reviewDetails:
The Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period following electronic notification (minimum of 15 calendar days for any other means of communication) to unsuccessful applicants of the award decision.

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Environment Agency are modifying the description of Lot 1 to remove the erroneous restriction on contracts above £1m and to correct the application of the £1m limit to apply to discrete awards of work.<br/>The ambition is to create bundles of works to drive more efficient delivery and provide greater value for money. This was communicated to the market during the procurement of the framework through the Bidder Pack and through an ITT clarification.

description: The Environment Agency are changing the description of Lot 1 Civil Engineering in the Framework Schedules and Deed to remove the reference to ‘Contracts <£1m’ and replace this with the following wording ‘This Lot is for awards of work up to £1m. However, for contracting and delivery efficiencies the Client may bundle together separate works that would have been delivered through multiple discrete contracts up to £1m into one contract with a value of over £1m.’

Whilst the Framework was developed primarily for the Environment Agency, it can also be used by Others.

Others are:
-Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and its associated bodies including any Agencies and non-departmental public bodies and others. A full list of the Defra Group can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations
-Local Authorities in England. Details can be found here: https://www.local.gov.uk/our-support/guidance-and-resources/communications-support/digital-councils/social-media/go-further/a-z-councils-online

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is considering future options for the development of Assured alternative Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) technologies through the Alternative Navigation (Alt Nav) Project - Assessment Phase (AP).
The purpose of this PIN is to:
•	Make industry aware of an Industry Day happening at MOD Abbey Wood on 1st March 2024.
•	Introduce the Alt Nav Assessment Phase to industry;
•	Communicate the Authority’s market engagement approach and plans;
•	Get feedback from interested parties on proposed technologies and any alternative technologies available; and how industry, through one ‘Systems House’ can support the Space DT in achieving its Project Aims.
An industry brief will be taking place in Abbey Wood, Bristol on Friday 01 March 2024, where the Authority will provide further details of the technologies currently identified as detailed below and the additional requirements for ongoing support from what is referred to as a ‘Systems House’ with initial scope detailed within the Project Aims.  Industry will have the opportunity to provide questions and comments before, during, and after the industry brief (via email).
The Industry Day will be split into two sessions to allow focus on the different elements of the Project as follows-:
1. Technology Development (See attached RFI)
2. ‘Systems House’ (See attached RFI)
Interested parties are asked to complete these by Friday 23 Feb 24 to capture appropriate feedback for the Industry Day.

This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
An award under urgent circumstance was necessary due to the need for NHSBT to make urgent changes to increase the supply of corneal tissue.  A delay in the award of this contract would likely result in continued tissue shortage and resulting excess patient waits for access to potentially sight saving surgery. This urgent circumstance award means that investment plans can be built in to a contract for the required increase corneal tissue supply and that the required financial adjustments could be made within ICB allocations.
The contract length is greater than 12 months  as the requirement to increase corneal supply extends beyond a year given the lead in time to establish the eye retrieval services and current clinical demand / donated tissue supply.  The contract also facilitates national strategic planning between NHS England and NHSBT for the provision of corneal tissue.
The decision was approved on 26th March 2024 by the Delegated Commissioning Group (DCG). No conflicts of interest were identified.
