title: Provision of Healthcare services in British Transport Police and City of London Police Custody Suites

description: NHS England (London Region), British Transport Police (BTP) and City of London Police (CoLP) have agreed that they will voluntarily collaborate in the commissioning by the BTP and CoLP of custody healthcare in advance of the change in law to make NHS England responsible for the commissioning of police clinical and forensic custody healthcare. The commissioners require the following services to be delivered across both police forces: 1. Primary care healthcare services (medical and nursing) 2. Healthcare administration 3. Medicines management 4. Clinical waste management 5. Health promotion (including intervention and brief advice) 6. Continuity of care 7. Reduction of risk to detainees and persons coming into contact with them This remit, delivered in collaboration offers opportunities for consistency of commissioning and driving improvements in quality through a single outcome based service specification and single performance dashboard. The intention is to continue to meet resource efficiencies whilst maintaining high quality care in these challenging environments. The current healthcare contracts for each of the police custody suite healthcare services will continue until 31st July 2015; the new service is expected to begin on 1st August 2015. Following this procurement process, NHS England intends to award one contract across all sites. One integrated solution is being procured for this service and, therefore, this procurement is not divided into Lots. The contract will have an initial period of five (5) years which will be followed by two optional 12 month extension periods. Therefore if both of the optional extensions are taken up, the maximum contract period will be 84 months. The expected value of the contract is £729,000 (Ex VAT) per annum. Therefore the full (extended) contract will have maximum value of approximately £5,103,000 (Ex VAT). Interested Bidders are required to register on the NHS South of England Procurement Services (SoEPS) Commissioning Support e-tendering portal (link below and instructions attached) to access the PQQ documentation, express an interest and submit a PQQ response before the stated deadline. Additional information can be found in the Memorandum of Information (MOI) document attached to this advert. The PQQ documentation will be available for download on the e-tendering portal (link below) by 16:00 on 21st October 2014. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning The Services to which this requirement relates fall within Part B of Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (the Regulations) and Appendix II B to Council Directive 2004/18/EC. Neither the publication of the advertisement(s), the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage nor the use of the term “Pre-Qualification Questionnaire" nor any other indication (including any statement in the ITT) shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Part B services. NHS England will be using the "Restricted" tender process as a template for this "Part B" service procurement - see above.

description: The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the single, national housing and regeneration delivery agency for England. Our vision is to create opportunity for people to live in homes they can afford in places they want to live, by enabling local authorities and communities to deliver the ambition they have for their own areas.

This provision would be delivered at a range of venues. All learners would remain on their school roll and would participate in this alongside their GSCE programme. The additional / off-site provision would contribute to one or more of the following: · A recognised Vocational qualification · Personal motivational, behavioural and emotional support · Help in developing entrepreneurial and Employability Skills · Work readiness techniques including confidence building / CV preparation · Support in social and emotional skills · Intensive numeracy and literacy support (if required) · A work placement with a local employer The additional / off-site activities would be aligned and integrated to the young person's GSCE programme and timetable.

Each school would have the flexibility to integrate this off site provision to fit with their own timetables and school year. Some schools would look to integrate this off site provision throughout the academic year for some learners, while others will focus activity for learners in July (i.e. for Year 11s who have completed their GCSEs), after school or in school holidays. The provision would be flexible enough to meet the preferred delivery model for each school.

title: 7082 Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland: Historic Character Assessment

description: English Heritage wishes to commission a historic character assessment (report) of the area outside Portsmouth’s historic docks (i.e.: its historic hinterland). The aim is to enhance understanding of how this area developed over time, and specifically the extent to which its growth and character responded to the presence of the docks themselves, together with the associated establishments of Royal Clarence Yard, Priddy’s Hard and the Gun Wharf. Whilst much of this study area was rural when the docks were first established, today it is largely built over. The current peri-urban and rural hinterland of modern Portsmouth is to be included in the study. The impact of the docks can probably be traced beyond Portsea Island, into neighbouring parts of Hampshire, but a maximum limit of 10 miles from the historic core is advised. Individual sites lying beyond this, with a clear relationship to Portsmouth docks, may also be brought into the discussion. The project will be mostly desk based with some field verification. It will be similar to other area-based historic characterisation projects (notably the Gosport Urban Characterisation Study (NHPP 6444), which was commissioned from Oxford Archaeology through the Historic Towns and Suburbs activity in the National Heritage Protection Programme in order to map and assess how the town as a whole and its related military sites developed in the context of its rural hinterland), but will have a stronger thematic (as opposed to all-encompassing) approach.

