title: RM1043 Digital Services - DVLA Digital Service Platform - DIRECT AWARD

description: The DVLA has initiated a Program of Work to develop the capability to deliver a Digital Service Platform (DSP) as a Service to support all facets of the technology delivery life cycle. Development of this capability is underway and we now want to expand our team of Infrastructure Designers and Engineers to help the UK government build and run great digital services for the people of the UK. Candidates must have strong skills in building and supporting infrastructure services, through the use of Open Source tooling, that will underpin the agency’s business systems. Candidates must be ready to quickly get to work within a multi-disciplinary, multi-skilled team of architects, developers, engineers and analysts. To advance the business objectives of the DVLA, the individuals brought onboard will, on a day-to-day basis, be responsible for working with the existing team to effect knowledge transfer to the DVLA staff while developing a set of artifacts including: • Scripts, code and tests to automate the creation and provisioning of suitably hardened and configured virtual server environments in existing cloud providers. • Functional, non-functional, performance, operational and user acceptance test scripts • Documentation and Designs • the processes required to establish governance and best practices in the use of the chosen tools and in delivery of the required services • Configure and develop the core platform and application services to enable the reliable delivery of a PaaS within the DVLA. Once complete, the DSP will enable the DVLA to provision a secure, reliable, robust, well managed and governed technology platform in cloud environments in an automated manner, on demand. The platform will expose a number of application services and common components that will be used by developers and business applications to create and deliver services internally and to external customers. In order to accomplish this, DSP will define the processes and governance required to ensure best practise is adopted within the DVLA for the development and deployment of applications and services. The Required outcomes include but are not limited to: • Develop a solution in partnership with product owners, delivery managers, technical architects, designers and user researchers. • Develop solutions that meet the Digital by Default Service Standard. • Apply agile best practice such as Continuous Integration / Delivery. • Develop comprehensive and automated tests suites to demonstrate functional requirements. • Develop comprehensive and automated tests suites to demonstrate non-functional requirements such as availability, resilience and security. • Provide hands-on technical leadership, in the development, operation and ongoing improvement of complex, transformational digital services serving millions of users. • Develop high-quality software as part of a cross functional team. • Work with the Service Manager, Product Owners, Business Analysts to understand user needs for new and existing services. • Support the technical authority in prospective, information gathering and scene setting meetings with other government departments, evaluate technical proposals from external suppliers, and make implementation recommendations to senior stakeholders. • Work with delivery teams and partners to break technical requirements down into appropriate pieces, and to identify key API requirements for integration with internal and external systems. • Lead the rapid development of user-driven prototypes to identify technical options and inform architectural approaches, working with colleagues and supplier team members to write tests, code and documentation for new and existing systems. • Provide mentorship and/or line management for software developers and junior software developers. • Assist with building a culture of continuous delivery and improvement, ensuring that key systems are regularly analysed, maintained and improved.

UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14.

title: Hyde Park Parade Ground Reinstatement 2014-2017

description: Following the annual events season in Hyde Park, The Royal Parks has commenced a programme of landscape reinstatement works on the Parade Ground, (the extensive and largely flat open space on the eastern side of Hyde Park stretching down from Speakers Corner towards the Serpentine) and other affected areas from events around the park. The nature of the ground is relatively thin topsoil overlying stoney subsoil with deeper pans. The pattern has been complicated by surface and subsurface disturbances during and following World War 2. There is some residual debris and occasional obstructions within the soil layers. The area is also criss-crossed by a number of footpaths and there is an extensive underground car park in the north eastern sector of the site. The scope of this tender is predominantly concerned with, repair of topsoil and subsoil conditions and grass surfaces, together with the removal of all contaminated topsoil/subsoil. The works will require careful planning and sequencing to achieve progressive reinstatement within relatively confined areas as there are obligations to maintain public access on some footpaths as well as co-ordinating with the events programme. The works will deliver the Parade Ground to its previous condition within a strict timetable for achieving completion in spring. The reinstatement works will include the removal of any contaminated soil profiles, backfilling; pressure injection/de-compaction to restore deeper soil condition [with fissures backfilled], shallow verti-draining or scarifying, importation of specified sand; new topsoil layer for replacement soil areas; restoring levels; generally finishing in turf; areas to be top dressed and overseeded. Contractors will be expected to prove practical experience of high quality soil restoration and grass sward delivery and management in conjunction with associated de-compaction and fine grading. In particular contractors must be able to demonstrate a consistent track record in the delivery of high quality finishes in grass turfing and seeding, have managed de-compaction works, and be able to demonstrate responsive abilities in managing and delivering quality within constraints on a nationally prominent site. Tenderers will be asked to demonstrate their methodologies and field examples for delivering the works within the constraints of site conditions, site requirements and timetable.

