Although an extensive list, highlights include 7 cameras, 9 specialist lenses, 4 professional broadcast microphones, broadcast teleprompter system, studio lighting setup, and auxiliary items including batteries, tripods and storage cases.
A procurement process for this contract was initiated in January 2025. Procurement officials attempted to obtain quotes from the WG ICT End User supplier, but the required items were not available. Officials also approached the existing AV services contract, but they confirmed that this was out of scope of the contract for WG.
Three quotes were then sought and each supplier was given the same kit list and instruction that we needed the contract to be fulfilled with delivery before end of March. Following evaluation, this supplier was selected to fulfil the requirements.

procurementMethodDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodRationale:
MDI require 384-well automated patch-clamping with the following features:
1.	Ability to patch in fluoride free solutions. This is critical as the channels we work on are affected by fluoride.
2.	The ability to patch lysosomes. This is critical as we are investigating lysosomal channels and need to be able to patch them in their native membrane environment.
3.	The ability to perfuse internal solutions during measurements. Critical to characterising channel function.
4.	Is compatible with our existing Nanion port-a-patch and Patchliner devices to ensure consistency and allow protocols to be transferred between devices.
5.	The ability to change to protocol on the fly for assay development.
This equipment must adhere to the above criteria (including compatibility with existing equipment). Alternatives have been researched, however have been deemed incompatible. The only other high throughput electrophysiology system available is noted to be incompatible with MDI requirements.
In addition to this, the supplier has a patent relating to the equipment, this being EP 1 775 586 81.

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
Regulation 32(2)(b) of the PCR enables the award of a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication where the services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator where competition is absent for technical reasons but only in the case where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
The service has carried out market due diligence and Market Engagement to assess existing supplier capabilities in relation to the provision of a web-based Whole Life Carbon review platform for local authorities.  From the submissions received, officers are satisfied  it has been confirmed that no provider other than Preoptima is currently able to provide a fully developed, functional web-based WLC review platform that meets the council’s needs.
Preoptima holds a registered patent for the Control Model underpinning its platform. Its fully functional and tested generative design model to review building material quantities and carbon emission, allows for element and material level checks to be carried out against a generative control model. This exceeds "document comparison" level reviews.
It is to be noted that the council are applying PCR 2015 and not PA 2023 regulations due to the engagement with Prepotima and the publication of a notice under Regulation 40 of PCR 2015 prior to 24/02/25. In addition, funding for this project ceases at the end of the month.

title: Residual Waste Management Contract Extension (VEAT Notification)

description:
This is not a new contract opportunity, but rather a VEAT notice to inform the market that the contracting authorities are seeking to extend their existing contract for the treatment and disposal of residual waste with Suez Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd which was originally awarded in 1995 and  is due to expire on 31 March 2026.
The extension period will be for a minimum of two years (terminating on 31 March 2028) and for a maximum of five years (with a long stop expiry date of 31 March 2031).  The minor amendments are to: (i) acknowledge the anticipated legislative changes in respect of extension of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme to waste incineration; and (ii) address the reduction in tonnage likely to result from the implementation of weekly segregated food waste collections pursuant to the Separation of Waste (England) Regulations 2024.
The contracting authorities are currently in procurement (alongside three other local authorities) for a longer term contractor to Design, Build, Finance and Operate an energy recovery facility for the treatment and disposal of this waste. This limited contract extension with minor amendments will provide flexibility for the contracting authorities and ensure continuity of service provision for the treatment of non-recycled waste until such time as the successful contractor takes responsibility for the management of the waste under the new longer term contract.

description: Tees Valley

region: UKC

description: The contracting authorities are not awarding a new contract.  This VEAT notice is in respect of a proposed modification to extend and make minor amendments to the existing contract for the treatment and disposal of household and other waste.  See sections II.2.4 and IV.1.1 for further details.

description: Non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal services

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale: This VEAT notice relates to a modification to the contract originally awarded in 1995 following a competitive award process.  The contracting authority considers that the modification is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as a modification which is not substantial.  The proposed extension and minor amendment of the contract is based otherwise on substantively the existing terms and conditions and does not render the contract materially different in character, change the economic balance of the contract or considerably extend its scope.  The contracting authorities do not consider that if the contract had originally been advertised to include this extension and minor amendment that it would have attracted any different participants or candidates or that the outcome of the original procurement would have been any different.

