The NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) is a health authority charged with identifying, investigating and preventing fraud and other economic crime within the NHS and the wider health group.  As a health authority focused entirely on counter fraud work, the NHSCFA is independent from other NHS bodies and directly accountable to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

According to our latest estimate, the NHS is vulnerable to £1.264 billion worth of fraud each year (source NHSCFA Strategic Intelligence Assessment 2023). The mission of the organisation is to lead the fight against fraud affecting the NHS and wider health service, and protect vital resources intended for patient care.

As an intelligence-led organisation, the NHSCFA will use information from a wide range of sources to build a better understanding of the fraud risks faced by the NHS and develop creative, innovative and proportionate solutions to tackle fraud.

The NHSCFA use complex algorithms and data mining tools as a means to identify both normal behaviour and outliers in NHS data, within which fraudulent behaviour can be found. The resulting analyses are used to support ongoing investigations as well as inform the intelligence picture and guide fraud prevention steps.

One of the products used by the NHSCFA is egress technology, which allows for the secure transfer of email and data. The incumbent supplier is currently Egress Software Technology Ltd.
The NHSCFA is looking to run an RFI to understand what similar services and products available and possible procurement routes within market are (e.g. frameworks). This is to prepare the NHSCFA for an upcoming procurement mid-2025. Additional information: How to Participate

Price

description:
For each lot the Supplier is tendering for, Suppliers total price will be compared to the tender with the lowest price to calculate the total price score as follows (excluding any tenders that are excluded or do not meet the Conditions of Participation or do not meet any minimum score thresholds for quality):
(Lowest Price Tender / Supplier's Tender) * Price Weighting.
For evaluation purposes, the cost for each item is calculated by combining the Day and Week rates in relation to the average hire period. For example, if the average hire period is 20 days:
20 / 7 (rounded down to a whole number) = 2 weeks
20 - 14 (Days in 2 weeks) = 6 days
Cost for item = (2 * Weekly rate) + (6 * Day rate)
Suppliers total Price is then calculated by summing together the costs for each item.

description:
It is intended that Manchester City Council with award this framework to up to 3 Providers per lot. However, the Council reserves the right to award more or less Providers depending on the outcome of this tender exercise.
Rules of the Framework:
This framework will allow Manchester City Council to call off contracts either by further competition or Direct Award without reopening competition.
Further Competition (mini competition):
When the framework agreement does not include all the terms governing the provision of the works, services and supplies concerned, the contracting authority must organise a further competition between the providers which are party to the framework agreement.
It is intended that further competitions will be used when:
•	The value of the contract is £50,000 or more
•	There is sufficient time to run a competitive procedure that it would not be prejudicial to the council's interests.
•	Where further competition is the chosen route, all providers awarded under the framework will be invited to participate, unless it is clear that particular firms cannot meet the specific needs.
The tender/quotation document will describe the requirement and tell bidders the basis on which evaluation of offers will be made (e.g., price, product quality, delivery period etc., together with an indication of the relative importance of these criteria).  The Evaluation Criteria Price, Quality, 20% Social Value and 10% Environment will remain unchanged in evaluating further competition.  The weightings for Price and Quality criteria may differ to the original tender.
Criteria used for a further competition may differ from the award criteria used to set up the framework if they are related to (i.e. derive from) the original award criteria.
Bidders will be allowed sufficient time to prepare and submit their quotations.
Prices submitted during a further competition exercise must not exceed the relevant rates detailed in the Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage.
All documentation issued for further competition must refer to Manchester's Framework P-0549 in the invitation to quote*.
Direct award without re-opening competition:
If the framework agreement sets out all the terms governing the provision of the works, services and/or supplies concerned and all the objective conditions that are required to make a decision for award of the specific contract, then awarding the contract without re-opening competition amongst the parties to the framework agreement may be used. In this instance, the choice of provider must be based on the objective criteria laid out in the procurement documentation.
It is intended that direct awards will be available when:
•	The value of the contract is under £50,000
•	The time needed to run a further competition exercise would be prejudicial to the Council's interests.
•	Where direct award is the chosen route, the highest-ranking organisation from this tender exercise will be asked to confirm their availability to carry out the works. If the highest-ranking organisation is not available, the same process will be carried out with the next highest-ranking organisation. (This will continue until a suitable award is made).
For any direct award, the Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage will be used to price the works required.

