title: Research Contract: PDG Competition 10

description: Programme Grants for Applied Research are prestigious awards of up to £2m over a period of three to five years, the aim of which is to: • Provide evidence to improve health outcomes in England through promotion of health, prevention of ill health, and optimal disease management (including safety and quality), with particular emphasis on conditions causing significant disease burden, where other research funders may not be focused, or there is insufficient funding available • Enable NHS bodies and other providers of NHS services to tackle areas of high priority or need • Provide some stability of funding to support the long-term development of top quality applied research groups working in the NHS Although a large number of Programme Grant awards have been made to applications of high quality, a large proportion of the applications reviewed by the NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research Selection Panel are significantly flawed. One of the areas of weakness identified by the Selection Panel has been the tendency for applications to be submitted at too early a stage in the development of the research programme. For example, although the application may address an important topic, the applicants fail to provide convincing data on the need for the research, or are unable to demonstrate its practicability by presenting the results of pilot or feasibility studies, or have not assembled a team with the necessary track record. Under these circumstances, the Selection Panel is unable to recommend a Programme Grant award, despite the obvious potential for a high quality research programme in the relevant area. The sole purpose of NIHR Programme Development Grants is to address this problem by providing funding of £20k to £100k (over a period of 6 – 18 months), to enable a research team to develop and refine its research plans, obtain empirical justification for discrete elements of the future programme, or further develop existing collaborative expertise. Successful completion of the development work funded via the Programme Development Grant should enable a research team to position itself for a successful Programme Grant application in a subsequent funding competition. Applicants for NIHR Programme Development Grants will need to: 1. Describe the future programme of research to be undertaken should (later) a Programme Grant be awarded, and 2. Detail the development work to be undertaken, indicating how this would enable the research team to deliver a credible application to the NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research funding scheme in due course.

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 Frontend2. A more user-friendly CMS3. Human readable XML4. A system which fully caches content on local machines with the exhibit viewing it from hereThis 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. (MT Ref:105361)

This is a continuation of that work and it is important that this work delivers an open Lean Services standard for all potential MOD suppliers to use. This innovative technology allows the opportunity for collective working and supports the technological advancement that has been undertaken to date. Open Standards are strongly encouraged by the Government White Paper on Technology. The existing IPR for Lean Services is held by 2iC Ltd, however the output from this contract will be openly available. The Authority intends to place a single source contract with 2iC Ltd for the development of the Lean Services standard and test that it is a fully open standard freely available in the public domain. This company has the required level of previous knowledge of Lean Services. The contract will build on previous CDE funded work carried out by 2iC Ltd. A deliverable of this work will be the definition and testing of the Lean Services Specification and publication on a dedicated Lean Services website making it publically available for MOD and industry to both use and comment on. ‘Java and C++ Software Development Kits’ will also be made available on the public Lean Service website. This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice advises that the Authority has decided to negotiate a contract with the named supplier on a single source basis, and is published for reasons of transparency.

 Implementation and Test: The entire infrastructure will need to be built in conjunction with the existing CRI IT Infrastructure Staff. Once built this will need to be performance and disaster recovery tested for all scenarios.

 Migration Plan: The new infrastructure needs to interoperate with the existing infrastructure and a migration plan needs to be created for all current users, data and existing databases to move from the existing infrastructure onto the new whilst still being able to communicate with all employees on either system. Training will be required for all users to familiarise themselves with the new system and all IT Staff to support the new infrastructure.

title: Approved Provider List for Community Home Care Services

description:
West Berkshire Council previously advertised on 14 November 2012 and consequently established an Approved Provider List (APL) for Community Home Care services for adults either delivered to people in their home or accompanying people to other locations as specified in the individual’s Care Plan. As part of the original advertisement, it was stated that this APL was an ‘open’ listing, meaning that new Service Providers would have the opportunity to apply to join the APL at 6 monthly intervals through this Portal. In addition, during these intervals, providers who already sit on the APL would be allowed the opportunity to review their current fixed pricing in order to offer competitive pricing. This is the first of the six-monthly interval opportunities for both existing APL providers and new providers wishing to maintain or apply to be listed on the Approved Provider List (APL).

 The full scope of the required care is defined in the Care Plan but may include the following elements:

 - Domiciliary/Home care

 - Personal care

 - Live in care

 - End of life care

 - Reablement

 Community Home Care services will be commissioned only from West Berkshire Council’s Approved Provider List. The service will be required every day of the year including Bank and Public Holidays (which will be deemed as a normal working day). The service will need to be flexible and delivered according to each person’s Care Plan – to include where required 24 hours per day for live in care requirements.

