Preliminary Market Engagement for National Measurement System Programmes 2026-2030
Background Information:
The National Measurement System (NMS) is the UK’s infrastructure of laboratories and capabilities that deliver world-class measurement science and provide accurate, precise, and traceable measurements that underpin research, innovation, and trade.
The NMS enables the UK to compete in global trade and manufacturing by ensuring consistency and recognition of measurement units and standards throughout the world. Internationally-leading knowledge and expertise is passed on to UK stakeholders by a coordinated programme of knowledge transfer.
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) supports the NMS because of the substantial impact it has on every aspect of UK life and its economic success. DSIT does so by funding science programmes delivered by the UK’s National Metrology Institute, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and other nationally designated metrology institutes.
The science programmes are focused across a range of sectors and technology areas, including:
•	Advanced manufacturing, including power electronics, metamaterials, semiconductors, and mass, dimensional, and temperature measurements.
Current projects include:
o	Providing and maintaining the UK’s national primary standards for temperature, humidity, mass, force, and length.
o	Establishing metrology capabilities to test and evaluate new semiconductor materials.
•	Digital, including communications and time and electromagnetic measurements.
Current projects include:
o	Research to maintain the UK’s world-class optical frequency metrology and influence the international redefinition of the SI second.
o	Maintaining and delivering SI-traceable realisations of electrical, magnetic, and optical units.
o	Developing data science capabilities and tools to improve end-users’ confidence in their use of metrology data and AI systems.
•	Life sciences and health, including radiation dosimetry, bioimaging, and engineering biology.
Current projects include:
o	Maintaining and developing the UK’s primary standards for ionising radiation, and providing validation and measurement confidence for radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and associated imaging provided by the NHS and other healthcare providers.
o	Research and development to establish measurement capabilities, SI-traceable phantom materials, uncertainty assessments, and guidance for quantitative imaging in PET, SPECT, MRI and ultrasound.
•	Energy and environment, including gas composition and fluxes, and metrology for clean technology.
Current projects include:
o	Maintaining and developing the UK’s primary standards for gas composition and aerosol measurements.
o	Developing measurement procedures and reference materials for the measurement of environmental DNA (eDNA).
•	Quantum, including quantum sensing, computing, and timing and navigation.
Current projects include:
o	Developing test and evaluation capabilities for security assurance of commercially available quantum communications products such as Quantum Key Distribution systems and Quantum Random Number Generator devices.
o	Providing metrology, testing, and benchmarking for UK industry in the development of the next generation of quantum sensors for magnetometry and imaging, including their applications in health care and critical infrastructure.
•	Chemical and biological metrology, including purity measurements, organic analysis, and isotope ratios.
Current projects include:
o	Maintaining and delivering accredited, SI-traceable calibration and reference materials for purity determination.
o	Developing and validating measurement methods to quantify particle additives in regulated consumer products and accidental food and environmental pollutants.
•	Flow measurement, including gas flow and metrology for alternative fuels.
Current projects include:
o	Providing and maintaining the UK’s primary standards for the flow of oil, water, gas, CO2, and Hydrogen.
o	Research to investigate and develop new primary standards for high-pressure, high-flow-rate gas flows.
•	Gears metrology.
Current projects include:
o	Providing and maintaining the UK’s primary standards for the measurement and characterisation of gears.
These programmes are currently provided via contracted services for DSIT by:
•	The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK’s National Metrology Institute;
•	The National Measurement Laboratory at LGC (formerly the Laboratory of the Government Chemist), the UK’s designated institute for chemical and biological measurement;
•	TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, the UK’s designated institute for flow measurement;
•	The National Gear Metrology Laboratory, the UK’s designated institute for gear measurement.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to better understand the market for fundamental metrology capabilities in the UK ahead of the current contracts expiring on 1st April 2026, and assess whether any of the DSIT NMS programmes could be delivered, in whole or in part, by alternative providers.
Service Description:
The aims of these programmes are to:
1)	Ensure that industry, researchers, regulators, and other users in the UK can reliably, accurately, and precisely measure, test, calibrate, and validate their products, services, and processes, as necessary to support, for example, trade, scientific research, the development of innovative technologies, environmental monitoring and protection, and public health.
2)	Directly support innovation by helping businesses to overcome measurement and analytical problems, and bringing more businesses, researchers, and other stakeholders to the technological frontier through consultancy and training services.
The services involved in delivering these programmes may include, across all sector and technology areas set out above:
•	Developing and maintaining, to the highest accuracy, precision, and traceability, the UK’s fundamental measurement standards in a given area. The accuracy and uncertainty of these standards must be evidenced through, for example, the highest standards of accreditation. This will involve applied research and the development, validation and documentation of measurement protocols, instrumentation, reference materials, and reference data, and will involve collaboration with partners as appropriate.
•	Collaborating with standards bodies, regulators, and other stakeholders to develop and advise on technical standards, regulatory frameworks, and testing and calibration methodologies to support technological development.
•	Horizon-scanning and engagement with stakeholders (including industry, researchers, and the government) to identify, and develop the capabilities required to meet, new measurement needs.
•	Collaborating with national metrology institutes and designated institutes in other countries on joint research and development projects.
•	Knowledge transfer and support for industry, researchers, and other stakeholders through collaboration with businesses, publication of research, training, and consultancy services. This work will leverage the expertise developed through the development and maintenance of the fundamental measurement standards.

