title: Putting the child at the heart of child protection: Piloting and Evaluating the ‘See Me Hear Me’ Framework

description: The remit of the Children’s Commissioner, in respect of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and specifically Articles 3, 12 and 19, is to promote the best interests of the child, protect children’s rights, and promote awareness of their views and interests. . This project follows our two year Inquiry into child sexual exploitation in gangs and groups (CSEGG) and reflects our long-standing concern about the protection of children from child sexual exploitation and other forms of child abuse. This is a 18 month project reporting finally at the end of September 2016. On the basis of the evidence gathered during the CSEGG Inquiry, this project is commissioned in order to pilot the Office of the Children’s Commissioner’s framework for responding to child sexual exploitation in gangs and groups – the ’See Me Hear Me’ framework. The key objectives to be addressed through this project are: 1. To improve identification and protection of children who have been sexually abused through a child-centred approach 2. To test the efficacy of the ‘See Me Hear Me’ framework in placing the child at the heart of agencies’ responses to child sexual exploitation specifically and other child protection matters more generally. The work will be informed throughout by the perspectives of children and young people and will contribute to the policy and practice agenda, in particular to the work of the Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs), multi-agency safeguarding hubs, and central government departments over coming years.

About UK Shared Business Services Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. 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. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications.

title: FS102080 Desk based study on potential alternatives for permitted preservatives

description: The aim of this desk-based study is to gather and assess information on potential alternatives to currently permitted preservatives. Overall the project links to the FSA Strategy outcome “Food produced or sold in the UK is safe to eat”, more specifically the priority on horizon scanning. The project also links into the FSA’s Science and Evidence Strategy priority activity theme “Identifying and obtaining the information we need” since the outcomes of the project may be taken into account when developing UK policy on food additives. This project comes under the Additives sub-programme, which is part of the Chemical Safety Programme. The aim of the additives sub-programme is to provide information to ensure the use of food additives, processing aids, flavourings and food enzymes does not prejudice food safety. Information and evidence is also required to underpin policy work in these areas. The aim of the project is to examine the availability and feasibility of alternative approaches to the currently permitted preservatives. Currently the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is re-evaluating all food additives which may result in some changes to currently permitted authorisations. Therefore this project should examine alternative processing techniques, new food additives under development and also food additives which may be permitted outside the European Union . In addition, any limitations with current preservative techniques (food additives or processing methods) should be assessed.


title: MEBTI GAS CYCLINDER STORAGE

description: CAST routinely uses compressed gas cylinders and there is already a storage facility on site, however this storage facility is not suitable for the speciality gas mixtures used for a specific project. The MEBTI (Mobile Evidential Breath Testing Instrument) Project requires certified gaseous mixtures of ethanol, carbon dioxide and synthetic air. These are used to simulate the breath profile of a driver who is under the influence of alcohol. The artificial breath sample, of a known ethanol concentration, is delivered to an evidential instrument or screening device, and used to confirm whether the instrument/device gives the correct response. The cylinders used for this purpose are provided by BOC Ltd and certified by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). The calibration certificates generated by NPL state: ‘Store above the maximum calculated hydrocarbon dew point: 7°C’. The implication is that the calibration is void, and the ethanol concentration no longer known/certified, if the cylinders are exposed to temperatures below 7°C. The HCDP is the temperature at which the hydrocarbon(s) (in this case ethanol) in a gas mixture will start to condense to a liquid. Below 7°C, the ethanol may be leaving the gas phase to form liquid droplets on the inside of the container, reducing the gaseous concentration from the certified value. It is not known if all the ethanol can be returned to the gas phase upon warming the cylinder, nor how long this would take even if it were possible. Therefore the cylinders cannot be stored below 7°C. The main cylinder storage at CAST is outside, where the temperature is neither monitored nor controlled. The MEBTI cylinders therefore need to be stored in a facility where the environmental conditions can be adequately controlled and monitored. CAST is seeking to appoint a supplier capable of converting an existing brick built building at the CAST Sandridge site in St Albans into a bespoke compressed gas cylinder store. The specialist nature of the gases to be stored requires the environment in which they are stored to be controlled which is why an internal store is required.

title: Newquay to London Public Service Obligation.

