description: The primary aim of this project is to develop an evaluation framework for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) so that the impacts of the recent reforms to the CFP can be evaluated in future years. This evaluation will then be used to assess what further reforms may be needed when the next CFP is negotiated. Through the development of the evaluation framework for the CFP this project will also provide a guidance note for developing evaluation frameworks for large and complex interventions with a European dimension, helping to show what types of evaluation are best suited to different situations, how to establish counterfactuals and how to better utilise mandatory data collection for evaluations. It will also provide a framework for considering how evaluation resources should be prioritised where there are a wide range of evaluations to be undertaken. This methodology will be used more widely within Defra to establish evaluations of large European policies.

title: Integrated Care Collaborative for the Intermediate Tier of Service (ITS) on behalf of NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Clinical Commissioning Group and Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council

description: NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Clinical Commissioning Group and Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council (NHS HMR CCG & RMBC) are inviting providers to deliver a safe, cost-effective service Integrated Care Collaborative for the Intermediate Tier of Service (ITS). The outcome based model of ITS includes components of delivery in different functions and possibly through more than one organisation. The purpose of using one specification to describe this model and its components is to ensure that the delivery of the model is integrated; each partner understands the interdependencies and relationships in the system, and the expectation to achieve the common goals (as described in the draft service specification). The delivery of ITS will provide integrated services which supports the needs of adults (18+ years) for intermediate care. These services will work together to optimise the approach to ensure patients are seen at the right time, in the right place and by the right person. The ITS must be delivered by a provider collaborative. NHS HMR CCG would like to offer the opportunity to deliver services to both large scale organisations and also to smaller, more niche organisations through the commissioning of collaboratives of providers. The Rochdale Borough Integration Plan establishes that we should start from the premise that the best care is delivered in a personalised way, that: • Respects and is designed around the individual person • Takes account of their needs and wishes, and • Is delivered at home or as close to home as possible. It is these principles that align to the ambitions of the ITS delivery model and reflect how the health and social care system as a whole is focused on delivering care which is integrated and person centred. The Better Care Fund has one overriding aim to reduce the number of total emergency admissions to hospitals. This ITS will play a critical role in NHS HMR CCGs ability to deliver on this target through the improved management of conditions and support as described in the draft service specification. This new tier that we are commissioning is wider than just beds; it incorporates a wider range of associated services. This is a jointly commissioned service between NHS HMR CCG & RMBC and is the largest scheme within our Better Care Fund. It proposes a new approach to commissioning related services through a clear joint commissioning platform strengthened by enhanced patient and carer input into the design and rational for the new provision. It builds on national strategy for community based services as well as observing any more localised developments. At its core is a bow to innovation through new workforce posts and new types of service delivery. The proposed system will: • Fulfil the imperative of a reduction of non-elective admissions for the over 65s and support patients 18 and over. • Result in increased patient satisfaction • Reduction in length of stay • Enable greater flexibility for step up and step down patients • Deliver a more flexible service which will have the capacity to expand most cost efficiently to fill the increased demand from the increasing number of citizens 65+ and especially those 85+ with frailty and multi-morbidity. The contract will be for a duration of 5 years with option to extend for 2 years. The expected service commencement date is June 2015. This tender process will be conducted as a two stage Restricted Procedure Stage 1 Bidders wishing to express an interest in participating in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) stage should register their interest on the EU Supply Website to access the documentation.

Public Services Network (PSN): Public Services Network is a secure network built to common standards that enables the delivery of public services from any place by any provider. In doing so it creates a competitive marketplace to significantly reduce the cost of telecommunications services and enable different and creative ways of delivering public services.

title: Core Systems Maintenance and Support - Lot 3 - Pulse Database Support

description: NHSBT is letting contracts for the continued support and maintenance of its existing "Core Systems" Pulse and Hematos during 2014. Pulse is an integrated set of application components which covers the whole blood component lifecycle, from a donor registering to a pack being issued. The Pulse set of applications supports the management of blood donors and the collection, processing and distribution of blood and blood components. It is critical to running the NHSBT business. The failure of Pulse for even a few hours would significantly impact NHSBT's ability to meet the demand from hospitals and the patients they serve. Hematos is a blood donor and patient testing system, supporting the bulk of NHSBT's Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services (DTS) Directorate. Hematos supports all of the DTS “Specialist Services” functions: Red Cell Immunohaematology, International Blood Group Reference Laboratory, Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, Cellular and Molecular Therapies, Stem Cell Donation and Transplantation. Hematos additionally supports the National Bacteriology Laboratory (NBL). In the SCDT function Hematos is used to support the collection, processing and distribution of stem cell and cord blood products and the creation and maintenance of a searchable registry of potential adult bone marrow/stem cell donors and a searchable bank of cord blood donations. Hematos is critical to all aspects of business as usual within DTS, and to the delivery of the strategic plans for 2014-20. The requirement of this tender is for the ongoing provision of support and, in response to changing business circumstances such as new/amended regulations, maintenance services for these systems. NHSBT also plans to invest in new capabilities, independently procured, over the life of this contract. These capabilities may result in changes to the Pulse and Hematos systems to integrate effectively. Such changes to Pulse and Hematos, as they are specified in detail, become part of the requirement of this tender. These services have been divided into four separate lots: — Lot 1.1 Hematos Support and Maintenance; — Lot 1.2 Hematos Software; — Lot 2 Pulse Application Maintenance and Support; — Lot 3 Pulse Database Support.

