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

procurementMethodRationale:
No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement. This procurement is required as an interim arrangement to ensure continued maintenance, support and licensing for 4 Clinical Information Systems currently provided by Philips Electronics UK Ltd under a Managed Equipment Services Contract which is scheduled to end 30/09/2023. These systems are essential for service delivery and continuity of patient care. The 4 Clinical Information Systems are: Picture Archiving and Communications System/Radiology Information System (PACS/RIS), Cardiology Clinical Information System, Theatre Management System, Clinical Information System for Critical Care. These systems will be replaced by new regional systems, i.e. NIPACS+ Project and ENCOMPASS. This is an interim arrangement that is required until NIPACS+ and ENCOMPASS are operational in Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
The wider market was consulted when ENCOMPASS was procured, the contract for which was awarded in May 2020, and when NIPACS+ was procured, the contract for which was awarded in July 2022. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement

description:
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (”the customer”) has a potential requirement for the provision of “Construction Products Testing”.
The Secretary of State for the Department for Business and Trade (“DBT”) is the contracting authority responsible for meeting this anticipated requirement on behalf of the Customer. DBT intends to publish the Contract Notice week commencing 15th May 2023.
The full specification shall be provided with the tender documents, but it is expected to incorporate the testing of a variety of construction products to assess their fire safety, structural and thermal efficiency classifications.
The testing requirements will be broken down into four lots each covering a variety of construction products and test procedures. These lots are as follows:
Lot 1 – Insulation and Cladding – Testing will be used to verify the reaction to fire classifications and thermal efficiency of a range of products used both internally and externally as wall linings, pipe insulation, roofing and flooring. This will be done using the following standards and the relevant normative references contained within:
BS EN 13501-1:2018
BS EN 13501-5:2016
BS EN 12667:2001
Lot 2 – Electrical Cables – Testing will be used to verify the reaction to fire classifications of a range of products including power, control and communication cables. This will be done using the following standards and the relevant normative references contained within:
BS EN 13501-6:2018
Lot 3 – Plywood & Wood Based Materials – Testing will be used to verify the reaction to fire classifications and the structural/mechanical properties of a range of plywood and wood-based products for both internal and external use. This will be done using the following standards and the relevant normative references contained within:
BS EN 13501-1:2018
BS EN 13986:2004+A1:2015
Lot 4 – Smoke Control Dampers and Fire Dampers - Testing will be used to verify the resistance to fire classifications and the structural/mechanical properties of a range of smoke control and fire damper products. This will be done using the following standards and the relevant normative references contained within:
BS EN 13501-4:2016
BS EN 13501-3+A1:2009
It is anticipated the framework shall be for a period of 12 months.. The requirement has an estimated total value of £810,000 (exc-VAT). Each lot has the following estimated value:
Lot 1- £200,000
Lot 2- £150,000
Lot 3- £160,000
Lot 4- £300,000
Each lot will operate on a call-off basis. DBT reserves the right to not spend the full framework amount if it is not required.
Suppliers are also to be aware that DBT is seeking to implement a framework agreement for future wider construction product testing requirements.This is likely to include Reaction & Resistance to Fire Testing, Mechanical & Structural Testing, Energy Efficiency & Net Zero Testing and Chemical & Electrical Testing. To inform this, Market Engagement will be undertaken and a further contract notice will be imminently published with details on how to take part in this.
Should this future framework be launched prior to the end of this notice’s framework, then all testing requirements will be delivered via the future framework agreement. We expect the Market Engagement for the future requirements to take place in June / July 2023, ahead of a tender process beginning in September / October 2023, though these dates are indicative at this stage.

