description:
The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts.
Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their
financial strength and stability.
It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer
does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status;
the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which
demonstrates its financial strength/stability.
Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their
audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine
the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.
As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender
response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:
A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;
audited or unaudited (if the company has no legal audit requirement) accounts for any years trading to date, and
letter of support for the bidder’s bank setting out the level of financial support available to the business from the bank and for how long that
is available.
A bank letter of support should explain the amount and duration of financial support made available to the business by the bank and what
information, such as a business plan for the period 01/04/2024 – 31/03/2027, was considered by the bank in deciding to make that support
available. These are matters of fact not opinion so should be able to be given by any bank on the authority of their customer. It must be
understood, however, that the sufficiency or otherwise of the bank letter can only be judged after submission and assessment of all
Questionnaire responses so the provision of as much information as possible is encouraged.
All of this information must be in terms entirely satisfactory to the Purchasing Authority. We reserve the right (but are not obliged) to seek
additional clarification and/or supporting information from or about the bidder to satisfy us in this regard, for example, a bank reference.
Where a Tenderer does not meet the minimum financial requirements in its own right and wishes to rely on the financial standing of a
parent company, Tenderers should provide a statement that they commit to obtaining a parent company guarantee in the form attached in
the Standard Documents Parent Company Guarantee.
Where a consortium bid is received, the Score check score of each consortium member shall be assessed and each must achieve a Score
check score of 35 or above.
Where a sub-contractor material to the performance of the Contract or where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any
contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer may be required to confirm that the sub-contractor(s) has a Score check score of 35
or above The Council reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractor last 3 financial years' audited accounts and details of
significant changes since the last financial year end.

Introduction
London Metropolitan University has a rich history with strong educational roots dating back to 1848. The University, as it is today, was created in 2002 with the merging of London Guildhall University and the University of North London, the first merger between two universities in the UK.
The main university campus is on Holloway Road in the London Borough of Islington. There is an additional campus at Aldgate. Further information about the institution is available at https://www.londonmet.ac.uk/about/.
The University's corporate strategy (2019/20- 2024/25) laid out an exciting plan to consolidate what was already good and build further to create a sector leading transformational institution that was based in, and for, the community.
The physical infrastructure is the foundation of the corporate strategy - and calls for vibrant campuses and cutting-edge facilities. In 2022, the University launched its new Estates Strategy and is the blueprint for achieving these corporate aims.
Strategic Investment & Targets
The University is committed to making large scale investments over the next 10 years to develop our buildings and our physical and digital infrastructure.
These planned investments are designed to:
•	Support the corporate strategy
•	Decarbonise the estate and improve our environment
•	Address the inefficiencies and risks associated with our buildings
•	Support the evolving University by enabling the development of the University's structure and emerging subjects and schools
•	Digitise the campus and users' experience
The strategy will be structured and measured via the following strands:
•	Aspirational targets:
o	building condition
o	functional suitability
o	utilisation
o	look and feel
•	Carbon & environmental management plan
•	Supporting the evolving University
•	Accommodation
•	The digital campus
•	Key performance indicators
The University will put environmental sustainability at the heart of everything that we do. One of our goals is to become carbon net zero by 2030.
Further details can be found at: Estates Strategy 2022-2031 (londonmet.ac.uk)
Strategic Delivery Partner Vision
In order to help us achieve these strategic targets, our current vision is to procure a long-term (circa 10 year) partnership with a main Tier One construction and FM provider who will:
•	Build & deliver capital projects with quality and value through the life of the Estates Strategy
•	Provide strategic build, maintain and operate advice throughout the delivery of the Strategy to optimise operational outcomes and life cycle costs
•	Ensure a best in class transition from construction to operation
•	Lead a total facilities management service with the student experience at the heart of operations
•	Deliver net zero targets through sustainability in all capital projects and TFM services
•	Identify & leverage strategic opportunities in our campus facilities to continuously add value
•	Maximise positive impact on teaching outcomes, school identities & community experience
•	Promote social value and achieve excellence in safety, site operations and campus facilities
Current Projects Procurement and FM Delivery Approaches
London Met has typically procured construction of medium to major projects individually via existing public sector frameworks. Our strategy currently includes a long-term programme of high value projects, with sequencing to be finalised over the next few months. We seek a Tier One partner who can deliver the majority of these projects.
The University procured a new TFM service contractor in 2020 through a competitively tendered OJEU procedure. The contract is approaching the fourth year of its operation, and the University is currently reviewing its future requirements.
This PIN forms part of our developing procurement approach. The University currently anticipates launching a procurement exercise during the summer of 2024 via the Find a Tender Service (FTS) using Competitive Procedure with Negotiation.
Early Market Engagement
London Metropolitan University seeks to engage with the market on:
•	Understanding current supply and economic conditions
•	Outline benchmarking of market approaches to contract delivery and commercial models
•	Exploring the feasibility of our vision, scope and structure of future project and service requirements
This will provide an opportunity for LMU to obtain insight into how potential providers might approach the delivery of the services and works programme in question. It also gives useful early indications into the likely level of interest in any future procurement.
For the avoidance of doubt, this SMT invitation is for the purpose of conducting a early market engagement exercise and does not formally commence - or constitute any commitment by LMU to undertake - any procurement exercise.
Expressions of Interest
To express and interest in this opportunity, and take part in soft market testing, please contact strategic-procurement@londonmet.ac.uk no later than Friday 24th May 2024. Additional information: Please note that timelines, scope, specifications and route to market are subject to change. The information contained in this PIN is preliminary in nature and may be subject to further amendment and revision.