The Test of Change will be delivered by a dedicated team who would work alongside hospital staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to identify individuals who are medically fit to be discharged but require a period of recovery, assessment and enablement in their own home environment.  The level of need of these individuals would normally indicate that they would require a care home environment.  On discharge the service will provide an intensive, targeted period of support and assessment at home, including wrap around 24/7 support where required. The service will have an enablement focus and include an assessment of a person’s ability to live at home and the level of ongoing support required to enable this.

Timeline: It is expected that work on developing the project and recruiting staff will commence immediately following the appointment of a provider.  Service delivery should begin within at least the next three months.
The maximum budget for Year 1, including set up costs and assuming service delivery at 500 hours per week would be 800,000GBP.  This would be subject to change should the number of hours delivered increase.
The key elements of the service will be:
-	The service will be registered with the Care Inspectorate.
-	Support will be delivered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as required.
-	A physical presence in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to support close working with hospital staff, patients and families.
-	Provision of a care at home service for a targeted short period of time, which may include 24/7 support.  Activities undertaken will include assessment and support planning, personal care, medication administration, support with daily living activities and signposting/supported referrals to other health and social care, statutory or community services as required.
- An enablement focus designed to develop the independence of the supported person.
-	Support delivered will be continuously reviewed against the supported person’s identified goals and will dynamically change on a visit-by-visit basis as required.
-	Assistive technology will be used as required
-	Liaison with Social Work teams to support the arrangement of ongoing packages of care as assessed.
-	A staff team which will include:
-	A dedicated Registered Manager who will have responsibility for overall management and development of the service
-	Team Leaders/Senior staff
-	Support Workers who will deliver support in line with support plans.
All staff will have the appropriate qualifications, training and SSSC registration.
-	The provision of monitoring reports as required, attendance at regular monitoring meetings, and involvement in evaluation of the test of change at key points. Additional information: Please provide a proposal for the development and delivery of a Discharge to Assess Test of Change.  The proposal must include:
-	Timeline for the development of the service
-	Proposal for recruitment of staff within required timescale

The arrangements are a land deal and do not amount to a public works contract or a works concession contract for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the PCR), the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (the CCR) or the Procurement Act 2023 (the Act). Additional information: The Trust identified the Operator following a competitive process, which was carried out outside the PCR, CCR and Act, which provided market operators within the sector with the opportunity to submit proposals to be granted a lease of the Site that would permit operation of a nursery.

The Trust proposes to enter into the Heads of Terms, followed by an Agreement for Lease in respect of the Site. The Agreement for Lease will contain break rights in favour of the Trust in the event that the Operator opts not to exercise its right to develop a nursery at the Site. Where the Operator chooses to exercise its rights to develop a nursery at the Site, the Trust will grant a Lease of the Site to the Operator following completion of the relevant works. The Operator is under no obligation to undertake development at the Site. No public contract arises due to a lack of enforceable obligation.

The Lease will contain tenant covenants which limit the permitted use of the Site to nursery facilities and requirements to ensure that any buildings are constructed and maintained in line with statutory requirements and that any nursery services are carried out in line with statutory requirements and in a way that does not obstruct the wider operation of the Hospital. These obligations are consistent with the grant of a lease to permit development and operation of facilities on a live hospital site. The Trust is not specifying requirements for the nursery if constructed, or providing any guarantee that staff will use the nursery’s services if constructed and there is no enforceable obligation on the Operator to deliver the nursery.

As such, no public contract or concession contract arises under the PCR, CCR or Procurement Act.
The Trust will not enter into any contract or agreement with [Bright Horizons] before the expiry of the 10 day standstill period following publication of this notice.

streetAddress: Via the ATAMIS e-Tendering portal.

description:
Provision of an ED (Emergency Dept) Primary Care  Streaming service on behalf of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Competitive Process.

A significant proportion of self-attending patients present to the Emergency Departments (ED) at UHB with conditions that are able to manage within primary care.

Where same day radiology imaging is felt to be required, access to plain film imaging is available, any other modality would be via discussion with the ED consultant.

• review patients across the full age spectrum.

• not be expected to see patients presenting with an injury.

