title: EXPRESSION OF INTEREST - Identifying Organisations to Partner the NHS Institute in the Delivery of the Productive General Practice

description: The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement (NHS Institute) is seeking applications from potential partner organisations with an interest in becoming licensed to sell and deliver the Productive General Practice programme. Productive General Practice is a practice-wide change programme, developed with general practice staff, which supports general practices in realising internal efficiencies, while maintaining quality of care and releasing time to spend on more value added activities. It is delivered in a modular fashion with comprehensive guidance for each standardised module. It is a practical application of lean based and other improvement techniques that will vastly increase a practice’s capacity and capability for continuous improvement. The NHS Institute is going through a period of significant organisational change. It is moving from being an Arm’s Length Body of the Department of Health to becoming a commercially orientated Government Owned Company. An exciting opportunity has arisen to meet the high demand anticipated for the delivery of the Productive General Practice programme. As part of the programme’s nationwide launch the NHS Institute is searching for organisations to become partners in delivering the product to GP practices across NHS England. For sales and delivery purposes, NHS England will be split into territories and applicants are encouraged from all areas of the country so that adequate resource is available to meet demand. It is anticipated that the final agreement will be similar to that of a franchise, whereby the partner organisation will have a license to sell the programme to GP practices within a territory. The NHS Institute may retain some capability to sell and deliver Productive General Practice using internal resources. Objective: To establish a limited number of partners who will provide high level skills and expertise for the sale and delivery of the Productive General Practice programme to GP practices within defined territories. Contract Length: Organisations selected as partners to sell and deliver the Productive General Practice product will be issued with an annual license to carry out the activity. All partners will be subject to periodic performance assessments, which will determine the renewal of that license. More details can be found in the expression of interest document. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a typical tendering opportunity. This notice invites organisations to express an interest in becoming licensed partners to sell and deliver the Productive General Practice product for the NHS Institute. In order to express an interest in this opportunity and apply to become a partner, organisations are required to submit an application. Please visit www.nhsi-procurement.co.uk to register for more information on this opportunity.

description:
Ofgem is requesting proposals for a new web hosting network infrastructure based on current security best practices and adhering to CESG and ISO27000 standards. The new system is expected to enable Ofgem to hold up to Restricted level (Business Impact Level 3) data and meet the above standards in terms of network security as well as allowing potential for additional security elements to be added.

 It is envisaged that the current hosted infrastructure will not be suitable in a number of areas and will be migrated to the new secure infrastructure. The new system is expected to have a useful productive life of at least 5 years, and must be designed and configured to support the future growth and expansion requirements of Ofgem in terms of both size and functional parameters. It is required that the new system must also be able to accommodate future technology enhancements that have the potential to increase operational effectiveness and ease the implementation of new features, functions and applications.

 - Increase the level of network and application security within the Hounslow site and interconnecting Millbank/Glasgow sites

 - Robustness and resiliency of the solution.

 - Ease of management, centralised management application for updates, monitoring, adds and changes, alerts etc…

 - Centralised Security Information and Event Correlation, Management and Alerting (requiring minimal operational input/management)

 - Explanation of how Active Directory requests are handled and filtering capabilities proposed within the solution.