Following the evaluation of the Invitation to Tender submitted tenders, any tender that is accepted will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender in accordance with the tender award criteria. It is Leicester City Council’s intention that up to six of the highest scoring tenderers scoring above 65% overall in accordance with the tender award criteria, will be awarded the Framework Agreement. The requirement is for each organisation awarded the Framework Agreement to provide the following Services: • Initial Support and Set Up • Recruitment and Selection Support • Payroll Services and Employment Advice • Managed Accounts Leicester City Council is undertaking an open tender process in line with Competitive Contract Notice Part “B” Services. The Framework Agreement will initially be for a period of 2 years, anticipated to commence on 01 April 2014, with the possibility to extend for a period or successive period of +1 +1 years at the sole discretion of the Council. Services will be called-off from the Framework Agreement during the period of the Framework Agreement.

Tenderers are advised that in certain circumstances, when the Framework Agreement is utilised, it is the preliminary view of the Council that Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) Regulations 2006 is unlikely to apply in respect of staff supplied under the current arrangements if there is a transfer of the contract to a new contractor. However, it is the existing provider’s view that TUPE will apply to this contract. Applicants are strongly advised to obtain professional advice about TUPE and pensions.

title: Health Support Services for Looked After Children

description: Staffordshire County Council, in conjunction with and its NHS Clinical Commissioning Group Partners, is carrying out a tendering exercise and are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified organisations to provide a high quality, outcome focussed and holistic health assessment and support service for Looked After Children. Support for foster/adoptive parents and residential units may also fall in scope. It is our vision that these services will provide support at the earliest available opportunity, and better link the process of statutory health assessments with subsequent planning of additional health care & support services effectively in a cohesive & timely manner. We want to streamline the way services that support some of our most vulnerable children are provided, and work effectively to help young people in care live healthy, independent lives and be able to take responsibility for their own good health. We envisage this will involve consideration of review health assessments for those young people who are reluctant to engage with Health Services, other specialist support services like emotional wellbeing and mental health support, but also require providers to take a broader view to make links to support available from the community, universal services, and less formal advice & support services across the whole spectrum of health provision, as required to meet the needs of the young people. Tender documents relating to this exercise will be released in late January following a launch event to be held in Stafford. Please register your interest by emailing the contact given below by no later than 23rd January 2014.

title: Leeds E-ACT Academies - Catering Contract

description: E-ACT's two academies in Leeds (Leeds West Academy (LWA) and E-ACT Leeds East Academy (LEA)) are intending to tender their catering services very shortly with the new service expected to commence on Tuesday 22nd April 2014 following the Easter break. Although the contract for each Academy will be let as a separate lot or entity, it is hoped that bidders can demonstrate sufficient operational and financial benefits such that E-ACT decide to appoint a single contractor to manage both academies' catering services concurrently. However E-ACT reserve the right to appoint to 2 separate contractors if this is deemed to be appropriate following evaluation of received tenders. The tender value shown therefore equates to the lower sum for the smaller academy over 5 years, and the larger to both academies. In both instances, the appointed Service Partner will be expected to fully identify with the declared aspirations of each Academy, sharing in their desire to deliver a consistently high quality of products and services to our students, staff, visitors and all other users. At both locations, we are keen to promote freshly cooked food and a healthy diet using locally sourced and high quality ingredients The Academies expect that their partnerships will extend beyond the normal parameters of the “client : contractor” relationship and the provision of core catering services. To this end, the Service Partner will be expected to adopt a truly proactive role such as supporting the provision of an apprenticeship placement within the kitchen at LWA, other “real-life” service opportunities for students, social skills modelling and involvement in the wider academy curriculum and other general activities. Both academies are co-educational, non-denominational and will admit students aged between 11 and 18. The Academies plan for the number of students at LWA to increase to from the current 1,191 to approximately 1,500 over a period of 3 years and at LEA to increase from the current 617 to approximately 1,100 over a period of 4 years. We are now looking for expressions of interest from experienced contractors to tender for either, or both of these contracts. The individual contracts will be let for an initial three year period with an option to extend for a further two single years. Please download the attached documents for further information and the PQQ form.

title: The Evaluation of the ‘Digital Social Research’ Programme

description: 1. The ESRC e Social Science Programme was set up to develop and promote the use of e Science to benefit social science research. In 2004, the Programme funded the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS). This was a distributed Centre with a ‘hub’ at the University of Manchester and a network of eight research ‘nodes’ spread across the UK. Following an ESRC review of the NCeSS in 2009, it was decided to replace the hub with a National Strategic Directorate to develop a co-ordinated e-social science strategy. At this stage, the programme’s name was changed from e-Social Science to Digital Social Research (DSR). This evaluation will assess the quality, achievements and impact of the Digital Social Research Programme, which consisted of: • the National Strategic Director for e-Social Science; • the strategic investments funded as part of the Digital Social Research Programme between 2010-2012; • and the eight ‘node’ projects that were originally funded through NCeSS and continued as part of the DSR Programme. The evaluation will also assess the effectiveness of the DSR Directorate and Research Programme model as a means of organising and enhancing the work. Please refer to the attached documentation for the full specification.
