1. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity in relation to the Local Authorities’ requirements for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of a proposed regional wood reprocessing facility at the Silent Valley waste management site near Ebbw Vale in Blaenau Gwent.
 2. The wider site is currently used for waste treatment and recycling activities, and has a weighbridge, excellent transport and drainage infrastructure and is already in possession of various waste management consents, which will assist the development and delivery of the planned c.30,000 tpa wood reprocessing facility.
 3. A partnership has been proposed that will comprise a group of local authorities in Wales who will provide waste wood “feedstock” to the facility from their respective civic amenity sites. The host Authority Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council have developed the concept design for the facility and will now procure and obtain the necessary planning and environmental permits.
 4. The partnership is keen to explore the commercial viability of outsourcing the O&M of the facility over a term of up to 10 years, as opposed to the option of delivering the operations “in-house” as a public sector partnership.
 5. The partnership will deliver a facility that will incorporate an [80m x 20m] steel framed processing hall, compliant with all fire and operating permit regulations for waste wood reprocessing plants. The facility will also include, inter-alia, several (external) storage bays, a new 1.5MW power supply and a sustainable drainage solution.
 6. The outsourced O&M scope may indicatively consist of the following services:
 - Day-to-day processing of the waste wood feedstock into a specification wood chip suitable for panel board.
 - Operation of a process-line configuration of plant and machinery;
 - Manning the picking station (to extract contaminants from the feedstock).
 - Responsibility for meeting required Performance Outputs.
 - Responsibility for meeting prescribed Quality thresholds.
 - Responsibility for the management of all Health and Safety aspects.
 - Management of Site personnel.
 - Traffic Management and vehicle loading/unloading operations.
 - Procurement of Fuel and other consumables to operate the plant and equipment.
 - Responsibility for managing the Environmental Permit and Fire Prevention Plan Permits;
 - Interface management with adjacent permit holder(s) on the site at Silent Valley.
 - Responsible for maintaining a high quality recycling performance;
 7. The overall objective is to create a modern and environmentally sustainable wood reprocessing facility that will contribute towards the net zero carbon agenda.
 8. The Partnership supports early engagement of the supply chain and to consult with the market prior to commencement of the procurement.

Neurodisability is an umbrella term for conditions associated with impairment involving the nervous system and includes conditions such as Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Acquired brain injury (ABI). Children and Young People with a Neurodisability have a range of impairments but many have complex and continuing need and as a result are frequent users of the health service at all levels, community, primary care inpatient and outpatient settings.
 Acquired brain injury (ABI) is injury to the brain caused by an identifiable event such as trauma, hypoxia, metabolic disorders or infection. The effects of an ABI on children can vary greatly and will depend on the part of the brain that suffered the damage and the amount of damage caused. The effects can range from mild to severe and may include changes in a child or young person’s physical ability, cognitive skills, personality, behaviour and how they communicate.
 Therapeutic intervention for this group of service users is delivered by Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language therapists in conjunction with the Child or Young Person and their family using a multidisciplinary team around the child approach in order to meet patient goals and optimise outcomes.

title: Apprenticeships Commissioning Programme Wales Framework Agreement

description:
Whilst we are slowly emerging from the impact of COVID-19 there is a recognised economic need to support individuals into education, employment or training during the current financial year.
 The Welsh Government are extending the Apprenticeship Employer Incentive Scheme to 31 March 2022 and extending the EIS for disabled apprentices until 31 March 2023, and we are also increasing the financial incentive from GBP 1,500 to GBP 2,000 from 1 April 2022. We believe there is a need for targeted support to address employer concerns over employing a disabled person. We have achieved a year-on-year increase in apprenticeship starts but our expectation was that these increases would be reversed during the COVID pandemic. However, the introduction of the Employer Incentive Payment for disabled people has been a significant factor to maintaining this increase in disabled apprenticeship starts, which have grown to over 9%. Whilst the labour market is now improving it is expected that following the pandemic numbers of disabled people seeking employment will rise and we therefore need to continue to offer EIS support to employers in order to help them continue to provide opportunities for disabled apprentices. We will strictly monitor the uptake of the programme. We will also reserve the right to suspend AEIS payments if it appears that demand is at risk of exceeding the available budget.
 The AEIS payment supports the commitment to continue developing a culture where recruiting an apprentice becomes the norm for employers in addition to recognising the need to make apprenticeships a credible alternative to the academic route for young people.
 In recognition of the administrative burden placed on lead providers in managing the Apprentice Employer Incentive payment process and collating relevant evidence to support payments, we will award providers an administration fee for each learner recruited under this incentive programme. This fee is set at GBP 100 (inclusive of VAT) per learner and will be payable in full once the learner has been employed for 4 weeks.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Noting the limited duration and value of the AEIS, ACP providers are best placed to deliver the Scheme for technical reasons given the relevant systems and information on employers and apprentices they have in place, to ensure the efficacy of the scheme. Appointing alternative providers would result in an unnecessary duplication of costs including (1) setting up separate EIS administration systems, such as, data sharing agreements with the ACP providers to obtain details of the relevant employers and apprentices; and (2) significant liaison with the ACP providers to confirm details pertinent to each apprentice including confirming each learner has started their apprenticeship, and that the apprentice is employed within 14 weeks from start of their apprenticeship to ensure the AEIS payments are paid in a timely manner. The payment to the provider of GBP 100 per apprentice would not be satisfactory recompense to warrant establishing a separate framework of providers for the AEIS.

