title: Fast Track Domiciliary Care Services

description: NHS Sheffield CCG is looking to commission a service that will provide domiciliary care for service users in their own homes. In many cases the service users will be in the last days or weeks of their lives. This will be by scheduled visits, principally between 6am and 11pm but some service users may also require care overnight, seven days a week. The service will provide this care on a flexible, rapid and occasionally crisis basis in order to accommodate the changing needs of the individual with specialist palliative care needs. The service will be provided in conjunction with other NHS mainstream services (e.g. district nurses) and voluntary providers, and as such the Provider will need to work in an integrated, collaborative manner, at both an organisational level and an individual patient level. In addition, Sheffield CCG has commissioned a ‘Roaming Night’ service to support people to live at home, and many of the patients supported in this way are having end of life care. The Provider will work collaboratively with the organisation providing the Roaming Night Care, prioritising meeting the patient’s needs. The service will also provide care for service users who are not approaching the end of their lives. The CCG arranges most domiciliary care by way of the Local Authority and this arrangement is expected to continue. However, a small number of service users, who are eligible for care funded by the CCG, have complex needs which cannot be met under the Local Authority Contracts. Providers who successfully tender for these contracts, will be required to provide care for these service users, which may include activities which extend beyond traditional domiciliary care. For example, it could include accompanying a service user to access community facilities.

There may also be a requirement for further quantitative work if knowledge gaps are identified but this would be procured separately as part of separate tender exercise.

title: Independent Evaluation of the new approach to Mental Health services inspections and Mental Health act monitoring

description: New Approach to the Regulation of Mental Health Services and Monitoring of the Mental Health Act As part of the above Strategy, CQC are developing differentiated regulation for each of the sectors it regulates. Having piloted the overall approach in NHS Acute Hospitals, CQC is now beginning to test the approach in mental health services. This work is being led by the Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Professor Sir Mike Richards and the Deputy Chief Inspector with responsibility for mental health services, Dr Paul Lelliott. In the past, Mental Health Act monitoring has been separated from the regulation of mental health services, with visits to providers taking place independently of regulatory inspections. As part of the new approach, CQC will be integrating its monitoring of the Mental Health Act with the regulation of mental health services. Proposals for our new regulatory model for mental health services have been discussed with key stakeholders and people who use mental health services. We have incorporated these views into our own thinking in developing a new approach which we are now seeking to test.

title: Any Qualified Provider (AQP) MSK Physiotherapy service – Adults (over 16) for NHS Medway CCG

description: This notice relates to the procurement of a community AQP MSK Physiotherapy service – Adults (over 16) for NHS Medway CCG (the Commissioner). The Commissioner is a group of 58 GP practices from across the Medway towns, serving a practice population of 283,000. The Commissioner is supported in this project by the AQP Support Hub (the CSU) which is managing this procurement. To provide a comprehensive, high quality, evidence based service that has a strong focus on the measurement of quality of provision from point of entry into the service, through to patient outcomes. The AQP service will be patient-centred, offering choice and easy access to locally delivered community clinics, which will provide a high quality, efficient service in line with national guidance and local requirements. Please note that under ‘Any Qualified Provider’ contracts there will be no guarantees of volume in the contracts awarded. Further, prices (e.g. hourly rates) are set. In England, as in the rest of the world, MSK conditions are common, and are a major cause of ill-health, pain and disability. It is estimated that nearly one-quarter of adults are affected by longstanding MSK problems, such as arthritis, that limit everyday activities. MSK conditions are the most common reason for repeat consultations with a GP, making up to 30% of primary care consultations. There are over 200 MSK conditions, often progressive, most of which cause pain and a range of disabilities in adults. They include well recognised conditions such as arthritis or back pain; traumatic injuries such as fractures, which are a major cause of pain, distress and disability; and other conditions that are a result of genetic and/or developmental abnormalities. They can be self-limiting or long-term disabling conditions. Minor, often self-limiting episodes of pain around the joints, particularly the back, neck, shoulders and knees are very common. Casual factors include conditions such as osteoarthritis as well as accident or injury. More disabling and/or chronic MSK disorders include: • Osteoarthritis and related disorders • Osteoporosis and associated fragility fractures • The results of severe trauma, e.g. amputation of limb, pelvic fracture, multiple injuries • Rheumatoid arthritis and related chronic inflammatory diseases • Other auto-immune rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma and vasculitis • Haemoglobinopathies • Chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia Rapid access to MSK practitioners can reduce the amount of time people are off sick and is vital in preventing a new acute problem becoming chronic and long lasting. The Service Commencement date is 01 December 2014. However, the commissioners would like a two week period of double running with the current incumbents, to ensure service continuity, from 17 November 2014 to 01 December 2014. The Standard NHS Contract 2014/15 can be found at: http://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-standard-contract/ Potential Providers are asked to please note the following: Providers should read the Qualification Information document and all other supporting documents, available for download on Bravo, prior to filling out the Bravo application form, paying attention to the guidance therein.

