title: Public Health Science Young People’s Health and Lifestyle Survey NHS Hull

description: Objectives and Methods To undertake the Young People’s Health and Lifestyle Survey using self-completion questionnaires (paper or web-based). To propose a sample frame and survey methodology that will provide a sample representative of school years 7 to 11 inclusive. Maintain confidentiality and anonymity. To achieve an overall sample size of at least 3,000, representative of the Hull area by age, gender and IMD 2010 child poverty index distribution, while also ensuring that the geographical spread of the respondents is broadly representative of areas within Hull. To undertake 5-10 reflector/focus groups in schools with young people aged 11-16 years and among young people aged 16-18 years who are broadly representative of young people of this age (i.e. involve a mixture of young people who enter further education at 16 and those who leave education at 16). Further specific details of these groups will be determined by the Steering Group. To participate in Steering Group meetings in order to speedily produce, pilot and finalise the questionnaire, which will be largely based on the questionnaire used in our previous Health and Lifestyle Surveys. We anticipate that the final questionnaire will take no more than half an hour to complete. To enter the data produced in an appropriate database as agreed with the Steering Group. To quality check the data entry, and sample validity. To deliver the completed questionnaires and finalised database to the Public Health Science Team at NHS Hull head office. To ensure that personnel have appropriate Criminal Records Bureau clearance and are covered by appropriate insurance, etc. To produce a summary report detailing the process which has been followed in fulfilling the survey brief, including detailed information on the survey response rates and possible causes of bias. The survey data is to remain the property of NHS Hull.

title: Contract Management Training

documentType: tenderNotice

description:
The requirement is to put in place a training course (estimated to be half a day or 3 hours in duration and classroom based) and provision of relevant materials and aids, and offered on a call-off basis. The aims (or learning outcomes) of the course being:

 - Understand typical contractual obligations and translate these to practical steps (using some Ofgem case study examples)

 - Appreciate what constitutes good governance arrangements

 - How to identify common pitfalls and how these can be avoided

 - Ensure effective control and management of costs and risks

 - Ensure deliverables are met to quality and timeline expectations

 - What qualities, skills, competencies, professional knowledge and aptitudes should a competent contract manager possess?

 Tenderers should note that we are a public body and as such the training material should take this into account and ensure that relevant guidance and best practice from Government Procurement and National Audit Office is embedded within the training. For instance, NAO guidance from 2008 (unless superseded):

 http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/0809/central_governments_managemen.aspx

 Tenderers can propose alternative durations and delivery methods for the training but in doing so will be expected to provide justification/rationale and an outline of the benefits of doing so. Tenderers should propose optimum class size for this training.

 The proposal should also include a plan for evaluating the impact of the training and how the key principles should be embedded.

 We would expect the case studies to cover the mechanics of the evolutionary steps from informing the scope, contributing to the evaluation of bidders and selection of successful supplier to then managing the contractual relationship following contract award and certifying of invoices for payment and managing the budget.

 We would expect that as part of the scoping stage a meeting would be held at our London office where Ofgem would be represented by the Head of Procurement and colleagues from HR’s L&D function and Project Management team and possibly our Finance and Risk Management team.

 We anticipate the training course and core material to be fairly standardised but tailored to suit Ofgem’s internal governance arrangements and way of doing things.

 Given the limitation of time for face-to-face delivery we would expect some of the training material to comprise part of a ‘pre-read’ with reinforcement of the key learning points during the training session.

 After the delivery of at least six sessions Ofgem would like this training developed into an ‘off the shelf’ package and the materials and trainer’s notes should be formed into a suitable package to enable this form of delivery, perhaps in the form of a MS Powerpoint presentation.

title: THE PROVISION OF UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD STEM CELL UNITS