All patients will receive education and information about their treatment and management in accordance with written procedures and clinical protocols, in order to make decisions about their care in partnership with healthcare professionals. The service will have equitable access, ensuring that patients are treated with dignity and respect, are fully informed about their care and are able to make decisions about their care in partnership with healthcare professionals.

title: Jubilee 2 Management & Operation of Cafeteria

description:
The Council is seeking to appoint a caterer to manage the café operation & vending machines within Jubilee 2 with effect from 13th May 2014 for a p[period of 2 years with a option to extend this period for a further two years.

 The council will be providing the successful operator with a fully functional kitchen and servery, specific details can be seen in Appendix One. The café forms a major attraction within jubilee 2, being located in the main reception foyer with views of the climbing wall and swimming pools. It forms part of an internal streetscape linking Brunswick Street and School Street. The operator will be expected to manage customer demand through out the operational hours of Jubilee 2 in a polite, positive and customer focused manner catering for a diverse range of customer requirements ranging from individuals to sporting events.

 Since January 2012 there have been two operators who have managed the café at Jubilee for approximately 12 months in each instant. During this time they generated a gross income of £100,000 to £110,000 per annum, however these figures have not been audited and prospective service providers should make their own assumptions around their business model. The annual footfall to the centre across all activity areas is circa 400,000 per annum. Given there is an existing provider employing 3.54 full time equivalent people based on an average working week of 37 hours, TUPE will apply.

title: Francis Leadership Development - Balancing Priorities

description: The Report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry (the Francis report) identified the importance of ensuring that financial decisions take full account of the implications for the quality of care. The Francis report also identified the importance of developing a culture of peer review in improving the quality of care. This point was also reinforced by the Keogh and Berwick reviews. Responding effectively to the Francis report and ensuring that there are practical means of support for NHS organisations in place is one of the Department’s key priorities. The Department is keen to support local organisations and their boards to improve their decision-making so that the balance between quality and financial factors can be struck more effectively at local level. In order to identify the importance of ensuring that financial decisions take full account of the implications for the quality of care and effectively at local level, there is a requirement for the development of: • Decision-making support tools to help identify and assess cost and quality implications and appropriate risk mitigation; • A peer support and mentoring programme to offer end-to-end support for self-identifying organisations. The delivery of these outputs will require the following skills: • Insight into the motivations and assumptions of both finance professionals and clinical leaders; • Ability to develop high quality tools and guidance at rapid pace; • Ability to engage credibly and insightfully with critical group audiences – in this case clinical leaders and managerial leaders in the NHS

title: Advertisement for the provision of NHS Elective Treatment and Diagnostic Services for South Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

description: The forthcoming Procurement of a Provider (either a single entity or a joint venture) to deliver a range of elective surgical and diagnostic services (“the Services”) to NHS patients principally residing in south Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The Services will also include the provision of Advice and Guidance to referring General Medical and General Dental Practitioners upon their request. The Services will be provided from an existing NHS Treatment Centre located at the Royal South Hants Hospital, Brintons Terrace, Southampton SO14 0YG (the “Southampton NHS Treatment Centre”). The Southampton NHS Treatment Centre opened in May 2008 and was established under a seven year contract as part of the national Independent Sector Treatment Centre programme. The existing contract expires on 27 October 2015 and the new contract is expected to commence on 28 October 2015 for a term of five (5) years – potentially extendable for a further term of two (2) years. The primary objective of the Procurement is the identification and appointment of a suitably qualified and experienced Provider drawn from the public, private or voluntary sector (or a joint-venture combination thereof) to deliver to patients and referring GPs a broad range of planned elective surgical and diagnostic services that are fully consistent with the requirements of the NHS Constitution (March 2013). The key elements of the Services will include but will not be limited to:- • Outpatient services for the purposes of assessment, advice, guidance, diagnosis and shared decision-making; • Diagnostic, imaging and therapy services in support of the above; • Day-patient and inpatient services (including associated hotel services); • Treatment Room and Operating Theatre services; • Post-operative recovery and therapy services; • Pharmacy and e-prescribing services. It is expected that the majority of referrals will be made electronically by GPs via the national Choose and Book system (NHS e-Referrals). To ensure the Services meet the needs of patients, carers and referring clinicians across the local health economy, the following are regarded by the Authority as being key objectives for the successful Provider: • Promote, support and deliver independence, choice, healthy lifestyle, dignity, privacy, confidentiality, and the active participation of people who use the Service (including shared decision-making and the establishment or realistic expectations around treatment options and outcomes); • Respect people as individuals regardless of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity or marital or civil partnership status; • Maintain and improve patient outcomes through timely access to high quality Services. “Quality” in this context incorporates the Darzi quality dimensions of patient safety, clinical effectiveness and patient experience (NHS Next Stage Review; Department of Health 2008) and includes delivery of Referral to Treatment Time standards as enshrined in the NHS Constitution. This also includes full utilisation and promotion of e-Referral and other technology; • Value-for-money for taxpayers and commissioners based on the highest standards of excellence and professionalism in clinical practice, operational management and business ethics; • Constructive participation as a key partner in the local health and social care system.

