The Centre for Public Health Excellence (CPHE) at NICE wishes to commission fieldwork to test the forthcoming draft recommendations in the update of public health guidance on Needle and syringe programmes (PH18), originally published in 2009.

title: GB-London: High Speed Broadband in Council-Owned Residential Properties

description: Introduction: Wandsworth Borough Council is seeking expressions of interest from suitable experienced and competent suppliers for a concession contract with the aim of improving the provision of Broadband in the Council’s housing stock. This is predominantly aimed at the social housing dwellings contained in various council owned multi dwelling units. The key aspiration is for all of the Council’s residents to be connected and be able to access the Council’s online services and wider Government online services. It is envisaged that the Council will let a concession contract to the chosen Concessionaire that will allow the Council to realise their requirements and for the Concessionaire to be able to recoup their costs within a documented business model that would align with the Council’s expected benefits. The Council proposes to allow the broadband internet partner (the “Operator”) non-exclusive access to the Council-owned properties to build a structure to allow high speed broadband to all Council tenants. It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded in early 2014 and will last for a period of five years with the option to extend for up to a further two years subject to mutual agreement. Expressing an interest To express an interest in the opportunity, suppliers must submit a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (“PQQ”) which is available at www.supply4london.gov.uk.

title: Research into the reasons why few consumers refer their complaint to Ombudsman Services: Energy

description:
Energy suppliers are subject to Complaints Handling Standard Regulations (CHSR) set by Ofgem. They apply to complaints from domestic customers and micro businesses. The CHSR place detailed requirements on energy companies. In particular, a complaint cannot be closed unless there remains no outstanding action to be taken and it has been resolved to the satisfaction of the customer. If they cannot do this the customer can ask the statutory redress scheme approved by Ofgem, Ombudsman Services: Energy (OS:E) to investigate.

 Our requirement is for a supplier to carry out research with consumers who have complained to their energy supplier to understand: why only a small number of them ask the Ombudsman to investigate their complaint; and what would encourage them to do so in future.

 The overarching objective of this work is to ensure that any perceived or actual barriers which deter consumers from seeking the assistance of the Ombudsman at the appropriate stage of the process are removed. Full details of the requirement are set out in the ITT.

title: Mutuals Support Programme Lewisham Council Rushey Green Early Childhood Centre Contract

description: Rushey Green Early Childhood Centre (the “Potential PSM”) is a nursery service seeking to spin out of Lewisham Council (the “Parent Body”). They have a turnover of approx £0.5m and there are 23 members of staff - all staff are currently full time, however, the Potential PSM intend to have a variety of posts available in the future including, full time and term-time positions. Following a decision by the Parent Body to no longer provide nursery services in house, the services managers of the “Potential PSM” developed an outline business case (please see separate attachment for outline business case) in September 2012 to take the service out and run it independently - this was successful and the “Parent Body” funded initial market testing which indicated viability (market testing has been covered within the outline business plan – please see separate attachment). The Parent Body has indicated that the ‘go live’ date is 1 September 2013 and are therefore keen to have a clearer way forward on the legal structure of the mutual – including employee terms and conditions, sick pay policy and pensions . The Potential PSM has not received any legal advice on these matters and to date, no work has been undertaken by the Parent Body’s HR team on HR matters. The joint service managers for the Potential PSM have however undertaken a small amount of desk research on staff terms and conditions. The Parent Body are supportive of the Potential PSM and working co-operatively over matters around asset transfer and leasing. Initial discussions on leasing options for the building, have been held, but as yet, no formal negotiations have taken place. Staff are eager for the mutual project to succeed and committed to continue to deliver independent of the Parent Body. The “Potential PSM” receives no other finding from the Parent Body as it competes in a market for nursery places – there is currently a lengthy waiting list (please see separate attachment for nursery fee chart). They offer a variety of childcare places and are referred vulnerable families (including homeless families, children with special needs, low income families) by health professionals and have achieved an ‘outstanding’ OFSTED rating. The Potential PSM is led by the joint service managers who have successfully run it for the past 13 years (both service managers work full time and will continue to do so). They have a clear picture of their ingoings and outgoings (please see separate attachment for financial plan). They are used to managing their service (both from a delivery and a budget management perspective) and operating in a market. They are aware that they will need to develop skills via their board, in order to build on commercial experience, secure working capital and focus on growth.

The delivery model may be by a single organisation, an organisation with sub contracting arrangements or via a consortium bid. All approaches are welcomed.

title: Return on investment tool for interventions and strategies to increase physical activity

description: The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE or ‘the institute’) is an independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance on promoting good health and preventing and treating disease. Within NICE the Centre for Public Health Excellence (CPHE) is responsible for producing public health guidance. In July 2011 NICE was asked by the Department of Health to develop a prototype model for local authority commissioners showing the potential return on investment (ROI) for health improvement interventions. The initial work which focused on tobacco control was published in October 2012 and is available on the NICE website at http://www.nice.org.uk/usingguidance/implementationtools/returnoninvesment/TobaccoROITool.jsp. The CPHE would like to appoint a contractor to develop a further ROI tool on interventions and strategies to increase physical activity. This tool should estimate the gross and net cost savings that could be achieved by having local interventions and strategies in a given geographical area e.g. region, county or local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). The tool should have a user friendly interface that allows users to explore the short, medium and long term impact of different combinations of interventions and strategies (i.e. to explore the impact of different scenarios). The contractor will be provided with funding to develop the ROI tool, accompanying technical reports and user guides, and may be required to attend up to three regional workshops to demonstrate use of the tool and provide help and support to those using it. The contractor will be multidisciplinary and capable of providing high quality analyses and evidence to decision makers within very tight timescales. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for a high calibre team to contribute to the work of the Institute.

description: X-ray diffraction for portable through barrier material identification. This is an opportunity for fundamental research into a novel application of X-ray diffraction. Unlike laboratory based instruments and security screeners, we seek to develop a portable system for our Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) user. During normal duties, they will encounter suspect containers that cannot be touched or moved. The proposed system must therefore be deployed around a suspect container and supply material identification and location of its contents. The information provided must be unambiguous and have a high level of assurance so that it can be used to inform the EOD user’s decision making process. The study proposed will assess this concept and identify the likely challenges to its development. It will then provide an opportunity for research and development to be carried out to overcome these challenges. The work will culminate with the design of a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 equipment.

Service 1: Raglan House (in Kentish Town) and Netherwood (in Kilburn) are the building bases for specialist day opportunities for people with advanced dementia. Customers will have critical or substantial needs under Fair Access to Care Services, and will pay for their service via a personal budget. The Council commissions 290 places per week across both centres. The management of these services is delegated to Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust under a Section 75 agreement. Service 2: This service provides consistent contact and befriending support to isolated people with dementia. Volunteer befrienders support individuals with all levels of dementia to engage in activities inside or outside the home; whilst providing a consistent and sometimes long term link for them and their carers. This service is NHS-funded, people will not pay for the service through personal budgets and may not have substantial or critical needs under FACS. Service 3: This service provides high-quality information and signposting to people with dementia, their carers and families after diagnosis. The aim of the dementia adviser service is to provide people with a named contact throughout their journey with dementia. Support provided through these services enable people with dementia to continue to participate in mainstream community life and live well with dementia for as long as possible. Prior to tendering these services we wish to consult with the market about our proposals. We would be grateful if interested organisations could complete a questionnaire and return it to us. Please request a questionnaire by e-mail to inez.cifuentes@camden.gov.uk. Please submit your response by the close of business on 10 April 2013.