title: UK SBS RE140239AHRC - Analysis of the Economic Impact of AHRC funded Research at a Regional, City and/or Local Level

description: Please note – The reference for this project has changed from RE140184AHRC to RE140239AHRC because this will be the second time it goes out to tender. The overall purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of the economic impact and value of AHRC-funded research within specific geographical areas to be agreed between the successful bidder and the AHRC. This might involve analysing the local economic impacts of AHRC funding awarded to research and collaborating organisations within a specific geographical area and/or through scalable case studies of the local economic impacts of clusters of AHRC projects with a specific geographic focus or relevance. Successful bids would be expected to demonstrate experience of effectively working with a range of local partners which include research organisations, non-academic partner organisations and others who are responsible for local/regional economic development (e.g. local government, LEPs etc.,). The case study regions (we would expect a number of contrasting regions, cities and local areas to be studied to provide data for comparative purposes) would be subject to agreement with the AHRC. For example, looking at the current AHRC research portfolio Birmingham has provisionally been identified as one possible ‘city region’ case study; however, we would welcome suggestions from bidders for alternative and other locations to be included in the study. The study would be expected to build on insights on the nature of impacts from arts and humanities research gained from more in depth area based studies, such as the recently published report on Brighton (listed above) which highlighted the impact of creative economy clusters and the importance of research funding within this landscape. In discussing case study areas with the successful team we would seek to avoid overlaps with areas which are the focus of current or recent in-depth studies. Similarly, UWE Bristol, Bath Spa University and the University of Bristol will be undertaking an 18-month project jointly funded by the AHRC and the Design Council on the value and impact of design in the Bristol and Bath region.9 Two further studies are being commissioned to be undertaken, in parallel, on a sectoral-based economic impact analysis and on estimations of the economic value of the impacts of AHRC-funded research.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013.

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: Community Pain Management Service

description: Pain can have a direct impact on health outcomes and, if uncontrolled, may have a diverse effect on all areas of life. This is because pain is not only a sensory perception, but has emotional, cognitive, and behavioural components, which need to be recognised. The impact and perception of pain is also influenced by a patients’ individual developmental, environmental, and sociocultural background. This makes pain a complex bio-psychosocial experience. For the purpose of the service chronic pain is pain or discomfort that has troubled the patient all of the time or intermittently for more than the last three months Estimates of the prevalence of chronic pain vary, but a recent estimate is that 7.8 million people in the UK suffer moderate to severe pain that has lasted more than six months. Moreover, it appears that the prevalence of chronic pain is rising, with more cases now compared to 40 years ago. Studies suggest that it is more commonly reported by women and those from socially or financially disadvantaged groups. Chronic pain can be considered as a long term condition in its own right; however, it is frequently accompanied by other long term conditions such as, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, depression and disability, which makes the clinical management of the patient’s needs complex and more difficult. Although the majority of people living with pain learn to live well in spite of it, a substantial proportion develops problem pain. This type of intractable pain can significantly disrupt lives and is associated with a number of negative outcomes including, sleeplessness and depression, job loss, reduced quality of life and impairment of normal physical and social functioning. Please Note: The service specification is in DRAFT form at this PQQ stage and there may be amends and or additions at the Invitation to Tender stage (ITT). This is a Framework Agreement and the CCG's will appoint 3 providers to the Framework. The contract will be for 3 years with an option to extend for a further 1 year.

The University seeks a partner to supply and install a Laboratory Information Management System. With limited storage space available in the Science Centre we need an accurate and real time stock control system to ensure we have the required consumables available when we need them to move towards a ‘just in time’ supply model, know where the items are stored to save on staff resources, allow the faculty to carry out cost analysis by module/course/research project and reduce expenditure on over ordering and disposal of unwanted chemicals. With the ability to run laboratory teaching sessions for up to 270 students twice a day we can no longer rely on the expertise of one or two technical staff to prepare a practical as a large proportion of the technical support team will be required for each session. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) need to be available to all technical staff to allow them to complete the required tasks and update the stock control system on the consumables used. Setting up the SOPs will be a significant undertaking given the range of practicals and the number of staff involved.

title: NE Assist Nephrops Project

description: Meetings held with the industry as part of the ASSIST project identified that data on discard estimates from the NE nephrops otter trawlers reflected the fishery. When presenting results from the Cefas observer programme it was considered that whiting and plaice would be the most likely choke species during the transition to catch quotas as part of the new CFP reform. Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) trials during the 2013 season produced a net design (Net Grid) capable of assisting skippers to adjust their catch composition. However this design significantly reduces the catch of all fish, both marketable and discards. There is continued support from the industry in developing modifications to trawl designs to enable the avoidance of discards. As most vessels participating in FSP trials have been in the 15 meters or over category, it has been agreed this season to consider proposals from under 10 metre (or low horsepower) vessels.
