description: 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 Office for Life Sciences (OLS) are commissioning this work to develop a better understanding of three key segments of the medical technology sector. We want to better understand the segments themselves, their current and future expected value and supply chains, the key issues this sector faces and the potential policy levers that may effect useful change. The segments of interest are: 1. Orthopaedic devices 2. In-vitro Diagnostics 3. Medical imaging and radiotherapy It is recognised that these segments are very broad and, within them, some sub-segments differ greatly from others, for example with respect to the development and regulatory pathway. The contractor should characterise the main sub-segments considered to be within each segment. As part of their proposal, the contractor is expected to set out how they plan to strike an appropriate balance between the breadth and depth of the med tech sector. This will be agreed jointly with OLS. Contractors are expected to build on previous work by PA Consulting that provided a high-level overview of typical product supply-chains in three med-tech segments and focused on the drivers of purchasing decisions of medical technology companies. In particular, this project is expected to meet the following three objectives. 1. Provide a quantitative and qualitative overview of the three segments of the current UK medical technology sector listed above, focusing on: a. The main UK-based companies in these segments, what primary products or components do they produce/work on and what parts of their supply and value chain are based in the UK? b. To what extent are a company’s range of products differentiated by technology (on a scale with generic consumables at one end and high-value, high-tech products at the other)? c. What are the primary business environment factors impacting on these companies’ UK operations, and what public policy levers or initiatives could be applied to improve the competitiveness of the sector? d. What do companies expect will be the impact of emerging technologies, notably digital technology, on their key products and services? How might this impact on questions (a) and (b) above? e. How important are the links between the sector, the research and knowledge base (e.g. research organisations and Institutes, academia) and the clinical trials network, and are these links influential in a firm’s location decision or decisions on new projects? 2. A supply-chain analysis in respect of the final products (which may be key components) produced by UK-based companies in each of the three segments: a. What proportion of their supply chain is based in the UK? Or, put differently, what proportion of components and inputs used in the final product are of UK origin, and are they low or high-value inputs? b. What proportion of the supply chain is based overseas? Why are these components and inputs sourced from overseas companies rather than UK-based companies? c. How have (a) and (b) changed recently, and are they likely to change in the near future (1-3 years)? d. Contractors should take a broad view of the medical technology supply chain to include components and inputs that may be classified within other sectors e.g. digital technologies, electronics, plastics, manufacturing processes. Contractors are expected to clearly set out their definition of the supply chains, including what they consider to be outside the scope of this project. The definition will be signed off by OLS following the kick-off meeting. e. To what extent do UK-based companies form part of a global medical technology supply chain, supplying components and inputs to medtech products being developed overseas by Tier 1 and OEMs, and: 11 i. What types of components and inputs do UK-based companies focus on, and how competitive are UK-based firms compared to their main overseas competitors? 3. An assessment of the global market opportunities in this sector. This should include a brief assessment of the respective medtech segments in key competitor countries and the scope for UK-based firms to capture a greater share of emerging global market opportunities in each of the segments and their relevant supply chains. a. What are the main overseas market destinations of companies’ finished products (which may be main components rather than finished devices)? b. Provide specific policy recommendations based on analysis and primary research that would improve the UK competitiveness in the three segments, and ensure the UK is well placed to attract future investment. Contractors are expected to provide a range of policy recommendations, from feasible and easy to implement policies at one end, to more radical policies at the other end of the spectrum. c. Supply chains are increasingly global, diverse and complex; policy recommendations should also provide an assessment on which parts of the value and supply chain it makes sense for the government to focus on. This would involve an assessment of UK’s competitive advantage, and where government policies can have a positive impact on the shape and size of the sector. The scope of this work may extend beyond the ‘med tech’ sector per se, as some companies that supply inputs to med tech may be classified within other sectors e.g. pharma, cell therapy, IT, electronics, materials manufacturing (including novel additive approaches and use of nanotechnologies). Contractors are expected to set out the methods they plan to use to deliver this work. If the contractor has a range of methods that can be adopted depending on the budget, each one should be set out including the cost of each option.