The successful Contractor will be responsible for designing and building a c.650m2 new-build facility for The Pirbright Institute, c.465m2 of functional space on the ground floor and c.185m2 of plant space on the first floor. The design of the facility will include biocontainment (ACDP CL2/SAPO2/GMO2), BREEAM: Very Good,. cleanrooms (up to ISO7), good manufacturing practice (GMP), net-zero carbon and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). The project team are currently developing the RIBA Stage 2 design in conjunction with the end-user requirements. The project team is as follows:-
• Project Manager - Currie and Brown
• Cost Manager - Turner and Townsend
• Multi-Disciplinary Design Consultant / CMT - Scitech
The purpose of this notice is to establish interest within the market that will help inform a number of strategic decisions to be adopted.  It is currently considered by the project team that a D&B single-stage 'open to market' or 'framework' tender offers the quickest route to completion whilst still meeting the competition requirements set out by the Employer, based on this principle, it is anticipated that the RIBA stage 3 information would be released to the tendering contractors in November 2023 with an 8-week tender period - this is subject to contractor's interest. The Contractor would tender the works on an RIBA Stage 3 design which will form part of the contract documentation, the Contractor as part of their contractual obligations shall further develop the design making design submissions post-contract for approval by the Project Manager and the compliance monitoring team. Please note, a 'draft' stage 2 architectural design for review is available on request but is subject to the completion of the non-disclosure agreement.
The contract suite proposed is NEC4, whilst this option is yet to be confirmed and may change, the expectation is that it will be Option A with 'Z Clauses' that will be included in 'draft' as part of the tender documentation. The 'desired' completion date is March 2025, but it is established we are currently running behind programme and we are trying to find ways the overrun can be mitigated, we would very much appreciate your view on a construction period using the draft stage 2 design as part of this exercise. At this point, a planning consultant has been engaged but the project is still subject to a planning submission and approval - the Contractor would be responsible for discharging residual planning conditions as required. The Contractor shall also be responsible for discharging residual BREEAM conditions (will be included within tender pack) and taking on the net-zero carbon philosophy received to completion.
To consolidate our requirements, we kindly request your view on the following matters within this PIN as a minimum:-
•	Confirmation that you're interested in tendering for the works using a single stage tendering strategy.
•	Confirmation that you're interested in tendering for the works using a two-stage tendering strategy.
•	Your view on probable construction period using the draft architectural stage 2 information and details contained within this notice. You are not required to submit a programme, but this would be well-received.
•	Confirmation that you have experience and are proficient in the use of NEC3 or NEC4, specifically Option A.
•	Do you have experience in these type of facilities, case-study is not required but project name, cleanroom standards, size and value. More information will be requested / scored as part of the tender.
•	Confirmation that you'd still be interested in an 'open to market' tender, the use of a framework is subject to the PIN response i.e., if there is a singular framework that could accommodate all.
•	Any reservations / comments on the 'draft' architectural information or details contained within this notice.
•	What could we consider to make the scheme more desirable to you as a potential tendering contractor?
By completing the related questionnaire see 11.2.14. Additional information. Furthermore, if you have other pertinent points then we would welcome your feedback for consideration at this early stage.
Please respond to the above by email only to procurement@pirbrightinnovations.co.uk. Additional information: Draft design information and the Pirbright CVIM - F01 Prior Information Notice Questionnaire are available on request subject to the completion of a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, which can be obtained on request from procurement@pirbrightinnovations.co.uk

A joint initiative between the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will see the creation of a new centre at The Pirbright Institute designed to accelerate the development of animal vaccines to combat emerging and urgent infectious diseases.
The consequences of livestock disease can be catastrophic. As well as posing a very real risk to global food security and international trade, livestock disease also presents a significant threat to global human health due to its pandemic potential.
While the UK remains a world-leader in the early-stage development of vaccines for both human and veterinary medicine, globally we need to strengthen our collective capacity to translate scientific discoveries into solutions for the most challenging veterinary infectious diseases.
The new Centre for Veterinary Vaccine Innovation and Manufacturing (CVIM) will bridge the gaps between research and expertise in process development and manufacturing while strengthening the UK's own emergency response capacity and capability.  It will bring about tangible health and economic benefits by focussing on diseases prevalent in low- and middle-income countries.

This is an advertisement for soft market testing to gauge market interest which will influence future commissioning and procurement direction.

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) are looking to seek expressions of interest and feedback from suitably qualified and experienced Providers on their proposed service specification for Adult Hearing Services covering the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

The aim of the service is to provide a comprehensive, personalised service for adults over 50 years of age with hearing loss in line with national guidance and local requirements.

The vision for people with age related hearing problems is for them to receive high quality, efficient services delivered closer to home, with short waiting times and high responsiveness to the needs of local communities, free at the point of access.

Key principles of the hearing service are:
• Contribute to improving the awareness of the importance of good hearing health on wider wellbeing, physical and mental health.
• To provide personalised care, which meets each individual where they are at and provides people with choice and control over how they choose to manage their hearing and communication needs.
• To comply with national clinical and good practice guidance.
• To be accessible to residents of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
• To provide an efficient service for people with hearing loss, that is also cost-effective.
• Equitable access to consistent and high-quality care for all patients using the service.
• To provide a safe hearing service for patients that demonstrates robust quality assurance processes.

