title: Clinical Immunology diagnostics service

description:
The Clinical Immunology Service (CIS) provides a comprehensive Clinical Immunology diagnostics service to the West Midlands, regional services in lymphoma/leukaemia diagnosis and national services for neuro-immunology and myeloma testing.  Being situated within the University of Birmingham (UoB), the CIS also provides central trials analysis for a number of national and local research studies and has a strong track record in immunodiagnostic development. The CIS is the anchor tenant for the Precision Health Technologies Accelerator (PHTA) Home - PHTA Ltd, hosted within the Birmingham Health Innovation Campus (BHIC) Birmingham Health Innovation Campus - Birmingham Health Partners. This ambitious new development will leverage the existing Birmingham Health Partners ecosystem to drive innovation and economic growth.
The CIS has built a nationally leading reputation based on our foundations of quality and delivery and has the expertise, reputation, and networks to progress towards being a global leader in diagnostic development, translation and testing. This supports UoB's ambition to become a global top 50 University and contributes towards the success of the PHTA and BHIC.
To ensure the CIS not only remains able to deliver and maintain current business and workload, but also to ensure it can sustain delivery during the move to the PHTA and deliver the anticipated growth in the future, we need to continually update our equipment and methods to ensure improved efficiency, quality and capabilities.
The CIS is a UKAS ISO15189 accredited laboratory offering comprehensive blood cancer, autoimmunity, neuroimmunology, immunodeficiency and allergy diagnostic services to local and national NHS services.  Additionally, the CIS hosts the Midlands Integrated Reporting for Haemato-oncology (MIRHO), a blood cancer diagnostic service, providing blood cancer flow cytometry to the whole of West Midlands; this is an area of ensured increased growth as new therapies are commenced and survival improves for blood cancer patients.
To support the growth and development of this service we need to update our serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation/isoelectric focussing instrumentation to improve our efficiency and resilience. Our plan is to replace our existing Sebia Capillarys 2 with a Capillarys 3 Octa and to add an additional Hydrasys focussing system to provide additional capacity, a back-up instrument in case of down time and the ability to run isoelectric focussing gel for oligoclonal band analysis in multiple sclerosis and beta 2 transferrin detection in patients with cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

procurementMethod: direct

procurementMethodDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodRationale:
•	Our aim is to replace our existing Sebia Capillarys 2 with a Capillarys 3 Octa and to add an additional Hydrasys focussing system to provide additional capacity, a back-up instrument in case of down time and the ability to run isoelectric focussing gel for oligoclonal band analysis in multiple sclerosis and beta 2 transferrin detection in patients with cerebrospinal fluid leaks.  This will also allow us to consolidate maintenance costs and maximise efficiency through integration of multiple platforms through the same interface to our laboratory information management system (LIMS).
•	We currently use Sebia instrumentation and reagents/kits for all of our electrophoresis and immunofixation work.  This has been in place for at least 15 years and in order to maintain consistency of results to both clinical and myeloma trial patients, who have been monitored during this period, we need to continue using the same supplier.
•	All of the tests that we currently run on these platforms are included in our UKAS ISO15189:2022 accredited scope.  To change supplier would involve significant cost and time in re-validation/verification of these tests which would impact on our ability to provide an ongoing, reliable clinical service.

reviewDetails:
This authority incorporated the required standstill period at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 87) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within 30 days of the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the court considers that there is good reason for extending that period (up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge). If the contract has been entered into the court may award damages and in the case of specified breaches of the rules may also order the termination or shortening of the contract and the levying of fines. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above was to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract was entered into.

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: 1.	Given that the FAS contract was entered into in September 2023 and the FAS suppliers have just completed a lengthy hand over period prior to commencing operational services commencement in September 2024, it would not have been possible to appoint a new supplier to deal with the additional services outlined in this modification notice, as the new supplier would not have had the benefit of the handover period.
2.	Appointing a new supplier to address the additional services would have also led to a significant duplication of costs, particularly as during the handover period, the Department was paying incumbent suppliers to deliver the assessment services.
3.	There would be interchangeability issues with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services. A change in supplier without the lengthy handover period and a transition to the new managed IT System would risk the delivery of the services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable claimants

description:
This notice is in relation to modification of an existing Contract, pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”), and is published for transparency purposes.
The Functional Health Assessments (“FAS”) contracts were signed in September 2023 and included an assessment of supplier capacity as of November 2021 (the launch of the procurement). In the intervening period demand for Personal Independence Payment (“PIP”) assessments has continued to rise whilst the Authority has worked with incumbent suppliers to successfully recruit and retain a higher number of Health Professionals (“HPs”) which has enabled the highest ever volume delivery of PIP assessments. The increased number of HPs helps the Authority better meet the demand for assessments across PIP and Work Capability Assessment (“WCA”) (as well as other benefits), and better protects the delivery of the service. Retention of the HPs into FAS ensured that capacity for assessments will meet the current levels of PIP, WCA and other benefits. Collectively, this helps by reducing the length of a customer's journey and minimises the backlog of claims.
In addition to the increased clinical staffing, there were some changes to supplier costs to reflect IT solution changes to address technical constraints and levels of integration.
Pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the PCR 2015, the Authority has agreed a deed of variation with the FAS supplier to vary the FAS to cover the increased clinical staffing which leads to the provisions of additional services, in addition to the additional costs to reflect the changes to the IT solution to address various technical constraints. The additional services are required to address an increase in the number of FAS assessments over the number initially envisaged during the procurement.

There would be interchangeability issues with existing processes and systems with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services. A change in supplier without the lengthy handover period and a transition to the new managed IT System would risk the delivery of the services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable claimants. The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.

