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.

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.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and malignant melanoma incidence rates have more than quadrupled since the 1970’s. An excellent intermediate and specialist dermatology service is required in Bromley to ensure the needs of residents are met in managing this challenging disease.

title: Fera Tree Climbing Contract - Kent

description: In March 2012 a breeding population of the Asian longhorn beetle (anoplophora glabripennis) was discovered in Paddock Wood in Kent. Since that time high numbers of trees within the outbreak zones have been removed and destroyed to prevent the spread of this pest. We have a four year campaign to inspect trees within the outbreak zones so as to declare eradication of this pest. As part of this campaign we require a number of tree climbers to climb and inspect trees within specified zones to look for any suspicious symptoms of the Asian Longhorn beetle in Paddock Wood, Kent. The aim of this work is to use methods that will give us further assurances that the pest has not spread into trees that have been previously inspected from the ground and that may provide a suitable habitat for ALB. The job will involve climbing trees as specifically requested by Fera Inspectors on site, within specified areas of the outbreak zones in Paddock Wood to look for any symptoms of Asian Longhorn beetle (ALB) activity, training on symptom recognition will be provided on site.

title: Inpatient survey - coding of freetext comments

description: Background: The national patient survey programme is managed by CQC on the behalf of NHS England. The programme covers a range of topics including mental health services, adult inpatient and outpatient services, maternity care, and ambulance services. Three surveys are usually completed each year that receive tens of thousands of responses. At the end of each questionnaire patients are able to provide comments if they wish to. These comments are then provided to CQC. What we are looking for: The Care Quality Commission wishes to procure a third party supplier to code a sample of the open ended comments provided by respondents for the 2013 Inpatient Survey. The survey programme operates on a devolved basis. It is managed by CQC though trusts pay to implement the survey. Most trusts will use one of four ‘approved contractors’ (http://www.nhssurveys.org/approvedcontractors) who have been approved by both CQC, and have achieved a satisfactory score on the Information Governance Toolkit, which is reviewed as part of the section 251 approval, obtained for the survey from the Confidentiality Advisory Group at the Health Research Authority. In 2013, 70,792 comments were made by 37,517 respondents. One hundred and fifty six trusts took part in the 2013 survey and their individual response rates ranged from 31% to 71%. The average number of respondents providing a comment per trust was 240, though this ranged from 67 to 402. Anonymised but uncoded comments are returned to trusts by their approved contractor. The Inpatient survey asks three open ended questions: Was there anything particularly good about your hospital care? Was there anything that could be improved? Any other comments? 29,503 respondents answered the first question, 23,379 the second 17,910 the third. A copy of the questionnaire may be found at: http://www.nhssurveys.org/survey/1295 Interested companies will need to bear in mind that whilst the number of comments and respondents is given above, the comments themselves will vary. That is, some people may write a lot in response to a question which may cover multiple themes, whereas others will write very little. Some respondents will only answer one question, others more than one. Some comments will be very specific whilst others may be very general. These are all issues that may need to be factored into both the sample size and approach and the coding frame. This work has dual aims as data will be used both at a national, and at a trust level. The aims of this work are to enable: • freetext comments to be analysed by CQC to produce a national report; • the trust level comments to be included in the new CQC inspection model. We will need the appointed company to: 1) Draw a sample from all comments received, ensuring that all trusts are included. To be useful at trust level, we suggest that bidders sample a minimum of 25% of comments from each trust, or n=30, dependent upon which is higher. The below tables provide bidders with guidance on the number of respondents if either sampling a proportion of respondents from each trust (table one) or sampling a set number of respondents from each trust (table 2). Table one: Total sample size for % proportion of respondents samples per NHS trust. Proportion of respondents sampled per NHS trust Total number of respondents in sample overall 10.00% 3,752 25.00% 9,379 50.00% 18,759 75.00% 28,138 Total 37,517 Table two: Total sample size for set ‘n’ number of respondents per NHS trust. Number of respondents sampled per NHS trust Total number of respondents in sample overall n=25 3,900 n=50 7,800 n=75 11,700 n=100 15,600 n=150 23,400 n=200 31,200 Total 37,517 2) Develop a coding frame This may involve developing a coding frame from scratch, using and / or revising an existing coding frame, or using a coding frame developed within CQC relating to the CQC regulatory requirements.

description: East Sussex County Council, West Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council are requesting information from Suppliers for the provision of a roundabout sponsorship management service and a roundabout landscaping maintenance service. Historically the Councils have had two separate contracts, one for the marketing of roundabout sponsorship opportunities and another for the landscaping and maintenance (although West Sussex County Council have had a joint contract in recent years) The general findings are that having these contracts separately doesn’t work particularly well and leads to delays in maintenance and repairs being carried out, and high levels of administration. As a result we are keen to understand current market offerings for the potential replacement/merging of these contracts. There is the desire to modernise and become more cost effective, where appropriate, and to understand the value and benefits of outsourced solutions against existing processes. Any information supplied as part of your response to this document will be treated as confidential.

Successful suppliers will also be expected to provide value and drive innovation and continuous improvement throughout the life of the Framework Agreement and any subsequent Call Off Agreements which may be awarded by the Contracting Bodies from time to time.

The premises were formally completed in 2004 and are a new shell and fit-out on a 1960’s buildings concrete frame. The premises were substantially altered and extended and were constructed by the University, at the cost of the NERC, specifically to meet the requirements of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, relocating from the Bidston Observatory site.

Under Section 106 of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990, a developer may enter into a “planning obligation” with the local planning authority (LPA), “requiring a sum or sums to be paid to the authority on a specified date or dates or periodically”. These payments are commonly referred to as section 106 developer contributions. They are collected for infrastructure costs, and are therefore passed on to the local authority responsible. Contributions from developers are based on an assessment of the additional demand on local infrastructure that would be created as a result of housing development. 2. SEEDOG (the South-East Education Developer Officers Group) is an informal group of local authority education officers and property professionals who are responsible for asset management of schools, children’s services and school commissioning. Through this group, a number of local authorities in the south east have expressed an interest in jointly commissioning a market research project to establish a robust and reliable evidence base upon which child/pupil yields from development can be estimated. The following local authorities have committed to take part in the project: • Surrey County Council • East Sussex County Council • Central Bedfordshire Council
