title: Patient Questionnaire Framework (PQF)

description: It is intended to create a multi-supplier framework agreement for call off services to support the administration, collection and conversion of NHS patient questionnaires into data. The framework will run for four years and will be utilised by the Department of Health, its Arms Length Bodies (ALBs), any Health Service bodies as defined by S9 of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended) and any other organisations or bodies providing NHS-funded services to patients within England. The DH envisages two Lots to be called off under this framework: Lot 1: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) - a means of collecting information on the clinical quality of care delivered to NHS patients as perceived by the patients themselves. The collection of these data will fill a gap in the set of information available on the care delivered to NHS-funded patients and complement existing information on the clinical quality of care and on patient experience. PROMs comprise repeated surveying of patients and are administered pre-operatively (the "Q1" questionnaire) and post-operatively (the "Q2" questionnaire) within defined intervals and to preset standards for their administration. Lot 2: Other Patient Questionnaires - comprise any Questionnaire instrument administered to patients pre- or post-operatively, using any sampling (or census) methodology as specified by the framework user. Other patient Questionnaires will be similar in question format and length to the PROMs Questionnaires. These may be just one part of the PROMs survey which may include either a Q1, Q2 or both. Potential suppliers must be able to demonstrate that they have the capacity and experience of providing a flexible, quality service which meets the general requirements, and will be capable of meeting anticipated changes in demand during the operating period of the framework agreement. The Department will encourage SME's to collaborate or submit responses to this contract notice and PQQ. The framework will enable framework users to call-off services to support the collection and reporting of data through the administration of patient questionnaires to patients in receipt of NHS-funded care. The intention is for the collection of these questionnaires to be expanded to an increasing number of NHS funded patients and there is expected to be an increase in patient numbers within scope over the lifetime of the Framework Agreement. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to discontinue the tendering process at any time and not award the contract. Supplier Briefing Day (for urgent attention) The Authority intends to hold a supplier briefing day on either the 13th or 14th of December 2011 to give an overview of the PQF procurement and the key requirements for potential suppliers, as detailed in the PQQ documentation. This event will be held in London (it is intended that the venue will be confirmed by 9th December 2011). If you are interested in attending this event please respond via the BMS messaging system by Friday the 9th of December 2011. Please do not formally express an interest at this stage, as this function within BMS is for the submission of PQQ responses. The Department of Health, as the Contracting Authority, is establishing this Framework Agreement for the benefit of the Department of Health, its Arms Length Bodies (ALBs), Health Service bodies identified under section 9 of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended) and any other organisations or bodies providing NHS-funded services.

title: Laue Powder X-ray Diffractometer

description: The University of Warwick, Department of Physics, has a requirement for an x-ray backscatter Laue system. The existing Laue System is currently used to check the quality and then align single crystal samples. It includes an x‐ray generator, a set of 6 precision rotation/position stages and a digital x‐ray camera. It allows for nearly real‐time data collection, as on the best scattering samples the minimal exposure time is less than a minute.We are looking for: 1) an increase in sensitivity of the Laue camera (decrease in exposure time) by at least a factor of 20; 2) an increase in the digital resolution (better than 2 megapixels over an area of 150 cm2); 3) an adjustable beam‐size which should typically be smaller than 0.5 mm in diameter (compared to the present 1mm); 4) an improved robustness of the camera, as at present the scintillator is very fragile and requires constant attention; 5) a replacement of the x‐ray generator with a state of the art unit. The new LS should be supplied fully aligned and ready for use. Bids should therefore include all costs involved with delivery, installation and commissioning. This is a below EU threshold tender. All correspondence regarding this tender procedure should be made through the University if Warwick In-Tend system via the "Correspondence" functionality. Failure to do so may result in the correspondence being excluded from the tender procedure.

title: Intersystems Cache Elite Licensing x95 fro NEPSCA

description: The NHAIS System runs on a Cache database. The existing system operated by NEPSCA (North East Primary Care Services Agency) has reached the end of its life and they are replacing it with an Itanium server. In licence terms this represents a platform change and therefore a new licence is required. Machine upgrade work will be facilitated by new licenscing which will support business continuity for NEPSCA's NHAIS Services (GP Payments, Cytology and Breast Screening, Patient Registration). Whilst the items on the contract are for use in NEPSCA's NHAIS systems, the order placed through CFH in order to attract the volume discounts; full value will be recharged to the Agency. This contract is for the procurement of the upgrade licensing for the above described system. As such we have made the decision to invite only the vendor, Intersystems, to tender on the basis that this option avoids the need to specifify and procure entirely new systems (an option which would be far more costly than the upgrade proposed), and avoid additional channel reseller markups.