description:
Since the award of the concession, a more hostile macro-economic environment and a growing and urgent need for RPs to address decarbonisation and decency issues resulted in RPs deprioritising delivery of new affordable homes in favour of investment in existing assets. By allowing lower-cost scheme funding to be split between new development (with a minimum of 50% of each loan to be used for this purpose) and decarbonisation and remediation, RPs are now incentivised to carry on developing while simultaneously addressing issues with their existing stock, rather than pausing or significantly cutting back on development. The modifications to the concession agreement were therefore necessary to achieve the scheme's primary objective of providing lower cost debt to enable RPs to develop more homes than they would otherwise have done in circumstances where for both economic and technical reasons as described further below it is not possible to change the concessionaire in order to facilitate the Tranche B lending.
The Department required changes to be made to the Scheme Rules so as to broaden the range of delivery undertakings which may be eligible for funding (referred to as "Scheme Expansion"), to include improvements relating to energy efficiency and housing decency as well as the construction of new-build and additional affordable housing. Those improvements will be facilitated via 'Tranche B' loans (while an amount equal to 'Tranche A' loans must continue to be spent on the delivery of new affordable housing). Changes were also made to the concession agreement to clarify or in some cases modify the current rules of the scheme, to ensure it remains accessible to a broad range of RPs whose business plans incorporate a degree of new development (referred to as "Scheme Acceleration").
As part of the Scheme Expansion and Scheme Acceleration, consequential changes have been made to the concession agreement and programme documentation (as more particularly described in section VII.2.1 below). This included an increase to the Cumulative Guarantee Amount to £6bn and an extension to the application window to April 2026.
In respect of the increase to the Cumulative Guarantee Amount and the extension of the guarantee application period, the concession agreement contained provisions contemplating these particular modifications (clauses 3.1 and 7.2 respectively). To that end, the Department's view was that such modifications are justified on the basis that they are compliant with the requirements of Regulation 43(1)(a) of the CCRs.
In respect of the remaining modifications referred to elsewhere within this notice, the Department viewed that such changes are justified on the basis that they are compliant with the requirements of Regulation 43(1)(b) of the CCRs for the reasons set out below.