title: National Pandemic Flu On-line Service Channel

description: The National Pandemic Flu Service (NPFS) is designed to supplement the response provided by primary care if pressures during an influenza pandemic mean that it is no longer practical for all those with symptoms to be individually assessed by a doctor or other prescribers in order to access antiviral medicines. The Department of Health, on behalf of Public Health England (an executive agency of the Department of Health) and the Devolved Administrations wishes to procure the following functional splits and explore with the market how these could be built into delivery models. This notice is in line with Cabinet Office lean procurement principles and seeks to engage early and actively with the market to explore how the Departments requirement for the NPFS online service could be achieved. Following internal and external engagement the Department is looking at two (2) potential contract delivery models which could achieve the outcomes required within an overarching risk structure informed by the business need, commercial elements and other pertinent elements. These two models are made up of seven (7) towers. The towers are Hosting Services, Back Office Services, Reporting Services, Front Office Services and then either a Systems Integration and Management (SIAM) or a ‘Managing Agent’. There will also be a requirement to manage two (2) service towers already in place, the NPFS telephony services and call centre providers. The first model is a Systems Integration and Management (SIAM). The SIAM would oversee the other four service towers ensuring end to end service delivery using a Collaboration Agreement. The service tower contracts along with the SIAM contract will be with the Department. The second model is a Managing Agent model. The Managing Agent approach would constitute the same four (4) work towers each contracted to the Department but will not require the Collaboration Agreement as the Managing Agent will have clear contractual responsibility to manage each of the towers on behalf of the Department. Public Health England is seeking views and observations on the contract delivery models through which the NPFS could be delivered based on the elements outlined in this description, more particularly the Department wishes to seek the markets view on a SIAM model managing the work towers with a collaboration agreement wrapped around the towers or a Managed Service model which would require the Managing Agent to work with the Department to procure the additional service towers and build them into the model and to manage the whole service. The Department is also looking to explore whether the work towers could be potentially delivered through GCloud or the Digital Services framework, which can be utilised for business as usual services but are likely to have limitations for a disaster recovery type service which the Department requires for the NPFS online service. The seven (7) service towers are: The SIAM comprising of the contract management and performance aspects of the requirement. The SIAM would manage the front office, hosting service, back office services and reporting services. The Collaboration Agreement would provide the contractual vehicle to manage the end to end service. The SIAM would also be required to manage two (2) additional service towers which are the NPFS telephony service and call centre providers. The SIAM would be expected to perform the first line of support for the service and to co-ordinate and manage 2nd and 3rd line. The Managing Agent comprising of the managing the other four (4) work towers on behalf of the Department. The Managing Agent would have a central and key role and would bare the contractual responsibility to ensure performance of the four (4) work towers (front office, back office, hosting and reporting services). The Managing Agent would also be required to manage two (2) additional service towers which are the telephony service and call centre provider Front office - this is the portal used by the public to enter their symptoms to get specific healthcare advice and if they symptomatic an authorisation number for anti-viral. It also provides a mediated portal used by call centre staff and non-GP healthcare personnel to enter patient assessments and if appropriate issue an authorisation number for anti-viral issuance. A GP channel is provided to allow issuance of anti-virals to a patient to be recorded without the need to complete an online symptom assessment. This would require development of the software, the IP of which would remain with PHE. The Hosting component on which the NPFS is built and hosted. Back office service- . Stock management service used by DH and NHS staff to manage and report on inventory levels of anti-virals at collection points, tracking orders and deliveries from centralised stocks. It also provides facilities for the administration of anti-viral collection points. Reporting services - an overall reporting solution with the following components - NPFS surveillance used by DH and key NHS staff to view fixed and ad-hoc reports regarding NPFS operation data collected. Telephony services – this contract is already in place and is the telephone call routing service and call capacity element of the NPFS response. Call centre providers – this contract is already in place and in the event of a pandemic provides call centre provision which enables a managed response to public calls seeking advice on symptoms and access to antivirals. The procurement is at the pre-tender stage. The purpose of which is to engage service providers understand the capabilities available to deliver the requirements and understand providers views on which models of delivery either the SIAM or the Managed Service model (each outlined above). The initial contract period will be 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years in 1 year increments. This notice is for information only and the Department of Health reserves the right to not proceed to tender, additionally the Department reserves the right to discontinue the tendering process and not to award the contract. The information contained in this notice, including information relating to the nature and scope of the Authority's requirements, the service classification of this requirement or the list of CPV codes, is only indicative of current thinking and is neither exhaustive nor binding and the Authority reserves the right at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue of any further notice or notices or at any other time. The publication of this notice in no way obliges the Authority to commence any competitive tender process. The Authority is not and shall not be liable for any costs incurred by those expressing an interest in participating in the market engagement exercise advertised in this notice. Those service providers that have an interest in engaging with the Authority should express an interest via email to Kerry.johnson@dh.gsi.gov.uk. The Department has additional information on the requirements and outlines below what these are and where to find them These meetings will be held on Wednesday 1st October 2014. Suppliers should register their interest by Monday 29th September 2pm. Details of the meeting location and start time will be provided to suppliers accordingly. When expressing an interest service providers should provide: (I) the contact details of the service providers representative (ii) a single paragraph summary of your organisations experience including whether you are a Small to Medium sized Enterprise (SME). This summary will be shared with other participants in order to promote discussion and assist the formation of partnerships where service providers wish to do so. The draft documents may have some cross references which are not accurate, sections which are not fully developed, some sections which may be repetitive (this is because each requirement is standalone), some omissions and all the drafts will require further work. However the Department is sharing these draft documents in good faith so genuine views on how this requirement can be delivered can be sought from the market. The Department is also making available two (2) pictorial diagrams of how each model could work, one for the SIAM Model and one for the Managing Agent Model.

