hold a competition involving all suppliers capable of performing the contract. This will involve inviting bids from Suppliers on the Framework and will be scaled to the size and complexity of the requirement ("Further Competition") Contracting Authorities may appoint a single provider for one or more Lots.
Or directly award a contract to one supplier from information supplied in the Invitation to Tender and from the prices submitted in the pricing schedule ("Direct Award") (Lot 5 only).

•	The services offered in the Invitation to Tender aligned with the specific requirement.
•	The price(s) quoted in the Pricing Schedule
•	Any capacity constraints indicated within the Framework tender response.
Where a Provider is unable to fulfil the requirement at direct contract award, the next most appropriate Provider will be awarded the contract.

description:
HM Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), as part of the justice system, plays a crucial role in society. HMPPS protects the public, maintains safe and secure prisons and reduces the risk that people will reoffend. We work together to help people to live law abiding and positive lives.
HMPPS delivers the government’s vision and investment to make prisons places of safety and reform and to ensure probation services support the rehabilitation of offenders while protecting the public. We provide safe and supportive environments, where people work through the reasons that caused them to offend and prepare for a more positive future.
The Psychology Services Group (PSG) provide evidence-based, psychological, and therapeutic services to support people in custody and on probation aimed at reducing their risk of harm and reoffending.
Staff provide a HMPPS-wide specialist service and defensible evidence to support decision-making and influence operational policy at a National, Regional, and local level. Psychological services are largely broken down into assessment, intervention, training, research/projects, and consultancy advice and support.
This specific requirement is for suitably qualified and experienced Registered Forensic Psychologists (with at least 2 years post qualification experience) to provide Psychology Report Services for Offenders. Services will be required on both a regular and ad-hoc basis to support work usually undertaken by HMPPS staff.
The Reports Services requirement includes delivery of the following:
a.	Psychology Risk Assessments (PRAs)
b.	Responsivity and Suitability Assessments
c.	Case Reviews
HMPPS require the ability to procure these services to support the internal capacity to deliver and the Authority intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework with a duration of 5 years for delivery of these services. The maximum number of suppliers on the Framework will be ten (10), however, in the instance that more than one supplier achieving the same overall score during evaluation takes the number of suppliers above ten (10), the Authority will apply a sequencial tie-breaker process.
The services will be delivered nationally across HMPPS Public Sector settings primarily in Prisons, and there may on occasion be a requirement for delivery in Non-HMPPS Service Delivery Sites (including Northern Ireland and Scotland).
The requirement for these services will vary over time in volume and frequency and any volumes provided in relation to this requirement are based upon historical figures and are provided for indicative purposes only. There are no guaranteed volumes for the services required.
All Psychology Report Services commissioned by HMPPS Psychology Services must meet the required Quality Standards set by the process relevant to the type of Report (e.g. Parole Board, MAPPA, internal guidance documents), and adherence to the relevant HMPPS Policies and Frameworks.

description: The Borough Council of Calderdale (the "Council") is commissioning a 16+ Supported Accommodation Service (the "Service) for Children Looked After (CLA) and Young People Leaving Care aged 16 and 17 years old on admission (2 Lots). The Service will provide high quality support to enable Young People to be as prepared as possible for adulthood, living independently, for financial responsibility, and to enable them to secure education, training, or employment opportunities. Supported accommodation provides accommodation with support for 16- and 17-year-old Children Looked After and Young People Leaving Care, to enable them to live semi-independently. The provision of accommodation is regulated under the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023. The Service will be delivered in two Lots; Lot 1: 16+ Supported Accommodation - Children Looked After and Young People Leaving Care and, Lot 2: 16+ Supported Accommodation Service - Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Children. It is anticipated that the 16+ Supported Accommodation Service contracts will commence on the 10th December 2025 for a period of five years with the option to extend for a further two periods of up to 24 months. Preliminary market engagement was carried out prior to the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023. This Tender process is for the procurement of Multi-award Contracts on a no guarantee of work basis, to an unlimited number of providers through one tender process for the duration of the contract. In addition to the Tender, the Council may make use of User Choice Direct Award contracts where appropriate under the Procurement legislation to ensure Children and Young People are allocated a service in a timely manner to ensure their needs are met. I.e. This is likely to be where there are capacity issues amongst the successful providers awarded a contract under the Tender and there is urgent need for a placement to be made.