description: This is a closed competition and is only being published for transparency purposes. In January 2010, the Department of Health asked the NHS Blood and Transplant Authority (NHSBT) to lead a review on the future of unrelated donor stem cell transplantation, both bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, in the UK and report back to UK Health Ministers with options on service development. To take this work forward, the UK Stem Cell Strategic Forum (the Forum) was established. On 1 December 2010, the Department published the report from the review. This included 20 recommendations on how stem cell transplant services could be improved and developed. Currently, the main use for these stem cell units is to treat life threatening disorders, especially cancer of the blood (e.g. Leukaemia) and anaemia (e.g. Sickle Cell). It is estimated once the full programme is completed it will lead to an estimated more 200 lives being saved each year. We are therefore seeking a supplier who can take forward major work on implementing these changes. Any supplier wishing to bid to provide these services must provide the following: General • Be able match fund the DH investment made in this contract. • Be able to work closely with NHS Blood and Transplant, Special Health Authority in the NHS sponsored by the Deparment of Health with responsibility for optimising the supply of blood, organs, and tissues to the benefit of NHS patients and to optimise the effective and efficient adult and cord blood stem cell services that represent value for money. • A national presence and established credibility that can deliver the logistics and operational know-how to work closely and directly with NHS Blood and Transplant and the wider NHS, including the proven capacity to work successfully with NHS Foundation Trusts. • Must be an expert in the work of the UK Stem Cell Strategic Forum and its oversight group and will have an intimate understanding of the challenges applying to the implementation of the recommendations from its 2010 report. As part of the programme to implement these recommendations the Department of Health (England) (DH) would expect, at a minimum, a level of service that would deliver the following: Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells Over three years, the contractor will provide in the financial years 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15: • At a minimum, 900 to 1,000 collected, processed and stored umbilical cord blood stem cell units to UK cord blood inventory per annum. All units must be accessible to the NHS. • All cord blood units will be of clinical grade quality with proven capacity to increase cell dose threshold for all cords to 1400 x 106 TNC pre-processing and 3.2 x 106 CD34+. • An ability to deliver high resolution typed clinical cords for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5 and -DQB1 loci. Adult Donor Stem Cells • Provide capacity to manage the delivery of high resolution typing of at least 10,000 Caucasian donors between the age of 16 to 30 years old per annum, working toward an overall UK target as agreed with DH. • Work with DH and its partners to increase the representation of donors from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) population, including working closely with the National Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Transplant Alliance (NBTA). • Provide a single portal for all searches of adult donor registers and cord blood inventories both nationally and internationally for all NHS Transplant Units.

BACKGROUND - The Council aims to commission a pathway of services which meet the needs of adult carers living in or providing care to a resident in Camden. Carers are being increasingly recognised as a vulnerable group that is at disproportionate risk of health inequalities. There is national agreement that supporting carers and their families using a planned and a co-ordinated approach leads to better outcomes for both the carer and cared for person. The national and local carers strategies are clear that support to carers should be tailored to meet individual need, enabling carers to maintain a balance between their caring responsibilities and a life outside caring. There is also a clear focus on ensuring that carers are supported to maintain their health and wellbeing and this focus will be embedded within the local Health and Wellbeing Strategy. Carer support in Camden is currently provided through a range of services. This fragmentation of services can lead to confusion and inequity for carers. It is proposed to tender services so that carers can more easily access support and advice for themselves regardless of which organisation recognises their caring role. The range of services we aim to commission for carers includes: Information and signposting, Advocacy, Social activities, Training , Carer led forum, Camden Carers Voice, Hospital Discharge support for carers, Stroke specific carer support within hospital, Psychoeducation and training for carers of people with dementia, An activity based service for people with dementia and their carers, Targeted work with younger adult carer aged 18-25 years, Mental Health carers and Learning Disability carers, Developing Primary Care awareness and support and health checks for carers, Information and Social activities for carers from various cultural groups such as Greek, Bengali, Somali, Life outside caring opportunities, Short term emergency breaks Service outcomes will be related and specific to each service area. The Council will welcome bids to deliver these contacts from partnerships/consortia of organisations working together, particularly those involving VCS, SME and specialist providers. The Council considers that such partnerships will strengthen the delivery of service outcomes. For a copy of the questions, please email lana.begum@camden.gov.uk and monica.blackman@camden.gov.uk. Responses to these questions to be submitted to Karen Timperly, Strategic Commissioner – Carers by the close of business on 6th July 2012. Responses should be sent by email to Karen.timperley@camden.gov.uk

The BFI also runs two film festivals each year with the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival taking place in March and the London Film Festival, which is the UK’s largest public film event, dedicated to screening the best of international contemporary cinema, alongside key Archive restorations, taking place in October. It welcomes audiences of over 130,000 during the course of 16 days in over 10 venues across the city. It screens approximately 200 feature films, 120 short films, and has a number of special events.

The BFI is also working towards an integrated telecommunications solution and the selected handsets will be expected to work alongside the solution. The aim of the BFI is to have the new contract awarded by the end of July 2012.

