No conflicts of interest were declared.
The selection criteria and weightings were determined based on key priorities to ensure high-quality, sustainable, and accessible care.
Quality & Innovation (25%) was assigned the highest priority, as maintaining high standards of palliative and end-of-life care is essential. Provider was assessed on their adherence to NICE guidelines, and Ambitions Framework, evidence-based clinical practices, and their ability to innovate through digital health solutions, personalised care models, and alternative therapies.
Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability (25%) was equally weighted, reflecting the importance of partnerships with NHS services and fostering collaboration across systems. Provider was evaluated on their multidisciplinary working, information-sharing, and ability to ensure long-term service sustainability in response to workforce and policy challenges.
Value (20%) was assessed to ensure services are financially viable and cost-effective, balancing high-quality care with efficient use of resources, ensuring the provider can sustain operations without compromising care.
Access, Reducing Health Inequalities & Facilitating Choice (20%) was prioritised to ensure equitable service provision for all patient groups, particularly those from underserved or deprived communities. Provider was assessed on their ability to deliver flexible, community-based care, culturally competent services, and patient-led end-of-life planning to support dignity and choice.
Finally, Social Value (10%) was included to recognise the broader economic, social, and environmental contributions of hospice provider. This encompassed volunteer engagement, sustainability initiatives, and support for local communities, ensuring hospices deliver wider benefits beyond direct patient care.
All scores have been completed and all Pass/Fail criteria have been successfully met.

Skills Bootcamps provide bespoke training to bridge existing skills gaps within high demand industry sectors, to support rapid training into higher-paid and sustainable job roles for sectors with evidenced vacancies
From April 2025, Cornwall Council will act as the accountable body for the delivery of Skills Bootcamps under a grant agreement funded by the Department for Education as part of the National Skills Fund.
This notice relates to the direct award of a four-month contract (April to July 2025) for the continued delivery of Skills Bootcamps by existing training providers who were previously contracted under a Devon County Council-led programme (in which Cornwall Council was a collaborator). These providers have since been re-contracted by Devon County Council and will now deliver under Cornwall Council's contract.

procurementMethodRationale: Direct awards justified pursuant to Schedule 5 paragraph 13 on the basis that the services to be supplied are necessary for reasons of unavoidable urgency as confirmation of the Skills Bootcamps grant award was only received by the Cornwall Council on 20th February 2025 which meant that the contracts to commence in April 2025 could not be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure.

description:
The Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) wishes to establish a new research and development (R&D) framework with six specific lots (A-F).
This framework will be structured into specialism based lots. Each lot is designed to hold more than one supplier to allow a varied skill set across each lot.
A specification will be written for each project and HSE will then consider the specification against each supplier to determine which supplier's expertise is best suited to the project. If more than one supplier has the relevant experience, a cab rank system will be used (further detail on this process is provided in section 4). Due to the nature of the type of R&D projects that will be brought forward, we are aware that not all suppliers in a lot may necessarily be able to undertake all the projects brought forward, so this approach ensures projects will be allocated to the most relevant supplier.
HSE reserve the right to allocate projects to other suppliers in the framework, outside of the specified lot, if all the suppliers allocated to a lot are not able to undertake the project.
This framework will be open to usage from all HSE teams. The framework will enable faster turnaround of R&D. It also provides a more cost effective and less burdensome way of commissioning research projects.
The framework is designed to be a 4 year contract.
We are unsure how many times we will use each individual Lot on the R&D Framework throughout the four year period. The award of each individual Lot does not guarantee any amount of work during the contract agreement period.
Whilst we anticipate using each individual Lot on the R&D Framework to fulfil our needs, we do reserve the right to choose to commission such work through other means and with other suppliers as we see fit.
3.	SCOPE OF THE SERVICES REQUIRED
The R&D Framework will be structured into 6 specialism based lots:
•	Lot A - Chemistry
•	Lot B - Ecotoxicology
•	Lot C - Efficacy
•	Lot D - Fate and Behaviour
•	Lot E - Residues
•	Lot F - Toxicology
Suppliers may, apply for one, some or all of lots (A-F). We intend to appoint 4 suppliers for each lot.

financialTerms: For Lots A - F an arbitrary spend amount  per Lot has been input to allow  the Notice to be published. There is no guarantee of any minimum/maximum amount of spend per Lot and spend will be allocated per project.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 16/06/2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.

This decision has been authorised by the Cardio Management Team at South Tees. There was no declared conflicts of interest.

The reason that South Tees have chosen Xyla as the most suitable provider (MSP) is due to the fact they know Trust and departments policies and procedures, they have a very good record on site and would be able to hit the ground running. This will aid the department with minimal downtime and disruption to patients. The trust decision makers believe a new provider would not be able to fulfill the requirement as successfully as the identified provider and therefore the decision was made to complete the MSP process. The selected supplier has previously carried out this work for the Trust to the standards required.

Surrey County Council (the Council) as the Waste Disposal Authority is responsible for the transfer, transport, treatment, and disposal of all local authority collected waste within Surrey, totalling approximately 500,000 tonnes of material each year.
The scale of this operation requires a significant amount of infrastructure; this includes a network of transfer facilities for both bulking and onward transportation of waste and recycling, along with treatment and processing facilities both within the border of Surrey and beyond.
The current infrastructure network is operating at capacity, with very little contingency. The approaching end of the current arrangements, coupled with forthcoming legislation, has prompted an examination of the infrastructure requirements needed to safeguard the Council's waste service for a changing operational, contractual and legislative environment over the medium and long term to 2050.
The Council's vision is to fundamentally shift the way municipal waste is dealt with within Surrey, driving a circular economy that aims to keep resources in use as long as possible to extract maximum value from them. The creation of new infrastructure is a vital component of this vision and will provide resilience, security and value for money for the future delivery of the waste services.
The Council is seeking to procure a contractor to design, build, finance and operate a new MRF of up to 100,000 tonnes per annum capacity and to receive and sort DMR from local authority collected waste.  The MRF will be located on land adjacent to Trumps Farm, Kitsmead Lane, Longcross

description: Contract end date has been amended as it was incorrect.