description: Cornwall Council is seeking to procure the services of an airline Operator to provide a scheduled air service between Newquay Cornwall Airport and a London Area Airport (LON). LON has been defined by the Department for Transport (DfT) as any airport that can access transport zone 1 of London within 60 minutes by rail. This will be conducted using an EU Open Procurement procedure with a 2 month tender return period as prescribed in the Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community. Newquay Cornwall Airport has been owned by Cornwall Council and operated by Cornwall Airport Limited, a Private Limited Organisation wholly owned by Cornwall Council, since 2007. The airport experienced passenger levels as high as 400 000 per annum (2008) but has suffered significant reductions in numbers through the recession. In 2012/13 the airport received 170 000 passengers with about 100 000 on the route between Newquay and London, Gatwick. The figures for 2013/14 show an increase to approx. 190 000 total passengers. This declining market has led to the two main Operators announcing their withdrawal from providing London services. The services to London, Gatwick, currently in operation are due to end on 25.10.2014. As the London route provides most passenger numbers at the airport, it is likely that there would be a significant reduction in jobs at the airport and elsewhere in Cornwall if the London service ceased. The significant reduction in passenger numbers could result in the required Council subsidy to continue airport operations becoming unsustainable, which would lead to the closure of the airport to scheduled services. From estimates, this reduction in employment alone would reduce Cornwall GVA by 48.6m GBP, taking account of direct jobs and indirect GVA. Newquay Cornwall Airport has been in discussions with other possible Operators, but no new Operator has committed to operating a service between Newquay and London beyond 25.10.2014. Feedback from one potential Operator stressed that the route was not commercially viable because flight prices would be too high to achieve the required passenger numbers. Cornwall Council submitted a Public Service Obligation (PSO) eligibility proposal to the Department for Transport (DfT) in October 2013 for appointment of an air Operator to provide a twice daily (morning and evening) return service to a central London Airport from/to Newquay Cornwall Airport. DfT approved the proposal on 24.10.2013. It is intended that a single contract shall be awarded to one Tenderer to provide the Services. Estimated value excluding VAT: 4 000 000 GBP

description: London Borough of Hounslow’s Thriving Communities agenda takes the objective of achieving better outcomes for all residents as its starting point. The overarching goal is to support and further develop strong and thriving communities and the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector within the borough. The services that we are now commissioning for the period 2015 to 2017 / 2019 (this is for a two (2) year period with an option to extend for an additional 2 years subject to funding) will help us to achieve the desired outcomes while also delivering wider Council and partner objectives that positively impact on residents’ lives and reduce demand for statutory services experiencing financial cutbacks. All commissioned services will work towards three key outcomes: Outcome 1: A vibrant, self-sustaining and ambitious Voluntary Community Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Hounslow Outcome 2: Empowered residents and communities actively shaping their local area and enhancing civic pride Outcome 3: Enabling independence and resilience by building the skills, resources and capacity of residents, neighbourhoods and communities. Additionally, we have identified 15 key outcomes that we expect to see delivered through the 9 commissioned services (see Appendix- Key Service Outcomes). Within this larger set of service outcomes, each contract will have specific core outcomes we expect will be delivered over the term of the contract. We have adopted a new, integrated outcomes-based commissioning approach that is informed by the growing prevalence of some complex or long-term conditions and needs and the effects of population growth and demographic changes. Currently the Council is faced with ever tightening budgets which require removing any service duplication and The Thriving Communities Funding Plan also details the core principles of sustainability; engaged and resilient communities; quality of services transparency; proportionality, monitoring and evaluation; and achieving together through partnership working. To provide a service that supports residents into quality volunteering opportunities within the borough. The service will engage the long term unemployed, young people, those with disabilities and hard to reach groups. Support VCSOs within Hounslow to access appropriate volunteers to increase the effectiveness and capacity of their service. The service will work to raise the profile of volunteering in the borough and work to support a culture of local ‘giving’.

title: Community Pain Management Service

description: To commission a community-based pain management service, for the adult populations of South Cheshire and Vale Royal. The key aim of the service is to provide patients living with persistent pain with timely, high quality, skilled interventions to treat and reduce or remove the cause(s) of pain and/or enable patients (and their carers) to manage their pain with psychological and behavioural support that aids functional rehabilitation. Community pain management services should consist of a multi-disciplinary team that can deal with patients physical, psychological and social needs; associated with pain. It should look to ensure that patients experiencing chronic pain syndrome do not need to be managed in secondary care settings, or where they do need specialist interventions, that their care is transferred back to a community setting once complete (if necessary). The overall aim of this service is to support patients and carers to better understand and cope with their pain-related medically unexplained symptoms, whilst offering holistic treatment of the pain itself. The contract duration will be 3 years with the option to extend for 1 year As this service is for people with chronic long-term conditions we expect good links to be established with primary and secondary care, as well as other community services, to ensure a seamless patient journey. (For example, when individuals require specialist procedures or injections) for malignant pain and for when patients are discharged back into the care of their GP.