In accordance with Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, the new services will respond to the duty on local authorities to provide support for all victims of domestic abuse and their children within safe and 'relevant' accommodation.
They will also be expected to make a key contribution to Wolverhampton's response to children affected by domestic abuse as victims in their own right, as set out in the Act (2021).
Consideration is being given to the division of lots, with configuration to be determined.
CWC would like to invite market providers to attend two engagement events aimed at informing and refining the new service specifications. One event will focus on safe accommodation and the other on the commissioning model.
As well as engagement events, individual drop-in slots will also be made available, where providers will have the opportunity to meet CWC to discuss aspects of the commission.

description: New 4-year framework

description:
The NDA’s Draft Strategy (2025), which underwent public consultation in 2025, identifies five strategic themes:
• Site Decommissioning and Remediation
• Spent Fuel Management
• Nuclear Materials
• Integrated Waste Management
• Critical Enablers.
Site Decommissioning and Remediation defines our approach to decommissioning redundant nuclear facilities, managing land quality and preparing our sites for their long-term end states.  This work involves reducing environmental risks, clearing hazardous materials and restoring land for potential reuse that benefits local communities.
Spent Fuel Management defines our approach to managing the diverse range of spent nuclear fuels for which we are responsible.
Nuclear Materials defines our approach to managing the safe storage and disposition on our sites of the UK’s stocks of nuclear materials, including plutonium and uranium.
Integrated Waste Management considers how we manage all forms of waste arising from operating and decommissioning our sites, including waste retrieved from legacy facilities. Our approach ensures proper consideration of the Waste Hierarchy and the system as a whole including preparations for final disposal.
Critical Enablers support the overall delivery of our mission and any additional liabilities we receive from the wider UK nuclear enterprise. Some of these Critical Enablers, reflect the supplementary duties assigned to the NDA by the Energy Act (2004).
Our role in the UK nuclear enterprise has also expanded since our previous Strategy was published in 2021. We aim to leverage the unique capabilities and infrastructure of the NDA group to support the UK nuclear enterprise while ensuring the successful delivery of our mission remains our priority.
In our Draft Strategy (2025), we make commitments to continue strategy development across all themes. This covers a range of work packages and/or programmes that investigate both near and long-term challenges related to NDA’s mission. Some of this work may be funded by NDA operating companies and some by the NDA. The nature of these packages/programmes is mainly technical but non-technical areas may be included as well.
In order to ensure that there is a sufficient diversity of views and specialised expertise available for directing and reviewing the strategy development work, the NDA group wishes to use independent external subject matter expert support.
Further detail about NDA strategy can be found in:
The NDA group Draft Strategy 2025 for public consultation
The fifth iteration of the NDA’s Strategy will be published in early 2026.
 Scope of Work
Under this framework, the NDA and its operating companies are seeking independent subject matter expert support and review to its strategy development work packages and/or programmes
The scope of this framework will cover all the NDA group’s strategic driving themes (Site Decommissioning and Remediation, Integrated Waste Management, Spent Fuels and Nuclear Materials) as discussed in the NDA’s Draft Strategy (2025).  Support to Non-NDA Liabilities strategy development and group strategic planning will also be required.
A depth and breadth of technical knowledge and expertise in all the areas identified is a pivotal requirement, as well as an understanding of the main technical challenges and relevant interfaces and integration with NDA Critical Enablers. The nature of work to be delivered will include technical review of NDA’s strategy development work and support to planning and management of technical work programmes.
The NDA group expects that Tenderers can demonstrate:
• experience and expertise in delivering complex technical work programmes covering all driving strategic themes of the NDA group’s strategy as well as Non-NDA Liabilities and support to group strategic planning
• an understanding of the NDA group’s strategy and strategy development needs and main challenges the group may face across all aforementioned areas
• specialised technical expertise across all aforementioned areas including an understanding of relevant UK and international good practice, and access to both operational and UK nuclear regulatory knowledge and experience
• depth and breadth of knowledge of the group mission and NDA’s sites as well as the wider UK nuclear enterprise and other UK nuclear sites, e.g. MOD owned sites or AGR sites
• availability of a diverse team or consortium.
The scopes of work that the NDA group is expecting to deliver under this framework can be divided into the following areas:
• support to policy, legal and regulatory matters which directly relate to NDA group strategy development
• support to strategy development undertaken by the NDA group (NDA and/or operating companies)
• support in designing, facilitating and managing NDA group strategy development tasks, work packages, projects or programmes
• support to NDA group review of strategic work programmes delivered under other NDA group frameworks (such as the NDA Research Portfolio)
• support to the development of business/organisational strategy, and
• support the assessment of impacts of strategic intervention(s) on the group mission and/or operating company delivery plans (to inform decision-making).
Typical tasks required to deliver these scopes may involve, but not limited to:
• the development of roadmaps to underpin strategy or support future decisions
• the use of assessment tools like the NDA Value Framework, and tools to transit from strategy to implementation
• engaging with various NDA group and external stakeholders and to bring in expertise that covers one or several strategic themes in both breadth and depth
• reviewing technical and strategic documents across all the NDA’s strategic themes and provide the NDA with a breadth and depth of relevant views
• subject matter expert support in reviewing deliverables produced under other frameworks such as the NDA Research Portfolio
• the design and review of experimental work, scientific research and R&D projects
• the development of technical task specifications or Invitations to Tender (ITTs), as well as the review of tender returns
• arranging technical meetings, workshops or for a to support the review and development of programmes that underpin strategy or future decisions. Participants to these meetings may include the NDA group, regulators, subcontracting chain or independent experts. As well as providing subject matter expert support, this will involve coordinating and arranging meetings, agenda preparation and taking minutes, meeting facilitation
• facilitating workshops that cover complex technical topics using various meeting facilitation techniques.
This procurement is looking to establish this framework for a maximum length of 4 years.