description:
Medway Council invites quotations from suitable contractors for repair and upgrading works in Town Hall Gardens, Chatham.
In summary the main parts of the work, by value, involve:
1. Removal of a section of existing posts and railing type fence and replacing with a gated entrance. The new drop kerb crossover area will be block paved with conservation setts.
2. A 20m extension of fencing to match with the existing, to the Contractor’s design using the guidelines and performance requirements stated on the tender drawings.
3. Construction of a new 2m wide, 45m long footpath using Tree Root Protection methods and specialist permeable surfacing using resin bound aggregates.
4. Repair and resurfacing a network of existing asphalt footpaths with approximately 1350m2 being repaired using asphalt reinforcement methods and overlay resurfacing. All resurfaced footpaths will be surface dressed with Buff colour chippings, to match in with the footpaths at Great Lines Heritage Park which is adjacent to Town Hall Gardens.
5. Flights of steps at two locations for connecting onto the public Highways. One location will have brick retaining walls.
6. Approximately 900m of metal edgings in either mild steel, aluminium or Corten steel. These will be priced separately in the tender.
7. Relocation of street lighting columns and road signs.
8. Supply and installation of 8 (eight) amenity benches – this includes 6 new benches and 2 reinstallations of existing benches on site.
The site has various constraints including the network of footpaths. These have connections onto the local Highways for pedestrian routes to or from Gillingham and Chatham through the Great Lines Heritage Park. The main route through Town Hall Gardens is an official Public Right of Way which will require temporary closures and diversion at various times during construction. There is also a play area in the south-eastern corner of the site.
The most significant constraint is that the whole site is an ancient burial site with unmarked graves spread across the site. Whilst only the new path, is a new construction, there are depressions along the existing footpaths that imply the existing footpaths may have been constructed over some of the graves. Excavations are generally to be avoided.

title: Literature Review for Groundwater Activity Cost Benefit

description:
Early market engagement is designed to benefit both those who may be interested in bidding for the proposal (when issued), but also to garner suggestions from a wider audience into how the technical approach could be refined and/altered.
Project Specification
The purpose of this project is to carry out a literature review of UK specific resources to evaluate what may be considered disproportionately costly in a necessary and reasonable measures evaluation for groundwater activities.
Background
Any discharge of pollutants which enter groundwater directly, or may enter into soil and reach groundwater, is a groundwater activity. Groundwater activities are regulated under Schedule 22 to the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 (EPR 2016).
In accordance with the regulations, the Environment Agency must ensure that all necessary and reasonable measures are taken to:
•	prevent the input of hazardous substances to groundwater, and
•	limit the input of non-hazardous pollutants to groundwater so as to ensure that such inputs do not cause pollution of groundwater
This is what we call 'prevent and limit'. Permit applications for groundwater activities must show that they can meet 'prevent and limit' before the Environment Agency can grant a permit for a groundwater activity.
Defra's Groundwater activity core guidance to the Environment Agency recognises that 'prevent' is not absolute and there is a practical limit to what realistically can be achieved within the overall context of aiming to avoid the introduction of all hazardous substances to groundwater. Paragraph 4.17 also explains how an input of hazardous substances would be prevented, for example, if:
•	there is no discernible concentration of a hazardous substance in the discharge. This would also clearly come within the exemption under paragraph 3(3)(b) of Schedule 22 to the 2016 Regulations, with only limited assessment needed to make this judgement: or
•	there are no discernible concentrations of hazardous substances attributable to the discharge in groundwater immediately down-gradient of the discharge zone, subject to adequate monitoring (or in the case of new discharges a detailed predictive hydrogeological impact assessment); or
•	there are (or are predicted to be) discernible concentrations of hazardous substances in the groundwater down-gradient of the discharge zone attributable to the discharge but all of the following conditions apply:
(a) concentrations will not result in any actual pollution or a significant risk of pollution in the future; and
(b) there is no progressive increase in the concentration of hazardous substances outside the immediate discharge zone, that is there will be no statistically and environmentally significant and sustained upward trend or significant increasing frequency in pollutant "spikes"; and
(c) all necessary and reasonable measures to avoid the input of hazardous substances into groundwater have been taken (see below)
Defra's groundwater activity core guidance provides some brief guidance on what necessary and reasonable measures could be: "A reasonable measure would be one where the necessary technical precautions to prevent inputs to groundwater are technically feasible, not disproportionately costly and are within the control of the operator."
The Environment Agency anticipates an increased number of groundwater activity permit applications for the re-deposit of contaminated materials at brownfield sites where there are predicted to be discernible concentrations of hazardous substances in groundwater immediately down-gradient from, and which are attributable to, the re-deposit. In these instances, applicants will need to use a 'necessary and reasonable measures' evaluation to show they have prevented inputs of hazardous substances into groundwater as per sub bullet (c) above. Evaluating risks from groundwater activities is different from evaluating risks from legacy contamination, because hazardous substances may already be present in groundwater.
Currently, although there is guidance on cost benefit analysis, including specifically what may be disproportionate costs for the remediation of land contamination, this project specifically aims to understand the specific costs and benefits that can be applied directly to groundwater activities (as defined in Schedule 22 of the EPR).
The National Groundwater Team at the Environment Agency has identified that there is a need to produce new guidance on what are 'necessary and reasonable measures' in the context of groundwater activities, what is disproportionately costly for groundwater and how to evaluate this. Necessary and reasonable measures evaluations could be semi quantitative or fully quantitative depending on the risk of the activity and sensitivity of groundwater at the site-specific location.
To ultimately support the production of the new guidance, the deliverables for this project are to:
1.	Undertake a literature review of UK-specific resources to evaluate what may be considered as disproportionately costly in a necessary and reasonable measures assessment for groundwater activities.  This literature review should include, as a minimum, historic cost benefit reports Environment Agency R&D Technical Reports P278, P279, P316 and P2-078/TR. However, we invite you to use other relevant literature sources, where applicable.
2.	Produce a report detailing the outcomes of the literature review (1) that could be incorporated into new guidance on disproportionate costs in a necessary and reasonable measures assessment for groundwater activities or to identify gaps in the literature and further research is needed.

