The contract is drafted to suit projects where the work involved is simple in character, the work is designed by or on behalf of the Trust as the Employer, and an Estates Contract Administrator is to administer the conditions.

Features of projects using the Minor Works Building Contract:

The Trust as the Employer is responsible for the design, and this is usually supplied to the Contractor by the architect or design team working on the Employer’s behalf. If the appointed Contractor is to be responsible for designing specific parts of the works, then a Minor Works Building Contract with Contractor’s design must be used.

The Trust as the Employer (through its advisers) will also need to provide drawings, a specification, or work schedules to specify the quantity and quality of work at tender stage. When using the Minor Works Building Contract with Contractor’s design, the employer must also detail the requirements for the parts of the works that the Contractor is to be responsible for designing.

The requirement covers the whole of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

description:
Through this Engagement, DHSC and NHSE aim to provide further information to, and gather views from, organisations that are currently supplying Obesity Medicines to the UK, or that have Obesity Medicines in development for which a marketing authorisation for use in the UK is likely to be sought within the next three years.

The subject matter of this Engagement has been categorised as "Supplies" to reflect that, via this Engagement, NHSE and DHSC are seeking to shape and inform their strategic thinking prior to any future testing of new models of care, and/or potential future rollout(s) of Obesity Medicines. However, please note that there is currently no planned procurement activity relating to the publication of this notice. Future preliminary market engagement notices and/or PIN(s) may be issued by DHSC and/or NHSE to gather views through market engagement on specific proposals.

For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this PIN is to invite suppliers to express their interest in collaborating with DHSC and NHSE to improve the delivery and supply of Obesity Medicines in the UK. Since this is neither a call for competition nor a procurement, we have assigned it a nominal monetary value of £1. Additional information: The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (“DHSC / the Department”) and NHS England (“NHSE”) (for the purposes of this notice acting through the Office for Life Sciences ("OLS”), a joint unit of DHSC and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (“DSIT”)) is conducting this engagement (“Engagement”).

New medicines that can be used for managing obesity (“Obesity Medicines”) are an effective tool, to support some people living with obesity to lose weight, when prescribed alongside diet, physical activity and behavioural support. However, given the likely scale of patients who may be eligible for medicines in the pipeline, there is a need to explore delivery models and inform future NHS care pathways. In support of the Government’s missions to build an NHS fit for the future and to kickstart economic growth, as well as to progress the Life Sciences Plan, NHSE and DHSC are seeking to shape and inform their strategic thinking prior to any future testing of new models of care, and/or potential future rollout(s) of Obesity Medicines. (However, please note that there is currently no planned procurement activity relating to the publication of this Prior Information Notice (PIN). Future preliminary market engagement notices and/or PIN(s) may be issued by DHSC and/or NHSE to gather views through market engagement (“Engagement”) on specific proposals.)

This initial Engagement, via OLS, seeks to explore ways to build the evidence base to safely enable access to Obesity Medicines for more people who meet the relevant eligibility criteria, and explore interest from industry to partner with HMG to achieve this, through collaboration and investment.
Through this Engagement OLS aim to provide further information and gather views from organisations who meet the following eligibility criteria: organisations who are currently marketing Obesity Medicines in the UK or who have Obesity Medicines in development for which a marketing authorisation for use in the UK is likely to be sought within the next three years (“Eligibility Criteria”).

To this end, OLS is inviting organisations to contribute their views to this Engagement (“provide a Response / be Respondents’’). OLS is offering the opportunity for Respondents to complete an on-line Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”) and attend a (one-to-one) online meeting with OLS to discuss safely enabling access for eligible patients to Obesity Medicines ("Engagement Meeting(s)"). Please note that it is not necessary to attend an Engagement Meeting to provide us with your views as we will be taking equal account of views expressed via the Questionnaire and views expressed in Engagement Meetings.

Specifically, OLS would like to discuss in respect of Obesity Medicines:
• development pipeline(s) for future Obesity Medicines;
• the key implementation challenges you expect to enable access to eligible patients and any research and development (R&D) ideas that would be required to address these;
• your perspective on the future UK market demand for Obesity Medicines; and
• the potential for future R&D and/or manufacturing investments in the UK

It is OLS’s intention to hold Engagement Meetings between Wednesday 18th September and Friday 27th September 2024. Whilst time slots will be allocated on a ‘first come first served basis’, OLS will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that an Engagement Meeting is held with all Respondents who express an interest in meeting within this timeframe.