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham
population. This contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the
Provider Selection Regime.
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not
restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the
contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be
delivered by this group of providers (GP) is because they are required to hold a contract via
the GP Framework and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to
enhance the GP Framework contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency
between the two services is paramount.
The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract award is from
01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026. This is an existing service from an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme

The Authority has a requirement for a bridging contract to ensure continuity of essential services as we migrate to new arrangements.
HMRC has awarded a 3-year contract to Fujitsu Services Ltd to provide hosting and associated services for the CESA application utilising Fujitsu's proprietary Modern VME Environment. The CESA application administers the collection of Income Tax for all taxpayers under Self-Assessment.
As CESA is Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), HMRC requires the secure and uninterrupted delivery of support to the application and considers the award of the new contract to be the only option for ensuring delivery of CESA until the migration to new arrangements.  A programme has been set up to migrate the CESA application before this contract expires.

title: Hosting provision for the Computerised Environment for Self-Assessment (CESA)

description: Computer-related services

procurementMethodRationale:
As negotiations commenced prior to 24 February 2025, and the coming into force of The Procurement Act 2023, they are governed by The Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The MVE (Modern VME Environment) is proprietary to Fujitsu and so MVE based services are technically only available from Fujitsu and are not available in the market from alternative service providers.
Due to the complex functionality and significant nature of the CESA application, the extensive testing required (particularly in respect of this application being Critical National Infrastructure) and the lengthy transition periods needed given the volume of users of the application, no alternative solution would realistically be ready for use before HMRC's requirement came to an end.

SNBTS collects approximately 160,000 blood and tissue donations each year, these are tested at the Jack Copland Centre in Edinburgh within the Manufacturing Department of SNBTS.  The Manufacturing Department performs a wide range of testing services; these include the large-scale serological screening of blood and tissue donations for microbiological markers such as HBsAg, HCV, HIV and Syphilis. Discretionary testing of HTLV, HBc and CMV. There is also a requirement for smaller scale screening for malaria antibodies on selected donations.
SNBTS also requires a solution to allow archiving of samples.
After testing, the whole of the remaining PPT tube is archived.  Hard copy of the result data is also retained for thirty (30) years.  The electronic copy of the raw test data is maintained in archive databases and retained indefinitely.  SNBTS is currently using “Item Tracker” (archiving database). The Supplier MUST provide a solution for creating appropriate plate maps for integration into “Item Tracker” in such a way that the sample is later retrievable.
During the course of the contract SNBTS may look to introduce additional testing/protocols into the contract.  This would be in relation to the introduction of any new mandatory/discretionary markers.  This would be fully discussed with the successful Supplier and SNBTS would expect the Supplier to provide options for inclusion in the contract.
Future Potential Impacts
SNBTS in line with other Blood Authorities will be starting to collect plasma for medicines (PFM) since the option to fractionate UK plasma has opened again.
PFM is expected to be 5 year phased implementation with minimal impact in the early years of the contract. (Up to 10% increase). SNBTS will update and work with the successful supplier or bidders where information is available throughout the process where known. Beyond 5 years there is likely to be a larger increase that will increase the contract.
Additional QC testing may be required as an impact of implementation of plasma for medicines.  Dependant on the volume of testing SNBTS may wish to cease outsourcing of Total protein testing and source a suitable platform for use within SNBTS.  Figures for this have yet to be defined however SNBTS would like to enter discussions to see if operationally it is viable to bring this in house.  It is expected that this would be able to be accommodated with a modification of any contract put in place due to the estimated value of this testing.