title: The UK Air Quality Pollutant Inventory and Greenhouse Gas Inventory

description: Research and development services and related consultancy services. Although the Services that the Contracting Authority requires falls outside of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 it has decided to place this advertisement in the OJEU on a voluntary basis. The Department for Department for Energy & Climate Change and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs request expressions of interest for the supply of the UK Air Quality Pollutant Inventory and Greenhouse Gas Inventory. DECC/ Defra have issued a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to invite potential suppliers to express their interest in bidding for this work. The PQQ outlines the general expected requirements at the time of publication. The overall aim of the work is to maintain, and seek continual development to, the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) database in order to quantify national emissions of a range of air quality pollutants and greenhouse gases. The key output of this work will be the provision of a high quality and consistent assessment of temporal trends and spatial patterns of emissions for national policy and public information. This information must be reported annually as the UK Air Quality (AQ) pollutant inventory and the UK Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory, in order to fulfil the UK’s national, European and international reporting obligations on air quality and climate change. The inventories must be reported according to different geographical coverages, and must include the production of Devolved Administration and Local Authority inventories. The methods used in compiling and reporting emissions data must comply with the relevant international guidance and must be recorded in a publicly available and transparent way.


title: ILIDS Compression Project

description: HOS/11/044 - Project to investigate the effect of video compression on the performance of video analytics in security applications Technical requirements for contract 1 Project summary The success of the i-LIDS (Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems) project has seen a number of automated Video Analytics products improve in performance which in turn contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of current CCTV across the critical national infrastructure, policing and counter terrorism. The project has until now concentrated on the use of legacy analogue camera systems. It has become increasingly common to see the use of digital cameras, transmission and recording for CCTV and there are many variables associated with digital imagery, specifically the use of compression. Whilst this has some benefits for CCTV infrastructure (such as being able to have many cameras over one network, video storage,) digitally compressed imagery can result in a loss of information and detail. As a consequence, it is difficult to gauge how well automated video analytics systems perform with this kind compressed imagery compared with traditional analogue footage. Without this knowledge, it is difficult to advise on the effects of digital compression on automated CCTV systems and challenging to set the terms of best practice in this area. This project will take the known performance of i-LIDS approved video analytics systems and re-evaluate them against the same footage that has been digitally treated. The process will be repeated and the level of compression increased to assess where performance falls below acceptable levels. This will be applicable to both live detection and post-event searching scenarios. Guidance documentation will be produced to better advise CNI and other stakeholders on these effects. 2 Project activities The work is broadly divided across 5 activities. 1. Conduct CODEC research: In order to progress the project it is necessary to understand the types of digital video currently being used in CCTV. It is anticipated that the number of different CODECS will be large (although most are based on standard compression schemes) and it will be necessary to aim for an approach where there is a fair distribution of representative methods. This will establish CODECS that are inherently different from each other and those that are most commonly used. This will ensure that the image artefacts generated replicate those commonly found in digitally compressed CCTV footage (both recorded and egress/transmitted footage). 2. Application of chosen CODECS: Apply CODECS to the current i-LIDS Evaluation datasets at different levels creating several sets of data for evaluation. The footage produced will range from the best permissible quality to the more severe forms of compression. 3. Evaluate performance of systems: Test the performance of a sample set of i-LIDS evaluated systems against the digitally treated datasets. In the case of the sterile zone dataset this can be compared against already approved i-LIDS Sterile Zone video analytics systems. Other datasets can be evaluated using ‘best available’ video analytics systems. The evaluations will be conducted using the HOSDB/CPNI test suite. The metric used in the original evaluation will be applied to the results, giving a direct comparison of the analogue results and digital datasets. 4. Results & dissemination: Mine results to see the effects of digital compression. Discover areas where systems perform particularly well due to the datasets and areas where they have under performed. Observe the different performances and indicate where systems become not fit for purpose using compressed video footage. 5.Produce guidance: Produce a Best Guidance document based on this research detailing how to use automated video detection systems with digitally compressed video footage. 3 Requirements The extra mural effort for this project is split over FY 2011/12 and 2012/13. The project is underway now and is scheduled to be complete by the end of June 2012. CAST wish to place a contract with an external provider to assist with the delivery of this project.