title: Review of National Highways Supply Chain Readiness for delivery of RIS3

description: Tender notice on Find a Tender

description: In RP3, there will be a notable increase in the number and size of renewals schemes on the strategic road network. It will include an expansion of the type of assets being renewed, such as an increase in roadside technology renewal and will require a shift in the type of supplier required to deliver works.  This may present risks to the delivery of the renewals programme, if the appropriate supply chain resources do not have the capacity or capability to deliver in an agile environment. The project is being commissioned to allow ORR and NH to identify and assess the risks to delivery of RIS3 and the potential for cost escalation and schedule delay.  We are seeking support from an appropriate consultant to provide us with a clear understanding of these risks and the measures to mitigate them

title: BLC0288 Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Social Media Screening Capabilities

description:
Further to the UK1: Pipeline Notice published on 23rd May by the Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (ref: 2025/S 000-025700) for vetting social media monitoring, BlueLight Commercial will be taking this procurement forward with the intention to establish a national framework for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) social media screening capabilities for policing.
Currently vetting open source checks are performed via manual methods, examples of user cases are;
•	New joiners, renewals, ad hoc vetting and national security clearance
•	Members of public to support with intelligence or firearms applications
•	Internal staff intelligence to support with professional standards investigations
This does not always provide a consistent approach, guarantee a full audit trail of checks and is not efficient for in depth or wide scale checks. The intention is that the introduction of a software solution will support forces to automate the process as much as possible and ensure compliance with the Authorised Professional Practice (APP) guidelines issued by College of Policing.
Consistency, performance and reliability over a large volume of checks are also key requirements. It is anticipated that policing nationally could generate in excess of 155,000 individual open source checks per annum with the Metropolitan Police currently generating 31,000 of these, which is likely to increase on an introduction of a solution and rolled out to other user departments.
BlueLight Commercial are issuing this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, and invite interested suppliers to attend a market engagement session on 1st September 2025, 10am. During the session we will be providing further details on the establishment of a framework for OSINT social media monitoring, specifically to support the challenges in policing.
This session is intended as awareness, communication, and informing the market of the objectives of the framework, the tendering process and key timescales for framework go live. It is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any future opportunity once a tender notice is published on Find a Tender Service (FTS).
This preliminary market engagement notice is not a pre-qualification questionnaire and is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process and is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise only to help inform a subsequent procurement exercise.
BlueLight Commercial are utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this procurement and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to express their interest. Please note that it is free to register on In-Tend, which can be accessed via  https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/publictenders