title: RM3160 – SB1313 Provision of a Effusive Eruptions Aviation Impacts Project

description: Following the Icelandic eruptions of 2010 and 2011 renewed focus has been placed on the possible impacts of future volcanic eruptions on air travel. This new awareness of volcanic hazards to the performance of critical UK infrastructures caused volcanic hazards to be added to the National Risk Register (NRR), the register of most significant risks to national security. An effusive eruption similar to the Laki eruption of 1783 could result in large amounts of compounds such as SO2 being released into the atmosphere. In large enough quantities SO2 is harmful to human health, particularly those with existing respiratory problems. An effusive eruption would have wide ranging consequences and impact on many sectors within the UK. Due to this cross cutting nature the Cabinet Office leads the Government response to this risk. The DfT is a key stakeholder in the Cabinet Office’s effusive eruption programme and is engaged in collaborative work with OGD’s to improve the modelling and forecasting of gases and aerosols following an eruption. The aim of this study is to model the infiltration of gasses and/or aerosols from effusive (gaseous) volcanic eruptions into a typical commercial aircraft cabin. These findings will be used to identify the risks to passenger and air crew health. The study will also provide a preliminary examination of the potential impacts of these aerosols on the aircraft and engines.

description: The current fume cupboards are listed on the NOCS schedule (LEV 2014) in Appendix 3. They are also shown on the ventilation schematics in Appendix 2. The units are to be located and surveyed. All current connected services are to be recorded, with details of the locations and routes of all gases, domestic water installations, extract systems and fans, drainage systems and associated make-up air. Specific cabinet controls are also to be recorded. All of the above associated services and systems are to be examined to establish if they are serviceable or not. A user group is being established by NOCS Estates. Detailed briefing with the users to establish the current and any future requirements will be required to understand the user’s current and future needs and how this will impact on the selection and replacement of each unit. Contact with the persons within the group is again to be organised through NOCS Estates. The future operation of the fume cupboards and associated systems must also be compliant with the operation of NOCS from a NOCS Estates perspective, i.e. 1. Where possible, existing extract ductwork is to be re-used. 2. All of the existing fume extract fans located on the fan decks, were changed some five years ago, so where possible, these are to be re-used. 9 3. The site has a relatively new BMS. This system monitors and controls all fume extract and supply systems. These controls are to be recorded and where change occurs, controls and front graphics are to change accordingly. 4. Where all other services are serviceable, they are to be re-used. 5. If new domestic services and drainage are required, these are to be taken from the appropriate Node, as per the building conformity and as advised by NOC Estates. 6. If new, or improved extract systems are required, then these will need close inspection to establish the routes through the MEDA floors, entry into the Nodes, vertical access to the fan decks and vertical discharge to outside. Where new systems are employed, the supply air make-up systems into the rooms are to be investigated and changed where necessary.

Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.

title: A Better Start Learning and Dissemination Workstream

description: There is strong evidence that the first few years of life build the foundations for future health and wellbeing and it is believed that taking a preventative approach together with systems changes in local agencies, can improve the life chances of babies and children. However, these interventions have yet to be tested at scale. Thus, Big Lottery Fund has invested £215M in funding A Better Start (ABS) in order to improve understanding about effective early childhood intervention in five competitively selected areas across England: Bradford (Bradford Trident), Blackpool (NSPCC) Lambeth (National Children’s Bureau - NCB), Nottingham (Nottingham City Care) and Southend (Pre-School Learning Alliance), lead Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations for which are listed in brackets. These geographical areas have a high level of need in terms of deprivation, educational achievement and child health. Big Lottery Fund wishes to use the learning from this investment to promote a shift in public policy, public funding and agency culture away from remedial services to greater investment in prevention in pregnancy and the first few years of life. Through a dual approach, each area will deliver science- and evidence-based preventative programmes, policies and services, with a focus on the most disadvantaged families. Investment will take place in antenatal and postnatal support programmes that set out to achieve one or more of the following: (i) improve a child’s social and emotional development – preventing harm before it happens (including abuse and/or safeguarding, neglect, perinatal mental health and domestic violence) as well as those that promote good attunement and attachment; (ii) improve their language development – developing skills in parents to talk, read and sing to, and particularly to praise – their babies and toddlers and to ensure local childcare services emphasise language development; or (iii) improve their nutrition and reduce obesity – starting out by encouraging breast-feeding and promoting good nutritional practices. The evidence suggests that these three areas can have a significant impact on long-term life chances and outcomes. Each area will also need to address systems change across all children and families agencies. The systems changes should deliver less bureaucratic, more joined-up services; services that are prevention-focused; that are needs-led and demand-led; that work for a whole family; and that get it right for families first time. In order to do this, Big Lottery Fund has also invested in the Warwick Consortium to conduct a 10-year study designed to evaluate the impact of ABS across these five selected intervention areas (and comparison sites).

title: Hoveton Wetlands Restoration Project – zooplankton and phytoplankton survey

description: Successful biomanipulation of the broads is expected to be key to achieving their restoration to a clear-water, macrophyte dominated state. Since the ultimate goal of biomanipulation is to significantly alter the zooplankton and phytoplankton community (through the significant reduction of predation on zooplankton), it is important to record the changes in these communities as the project progresses. Before lake restoration begins, zooplankton and phytoplankton surveys are required to establish the baseline composition and abundance of these communities in the lakes, and to have some understanding of the variation of these communities throughout the year. Water samples will also need to be taken for analysis by the EA for water quality parameters. The successful bidder will be required to carry out baseline zooplankton and phytoplankton monitoring in 2014 and produce a survey report detailing the findings and providing all raw data in excel format