 - A reliable and stable system

 - Options for resiliency in case of hardware and/or software failure

 - Easily accommodate organisation growth

 - Extend similar features and functionality to Millbank and Glasgow sites

title: Provision of an Operational Patient Care Pathway Survey

description: There is a necessity for the DMS to be able to provide good quality and independent evidence for the forthcoming Care Quality Commission (CQC) review of the DMS. Patient experience is one of the 3 key dimensions of quality, and has historically tended to receive less attention than the other 2 - clinical effectiveness and patient safety. However, recent changes within the NHS regulatory framework have seen the importance of this dimension increase requiring the DMS to follow suit in order to maintain alignment. In order to meet CQC scrutiny, the DMS must be in a position to provide evidence on the experience of care across all patient pathways. To date, patient experience monitoring in the Role 4 environment has been challenging due to the complexity of the patient care pathway. Whilst some specific areas have been monitored there has not been a mechanism which will capture all aspects of the pathway. The use of an independent organization to develop a patient experience survey tool will allow the DMS to produce high quality, robust and independent evidence which can be presented to the CQC and used to develop a Quality and Risk Profile for the DMS. This evidence will support the CQC scrutiny of several significant areas of DMS business: the Role 3 facility in Camp Bastion; the Role 4 capability at the RCDM and the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court; the interface with rehabilitation in military primary care; and the welfare support within both Role 4 and primary care. The understanding gained from the results will enable the DMS to make more informed commissioning and quality improvement decisions, and will drive the most cost effective solutions for the delivery of care and welfare to the Armed Forces. It will also allow the DMS to tailor its provision of care to best meet the needs of its patients. In order to meet the requirements of the CQC review, and to ensure that the DMS is aligned with NHS developments, a solution must be developed that: a. Provides an independent assessment of the experience of care (medical, social and welfare) for seriously injured combat casualties and their families, looking retrospectively from an advanced point in their patient care pathway (once a patient has completed or is near completion of care) back to the point of original injury. b. Allows holistic analysis of the entire care pathway, in addition to detailed interrogation of both individual parts therein and points of care transfer. c. Covers the experience of care provided by: the Role 3 facility in Camp Bastion; the Role 4 capability at the RCDM and the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court; the interface with rehabilitation in military primary care; and the welfare support within both Role 4 and primary care. d. Covers the experience of care provided by the DMS, and where appropriate, other organizations providing care and/or support both to the patient and their family as part of the total care pathway. e. Provides a robust evidence base which can be used to identify areas of best practice or areas for improvement and allows identification of differences in experience and expectations. f. Provides a focus from which to further investigate issues by follow up focus groups. g. Explores the possibility of using patient group feedback as a proxy for patient feedback where individual feedback is not achievable. h. Results in provision of a validated questionnaire, and data analysis techniques, which can be used in future by the DMS to assess patient experience of the operational patient care pathway.

To inform this analysis we are looking for advice from a consultant, which will need to draw on expertise in modelling the electricity system. The consultant will be expected to produce a report outlining their methodology and conclusions.

title: AATSR (Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer) Data Exploitation – Flight Operations Support and Archive Activities

description: The Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) is a scientific space instrument designed primarily to measure sea surface temperature (SST) globally to a very high degree of accuracy. AATSR was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on their Envisat satellite in March 2002 and DECC funds essential ongoing activities, to obtain SST data for use in research that informs the scientific evidence base for climate change policies. AATSR and its two predecessor instruments provide a continuous SST record from July 1991. All three instruments are signified collectively by the acronym (A)ATSR. At present it is anticipated that AATSR will continue operating until at least the end of 2013. This project will continue the ongoing obligations for flight operational support and archive activities required to maintain and extend the (A)ATSR dataset, as agreed with ESA. The key components of this project, which will run from 1 July 2011 to 31 March 2014, will: • Develop and maintain the existing (A)ATSR Archive and provide an efficient access service and interface to UK users of the (A)ATSR data. • Develop and maintain the (A)ATSR Archive Product Processor (APP) and the AATSR Prototype Processor (PP), including modifications to implement any agreed changes to the algorithms and products. • Provide expert support for routine monitoring of the performance of AATSR and investigation of any anomalous behaviour. • Deliver management of the project as part of the wider AATSR programme of work. Further information about AATSR is available at www.ATSRsensors.org and through its links to other websites.

This particular Framework Agreement will operate as follows: • The operational area will be split into 4 Contract areas (Lots) – West, East, North Beats and Savernake. Approximate area to be chemically weeded for each area is as follows:- Lot No 1 – West Beat – 56Ha Lot No 2 – East Beat – 76Ha Lot No 3 – North Beat – 13Ha Lot No 4 – Savernake Beat – 6Ha Mechanical weeding and hand weeding form a very small part of the Contract. • Contractors may submit a tender for one, any or all of the areas. • All chemicals specified in the tender documents will be supplied by the Contractor. • The prices submitted will be per hectare. When pricing for this tender, all aspects of the operation should be considered and included in the price, i.e. fuel, differing terrain, etc. • On receipt of all tenders, each will be scored against a set of standard criteria. • Tenders will be split into 2 categories, successful and unsuccessful. • All successful tenderers will then be accepted onto ‘The Framework’, and sent a contract to sign up to which will then make them eligible to work within the area they have tendered for. • Specific jobs will be direct allocation to a nominated contractor using the specific prices stated in the original tender. If contractors decline a direct allocation for whatever reason, then this work will be offered up to other supliers on an individual basis. • This agreement is likely to be with one or more contractors but there is no obligation on our part to supply work to any contractors on the Famework Agreement.