Scope and delivery of the work
The work consists of replacement kitchens and bathrooms. A local and professional contractor is needed to supply and fit these consistent with the specification attached and in the case of kitchen replacements, liaise with both Housing Solutions and the kitchen supplier to carry out joint design surveys. We currently install Howdens kitchens (Greenwich Range) and will most likely continue to fit these. However, an alternative pricing option is also to be submitted for non-Howdens Kitchens (see Appendix 6 - Commercial Response 1 & 2). We do not have a direct relationship with any kitchen manufacturer and expect you to negotiate your own prices with Howdens and another, being sure to allow for the supply in your basket rates. We assume you will engage a Resident Liaison Officer (RLO) and will liaise directly with the residents regarding, surveys, installation dates, general updates, correspondents, access arrangements and any issues that arise before, during and after the works. Note: Two additional weeks have been added to the submission deadline to accommodate the expectation of there being an alternative set of pricing using any other 'non-Howdens' manufacturer for the Kitchens pricing element. No further extensions will be given.
Programme scale and duration
We intend appointing for an initial contract period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further two years on a 1 + 1 basis. We estimate the value of the contract to be up to £6.5m over the max term of the contract.
Geographical distribution
Housing Solutions was originally formed from transferred Local Authority homes in Maidenhead. These still form the majority of our homes, although there are post-1995 developments in Reading, High Wycombe, Slough, Bracknell, Farnborough, Wokingham, and other locations in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Each year, our programme will consist of approximately 200-500 homes across our estate (depending on each year's agreed budget). Around 70% of our stock are within the Maidenhead area, however as above there are some homes in other areas like Reading, Farnborough, Wokingham, Slough, Windsor, Bracknell.
Programming
We will leave programming of the work to you. We may have a small number of high-priority cases needing to be done earlier, but in general we would give you our address list for each financial year (April to March) and you can determine your own programme to deliver it. We expect that once work on an individual property have commenced, they are completed within 10 working days for kitchens and 8 working days for bathrooms where practicable and these targets will form part of the KPI suite. The priority is to give the tenant clear timescales, which are met. We would expect essential services (kitchen sink, heating, electricity gas and water) to be restored at the end of each working day.
CDM
We will appoint the Quoin Consultancy as Principal Designer, you will be appointed Principal Contractor. We assume you will prepare the key documents and Quoin will check them against the regulations.
Pricing model
Works will be priced on basket rates per the attached specification and pricing matrix with variation on M3NHF SOR Version 7.0. As above, there is also a requirement to put forward an additional 'alternative bid' that features another brand (not Howdens).
Pricing:
All relevant pricing is to be submitted via the Pricing Matrix (Appendix 6) as all-inclusive (meaning they must include all aspects required to supply and install full kitchens and bathrooms). To ensure a fair and like-for-like comparison; Tender prices are to be offered and agreed on the basis that pricing will be fixed for the first 2 years of the contract.
Ordering and payment
•	Works will be issued on an individual order and variations must be approved in line with the variations process before they are actioned. Final invoiced amounts must be raised within 2 months of completion, to avoid a backlog of invoices.
•	Invoices will not be processed until all certification has been received (Uploaded into a portal or drop box) including, but not limited to electrical certification (installation & minor works), gas safety certificate, kitchen designs, customers selection surveys and customer satisfaction surveys.
•	You will also be expected to update our works portal (Connect) so the progress of all works can be monitored throughout the duration of the contract.
Form of contract
The form of contract will be the JCT Measured Term Contract (MTC2024)
KPIs
•	Completed Works Programme
•	Install Timeframe
•	Resident Satisfaction
•	Using Agreed Pricing
•	Aftercare (Snagging)
•	Client Handover Pass Rate
•	Client Health & Safety
•	Documents & Compliance Certifications

riskDetails:
Budgets are approved on an annual basis, and replacement activity / spend could go up or down during the life of the contract. HS will aim to work closely with the successful bidder/Contractor + plan a year in advance.
The DLO is anticipated to cover approx 50% of the overall K&B requirements. However, if their activity level falls below this, additional spend/activity is likely to go to the successful bidder/Contractor.

description: Public undertaking

noEngagementNoticeRationale: The project team had anticipated this contracting opportunity to have been advertised in Dec-24 / Jan-25 before PA23 came in. Some initial pre-market engagement conversations took place with existing suppliers for fire and/or H&S related services and some provided feedback on intended approach + draft Service Specification and Pricing Matrix docs. The team therefore felt that no further value would be gleaned by postponing the procurement to undertake any additional pre-market engagement activities in order to produce Notice.