title: Benefits of British Council International Programmes for Schools in Northern Ireland and Barriers to Participation.

description: The ‘UK Profile and Participation’ campaign, led by the executive board, recognises that the people of the UK are our primary purpose, our primary customers and our primary investors. It is important that they can see, understand, take part in and hold us to account for what we do in their name. In order to increase the participation level and reach schools we are not engaged with we want to identify the barriers for Northern Ireland schools that deter them from participating in British Council international programmes. In addition, we want to explore the benefits of engaging with British Council’s programmes for schools in Northern Ireland. Both findings will allow the British Council team to improve the communication with ‘non-engaged’ local schools that would better demonstrate the benefits of internationalisation and address the perceived barriers. In particular the British Council team in Northern Ireland wants to be able to speak confidently on how international work helps teachers to deliver Northern Ireland curriculum and contributes to raising school standards.

title: Personal Health Budget Advice Service

description: At the heart of a PHB is a support or care plan developed in partnership between a care planner and the individual. A care plan is a record of the discussions and agreements between the person and their health team including their health needs, the outcomes they want to achieve, how they intend to use their budget and how they will manage the plan. Many people will have clear views about how they want to use their PHB and will be able to plan without support or with the support of family and friends, however, others will need support. While clinicians need to be closely involved in support planning, pilots have generally found that individuals are better supported by an independent person, such as a support planner or broker. These independent advisors can help individuals identify their goals, research different ways of meeting those goals and ensure that clinical needs are adequately met. This is particularly important in continuing healthcare where individuals often have significant and complex needs. Support planners or brokers can also ensure that clinicians are brought into the support planning process from the beginning to discuss with individuals how their clinical needs can be best met in line with their wider support plan. NHS Surrey Downs, Surrey Heath, North West Surrey, East Surrey, Guildford and Waverley and North East Hampshire and Farnham CCGs have recognised the importance of support planning and brokerage services to support the effective implementation of Personal Health Budgets locally. The Advisory Service will assist budget holders to choose services to meet their health outcomes and develop a plan to describe these. For some budget holders the service will offer on-going support with the management of the plan and finances

It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. Core services include Procurement, Finance, Grants Admissions, Human Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery and Contact Centre teams. UK SBS is a people rather than task focused business. It’s what makes us different to the traditional transactional shared services centre. What is more, being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its customers, UK SBS’ goals are aligned with the public sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer. UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. 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: GB-Stevenage: The Provision of a Sex, Relationships and Aspirations Programme for Young Women

description: Hertfordshire County Council is working to prevent teenage pregnancy in the county. Our strategy for 2014-15 is to target those young people who are most vulnerable to teenage pregnancy, which includes young women with identified risk factors and those living in the areas of the county which have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy: Stevenage, Broxbourne and Watford. Our previous work indicates that programmes which help young women to build their aspirations and wellbeing, and encourage them think about how to build healthy relationships, are an effective way of preventing teenage pregnancy. We therefore would like to commission a targeted programme to work with at risk young women in the three target districts, which covers these topics. This programme would aim to prevent teenage pregnancy in the young women participating; and also to demonstrate the impact of this work with a view to potentially securing sustainable funding for future years. This programme complements a similar piece of work that we are also commissioning, targeting young men.