All Respondents will be asked to complete the Questionnaire which can be accessed via the Atamis portal. (Additional documents can be submitted by Respondents as part of their Response.) If a Respondent intends to provide confidential information in their Response, the Department will consider entering into a non-disclosure agreement modelled on a template from His Majesty’s Government.

The Department may contact Respondents via Atamis and/or during the Engagement Meeting to clarify any information within their Response.
Individual survey responses will not be shared outside of DHSC, DSIT, NHSE, the Department for Business and Trade, and His Majesty’s Treasury.

title: Lot 1 - Cruise Services

description:
INTRODUCTION
The successful operator will be required to provide a range of services to the cruise calls that arrive at the Port throughout the year, which are either a tourist or turnaround call.  These calls usually arrive at dawn and depart at dusk.  The service requirements per cruise ship differ, this is usually due to the type of call and number of passengers.
SUMMARY SCOPE
The services are requested directly by the cruise line and/or its agents and could involve one or more of the following:
•	Baggage handling
•	Passenger assistance
•	Marshalling
•	Ship stores
•	Handling of waste
The operator will be required to provide and maintain the relevant equipment needed to execute the services. The operator may be required to provide these services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days of the year, dependent on the cruise schedule.
On an ad hoc basis, the operator may also be requested to carry out operations such as forklift operations and traffic marshalling for the Port.  These service requirements delivered directly for the Port who will subsequently pay the operator directly.
CONTRACTING & PAYMENT MODEL
These services are to be delivered via a concession type model as, other than for relatively minor ad-hoc servicers provided directly to the port, the operator will engage directly with cruise operators to deliver services requirements. The operator will receive payment directly from the cruise operators, or their local agent, in line with rates agreed with the port.
The successful operator will be required to honour the hourly rates submitted within their tender response for services provided to both cruise operators, their agent representatives and, on occasion, to the port.
These rates may only be varied by agreement with the council in line with the provisions set out within the contract terms.
CONTRACT AWARD, DURATION & OPTIONS
The Council is targeting to have awarded the contract by 23rd January 2025 to allow for mobilisation and commencement of services on 1st June 2025. The contract will run for an initial base term of 4 years. The contract may be extended by a further 6 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE & DEMAND
The per annum value of the contract is based upon current levels of demand that is estimated to be between £250,000 - £350,000 exclusive of VAT. Demand for the services will be determined by the cruise schedule and the requirements of each cruise call.  The associated contract value will be determined by the demand and the agreed rates between the operator and the Port.  It is anticipated that the cruise calls will vary year on year and may vary dynamically within a particular year.
It should be noted that the value of the contract may be subject to significant increases should the Port significantly expand its cruise offer over the term of the agreement. Conversely, values could also significantly decrease should the level of cruise activity at the Port decrease over the term.
Whilst the operator will benefit from the status of being the Port's endorsed supplier for the delivery of cruise services at the Port, the Council cannot provide any further on-going guarantees in respect of cruise operator take up, associated service demand levels and associated contract value. The Council will also not guarantee any underwriting of losses in the event that demand for services significantly reduces.
INFLATION
The value of the contract will also be impacted by inflationary increases which the Council has modelled at 2% year on year against the upper per annum value estimate in order to calculate the total value figure required for the Find a Tender Service Contract Notice.
However, it should be noted that inflation estimates are non-binding and impose no upper or lower contract value variation caps.
The contract includes for annual uplift review in line with relevant indices of CPI and relevant change of law impacts. Any increases will not be automatic, will require provision of supporting evidence and will be capped at CPI % increase other than for higher increases evidenced due to relevant change of law. Additional information: PROCUREMENT PROCESS & APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Council will undertake the procurement process in accordance with the regulations that apply to the 'Open Procedure' as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
Whilst aspects of the Lot 1 Cruise Services requirements run on a concession type model the Council does not consider that the contract falls under the full definition of a public concession contract under the Concession Contracts Regulations (2016) as:
•	Demand will be driven by the Port establishing arrangements with cruise operators in the first instance, meaning that the operator will have limited ability to significantly influence demand
•	The pricing for services provided to cruise operators will be determined at tender and may only be varied over the term of the contract with the express agreement of the Council.
•	The Port may also pay the operator directly for ad-hoc services following a standard service contract model.
•	The procurement also includes for the award of a separate contract for Lot 2 Berthing Support Staff which will be let on a standard service contract model.
The Council's position therefore is that the procurement procedure and management of the resulting contracts falls under the scope of the Public Contract Regulations (2015) as opposed to falling under the scope of the Concession Contracts Regulations (2016).