Market engagement for RM6378 began in March 24, starting firstly at an event on 7th March 24 with incumbent suppliers, with a retrospective analysis of the existing agreements and exploration of merging the current FM and Security frameworks into one single agreement.
Following issue of the PIN for a merged FM and Security Services agreement, between August and November 2024 engagement covering a multitude of areas, including the main themes of: Framework length and type, Lotting structure, Services in scope, Specification and standards, Pricing, Contract performance management (KPIs), Social value, and T&Cs. This was through questionnaires and surveys to our list of registered suppliers consisting of those that responded to the PIN, and 121 meetings with all suppliers who requested a session.
We published webinar updates for both suppliers and customers to our webpage in September and December 2024.
Between January and May 25 this engagement has been focussed on some specific areas including: Specification, Pricing, Terms and Conditions, KPI / performance management and Social Value. This has been through sharing questionnaires and draft documentation (such as draft specification Work Packages), and receiving feedback.  There has also been a roundtable meeting focussing on billable works on 8th April 25, with invitations shared to all registered suppliers.
Next steps - Pre ITT engagement
A face to face supplier event in Liverpool will be held on the 1st July 2025. The format of the day will include an opportunity to engage further with suppliers through presenting the findings of our engagement and the subsequent decisions taken to develop the framework. We also intend to include an overview of the bid process to familiarise suppliers with the process and any changes following the introduction of the new Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers will then be given the opportunity to ask questions. Notification has been provided to all suppliers who registered under the previous PIN, with places allocated on a first come first served basis, and there is now limited space. As places are low, once fully booked, further interested suppliers will be included on a reserve list.
We will however publish recorded presentations onto the CCS webpage for suppliers that are unable to attend. Interested suppliers should contact rm6378@crowncommercial.gov.uk.
COI
If the participant is in any situation which might (or which might be perceived to) give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with the procurement, CCS may make further enquiries to identify any such conflict or to satisfy itself that none exists, or that it can be effectively managed. CCS may require the participant to provide such further information as CCS might specify for any such purpose or may require the participant to withdraw from the preliminary market engagement if, in CCS’s reasonable opinion and at its sole discretion, any of the above issues have arisen or may arise and there are no other means to ensure the equal treatment of all potential suppliers. Prior to requiring any such withdrawal, CCS shall provide the participant in question with the opportunity to prove that its capacity as a participant is not capable of distorting competition.
Further Pre - ITT engagement
Further webinars will potentially be held on specific topics in order to share information in advance of ITT.
We encourage interested suppliers who have not done so already to register their interest in the RM6378 procurement by emailing rm6378@crowncommercial.gov.uk
Please review the CCS RM6378 webpage below for further updates as we progress with the process.

This is a notice seeking early engagement from interested parties in relation to the Department for Education Top Apprenticeship Employer rankings 2026 and 2027.
Please note that all references to procedure, value and term length are purely illustrative and subject to change.
The Top Apprenticeship Employers rankings form an integral part of a three-point employer and stakeholder celebration strategy (alongside National Apprenticeship Week and National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards), to ensure a continual drumbeat of celebratory activity throughout the calendar year. The rankings, now in their fourth year, support wider government and departmental priorities for upskilling the nation and increasing the prestige of apprenticeships. The Top Apprenticeship Employers helps develop a recognition and resonance with employers and students of apprenticeships. This helps support access and progression and helps to increase consideration of skills across all audiences and influencers.
The key objectives of the Top Apprenticeship Employers rankings are to:
•	Celebrate and promote outstanding apprenticeship employers, through significant high-profile publicity of the rankings and listed employers.
•	Encourage employers more widely to improve the quality of their apprentice offer, through feedback, best practice sharing and case studies.
•	Help potential apprentices and parents easily find high performing employers offering apprenticeships, through employer publicity, improved relationships with careers advisors, Careers and Enterprise Company and Amazing Apprenticeships.
The DfE is seeking to engage parties who are interested in bidding to deliver Top Apprenticeship Employer Rankings for 2026 and 2027.