It is anticipated that any future Contract would be for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The ICB may award multiple Contracts across the geographic area of Herefordshire and Worcestershire to cater for the needs of the entire geographic area. NHS Standard Terms and Conditions would apply.

Any Provider wishing to express interest should complete the questionnaire, which can be found at https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday 06th June 2023.

The ICB intends to publish the Contract Notice for this requirement around Tuesday 20th June 2023. Please note those expressing interest will still be required to register for any future procurement and should not rely on their response to this EOI.

University of Exeter are aiming to establish an online longitudinal cohort survey of approximately 10,000 adults in England, running for three years from 2023-2026, to track people’s environmental attitudes, behaviours, health, and wellbeing, allowing us to determine whether these are changing, particularly for people with high exposure to biodiversity renewal. This will provide insights beyond the cross-sectional changes that are measured by Natural England's People and Nature Survey, and will be one of the first attempts to track individual environmental attitudes and how they respond to change through time.
Our minimum target sample is 10,000 people, aged 18+, living within England, and representing a range of socio-demographics. However, we want to attain as large a sample as possible, and are interested in hearing from applicants the maximum sample that they can achieve with the budget.
The successful Supplier will need to recruit Participants in the first year. In the two subsequent years, the same participants will be invited to complete a repeat survey. Those who do not repeat the survey will be replaced to ensure the same number of respondents each year, as far as possible maintaining the same overall demographics of the sample and the same proportions of urban/rural participants.
We are seeking to establish a contract with a single supplier to perform the survey activities over a three (3) year fixed period. Additional information: Attached as document

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Trust refers to its response at VII.2.1 above.
The first condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is that the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is satisfied in respect of this modification as the need for modification has been brought about by external circumstances, being the referred DoH NI direction, which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen when the Trust awarded these contracts back in 2016.
The second condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii) is that the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Here the service, being a domiciliary care service, is unchanged. As such, the modification does not alter the overall nature of the Contract and therefore satisfies Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii).

description:
The Health Minister made an announcement on 24th November 2021 that additional funding for pressures on service provision within the Independent Domiciliary Care sector (“Additional Funding”) would be available for the current financial year for the domiciliary care sector. Following this announcement, the Department of Health Northern Ireland (“DoH NI”) made a direction in respect of this Additional Funding.
The direction from the DoH NI stated:- “The overarching principles of this additional funding is to ensure that Independent Sector providers deliver significant improvements in the pay, and terms and conditions for staff across the sector. This has been emphasised to the sector representatives who have committed to ensuring that the uplift in funding will be utilised to stabilise and increase capacity across the sector. It is also the Department’s expectation that Trusts will work proactively with the sector to maximise capacity within areas of greatest need in terms of step-down and discharge from hospitals, waiting lists and unmet need. The Department will also continue to engage with the sector to drive these changes.”
The Trust issued a letter dated 22nd December 2021 to all current Providers to vary the Contract to increase Providers’ Hourly Rates to £18.00 per hour from 1st November 2021 until 31st March 2022 in accordance with the above noted direction of the DoH NI. The DoH NI further directed as follows: (1) that the Additional Funding referred to above of £18.00 per hour continue to be paid for the financial year 2022/2023; and (2) that the hourly rate of £18.00 referred to above should be further increased to £18.08 per hour to reflect the increase in the 2022/23 Employers National Insurance Contribution rate to ensure that the ability of Providers to improve the terms and conditions for their staff is not diminished with the implementation of the statutory increase in Employers National Insurance Contribution rates. The Trust is bound by statute to comply with directions of the DoH NI and as such to make payment as directed of an increased Hourly Rate of £18.08 to its current domiciliary care providers for the period from 1st April 2022 until 31st March 2023. In compliance with this statutory obligation to comply with the DoH NI direction, the Trust therefore issued a letter dated 23 February 2023 to all current Providers to vary the Contract in respect of this direction. The Trust refers also to its responses below at VII.2.2 and VII.2.3.

description: Continued from VII.2.2.The final condition of this ground under Regulation 72(c)(iii) is met in that the increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original Contract. The increase in price for lot 1 is £1,045,224 and the value of the original Contracts for Lot 1 is £14,000,000.