locality: Reading

postalCode: RG1 1NB

streetAddress: 4th Floor Phoenix House, 1 Station Hill

legalName: Saltaire Housing Ltd

name: Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

description: Banking and investment services

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Many RPs that would otherwise have been eligible for the scheme paused development activity and diverted their available funding towards existing stock improvements, which inevitably reduced demand for the existing scheme given its development focus. By allowing AHGS20 finance to be used both for new development (with a minimum of 50% of each loan to be used for this purpose) and decarbonisation and remediation, the scheme will be better aligned to RPs' current priorities, enabling them to access funding at lower rates than are available in the market (that can in turn be reinvested in delivering their business plans) and ensuring they can continue to develop new homes while addressing issues with their existing stock. Further, the political landscape has changed since the procurement was conducted in 2019/2020, such that there is a more intensive focus today in respect of tackling environmental and quality issues. The Department believes that the AHGS20 is the optimal vehicle to address these issues and the expansion of the required delivery undertakings under each loan and the limited range of associated variations to the benefit of RPs does not materially alter the services procured under the initial concession contract (i.e the raising of finance to lend to RPs and the subsequent underwriting and administration of that lending). Indeed, not only would the adjustment to the borrowing restrictions be optimal, but in respect of the health and safety issues referenced above, the Department believes it is entirely necessary for the AHGS20 to assist with this objective. Therefore, in order for the AHGS20 to continue to deliver its primary objective (i.e. support the delivery of new-build and additional affordable housing), it is necessary to ensure that the scheme facilitates safe practices and ensures that borrowers meet their contractual obligations and wider duties to comply with latest government guidance/regulations. Changes to the security arrangements (whereby borrowers will have the option to calculate the minimum value of their security by reference to the amount allocated to new development only) were required because, unlike new development, expenditure on decarbonisation and decency works does not necessarily lead to a corresponding increase in asset values. Requiring borrowers to provide security in the absence of such an increase would create a drag on their unencumbered asset base, prejudicing their ability to access finance from commercial lenders who require a more traditional security package. These factors, coupled with the other factors discussed below, means that the Department believes it is necessary to incorporate these modifications.
The Department also believes that a change of concessionaire could not be made for economic/technical reasons. Tranche A and Tranche B constitutes an integrated product, in that both are advanced to the same borrower at the same time and are secured by the same asset pool. If Tranche A/Tranche B were advanced by different lenders, and the Tranche B lender were unsecured, then in the event of a default on the Tranche B loan resulting in a call on the guarantee, the Department would have no recourse to the Tranche A security in relation to the Tranche B default. The Department cannot accept such a diminished security position. It would also involve operational complexity for all parties and would also result in the loss of efficiencies associated with utilising the existing bond programme to finance the Tranche B lending, leading to increased costs.
A change of concessionaire would also cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Department. The 2019/2020 procurement process took some 18 months to ensure that bidders were provided with sufficient time to respond. Delaying the implementation of the above changes would have had a significant impact on RPs' ability to access funding necessary to enable them to deliver their business plans to support the delivery of new-build and additional affordable housing, thereby jeopardising the objectives of the scheme. It would have also incurred costs and the administrative burden on applicants because of the need to make separate applications and put in place separate loan and security agreements with separate entities depending on whether the loan was for new development or investment in existing stock, with a high degree of overlap/duplication. It would also have also required separate due diligence and approval processes within the Department which would have extended the timeline for making loans available. To that end, the Department took the view that the timescales and costs which would be involved in a further procurement process, and to operate a parallel scheme, would be significant and would lead to substantial duplication of public funds.
In respect of the increase in value to the original concession, the original contract value was estimated to be £105m (on the basis of the Cumulative Guarantee Amount being £3bn) and £192m (on the basis of the Cumulative Guarantee Amount being £6bn). The modifications described in this notice result in the Cumulative Guarantee Amount being £6bn and an increase to the estimated contract value to £213m in total, which is significantly below the 50% threshold.