The purpose of the residential is to create a positive environment so that learning will take place through the experiences the young people undertake during the week.  We want a programme where the content is carefully picked so that the 'Team programme & qualification' outcomes are achieved - establishing a Team through Tuckman's Team work model.
The objective is to implement a controlled and organised programme so that the team members will almost certainly work through Tuckman's stages: forming, storming, norming & performing.
By creating a programme that is structured we can create an atmosphere where the hands on teaching, to be a team is initiated at the start of the week - through controlled activities such as orienteering / climbing / and water based activities etc.  As the week continues the leader dependency should gradually withdraw allowing the team to learn through problem solving activities such as the homing and the full day projects.
Throughout the week we expect reviews / reflection time to be implemented so that team members can share their experiences of learning. This can be done by facilitating group discussions.

description: Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust ("MSE") intends to enter into agreement with Compass Contract Services (UK) Ltd t/a Medirest for a two-year contract, with option to extend by up to a further year for the supply of patient and staff meals, including catering equipment maintenance services, at the Southend University Hospital site.

description: Canteen and catering services

procurementMethodRationale:
The Trust relies on the ground set out within Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) (Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Following the formation of the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, the Trust has carried out significant restructuring which has taken time.
The Trust has undertaken an options appraisal and determined that the patient and staff restaurant catering services delivered across the acute hospital sites in Southend, Basildon, and Broomfield, in addition to Braintree Community Hospital need to be market tested for third party provision to deliver value to the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. The timeline for the development of the service specifications, market testing process, and supplier lead in, onboarding and TUPE process is forecast to take approximately 2 years. An option to extend for up to an additional  12 months term will be included though not expected to be exercised.
The Trust requires stability in its catering services, to ensure that this critical service can continue to be delivered with the same personnel and processes in place, until such time as the Trust wide procurement process is undertaken.  The catering services in Southend require immediate capital investment in failing infrastructure by the supplier of approximately £200,000 and a change of catering supplier at this stage, with TUPE implications for in excess of 140 staff, would introduce significant risk, at a time when continuity of services and significant investment is required.  COVID pandemic pressures contributed to delay for re-procurement process. Board approval received 30th August 2024.

Timeline for the further Trust-wide procurement process, running concurrently with the contract extension, delivering new long term contract:

buyerCategories:
The Authority wishes to establish a framework for the use of
all the members of The Library Consortium and other local authorities and future successors to these organisations.
The current members of the TLC can be found using this link https://thelibrariesconsortium.org.uk/
Local authorities, in addition to the current members of the TLC,  who can use the framework (with the agreement of the TLC Board) include;
• Metropolitan districts
• London boroughs  plus the City of London
• Unitary authorities  plus the Isles of Scilly
• County councils
• District councils
A list of all the local authorities in the categories above can be found as a pdf attachment in the Documents section of this notice and also within the tender pack

periodRationale:
The TLC has a proven track record of collaborating with suppliers to enhance its LMS solution and improve customer services.
Implementing a new LMS, developing services with suppliers, and realizing the full benefits of investment-including future customer improvements-is a time-consuming process. A four-year framework restricts the potential for all parties within the TLC, including suppliers and customers, to develop and fully achieve the intended service enhancements.
Furthermore, service improvements within the framework require compatibility and interoperability between different technologies as new opportunities arise. All parties involved in the framework need sufficient time to ensure a return on their financial and other resource investments.
A shorter framework term would also risk disruption to statutory library provision due to the scale and complexity of implementation and transfer of services.

description:
The procurement is being carried by the London Borough of Sutton on behalf of The Library Consortium (TLC).
TLC, was originally formed of three authorities in 2004 who came together to share resources and contracts to get the best value for money for customers and their authorities.
TLC is a consortium of member authorities. It is not a legal entity. Each member authority takes responsibility for contractual arrangements with Suppliers and providers. TLC members become party to the Consortium's Framework(s) and can order (or 'call-off') the goods, works or services covered by the relevant Framework(s). Framework agreements are set up by public sector bodies with Suppliers to provide goods, works or services according to certain requirements - e.g. price, quality and quantity. For TLC, the Framework is arranged centrally by the London Borough of Sutton for use across the Consortium. At the core of the Consortium is the Library Management System, but the Consortium also procures contracts jointly for stock, transport and digital resources, including eBooks.
With 23 local authority members, TLC is one of the largest public library consortia in England, consisting of:
> 8.2 million residents
> 7.3 million items
> 318 libraries
The Authority is looking to put in place a framework with a single supplier for a period of 6 years.
The requirements include:
> Library Management System (LMS) staff functionality - Ease of use, logical
LMS system functionality:
(1) Allows full functionality/interoperability of systems and stock sharing throughout TLC but enables local autonomy (for example: local fees/charges setting) and local authority branding.
(2) A dynamic set of processes that allow full stock sharing and reserving of physical items giving customers an efficient and seamless journey regardless of their main library service provider.
System integrations:
to work seamlessly with any third party provision required by  TLC members (e.g. eStock. Self Access)
Library App
fully functional and innovative Library app which can be customised and branded at a local level
Library Service Platform (Discovery);
(1) Innovative "one-stop" digital platform for customers
(2) Customisable for each TLC member
(3) Satisfies the needs of customers with streamlined access to all library functions and services (events, payments, catalogue searching, account management, etc.)
Analytics:
A completely flexible analytics interface enabling authorities to create and interrogate any facet(s) of library data they choose
Vision:
TLC has a  constant desire to innovate and push the boundaries of public library provision. All products will need to be continually developed in order to remain relevant and innovative to provide the best outcomes for customers and local authorities
Value for money:
Value for money and income generation opportunities remain essential.