title: INVITATION TO TENDER (ITT) FOR: The delivery of the UK wide Private Rented Sector (PRS) Housing Guarantees scheme

description: The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) wishes to receive proposals for the delivery of the UK wide Private Rented Sector (PRS) Housing Guarantees scheme. In September 2012, Government announced the creation of the Housing Guarantees schemes. There are two schemes, one covering the PRS and the other Affordable Housing. On 20th June 2013 DCLG announced the appointment of Affordable Housing Finance Plc (AHF, a subsidiary of The Housing Finance Corporation Ltd) to deliver the Affordable Housing Guarantees Scheme. This contract notice deals exclusively with the PRS Housing Guarantee scheme. Tenderers will need to detail how they will raise and/or deploy the capital/funding required and provide loans to borrowers under the PRS Housing Guarantee scheme, together with the policies and procedures they will adopt. In order to reduce the overall interest cost to the borrowers, DCLG will provide a guarantee covering full repayment of principal and interest, in respect of either (i) the payment obligations of a borrower pursuant to a loan from, or arranged by, the tenderer and/or (ii) the scheduled payment obligations of the tenderer, or a vehicle established by the tenderer, in respect of any capital raised, where applicable, for the purpose of on-lending to one or more borrowers. Provision of the guarantee for each loan, or any capital raised for the purpose of funding a loan, will be subject to DCLG approval, which will take account of the eligibility and purpose of the loan and satisfaction and approval of the risks of the individual borrowing and/or project. Guarantees will become effective on completion of the related capital raising (where applicable) and on-lending transactions. Of key importance to DCLG is the maximisation of the benefit of the guarantee in reducing the cost of borrowing and minimising the risk of financial loss for DCLG as guarantor. Therefore tenderers will need to explain how they consider the capital can be raised (where applicable) or funding provided at the best price and provide their costings, both transactional and operational for the capital raising/funding and on-lending activities, so that the impact of these on the overall charge to be made to borrowers can be clearly assessed. Alongside this the approach to minimising the risk of financial loss including the proposed governance, control, risk assessment and due diligence policies and procedures should be set out. The tender process is taking place at: https://communities.bravosolution.co.uk And under ITT: ITT: itt_28523 - The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) - Private Rented Sector (PRS) Housing Guarantees Scheme Final tender proposals must be sumbitted through the e-tendering system on the ITT stated above and before the deadline of 07/05/2014 at 18;00 (Wednesday 7th May 2014, 6:00 pm). All questions must be submitted through the electronic ITT by 17/04/2014 18:00 .

title: Provision of Bioenergy Support

description: The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is responsible for securing low carbon electricity and heat to 2020. Alongside gas and low-carbon transport fuels, nuclear power and carbon capture and storage, renewable energy brings energy security, decarbonisation of our economy and green growth. Based on current projections we estimate that renewable electricity will generate upto 105 TWh by 2020. Bioenergy will be an important contributor to achieving these aims and objectives. For example the analysis undertaken for the Bioenergy Strategy (a cross-government strategy) indicates that sustainably sourced Bioenergy could contribute by 2020 around 8-11% to the UK’s total primary energy demand without significant impacts on food production or the environment. The UK Renewable Energy Roadmap (2013 update) also recognises the significant contribution of Bioenergy. In 2013, 35%of the renewable electricity generated in the UK came from Bioenergy . DECC is looking for a contractor to provide up to 92 days of: • technical support across the full range of bioenergy technologies, feedstocks and sustainability issues. • additional information to support the understanding of the commercial pipeline, and the public use of the bioenergy greenhouse gas calculator (the UK Biomass and Biogas Carbon Calculator) under the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Contracts for Difference (CfD).

description: NICE, established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, is the executive Non Departmental Public Body responsible for providing guidance and advice to support health and social care commissioners, providers and others to make sure that the care and preventative services provided are of the best possible quality and offers the best value for money. NICE has a statutory role that encompasses the development of quality standards, advice, information and recommendations about NHS, public health and social care services. NICE provides independent, evidence-based guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health and reduce health inequalities, and operates an independent accreditation programme to validate the guidance production of external organisations. In November 2013 NICE was asked by the Department of Health (DH) and NHS England to develop new guideline outputs which focus on safe staffing. To date NICE has received ten topic referrals, please see http://www.nice.org.uk/safestaffing for further information. It is envisaged that these guidelines will support local decisions making in a range of NHS settings and will also be of relevance to non-NHS bodies that provide care for NHS patients. The guidelines may also be a useful resource to patients and carers. Each guideline is developed by the Safe staffing Advisory Committee (SSAC) and contains a series of recommendations based on a systematic review of the available evidence (including economic studies) and a separate economic analysis and modelling report. Development on the first guideline topic – Safe nurse staffing of adult wards in acute hospitals has commenced and is due to be published in July 2014. NICE would now like to commission a contractor/s to produce evidence reviews to inform the development of the second and third guideline topics: • Maternity settings • Accident and emergency