description:
The changes to the Scheme Rules reflected in the concession agreement are primarily to enable the making of Tranche B loans to support energy efficient and housing decency improvements ("Existing Asset Investments"), alongside Tranche A Loans to support development of "Approved Pipeline Schemes". Loans will continue to be made for general corporate purposes, with amounts equivalent to Tranche A and Tranche B required to be spent on Approved Pipeline Schemes and Existing Asset Investments, respectively. Changes include:
- the addition of provisions to enable Approved Borrowers to request that up to 50% of a Loan be classified (or reclassified) as a Tranche B loan;
- the addition of provisions to enable up to 50% of an existing Loan to be recategorised as a Tranche A Loan (subject to Guarantor consent) giving borrowers who elect to take a Tranche B Loan the option for their minimum security value to be calculated by reference to the Tranche A amount only, in return for paying a non-refundable fee that will be for the guarantor's sole account. On any default, the security will be available to cover the aggregate Tranche A and Tranche B loan amount, and the aggregate loan amount also will be used as the basis for calculating the threshold for security releases;
- A replacement of the concept of Debt Service Cover with Interest Cover, to reflect how the scheme has operated in practice over the past three years;
- the Guarantee Application Period can be extended by a further year on a maximum of two occasions at the sole discretion of the Guarantor, which is in addition to the two year extension already granted under the terms of the Agreement pursuant to the exercise of the original option;
- an extension to end date of the concession to be the earlier of the date two years after the last date on which final repayment is due under a loan and 31 December 2063 (originally 31 December 2059), which is necessary to prevent the concession agreement ending prior to the final loan position being finalised;
- discrete changes to the Approved Borrower proposal which the Concessionaire submits to the Department to provide necessary details including in relation to any Tranche B loan;
- incorporating an additional obligation on the Concessionaire to ensure that each loan agreement provides that an amount equal to loan funds are utilised for projects that satisfy the eligibility requirements of the Scheme Rules at the time of the loan application;
- amending the 'Borrower Arrangement Fee' in respect of loans funded by on-lending the proceeds of a capital raising such that where a loan does not include a Tranche B Loan as well as a Tranche A Loan, the arrangement fee shall be 0.55 per cent of the nominal total committed amount of the Loan rather than 0.50 per cent. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Approved Borrower takes only Tranche A borrowing, the arrangement fee remains 0.50 per cent;
- amending the 'Borrower Management Services Fee' such that the 0.02 per cent step down (from 0.10 per cent per annum to 0.08 per cent per annum plus CPI on the loan balance) that would have applied to loans funded if the Cumulative Guarantee Amount increased from £3bn to £6bn, has been removed i.e. the 'Borrower Management Services Fee' is the same for all borrowers and all loans at 0.10 per cent per annum plus CPI from scheme inception on the loan balance;
- additional drafting to incorporate additional obligations on the Concessionaire in respect of reporting/attending meetings with the Department and monitoring/periodically calculating the asset cover amount in accordance with the loan agreements;
- revisions to the scheme rules to articulate the eligibility criteria for Tranche B loans;
- revision to the form of loan agreement which stipulates that borrowers must start on site within 3 years rather than 2 years (to provide additional time in light of the challenges outlined above in respect of RPs' prioritisation); and
- minor clarificatory changes to the drafting to ensure alignment throughout the scheme documentation and to reflect updated legislation.

description: As specified in the pre-qualification questionnaire document at Section: 1.13 PART 1: FORM E - Technical and Professional Ability.

description:
Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: The Authority intends to restrict the number of tenderers up to a maximum of six. The Authority will assess the suitability of potential providers to be invited to tender using the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) that interested providers must complete to be considered. The PQQ will be assessed and, if necessary, the number of potential providers reduced to a maximum of up to six, using the following assessment criteria, all of which must be met.
1. Potential providers must score a "PASS" against all questions throughout the questionnaire that are scored as "PASS/FAIL".
2. Potential providers must demonstrate satisfactory (PASS) evidence against questions SQ-6.1 to 6.3 (serial numbers 1.13.1 to 1.13.3) in Part 1 Form E - Technical and Professional Ability.
All Suppliers who satisfy the above assessment criteria will be ranked using the total weighted score allocated against the scored questions in [the Technical Questionnaire] and the Authority will invite up to six providers with the highest total weighted score. If there are a number of providers with the same weighted score, the Authority reserves the right to invite more than the maximum number of six suppliers. In the event that more than one supplier is ranked in sixth place on the above basis, the Authority reserves the right to award sixth place on the basis of the highest score in Form F section 2.4 (Technical Questions) only.
Failure to achieve a minimum pass mark of 60 of 100 for the overall DPQQ score may result in elimination from the process.

title: Provision of Remote Patient Monitoring

description:
Virtual ward services (also known as hospital at home) allow patients of all ages to receive acute-level care safely and conveniently at their usual place of residence, including care homes. These services aim to improve patient experience and outcomes and narrow the gap between demand and capacity for hospital beds, by either preventing avoidable attendances and admissions, or reducing length of stay through early discharge.

A South East Region Virtual Wards Evaluation paper (published May 2024), highlighted that digital integration, if done well, leads to more effective tech enabled virtual wards, whilst barriers to success include insufficient data support and inefficient manual data collection processes.

WSFT are committed to supporting the positive operational impact and clinical effectiveness of our virtual wards through partnership with a best fit Remote Monitoring (RM) platform and supplier. Our incumbent RM supplier contract ends on 1st April 2025, and we require a seamless transition of service to a new RM platform. Through this move we expect to enhance our existing digital capability and continue to benefit through close collaboration and continuous future platform innovation with a new technology partner.

The Trust is looking to procure a three year contract with two optional extension periods of 12 months each. We anticipate contract start being 1st March 2025 as it is critical the new provision is in place before the current contract expires to ensure there is no disruption to patient care.