The 70 hectare area is centred on Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station, already a major national and international transport hub and whose role is to be enhanced still further by electrification of the Great Western Mainline in 2016/2017. The Enterprise Zone was officially declared open for business by Chancellor George Osborne in April 2012. It is being delivered by a partnership comprising The West of England Enterprise Partnership (LEP), Bristol City Council (BCC), The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Network Rail (NR). In support of major technical work the HCA is commissioning in relation to the development and disposal of its land assets in the TQEZ, HCA wishes to appoint a Consultant to undertake Predictive Movement and Connectivity Modelling for the core area of the TQEZ centred upon Temple Meads Railway Station. This is a commission focussed principally on HCA land assets, but incorporating land and buildings which lie between these. As such, it must pay particular regard to the emerging plans of other partners in the TQEZ, especially Network Rail’s Plan for major enhancement to Temple Meads Station and its environs, and the public transport (Metro bus) and the major infrastructure improvements being taken forward by Bristol City Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership. The model must use displacement mapping or suitable alternative technique to analyse the degree to which alternative street and highway alignments proposed as part of HCA’s masterplanning work in the TQEZ are integrated and connected. The Modelling employed must be capable of predicting peoples’ navigational decisions/choice of route when reaching certain characteristic points in the street network/public realm: thus allowing various scenarios and alignments to be tested to help plan the location of retail, commercial and other active uses in the most connected (busiest) locations, maximising the opportunities for such uses to be successful. The Consultant must demonstrate extensive skills and wide-experience in developing and iterating predictive movement and connectivity models for similar commissions. It is a requirement of the three interrelated HCA commissions for Temple Quarter (the HCA Asset Delivery Plan; the Concept Masterplan for the Arena Island site; and this Predictive Movement and Connectivity Modelling commission) that the appointed consultants work collaboratively together, and as part of a wider stakeholder Group involving the HCA as Client in partnership with Bristol City Council, together with the West of England LEP, Network Rail and English Heritage.

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-Leicester: Substance Misuse-Housing Related Support

description: Leicester City Council (the Council) commission, on behalf of the Safer Leicester Partnership (which includes the following organisations: Leicestershire Police, NHS Leicester City, Leicestershire & Rutland Probation Trust and Leicester City Council) and Health and Wellbeing Board Housing-Related Support Substance Misuse services for adults within the City of Leicester.The Council is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to submit tender for the provision of Housing Related support Substance Misuse services. These services will play an important role locally, alongside specialist services, in responding to substance misuse issues by reducing harm and building recovery.For some adults who have drug and alcohol issues housing related problems are a barrier to achieving recovery. In recognition of this we have developed a specification for the provision of housing-related support to those adults working with local specialist substance misuse services towards their recovery. The model will consist of both floating support and accommodation based provision. The accommodation should provide a safe, drug free and stable environment within which service users can rebuild their lives and begin to think about the future. A close and collaborative working relationship with specialist substance misuse services will be key in order to jointly support users into and through recovery.It is deemed necessary to have a mixed provision due to the complex needs of those individuals experiencing problematic substance misuse and the need for a proportion of clients to have a period of stability within a supportive environment. Floating SupportFloating support will work with those service users who already have accommodation (private, Council, Housing association) but due to their problematic substance misuse may be at risk of becoming homeless. In these cases the floating support will work with the services users and housing providers to reduce the risk of eviction and improve the services users’ ability to manage their tenancy. Floating support will also be offered to those substance misuse clients, who are leaving LCC hostel accommodation, Custody, residential rehabilitation or the accommodation based provision within the HRS model having secured stable accommodation. This support will be offered as part of their treatment package to ensure the success of any tenancy and to reduce the risk of further arrears or homelessness. Accommodation Based supportThe accommodation based support will provide a small unit (approx. 10 beds) for adults engaged with treatment services and working towards sustained recovery, who are homeless and require more intensive support and a period of stability as a result of their substance misuse. This will be an intensive level of support for approx. 9-12 months duration in order to maximise engagement and positive outcomes of structured treatment.