title: Dementia Care Home Partnership - Fit for the Future, Fit for All

description: Bristol City Council (the “Council”) is seeking to appoint one or two providers (“Provider(s)”) in relation to the redevelopment of two care homes on separate sites in Bristol (the “Project”). The two sites are located at: - Brentry (Knole Lane, BS10 6OH) - Greville (Lacey Road, BS14 8LN) The Project is divided into 2 Lots, as follows: - Lot 1 – The works and services in relation to the Brentry site; - Lot 2 – The works and services in relation to the Greville site. The works and services to be carried out by the Provider(s) in relation to the Project include (but are not limited to) the following: - design and construction of the care homes; - provision of dementia care services (including residential, nursing, respite and reablement care); - provision of necessary finance; - any other ancillary or associated works and services that the Council require to facilitate the delivery of the Project; - demolition works on the Brentry and Greville sites. Due to the likely length of the Project, the Council envisages potential changes that may impact on the care services as a result of statutory or regulatory changes, developments in care practice, funding changes within the public sector, advances in technology and new research in managing dementia. Therefore the Council may require changes to the care services provided during the lifetime of the Project including (but not limited to) the model of care, composition of service user group, staffing requirements, the structure of the buildings and the physical environment of the care homes. The Project will involve the grant of leases to the Provider(s) for the Brentry and Greville sites. It is envisaged that the duration of the leases will be in 15 years with optional extensions for two periods of an additional 5 years (i.e. 15 + 5 + 5 = 25 years in total). However, the Council reserves the right for (i) the total duration of the leases to be for a period that is greater than or less than 25 years; and (ii) for the total duration of the leases to be comprised of a 15 year initial period and any combination of extension periods for the remainder of the duration. It is envisaged that the duration of the lease for each site will be the same period of time but the Council reserves the right to require different periods for each lease. The Council and the Provider(s) will also enter a nominations agreement and services contract in respect of the dementia care services. It is envisaged that the lease, nominations agreement and services contract in respect of each site will be co-terminus, but for the avoidance of doubt the Council reserves the right to apply different durations to each of these arrangements. It is envisaged that the leases will be provided at a peppercorn rent but the Council reserves the right to charge a commercial rent, in particular in circumstances where the lease continues beyond the expiry of the services contract and/or nominations agreement. The Council reserves the right for the services contract to include provisions that allow for spot purchases of services in circumstances where the nomination rights arrangement has expired. The leased land (including the care homes) shall revert to the Council on expiry or early termination of the leases. It is anticipated that the contract will include nomination rights of between 55% to 85% of the bed places in respect of each care home, although the Council reserves the right to agree a percentage outside of this range. The nomination rights under this contract will include beds places for Continuing Health Care (CHC) placements on behalf of Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group. Discussions regarding the level of the nomination rights will take place during the procurement process. In addition to the provision of the leases at a peppercorn rent, the Council may make a capital contribution and has currently identified potential funding of up to £7.81m for the development of homes for people with dementia. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Council makes no commitment at this stage to make any capital contribution; and (ii) the Council reserves the right to make a contribution in respect of one or both of the two sites at a value to be determined which may be different from that indicated above. Further information will be provided during the procurement process regarding: (i) the market value of the leases; and (ii) whether the Council will in fact make any capital contribution in respect of each site, and if so, the value of such contribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Council will require the Provider(s) to provide a value to the Council at least equal to the cumulative value of: (i) the market value of the relevant lease(s); and (ii) the amount of any relevant capital contribution. It is anticipated that the value provided to the Council shall include (but not necessarily be limited to) the following: - reduced bed rates under the block contract; - nomination rights; and - the estimated residual value of the land and premises when the lease expires.

This latter element is known as Project 1A, and is required to be delivered within 10 working days of the contract award, because of the potential impact on opening balances at 1 September 2014. (ii) Project 2 – a minimal care and maintenance update to the existing Accounts Direction for 2014/15 for use by established trusts. (iii) Project 3 – production of a new Accounts Direction for 2015/16 based on the new SORP, for use by all trusts, and including additional technical guidance on transition for established trusts, who will be used to preparing accounts based on the old SORP. In all component projects the contractor will be required to prepare drafts for review by the EFA and its established working groups of academy representatives and other stakeholders. The contractor will then need to finalise the documents.