• be able to refer as per in the primary care to any receiving specialty using standard referral into Trust processes.

description:
The original development agreement involved the Council granting a short-term building lease followed by the grant of a long lease of 250 years on completion. The Greater London Authority (GLA) now requires schemes involving GLA funding for housing for sale, including shared ownership housing to be leased for at least 990 years. This change was introduced in November 2021, after the Council had entered into the development agreement. The varied scheme would grant the 990-year lease to the developer up-front in place of the short-term building lease.
The number of residential units to be delivered by the scheme will be varied to increase from 320 to 387 and the number of affordable units varied from 120 to 387 (i.e. the residential element of the scheme will be entirely affordable housing).
The original structure involved a short-term build lease with the longer lease granted on golden brick for the site with affordable units and granted on practical completion for the sites with private units. The varied structure would transfer the freehold interest in the sites to the developer once the units have achieved golden brick stage.
The varied scheme will retain forfeiture provisions in the lease to enable the Council to terminate if the development agreement is terminated because the conditions have not been satisfied by the longstop date or because the developer materially breaches the development agreement so that it is terminated prior to the “golden brick” stage. There will be restrictions in the lease controlling permitted development on the site. The Council has therefore retained similar controls over the development to replace the short-term building lease of the affordable units.
Additional works are now required to be delivered by the developer to relocate high voltage cables detected on the site. This complication also increases the cost of relocating the gas pipe required under the original scheme. The estimated cost of additional and revised utilities works is £4.79m which the developer intends to finance through GLA grants.
The Council would have received a guaranteed land payment under the original scheme on the commercial basis of the developer receiving a profit on cost of 14.5%. This payment was to reimburse land assembly costs of £2.5m plus a land value. The overage provision in the original scheme was 55 / 45 in favor of the Council on sales overage above a £ per sq. ft. threshold.
However, it has become necessary to adjust this considering inflationary build costs pressures and regulatory changes following the passing of the Building Safety Act into law, to maintain the scheme’s viability. The varied scheme will reduce the developer’s profit on cost to 11.7% and remove the guaranteed receipt. Half of any additional profit will be shared by the developer with the Council up to a cap of £2.5m plus the cost of borrowing incurred by the Council to assemble the required land.

title: Lea Bridge Station Sites - Developer Partner

description:
The London Borough of Waltham Forest (“the Council”) commenced a procurement through Contract Notice 2019/S 070-165593 to appoint a development partner in relation to three sites adjacent to Lea Bridge Station in order to facilitate the delivery of a high-quality, residential-led mixed-use development; new station entrance and an improved public realm.
The development partner was originally expected to deliver in the range of 300-320 homes and a minimum of 3000 sq. m. of commercial cultural spaces and 750 sq. m. of public space. The original opportunity also required the development partner to construct a new entrance to the railway station as part of the scheme. Please see the Contract Notice for further details.
The Council entered the development agreement with London Square Developments Limited on 17 March 2021 and now intends to vary the scheme for the reasons detailed in this voluntary transparency notice.

description: Construction work

procurementMethodRationale:
The Council considers that the proposed modifications to the development agreement and scheme structure fall within the permitted modification grounds set out in Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (or alternatively the corresponding principles in Section 43 of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016).
The Council considers that the proposed changes in the commercial structure of the scheme are not substantial and therefore permitted under Regulation 72(1)(e).  The commercial structure of the scheme includes the increase and variation to the residential units to affordable units; the restructuring of the land arrangements to a 990-year lease (whilst retaining forfeiture mechanisms, and as per the GLA funding requirements) with subsequent freehold transfer on golden brick; and also the revisions to the land payment, profits and overage provisions.
The character of the scheme in terms of a developer-led housing development on Council land is maintained and the Council does not consider that it is likely that had these changes been part of the original procurement that different candidates or tenders would have resulted nor that it would have attracted additional participants to the original procurement. The change from a market-sale product to an all-affordable product and the change in leasing structure are the result of changes to GLA grant funding and regulatory changes which would have affected any bidder. Bids led by affordable housing providers were invited during the original procurement. The modification of land payments is a proportionate adjustment to the commercial terms of the scheme reflecting the significant reduction in expected profit that the developer is expecting to make compared with their bid. The character of the development being able to support land payments once an agreed minimum return to the developer is reached is maintained by these changes.
The Council considers that the additional and varied works arising from the utilities diversions now required are permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b) in that it would be economically and technically challenging for this to be provided by any contractor other than the developer. These works are statutory diversion works in connection with the works to be carried out under the original procurement. Tendering the works for another contractor would cause duplication of cost to the authority. These works would not result in any increased cost to the Council under the development agreement, as it will be funded by GLA grants.