description:
The Welsh Government has extended the financial incentives to encourage employers to recruit apprentices until 31 March 2022 and extending the EIS for disabled apprentices until 31 March 2023, and we are also increasing the financial incentive from GBP 1,500 to GBP 2,000 from 1 April 2022 (or earlier if budgets are exhausted). If the Welsh economy is to emerge from the COVID pandemic stronger and more productive than before, both individuals and businesses will need support to navigate the crisis. We believe that the AEIS is crucial in supporting employers who have been negatively impacted in the Welsh labour market.
 Providers contracted under the ACP framework will be able to claim a management fee in recognition of the additional administration needed. Providers will receive a payment of GBP 100 per apprentice supported via the AEIS.

The funding has a tight expenditure deadline (31st July 2022), so we have published this tender before the funding decision. As such, the tender award will be subject to funding award.
 The Department of Biomedical Engineering develops synthetic experimental systems to assess the efficacy of medical devices and implants. Target applications involve studying the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The interaction of the fluid and solid tissue structure is of great importance to understand the mechanics of that system in health and disease. High-fidelity computational modelling frameworks already exist within the Department. This contract hopes to acquire hardware to enable fluid-structure interaction (FSI) measurements to be performed, to help validate such computational models. Expertise and hardware already exist for non-contact optical techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC), particle image velocimetry (PIV) at low speeds and high-frame rates. However, this contract aims to purchase an all-in-one integrated FSI system to couple DIC and PIV – delivering FSI analysis in one platform.
 An FSI non-contact optical measurement system, capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry, or stereo-DIC and stereo-PIV is sought. A 4-camera system will suffice for most applications in mind. A system that can also make use of our existing high-speed camera equipment is highly desirable (2x Photron Nova S6).
 Delivery will need to be to the Service Yard at Bay Campus, Swansea University, ideally by the 31st July 2022.
 A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) non-contact optical measurement system, capable of volumetric particle image velocimetry, or stereo-digital image correlation (DIC) and stereo-particle image velocimetry (PIV). A 4-camera system is envisaged to suffice for this specification. The application area is Biomedical Engineering, so track-record for delivery in this sector is highly desired. The focus of this FSI system is to visualise internal flows but adaptability for internal and external flow measurements is a mandatory requirement. A fixed system for one application will not pass the evaluation.
 Note: two Photron Nova S6 cameras are already owned by the Department and can be considered usable in the configuration options offered in addition to the standalone system requested. However, a standalone system for FSI or volumetric PIV is the mandatory requirement.

Welsh Government requires the development and delivery of regional tourism communication plans, to support Welsh Government’s efforts to promote Wales globally to influential B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (B2C) markets.
 Successful communications rely, in part, on relationships built with trusted partners and stakeholders within destinations and regions. Visit Wales recognises that this work can be undertaken as supplementary to the mainstream communications, online and offline, that the proposed contractors already have in place e.g. industry news, training facilitation, events, webinars, etc.
 The stakeholders to benefit from the communication plan are described below:
 - Suppliers, including accommodation, attractions, tours, experiences and events need a way to connect their product seamlessly with a diverse range of channels.
 - Distributors, for example, Online Travel Agencies such as Expedia and offline international tour operators such as Authentic Vacations. They need access to real-time pricing and availability, alongside content generated by local experts and supported by data.
 - Destination Marketing Organisations, who need a platform that will support their efforts to digitally enable local businesses to reach new audiences and gain a clear view of market insights.
 - Consumers, in particular, both domestic and international travellers interested in visiting Wales. They need to simply discover and pre-book great travel ideas and itineraries across Wales resulting from a more effective business-to-business platform offering improved product distribution.
 The solution will require:
 - A good understanding / experience of the tourism industry, the different regions of Wales and the Destination Management Organisations and other membership organisations within those regions, which support tourism across Wales.
 - A good understanding / experience of delivering tourism destination plans. A good understanding / experience of negotiating different priorities to meet regional objectives across Wales.
 - A good understanding / experience of collaborating with both Private and Public sectors including each of the local authorities’ priorities for tourism and ability to effectively engage stakeholders.
 - A good understanding /experience of the existing tourism industry marketing opportunities available through Welsh Government’s Visit Wales team to improve economic benefits to the regions.
 The project deliverables would include:
 - A one-off communication delivery plan;
 - A suite of deliverable and measurable KPIs for engagement and education of available platforms/opportunities through Welsh Government;
 - Regular reporting mechanisms available for the client.
 The successful contractor should also take into account;
 - How existing regional plans can form part of a wider pan Wales communication plan.
 - Identify skills needs required as a “train the trainer” approach to delivery of the plan.
 - The suite of bilingual assets required for educational purposes with methods to implement
 Whereas successful suppliers will need to develop the most appropriate bank of educational assets required for their region, there will be a suite of training and educational materials made available at a national level on award, including virtual educational content from leading experts of the platforms, desk instructions and best practice case studies, as part of the educational toolkits.