description: Tender notice on Find a Tender

description:
The scores for all award criteria will be totalled to give an overall score for each lot. The Council intends to select the suppliers that meet or exceed the minimum thresholds, for both Quality and the overall score as its successful bidders and place them on the framework.
Those successful framework providers will be ranked by their scores.   Provider ranking will be used as part of the award criteria for allocation of Contracts.
There is no guarantee that providers that successfully make it on to the framework will be allocated any or all of the courses they are bidding for.  We expect that in some circumstances there may be more providers than we can fund given the limited resources available.
The Council will decide on how the provision for each Lot will be allocated to successful Providers by considering the following criteria to co-ordinate a balanced curriculum and avoid unnecessary duplication:
•	Quality  80%
•	Price/ Value for money 20%
The following factors are also taken into account:
•	Learner needs
•	Course content
•	Course location
•	Maximum Contract value
The highest ranked provider in each Lot will be the provider that has the highest combined score of Quality & Price (Weight 80% Quality and 20% Price).  Commissioners will work down the ranked list of providers for each Lot until the budget has been exhausted.
The Council reserves the right to use its discretion to pass over a supplier in a lot if there is a duplication of Course content, location or learner needs.   Where a supplier is bidding for multiple Lots, the Council reserves the right to allocate Lots in any order when calculating the maximum contract value.

noEngagementNoticeRationale: Market engagement was undertaken, though a pre-market engagement notice was not issued due to prior notices already covering the scope. Under the Pathology Solutions Prior Information Notice (PIN) (OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-0468c3), 20 suppliers were consulted across two lots via Teams meetings. For Slide Storage, a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) notice was published, and discussions with 5 suppliers identified an urgent need for a procurement route focused on specialised storage and archiving for blocks and slides. This requirement aligns more effectively with the Anatomical Pathology Automation Framework, offering a streamlined approach for customer engagement. HTE considers the elapsed engagement period sufficient to confirm market readiness.