title: AQP for Ambulatory 24hr Blood Pressure Monitoring Service (North West Surrey CCG)

description: Dear Potential Provider, This offer is for the 2nd Qualification window for provision of an Ambulatory 24hr Blood Pressure Monitoring Service using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) process. This AQP process is being undertaken by NHS North West Surrey Clinical Commissioning Group, who will be the contracting authority. ***Applicants who submitted an application during the first window do not need to reapply unless they have received formal notification that their application was unsuccessful.*** High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most important causes of premature morbidity and mortality in the UK (Hypertension CG127, NICE, August 2011). The clinical management of hypertension is one of the most common interventions in primary care. Hence, it is essential that the diagnosis of hypertension is based upon the accurate assessment of blood pressure itself. Compared to conventional blood pressure measurement, automated techniques or recording, especially ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides a more precise estimate of a patient’s usual blood pressure, excludes observer bias, minimises the white-coat effect and can refine risk stratification. In addition ABPM gives information on the diurnal blood pressure pattern, the efficacy of 24 hour blood pressure control, and the presence of nocturnal hypertension which carries an adverse prognosis. North West Surrey CCG (ambulatory and housebound patients) The Provider will offer 24 hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) to adult patients over the age of 18yrs who fall within the following categories • Patients whose clinic blood pressure is 140/90mmHg or higher to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension. • Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of hypertension who are identified as having ‘white coat effect’ and who therefore require ABPM for the purposes of reviewing their response to medical and lifestyle treatment/management. The services will be provided within NHS North West Surrey CCG locality. Period of contract: 3 years. It should be noted that under the Any Qualified Provider model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded. The offer documentation comprises of the following: Document 1.1 AQP Qualification Information Document 1.2 AQP Application form Document 2.1 Service Specification In securing services from Providers, the authority needs assurance of competence, quality and safety standards, just as it would for services secured under a formal tender process. Any provider will be eligible to join a national list of qualified providers subject to demonstrating competency against the authority’s specified criteria. The list will be open to new entrants to the market, subject to assessment. Please read the qualification questionnaire and the supporting offer documents very carefully since failure to comply with the requirements contained therein (including paying particular attention to Maximum Word Limits for answers) will invalidate your submission. The window for questions from Applicants will close on 6th June 2014 at 5pm, allowing time for answers to be posted and applicants to complete their applications by the reply by date of 11th June 2014 at 5pm. If Applicants are asked Clarification Questions during the Evaluation Stages, they have 48 hours in which to respond. Please ensure that you have staff available to respond to the questions, which will be sent to you by email. Failure to respond in the given time could adversely impact your application. If qualified, your organisation will be required to accept the terms and conditions and be compliant with the NHS Standard Contract 2014/15 (Multilateral) and any subsequent revisions thereof. It should be clearly noted that certain parts of the contract e.g. Quality Indicators are subject to change this and every year in line with DH/Monitor Guidance. At its absolute discretion, the contracting authority will reflect these changes as it deems appropriate in this contract. Please note that the Contracting Authority will not enter into an arrangement with any individual or organisation that does not fully accept this requirement.

title: DFID 6643 Fund Manager for Education Innovation Fund Pakistan

description: Pakistan faces an education emergency, with 12million children out of school and few of the rest learning enough to provide them with adequate skills and knowledge to access economic opportunities and a better standard of living. Given the challenges, Pakistan needs pioneering ideas which deliver better quality education at lower cost and solutions that allow parents and citizens to demand better quality from providers. Helping tackle this emergency is a top priority for the UK. Government schooling is failing to deliver. In 2010, Pakistan passed Article 25a into the Pakistan Constitution, enshrining a commitment to free and compulsory education for 5-16 year olds. However, results will take time to deliver. There is a strong case for working with new partners from the private and not-for-profit sectors to provide urgent solutions to the needs of out-of-school children and those in school who are failing to learn. It is also important to increase incentives for the reform of public schools by empowering parents and citizens with information, advice and guidance so that they can hold providers to account for the provision of better quality education.

title: Humber Estuary Clay Pits Macrophyte survey

description: This project will focus on 8 clay pits/lakes near Barton upon Humber, North Lincolnshire (known as Humber Clay Pits), which form a part of the Humber Estuary SSSI/SPA/Ramsar site. Surveys of the waterbodies carried out in 2007/2008 indicate considerable declines in macrophytes since the 1987 baseline survey, and as a result most of the clay pits are currently classed as being in “unfavourable condition”. The possible causes for the low number of macrophytes include poor water quality, the fine and unstable clay substrate and the presence of introduced fish (particularly carp). Several of the lakes were affected by the tidal surge in December 2013 and the increase in salinity may also have affected the survival of certain macrophyte species. This project involves carrying out macrophyte surveys on these 8 lakes (following Common Standards Monitoring methodology), assessing their condition against the Humber Estuary SSSI Favourable Condition Tables and comparing the results with previous surveys.
