, which provides the General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions to all FCC Portfolios, FCC Corporate Functions and FCC Subsidiaries. This Core Finance System also takes feeds (feeders) from external suppliers and interacts a variety of systems within the wider FCC system stack.
This current software has been in service for circa 40 years and runs on servers located on-premise.
Over time, with the growing needs of the Authority, FCC have added “bolt-on” software packages. We are also seeking to potentially replace these ”bolt on” software packages with a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with modules which provide Corporate Finance functions.
The schematic of the additional software packages can be provided to those suppliers who express a genuine interest in this project.
A description of each of these systems is as follows:
- Core System - Provides the core Corporate Finance Functions; General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.
- Sub System 1 - A budget monitoring and forecasting tool, currently used to produce the monthly budget monitoring report. These reports inform the individual departments, Portfolios, Corporate Executives and Cabinet Members of the current budget position.
- Sub system 2 - Provides system reporting using data from the purchase to pay system and core finance system.
- Sub system 3 - Provides an end-to-end solution for procurement to payment of goods and services by FCC; Portfolio, Schools and Local Authority Trading Companies (LATCs). Through additional software, we scan and match invoices to purchase orders and place orders using punchout.
- Sub system 4 - Cash and Payment Management – All cashflows into FCC pass through this system. These cashflows range from Central and Welsh Government Grants, through major revenues such as (Revenues and Benefits) to individual  Cash or PCI compliant Card Payments.
2.	Our Vision
To modernise our current financial systems by embracing cloud-based solutions and to have greater integration to ensure all system users have access to real-time information across all systems wherever they are working. Ultimately improving our processes, removing duplication of duties and pushing through efficiencies.  A summary of our vision by way of schematic can be provided to suppliers who express a genuine interest in this project.
Our solution vision will provide the best levels of affordable functionality available when replacing the current core and sub financial systems. It is envisaged the solution will be provided by modules which can be introduced into a cloud ERP system.
This modular solution approach will afford FCC the ability to bring other council systems into this environment in the future should we wish, as we believe this could also result in further future benefits for FCC.
A description of each of these other FCC systems is as follows:
- Social Care Financial Assessment Management
- Transport and Vehicle Management Software
- Council Tax and NNDR Refunds Software
- HR and Payroll Software
- Pension Fund Management Software
- Accelerated payment System
- Telecare Software (internal software)
- Asset Management Software
*This list is not exclusive
3.	Market Exploration
FCC are exploring the market in order to research potential solutions which may be available for the replacement of these core and sub systems. We may invite suppliers to provide a solution overview and demonstration either on-line or in person at St. Davids Park, Ewloe, North Wales.
Specifically, in order to refine and finalise our requirements for an Open Tender, we are looking to explore and understand the functionality that is available in the market. You may be invited to attend overviews / demonstrations to help us with our understanding and we would seek specific focus on :
3.1	The level to which suppliers can absorb (replace) FCC Finance sub systems into their ERP offering.
3.2	The functionality available in a suppliers ERP offering specifically in relation to our legacy Core & Sub-systems. Demonstration of this functionality should form a large part of any supplier overviews as these will be attended in the majority by FCC Corporate Accountants together with some IT representatives.
3.3	How suppliers would propose to integrate with the other non-accounting based systems currently in place in FCC. For example, through the use of Standard APIs which would mean reconfiguration of these existing systems, or a suppliers ability to communicate with these systems with no initial changes to them, but with a path for a future standard API interactions.
3.4	How suppliers can provide Single Sign On (SSO) to their ERP environment, backed by the security provided by Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
3.5	Where suppliers store data (geographical location) and how they ensure UK and Local Government Data Protection  legislation is obeyed.
3.6	The level to which suppliers can absorb (replace) other systems in FCC's Vision into their ERP offering. The list is not exclusive and these systems are not in scope of this current project.
3.7	How suppliers can offer a pay as FCC deploy model. It is envisaged that implementation of a Finance focused ERP solution could take 12-24 month for all modules to be introduced into a suppliers ERP environment. With the implementation of some module not starting for some 12-15 months from contract signature FCC are keen to avoid paying for modules until the point of their implementation.