title: Lot 2 - Berthing Support Staff

description:
INTRODUCTION
The successful operator will be required to provide berthing support staff to supplement the Port's own directly employed quay assistants to cover direct labour staff absence and / or peaks in demand for berthing services.
SUMMARY SCOPE
Under the instruction and supervision of the Port's Berthing Master, the operator's support staff may be required to undertake the following services:
•	Mooring and un-mooring of a vessel when they arrive and depart the Port
•	Linkspan and gangway watches
•	Configuring linkspan structures and gangways to accommodate the vessel's requirements
•	A variety of external cleaning services cross the Port's external grounds
These services are normally carried out between 0530 and midnight which is when the vessels usually arrive and depart between, though occasionally due to late sailings and ad-hoc requirements, for example, there may be a requirement between midnight and 0530.
The operator may be required to provide the support staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days of the year.  The Port will provide the operator with a forecast of requirements seven days in advance and will confirm final requirements by midday the day before the services are required.
CONTRACTING & PAYMENT MODEL
These services are delivered via a standard service contract model with all requirements delivered directly for the Port who will subsequently pay the operator directly.
The successful operator will be required to honour the hourly rates submitted within their tender response for services provided to both cruise operators, their agent representatives and, on occasion, to the port.
These rates may only be varied by agreement with the council in line with the provisions set out within the contract terms.
CONTRACT AWARD, DURATION & OPTIONS
The Council is targeting to have awarded the contract by 23rd January 2025 to allow for mobilisation and commencement of services on 1st June 2025. The contract will run for an initial base term of 4 years. The contract may be extended by a further 6 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE & DEMAND
The per annum value of the contract based upon current levels of demand that is estimated to be between £130,000 - £250,000 exclusive of VAT. The value may be subject to significant reductions or increases over the term of the contract dependents upon both demand levels and any changes to the Port's workforce strategy.
The Council can only provide a broad non-binding range for the value of the contract as the Port cannot accurately predict:
•	When the operator will be required to provide support staff to cover it's own staff absences
and / or
•	When there will be peaks in demand for berthing services that will require the operator to provide support staff to supplement the Port's existing direct labour force
Whilst the operator will benefit from being the Port's preferred supplier for delivery of supplementary berthing support staff at the Port, the Council cannot provide any further on-going guarantees in respect of service demand levels and associated contract value.
The Council will also not guarantee any underwriting of losses in the event that demand for services significantly reduces.
INFLATION
The value of the contract will also be impacted by inflationary increases which the Council has modelled at 2% year on year against the upper per annum value estimate on order to calculate the total value figure required for the Find a Tender Service Contract Notice.
However, it should be noted that inflation estimates are non-binding and impose no upper or lower contract value variation caps.
The contract includes for annual uplift review in line with relevant indices of CPI and relevant change of law impacts. Any increases will not be automatic, will require provision of supporting evidence and will be capped at CPI % increase other than for higher increases evidenced due to relevant change of law.

title: Lot 3 - Combined Award (Cruise Services & Berthing Support Staff)

description: The contracts will run for an initial base term of 4 years. The contracts may be extended by a further 6 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.

description:
A single operator would be required to provide the requirements for both services in full (Lot 1 and Lot 2).  Due to the differences between the services and contacting models, the operator and the Council would still enter into separate contracts for each of the services.
In order to ensure that quality of service is not compromised the Council will only make a combined award for both services via Lot 3 in the following circumstances:
•	The preferred bidder for each of the separate lots (Lot 1 and Lot 2) is the same as for the combined lot (Lot 3) and the combined lot offer is equal to or improves upon those of the separate lot offers in terms of quality and/or cost
•	The preferred bidder for the combined lot (Lot 3) is different to the preferred bidder for one or more of the separate Lots
AND
1)	provides a financial saving compared to the overall cost of awarding to the preferred bidder for the separate lots
AND
2)	the preferred bidder for the combined lot (Lot 3) has achieved a quality score of which is equal to or higher than that achieved by EACH of the preferred bidders for the separate lots Additional information: PROCUREMENT PROCESS & APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Council will undertake the procurement process in accordance with the regulations that apply to the 'Open Procedure' as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