title: RAPIDLY DECLINING MOTHS RESEARCH

description: This will be a desk study, involving detailed analysis of the Rothamsted moth light trap dataset from the past 35 years. No field surveys are required but the contractor will have to work closely with the Rothamsted staff (who hold the data), and one or more visits to the Rothamsted research centre in Hertfordshire may be required. Although detailed analysis of the dataset is required, it is intended to be quite ‘broad-brush’ at this stage and the requirement is to look for patterns in the declines of the various species (in particular any geographical differences) and to determine if these can be related to known factors operating in certain locations. Examples of this might be increased deer browsing in woodlands, increased light pollution, increased use of pesticides or other chemicals, or other subtle habitat changes. These are just examples though and the contractor is expected to use their experience and skill to find other emerging patterns in these declines (based in particular on geographical location) and, as far as possible, relate these to factors which may help explain declines. Any clear patterns which do emerge should be assessed so that follow-up research can be focussed in the most suitable areas, in effect ’homing in’ on the most likely causes of the declines.

title: Inventory and Projections of UK Emissions by Sources, and Removals by Sinks due to Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF)

description: The UK is committed under the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, the EU Monitoring Mechanism and the UK Climate Change Act to produce national inventories of emissions by sources and removal by sinks of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The calculation of these emissions and removals should be undertaken using agreed comparable methodologies and take account of the best available scientific knowledge. The emissions and removals from Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) are included as a component of the UK GHG Inventory following the requirements of the relevant reporting bodies. This work is to: • to extend the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGI)on LULUCF) by taking account of the updated methodologies set out in the recently published 2013 IPCC Wetland Supplement particularly the reporting of emissions and removals from wetland drainage and rewetting and • to provide information to support the UK’s decision making on whether to elect to include this activity in carbon accounting under the EU LULUCF Decision. The work requires a thorough review the methodology set out in the newly published 2013 IPCC Wetland Supplement, and especially the ‘Drained Inland Organic Soils’ and ‘Rewetted Organic Soils’ chapters, and to implement the agreed approach in the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory cycle. DECC anticipates that this will require the contractor to: • review emission factors for the UK and determine and compile the appropriate emission factors and activity data • develop an operational methodology for integration into the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory. • use the methodology to calculate annual emissions and removals from drainage and rewetting of organic soils in the UK (British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) for 2013, with backcasting of data to 1990 • use the methodology and scenarios for levels of peat restoration in each country within the UK and relevant British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to determine the mitigation potential of peat restoration to 2020 and 2050.

title: NL431 Warrington: Omega South Japanese Knotweed Removal Works 2014

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. We achieve this by: • Understanding the needs and aspirations of people and communities through close working with local authorities on local investment planning; • Enabling local delivery through the channeling of our expertise and investment; and • Working effectively with the market, housebuilders, investors and other stakeholders. For more information visit the HCA newsroom at homesandcommunities.co.uk In the achievement of this vision, the HCA ‘holds’ large expanses of land and built estate. The HCA is accountable to government for the effective management and disposal of the portfolio and will work with local partners to develop, invest in and dispose of the assets in pursuit of the economic development and regeneration objectives agreed by local partners and in support of local strategies. Whilst these sites help facilitate the delivery of the vision for the organisation, they also bring duties of care, health and safety, trespass and other liabilities and responsibilities. As part of the solution to manage such liabilities the HCA procure the services of Contractors to undertake routine and emergency activities on its estate. The HCA is seeking to appoint a competent contractor for the provision of Japanese Knotweed Works for land at Omega South, Warrington. Omega South is located adjacent to the M62 motorway in Warrington, bounded by Burtonwood Avenue to the east and Lingley Green Avenue to the south.

The site is a former airfield with all previous buildings now demolished. Outline planning permission is currently being sought for commercial development on the site. The development proposals require the eradication of the Japanese knotweed to enable access and works to commence. The total area of Japanese Knotweed amounts to 36m². Due to timescales and the requirement to retain flexibility in development proposals at the site, three options for treatment have been proposed, the Contractor must price all three options. Option 1: Excavation and burial of the waste at a suitable location on site to be agreed with the client. Burial locations will be managed in the future for amenity and landscape purposes, development will not take place above any of the burial locations. Option 2: Excavation and removal off site. No requirement to backfill the excavation; and Option 3: Excavation and removal off site, and backfill with MOT Type 1. Tenderers should be members of the Property Care Association (PCA) and/or Invasive Non-Native Specialists Association. Where a Contractor is not a member of the above trade organisations they must provide evidence of accreditation to a commensurate scheme or evidence of a proven track record of experience in Japanese Knotweed Removal Works. Tenderers are required to provide a 10 year Insurance Backed Guarantee for the works. This warranty must have the option to be transferable to a maximum of two other organisations – subject to any administrative charges. The minimum level of Public Indemnity & Employers Liability insurance cover needed for this Contract is £5 million and £10 million respectively. Works are expected to be have commenced on site by 22nd September 2014. All Tendering Contractors must be confident that they have the capacity to start the Contract within the required timescale.
