The Authority provided services to 68 different languages during 2024-25.
The 2023-24 cost of procuring the required language interpretation services was circa £260,000. Of this spend, most requests for spoken interpretation were related to Children's Services, with the remainder related to Adult Services. Circa £82,000 of this cost was for document translation.

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to seek expressions of interest in being considered as the most suitable provider for the delivery of a Community Chronic Pain Pathway (CPP) Service on behalf of Frimley Integrated Care Board (ICB).

The ICB is launching the Frimley Community Chronic Pain Pathway for patients aged 18 and over with chronic pain lasting more than three months. The CPP offers early intervention, assessments, physical and psychological management, medication management, and necessary treatments. It serves those living in or registered with general practices in the Frimley ICB area, which includes Bracknell Forest, North East Hampshire & Farnham, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, Slough, and Surrey Heath.

The ICB is seeking to secure a Prime Provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver a comprehensive end-to end service for the Community Chronic Pain Pathway, focusing on a therapy-led and fully integrated

approach.  For the Successful Provider, several key capabilities will be essential. This includes, but is not limited to:

- suitable premises across all areas of the Frimley ICS geography with capacity for sufficient face to face, with accessibility for the core 20 population areas and other populations of high need. The premises will also need to meet all relevant Faculty of Pain Medicine Core Standards (2021) for surgical interventions.
- access to diagnostic testing, including (but not limited to) blood work, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and x-ray.
- an experienced multidisciplinary team (MDT) to deliver a range of medical and non-medical interventions providing advice, assessment and treatment via individual and group sessions including Pain Management Programmes, Physiotherapy, Psychology, combined Physiotherapy & Psychology and Movement groups.
- Multidisciplinary clinical workforce to work as a single integrated Chronic Pain team, including Nurses, Physiotherapists / Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Psychologists, each with specialisms in Chronic Pain. Also, Pharmacist or OT and Medics such as Consultant in Chronic Pain/Anaesthetics.
-  Interventions include soft tissue injections, ultrasound guided injections and image guided injections, Botox and Capsaicin patch, opioid tapering where appropriate and support to primary care for opioid prescribing. Surgical interventions requiring Anaesthetics.
- Model to support and educate GPs is fundamental to optimise analgesia, promote self-management and to manage pain flare ups. As part of referral management, the service must ensure that all patients referred have received conservative treatment including rehabilitation support prior to acceptance within the chronic pain pathway.
-The Provider will also employ the relevant administrative and operational staff to manage an effective and coordinated booking system, enabling ease of communication for referred patients.
-Interoperability with existing systems (including digital) and integration between providers to deliver a single cohesive offer.

There is potential for a level of an existing waiting list held within acute trust to be moved into service scope, as additional activity.

The contract will commence 1st October 2025 until 30th September 2030, with the option to extend for up to a further two years (i.e. 30th September 2032).

The anticipated contract value is £2,610,789 per annum. This would therefore be a total contract value of £18,275,523 over the full 7-year lifetime of the contract, subject to NHS Payment Scheme’s published net annual cost uplift factor.

TUPE is likely to apply for this service. Further details will be provided at a further stage of this process, as required.

Providers wishing to express an interest must do so within the e-procurement system where providers can access to a questionnaire which must be submitted to complete their expression of interest.

Expressions of interest must be submitted no later than 12 noon on the 8th May 2025 via the e-procurement portal.

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.

NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care board (ICB) is seeking to secure a Provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver Postvention Bereavement Services to residents or people who are registered with a GP, within the boundaries of Swindon and Wiltshire.
A core feature of service provision will be the continuous involvement of people with lived experience to inform and influence ongoing transformation and development. This will be achieved through not only formal opportunities but also through comprehensive analysis of data and outcomes related to people seen within the services.
Access Information will be gathered by the service provider and uploaded into the Mental Health Services Dataset (MHSDS). This will, as a minimum, allow number of contacts (at patient level) to be measured. Through joint work with partners and using outputs from the MHSDS, the provider will demonstrate how their service offer has provided timely access to the service and, where relevant, timely transfer to other partners. This will include: waiting time to first contact, waiting time to first intervention and waiting time for any onward intervention required. They will monitor this quarterly in conjunction with commissioners or more frequently if required.
At first contact, staff will be expected to conduct a support conversation with the individual. This support conversation will establish individual goals and anticipated outcomes that the person will be supported to work towards. This will be recorded on the agreed patient record in order that the information follows the person and they only have to tell their story once.
The service will enable full coverage of (B)SW with Postvention Bereavement support for individuals affected by and involved with the person, including family and friends, work colleagues, plus any agencies who may have been involved with person.
Interventions will include:
•	Clear information on the service is available, including a description of the service, what it offers, contact details and how to make a referral. Easy access to the service, whether via the person's GP, self-referral, Police, other health and care professionals or as directed by other mental health services. Access to be available by telephone and email.
•	Referrals to the service will be responded to within a maximum of 48 hours.
•	The person will be offered an appointment (type and time of their choosing) so a thorough holistic assessment of an individual's needs and risks can be undertaken.
•	Provide a safe space for listening, and co-creation of a safety and support plan.
•	One to one sessions in person or virtually on weekdays and in the evenings.
•	Undertake risk assessment scales to be able to respond to change in risks and signpost to appropriate support services.
•	Provide person centred, emotional support, to include coping strategies.
•	Practical support including help to navigate processes such as police processes, funeral arrangements, inquest, the media, notifying companies of the death and communication with employers
•	Signposting and referral to other services.
•	Group support sessions (face to face and online) to include solution focused strategies.
•	Attend MDTs as and when required.
•	Onwards support with proactive/assertive signposting and referrals [via warm transfer], including to urgent support as required.
•	Remain in regular supportive contact with individuals (defined on a case-by-case basis), at least until the inquest.
•	Support through related statutory processes.
•	Able to support the wider determinants of mental health and impact of bereavement; for example, trauma-focused therapy, financial and housing support. This will enable rapid access and appropriate support.
•	Make available guides and resources in a range of different languages and have access to translation services whenever needed.
•	Establish a real time surveillance pathway for the police to make a referral to the service, with contact to be made within 72 hours unless the person opts out of the service.  The provider will produce a monthly report and cross reference the number of deaths with Real Time Sudden Deaths Surveillance coordinator and Mental Health Trust to ensure that no individuals have been missed.
•	Attend forums/multi-agency meetings with broader reaching partnership, including commissioned core mental health services and community asset and real time suicide surveillance forums.
•	The provider has clear lines of accountability within local suicide prevention structures and is integrated/reflected with the wider suicide prevention strategy for that local authority area.
•	The service is aligned to local priorities and actively engages with people with lived experience and partner organisations (e.g., local statutory, voluntary and community organisations) and attends multi-agency forums
•	The service is engaged in promoting awareness of suicide bereavement and the importance of timely support for those impacted or affected by suicide. This will include outreach to local schools and colleges to support students and staff to promote awareness of support offers.
•	Training provision for healthcare professionals
Make links with funeral homes, coroner, family liaison workers, other bereavement providers locally to raise awareness and integrate the service
TUPE is likely to apply.
The contract term will be for 3 years with an optional extension of any period up to 1 year.
The contract value is £61,600.00 per annum giving a contract value of £184,800.00 for the initial contract period and £246,400.00 if the full extension period is adopted.
The new service will commence on the 1st November 2025.

title: Supported Living Framework

description:
The procurement is for a Supported Living Framework contract. The contract will utilise the use of Lots which would cover accommodation based support living, community/outreach and complex/challenging needs.
In line with the Social Care Futures vision of Adult Social Care:
'We all want to live in the place we call home, with the people and things we love, in communities where we look out for each other, doing the things that matter to us.'
 'Supporting the life that matters to you'.
This will be central to the contract as it aims to enable people to live in their own homes with security of tenure if needed or that they can work to live in independent accommodation with support coming to them as needed.
RBC's current vision for Supported Living:
Supporting the Life that Matter to You
•	There is a lack of pathways through supported living services, and therefore we would aim for at least a third of people to move through supported living onto independent accommodation.  Where supported living is likely to be long term, clear plans are in place to continue development and engagement in long term services
Suitable Accommodation
•	Introduction of accommodation standards to ensure individuals have access to good quality accommodation that meets a person needs.
Collaboration
•	Good quality providers that are person focused, imaginative, support co-production and willing to try new ways of working.
Healthy
•	A market that promotes and supports good physical and mental health.
Stable staffing
•	Well-trained consistent staff that can meet service users' needs even if they change. On average we received 100 new supported living referrals, therefore staff levels need to be sufficient to manage the demand in addition to any packages already held. Staff should share our supported living vision and be enthused to work collaboratively with RBC to deliver efficient care and strive to achieve personal outcomes and goals with individuals.
To help Reading achieve the vision, the new contract will focus on outcome based Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), introduction of accommodation standards, pathways through the service, the use of technology enabled care (TEC) to promote independence, and trialling new innovative ways of working.

The current RAP was procured by UKB in 2020 and was developed by DNAnexus, in collaboration with, and cloud infrastructure provided by, Amazon Web Services.
UKB intends to initiate a procurement exercise for the development of a new RAP ("RAP2.0") and associated services to take account of advances in technology over the past 5 years and its future requirements.  The RAP2.0 is anticipated to be the default way that most researchers will access and analyse UKB's biomedical database and it is anticipated to comprise one or more software platforms or data analysis services that work together to meet the diverse functional needs to the research community.
UKB currently intends to undertake separate procurements in relation to (i) the RAP2.0, (ii) cloud infrastructure, and (iii) automated airlock software to control extraction of data held by UKB for research purposes, whilst ensuring the ongoing security and confidentiality of the data.  UKB has established an informatics working group consisting of senior experts who will provide guidance to help develop the requirements for the technology listed at (i) - (iii) above.
It is currently envisaged that the first procurement to be undertaken will relate to the cloud infrastructure (in late 2025/early 2026), followed by the procurement of the RAP2.0 in 2026. The procurement of the airlock software may be conducted in parallel to, or follow sequentially, (i) and/or (ii).
This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice relates to the proposed procurement of cloud infrastructure as the enabling foundation of the platform ecosystem for RAP2.0.  Separate Preliminary Market Engagement Notices are being published for RAP2.0 and airlock software.