UK Trade & Investment is seeking to commission analysis of data from up to 24 waves of its Performance and Impact Monitoring Survey (PIMS) to understand more about trends in the reported business benefits from UKTI trade services, and about the determinants of the observed trends. The project will build on, and extend, a previous project which had similar aims but was based on a smaller segment of the PIMS data. The project will require analysis to investigate: time trends over the 6 year period in PIMS results relating to measures of qualitative and quantitative impact and benefit to businesses using the services, including business R&D; correlations across trends in these results, and between these trends and variables likely to have been influencing them, including PIMS measures of service quality; and statistical analysis to try to identify the variables which have significant influence on reported business impact and benefit. Findings from the research will be used to inform targeting and future policy development relating to these services."

title: Co-op Homes Estate Services

description: The Employer, Co-op Homes (South) Limited, wishes to enter into a Contract for the servicing of its portfolio of housing schemes and estates. This work will primarily be the cleaning of internal and external communal areas, and the grounds maintenance of grassed areas, shrubs and trees, including weed control. The total annual value of the proposed works in 2010/11 was in the region of £60,000, but is expected to be higher with the enhancement of the specification, and the inclusion of additional properties. The Employer will prefer to award a single contract covering all of the identified estates/schemes, but will make its final decision based upon the perceived value for money of the received tenders and the ability of bidders to deliver the expected quality in regard to all the required works. The Contract Period will be for a period of 12 months, calculated from the Contract Commencement date. There will be an option for the Employer to extend the contract for a further 12 month period, subject to satisfactory performance by the successful contractor and the majority approval of residents within those schemes/estates covered by the contract. The form of contract used will be based upon the NEC 3 Term Service Short Contract (as amended). Prospective contractors will need to demonstrate their ability to comply with Co-op Homes minimum requirements in terms of appropriate insurance cover, Equalities and Diversity policy, and Environmental concerns by way of a pre-qualification process and the return of a short questionnaire. Because of the relatively low value of this initial contract, a full OJEU procurement process is not deemed necessary. However, the successful contractors will be asked to participate in the development of a total FM contract, including building maintenance, which Co-op Homes intends to let in the next couple of years. It is intended that tenders will be invited at the beginning of July, with evaluation and post tender negotiations continuing through August with a contract start date at the beginning of October – in order to avoid the additional burdens of the main grass-growing season.

title: Barking Shop Shutters

description: London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) invites submissions from established and emerging artists, illustrators, designers and makers. LBBD has secured funding for a comprehensive range of improvements in Barking Town Centre from Round 2 of the Mayor of London’s Outer London Fund (OLF). One particular project addresses the problem of plain security shutters and unattractive shop fronts in the town centre which can harm the visual appearance of an area and increase perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour. The majority of shutters are in good condition but require aesthetic enhancement to change their appearance to be more vibrant and welcoming as one walks through Barking. Artistic imaginary, illustrations, graphic designs, or the use of single bold colours could be added to several shutters. Individual shutters may reflect the shops merchandise, and relate to more extensive improvements to the signage and overall shop front appearance. Alternative options could also look at shop fronts and improving the visual appearance of existing signage, canopies or glazing, window installations, bespoke furniture, merchandise, sign writing, lighting and staff livery or product designs for better window displays. The total budget is £75,000 excluding VAT which needs to cover every element of the project including consultation and engagement, design, materials, manufacturing and installation. All funding must be spent by March 2014 but it is the intention that the project starts by the end of this year and is delivered by September 2013.

title: Science Museum: Antenna digital exhibit re-build

description:
The principal aim for this project is to develop and deliver a robust backend system for the Antenna future gallery exhibits. This solution should de-couple content delivery from web services, create a fully functioning, validated content management system and cache content onto local machines for delivery. At this moment we do not want to change the website frontend, so any recommendation would need to ensure this remains the same with new and updated content continuing to show (unless we can complete changes within the budget)

 Solutions can vary from a complete rebuild of the backend (from CMS to Flash frontend), to a re-working of the CMS so that the system becomes robust but the data structure is not effected. To re-iterate what is critical is:

 1. Validation at the CMS level and through the Frontend

 2. A more user-friendly CMS

 3. Human readable XML

 4. A system which fully caches content on local machines with the exhibit viewing it from here

 This project has been funded now because it is our intention to tour the exhibition, internationally. For this to happen, we have to ensure the stability of the digital elements.