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), in Collaboration with the Respiratory Health Implementation Group and the acting lead Authority Cardiff and Vale University Health Board are undertaking a procurement on behalf of Local Health Boards in Wales to procure bespoke licensing to a system that will integrate the existing hardware located across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP).
 Currently there is no integration between lung function results and WCP, so these results are not available when patients are seen in clinic. This inevitably results in repeat testing which is wasteful and low value.
 Almost all lung function departments in Wales have independently purchased equipment from the same provider (Vyaire), who have a software system called Sentrysuite which can be configured to meet the NHS Wales Standards for Ordering and Reporting integration with the NHS Wales National Architecture. Having one system for Wales that meets these standards will improve information governance and data sharing, standardisation of test reports and data monitoring.
 Due to the compatibility reasons between the hardware and software no other provider would be able to support this integration.

Aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the procurement rules have the right to take action in the High Court (England and Wales).

procurementMethodRationale: There is a clinical need to integrate the current lung function results across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal. Due to existing Vyaire hardware investment across all the Health Boards there is no provider with the capability to deliver a financially viable solution that will operate together with the existing technical infrastructure. Due to compatibility reasons Vyaire are deemed the only provider with the technical ability to meet the needs to NHS Wales.

Welsh Government requires the development and delivery of regional tourism communication plans, to support Welsh Government’s efforts to promote Wales globally to influential B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (B2C) markets.
 Successful communications rely, in part, on relationships built with trusted partners and stakeholders within destinations and regions. Visit Wales recognises that this work can be undertaken as supplementary to the mainstream communications, online and offline, that the proposed contractors already have in place e.g. industry news, training facilitation, events, webinars, etc.
 The stakeholders to benefit from the communication plan are described below:
 - Suppliers, including accommodation, attractions, tours, experiences and events need a way to connect their product seamlessly with a diverse range of channels.
 - Distributors, for example, Online Travel Agencies such as Expedia and offline international tour operators such as Authentic Vacations. They need access to real-time pricing and availability, alongside content generated by local experts and supported by data.
 - Destination Marketing Organisations, who need a platform that will support their efforts to digitally enable local businesses to reach new audiences and gain a clear view of market insights.
 - Consumers, in particular, both domestic and international travellers interested in visiting Wales. They need to simply discover and pre-book great travel ideas and itineraries across Wales resulting from a more effective business-to-business platform offering improved product distribution.
 The solution will require:
 - A good understanding / experience of the tourism industry, the different regions of Wales and the Destination Management Organisations and other membership organisations within those regions, which support tourism across Wales.
 - A good understanding / experience of delivering tourism destination plans. A good understanding / experience of negotiating different priorities to meet regional objectives across Wales.
 - A good understanding / experience of collaborating with both Private and Public sectors including each of the local authorities’ priorities for tourism and ability to effectively engage stakeholders.
 - A good understanding /experience of the existing tourism industry marketing opportunities available through Welsh Government’s Visit Wales team to improve economic benefits to the regions.
 The project deliverables would include:
 - A one-off communication delivery plan;
 - A suite of deliverable and measurable KPIs for engagement and education of available platforms/opportunities through Welsh Government;
 - Regular reporting mechanisms available for the client.
 The successful contractor should also take into account;
 - How existing regional plans can form part of a wider pan Wales communication plan.
 - Identify skills needs required as a “train the trainer” approach to delivery of the plan.
 - The suite of bilingual assets required for educational purposes with methods to implement
 Whereas successful suppliers will need to develop the most appropriate bank of educational assets required for their region, there will be a suite of training and educational materials made available at a national level on award, including virtual educational content from leading experts of the platforms, desk instructions and best practice case studies, as part of the educational toolkits.

title: Priority Habitat Management Pilot

description:
Welsh Government have commissioned a project to deliver and manage an environmental land-management based pilot research project. The pilot is targeted at specific grassland priority grassland habitat types that are under threat. These are listed as ‘of principal importance to Wales’ at Section 7 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016: Unimproved Lowland Neutral Grassland. The aim of the pilot is to bring this priority grassland habitat into optimum condition over the next five years.
 The pilot will be utilising newly-designed outcome based methodology to assess habitat condition in ecological terms and reward participants accordingly (Results-based Agricultural Payment Scheme (RBAPS). This methodology and newly developed technical assessment process has been specifically designed and developed by RSK ADAS Ltd. This novel outcome based methodology approach is different to current conventional land-management schemes that pay farmers to deliver specific prescriptions on an income forgone principle.
 The outcome of the project is to support the Section 6 of the Environment Act (public authorities’ duty to maintain & enhance biodiversity & resilience of ecosystems) & inform development of our post-Brexit farming support mechanism: Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), by Land Management Reform Unit. One of the key actions proposed in the new SFS is support for management of priority habitats, and this pilot project can provide a baseline mechanism for delivery of that action. The results will also make a contribution to support the Programme for Government “creating a new system of farm support that will maximize the protected power of nature through farming”.