title: Auction Services

description: Auction services. The Contracting Authority (the Authority) is looking to carryout a tender exercise to set up a Framework Agreement with multiple contractors on a regional basis to supply auction services covering Northern England (including Northern Ireland), Southern England, London & Wales (for the purposes of this framework the 'North' of England should be regarded as north of Birmingham and the 'South' of England will be Birmingham and south of Birmingham). The initial contract period is three years with an option to extend for a further year. The requirement is for Service Providers who can provide a range of Auction Services including: receiving papers and signing for same with TNT as necessary, carrying out a brief risk assessment (i.e. to ensure that the item is not something which cannot be removed) and that the value of items listed is judged to cover all costs plus an amount of 50 GBP or 10 % of the principal debt which ever is the lesser, if considered viable, set up a record, within 24 hours of receiving the assignment making contact with the Debtor by telephone and then following this up immediately by issuing a letter (provided by the Client) warning of visit and removal after 7 days if payment not made direct to the Client, assessing the appropriate course of action for the case, cost of returning the papers to the Client by recorded delivery on conclusion of the case, appraisal, removal & storage of goods seized by the Authority as part of distraint action, immediate removal – in cases where immediate removal is necessary the Contractor must have the ability to carry this out without notice, providing sufficient suitable transport and personnel, advertising/sale at Public Auction of goods seized as part of distraint action, professional/technical advice, auction planning, saleroom service, progress reports, administration. Where the tenderer can demonstrate as part of the tender process that, in addition to these services they can provide specialist services in respect of the auction of motor vehicles, specialised machinery, computers and accessories, electrical goods and goods that need a special licence or permit, the Authority reserves the right to award this work to a Contractor who can demonstrate expertise in these areas, the list of specialised areas is indicative and not exhaustive. If a Service Provider believes they will not be able to provide any of the more specialist services, then this should be made clear in their tender response on the understanding that this may not necessarily mean the response will not be successful. The Contractor must have the full range of auction skills and experience relevant to the removal, storage and sale of a wide variety of goods and have adequate vehicles, facilities and premises to conduct removals, store goods and conduct Public Auctions, if any of these services can only be met by sub-contracting or hiring/leasing the equipment/premises and vehicles the Authority will need to be advised of these arrangements. The Contractor must have the facility to conduct a sale on the debtors premises (a ‘sale on site’) if appropriate and after assessment of health & safety andassociated risks. The Contractor will be expected to carry out additional duties as required such as conducting immediate removals or acting as ‘possession man’. Existing legislation under which officers of HM Revenue & Customs may carry out duties formally conducted by Collectors of Taxes and officers of Customs & Excise is to be replaced by the Tribunals,Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (TCEA2007), on implementation (currently intended for April 2012) much of the legislation for ‘distraint’ will be repealed for England and Wales (but not Northern Ireland) and replaced by Part 3 of TCEA07 (‘taking control of goods’) and associated Regulations. The duties and responsibilities of the Enforcement Agent (the Authority) will vary and increase considerably. When the new legislation takes effect the requirements will change and the Client reserves the right to vary and amend the terms and conditions of the Specification accordingly.

This prospectus includes the key objectives of the CSO, the needs of the CCGs and potential services to be delivered. This has been developed through broad stakeholder engagement with CCGs and Cluster staff.

In order to undertake the work the Cluster needs to secure the best outcome in terms of following national and SHA guidance, delivering the best overall solution for the locality (including securing best value for money) and being responsive to the views of CCGs so that there is ownership of the overall solution across the health economy. Approach It is anticipated that the main activities under each workstream will be as follows; these activities should not be viewed as sequential: 1. Approach to transition a. Establish capability and capacity requirements for the CSO b. Finalise scope and scale of the CSO c. Alignment of CSO with the Cluster-wide Estates and IM&T strategy d. Support implementation of CSO 2. Commercial model a. Financial viability of CSO model b. Establish governance arrangements for CSO c. Development of initial contractual terms (SLA) for the CSO d. Support development of CCG ‘Intelligent client’ function 3. Engagement a. Confirmation of Customer requirements b. Assessment of suitable interaction and partnering options for the CSO c. Communications approach for all parties 4. Business case a. Validation of all components of the CSO model b. Develop a robust business case for the implementation of the CSO c. Ensure CSO supports CCG Authorisation Outputs It is anticipated that at least the three key deliverables outlined below will be delivered: 1. Clear and rationale route map to CSO transition, working with the Cluster teams 2. CCGs confident to act as intelligent clients for the CSO 3. Financially sustainable business case for the implementation of the CSO Timescales It is anticipated that this support should be provided to ensure that the shadow CSO will be in place from April 2012.