description: Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

description:
Defra Group Commercial on behalf of Environment Agency (EA) intends to publish a tender opportunity for the provision of Ouse Washes Habitat Creation Project (OWHCP), tentatively scheduled early 2026.
Purpose of Engagement:
Market engagement is being undertaken because our requirements have two unusual features.  First, we are looking for a single supplier to undertake all aspects of habitat design, undertake works on the ground, and subsequently manage the site and habitat.  We are doing so because in practice for habitat creation schemes there are not clear boundaries between these stages and is an iterative process.  Second, we require the contractual arrangements to be in pace for 25 years.  This is because habitat establishment is a gradual process over a number of years and involves suppliers developing an understanding over time as to how the site functions under different circumstances.  A shorter duration would lose the efficiency of having built such experience and knowledge.
From market engagement we hope to understand the size and maturity of the pool of potential suppliers, their technical capabilities and experience, and gauge their appetite for entering into such long-term arrangements.
Scope of Engagement:
The client has the intention of creating approximately 200ha of new wet grassland habitat suitable to accommodate breeding snipe, black-tailed godwit, and ruff, and also for wintering wigeon.   The site is located at Sutton within the Cambridgeshire Fens, adjacent to the Ouse Washes.  The landholding is being assembled and so the final site boundary is still to be set.  The land is largely peat-based currently in cultivation.  The supplier is required to produce the scheme design together with materials needed to secure consents, undertake the habitat creation works, and then manage the site and habitat for 25 years.  The design and construction work will be administered through an NEC Engineering and Construction Contract, and the site management will be subject to a bespoke management agreement.
The supplier will design the scheme from scratch taking account the nature of the site and constraints.  A specification for the habitat has been produced, but it is accepted that given the site and constraints the specification may not be met at all times across the whole site.  The main design constraint is that in order to manage cost no large-scale water storage such as a raised reservoir or excavated lake will be included.  In addition, to manage the risk to archaeology, as far as possible excavation must be confined to the top 0.5m of the ground.  A range of possible water sources have been identified but it would be for the supplier to secure sources and design how water is stored and managed across the site.  There is ground information available, largely from hand auger survey, to inform the design.
Dependent on the design it is anticipated the following consents will be required: planning permission (for some elements), abstraction licence, IDB bylaw consent, Flood Risk Activity Permit, and Scheduled Monument consent.  The supplier will provide the studies and reports needed to support consent applications by the client, such as environmental impact assessment, flood risk assessment, Habitats Regulations assessment, biodiversity net gain assessment.  A range of ecological and archaeological studies and surveys have been completed and may need to be updated in order to inform the design, consents, construction, and possible protected species licence application.
Following acceptance of the design by the client and the granting of consents the supplier will undertake the habitat creation works.  It is appreciated that habitat creation especially for wetland sites can be an iterative and possibly extended process.  While land acquisition is still in progress, in order to make a start on the ground the scheme delivery may be divided into two or more phases that are progressed once all the land within a phase has been secured.  Each phase would need to be ecologically appropriate and hydrologically self-contained in order that water levels can be raised.  It would be for the supplier to propose the phases as part of the overall integrated scheme design.  The timing of phases will depend on the land acquisition process and could potentially be years apart.  The contractual arrangements will be designed to accommodate a phased approach.
When habitat creation works are completed for the whole site, or the first phase, the 25-year habitat management stage will commence.  The supplier will be wholly responsible for and address all aspects of site management.  The first step will be the production of the site management plan for acceptance by the client.  Thereafter the client and supplier will meet and review progress with respect the target species and an overview of management activity on an annual basis.  The management agreement will include provisions for its breaking should the habitat creation be no longer required, become unfeasible, or if there are issues of poor supplier performance.
Engagement Method:
Written submissions are required via email to Mohammed.Ali1@defra.gov.uk expressing interest in the outline above and some demonstration of your technical competence and robustness as a business.
We would appreciate receiving all expressions of interest by 12pm on 28th October 2025
Outcome Use:
Feedback from engagement will either confirm our intended procurement approach or may cause us to reconsider aspects of it.  This could include, for example, the reliance on a single supplier or the duration of the management agreement.
We will consider holding a virtual supplier engagement event. This session would provide an overview of our requirements and invite supplier feedback. A Q&A session would follow, giving participants the opportunity to raise questions which will be addressed by our team, please state in your response if this would be something you would be interested in.
Transparency Statement:
To confirm, the undertaking of this engagement is not part of a call for competition.  Participation or absence from it will not influence future tendering outcomes.