To ensure the consistent operation of Transport for London's (TfL) London Underground (also known as the Tube) network, it is essential that customer service staff, train drivers, signal engineers, and service control personnel can reach their workplaces during periods of reduced public transport service (i.e., from midnight to 6:00 am).
A Staff Travel Service has been in place since the 1980s, providing transport for London Underground (LU) operational staff to their starting locations and returning them to drop-off points closest to their homes. This service enables staff to be present in time for the first train and to return home after the last train.
In addition to LU staff, other business areas within TfL also utilise the service on an ad hoc basis for emergency situations and other unforeseen circumstances.
The Staff Travel Service is critical to maintaining day-to-day operations. If staff are not present at their place of work on time, it can have a significant knock-on effect across the LU network resulting in train cancellations, delays, and station closures.
TfL is considering the re-procurement of the Staff Travel Service and will be issuing a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) to gather insights on service capabilities, commercial models, innovation, and market capacity.

title: Oxford Covered Market - Main Contractor Procurement

description:
1. Introduction
The Council is seeking to engage with contractors and determine the procurement route to secure a main contractor to deliver the Oxford Covered Market masterplan.
The Covered Market ("the Market") has been at the heart of Oxford's city centre since its foundation in 1774. It has always been in public ownership, with Oxford City Council ("the Council) the freeholder and operator since the start of the 20th century. Its significance spans heritage, culture, and commerce, as one of only a handful of 18th century covered markets in England which has been continuously trading (bar any enforced pandemic closures). The Market celebrated its 250th Anniversary in 2024.
In February 2023 Oxford City Council Cabinet approved a heritage-led masterplan and its recommended programme of works. A full consultant team was subsequently appointed following a competitive tender process to deliver the masterplan. The team includes Gleeds Management Services Ltd as Project Managers and Contract Managers (including cost consultancy) and separately a Design Team led by Gort Scott Architects. RIBA Stage 2 works are now complete and in February 2025 further enhancements to the masterplan and additional funding was approved by Cabinet with Council approval to the revised budget. A copy of the report and masterplan are available on request.
2. Strategic Context
The Council's ambition is for Oxford to continue to be a city that is a world-leading centre of research, innovation and science and a thriving place for independent businesses. We will nurture strong, inclusive communities and be a welcoming and supportive place for people from all backgrounds to work, live and visit. In line with this, our aim is to support strong, fair and sustainable economy through this project. The Council's Corporate Priorities 2024-28 are to deliver;
•	Good, affordable homes
•	Strong, fair economy
•	Thriving communities
•	Zero carbon Oxford
•	Well-run council
Oxford plays a significant role in some of the world's most important economic sectors and technologies. Our aim is to support sustainable economic development, ensuring that our city remains an attractive and thriving place for everyone, whether they live, work, or visit here. The support for local businesses represented in the Covered Market to deliver supply chain social value can contribute directly to that agenda.
Achieving net zero will require a citywide effort, involving local and national government, businesses, institutions, and citizens. While Oxford City Council itself is responsible for around 1% of the city's emissions, it has the potential to influence up to 66% of all emissions in Oxford. We have set ambitious targets for ourselves to be a zero carbon council by 2030 and a net zero city by 2040, subject to external funding. The proposals aim to facilitate low and zero-emission movement to and from the Market and encourage local shopping and as well as improvements to the efficiency of the building fabric and utilities to support this agenda.
Any proposal should support the Council's Corporate Priorities and in the context of this brief principally to enable a strong, fair economy and carbon objectives. The form of contract will require you to demonstrate how these objectives can be supported.
3. Programme
RIBA Stage 3 works are in progress with a planning application programmed for later this year.
The programme assumes tender for the main contractor commencing late 2025 with a start on site early 2027. Completion excluding defects liability periods is estimated late 2028.

1. Engagement Overview
Oxford City Council with Gleeds Management Services Ltd are proposing a competitive flexible procurement procedure for the Covered Market refurbishment, prioritising heritage protection, cost control and minimising disruption to market traders.
Due to the complex interdependencies of design, planning, heritage, and procurement, early contractor engagement is considered critical to maintaining programme milestones and ensuring project success.
This notice is to conduct and encourage early engagement with contractors to ensure that the resultant contracting route balances the competing demands in delivering improvements to a heritage asset in use including:
•	Minimising loss of commercial income to traders.
•	Achieving the most efficient phasing of construction, whilst occupation and trade in the market continues.
•	Ensuring early input into the design team proposals and to support innovative solutions in delivering the above while respecting the heritage of the Market.
2. Key Objectives
The key objectives from the procurement are:
•	Pre-Construction Advice: Engaging early contractor input to refine phasing, logistics, and cost planning.
•	Public Procurement Act 2023 (effective 24 February 2025) Compliance: Ensuring transparency, fairness, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) inclusion.
•	Risk and Cost Management: Mitigating financial risks while maintaining programme flexibility.
