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: GOV.UK Verify (Identity Assurance) Framework Agreement.

description: The Cabinet Office, acting as the Contracting Authority, publishes this Contract Notice in regard to the requirement to let a three (3) year Framework Agreement (with the option of a one (1) year extension) for use by the Government Digital Service (GDS) for the provision of Identity Assurance Services (through GOV.UKVerify). This procurement competition is managed on behalf of the Contracting Authority by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS). GDS manages GOV.UK Verify for central government. GOV.UK Verify is a new way for people to prove their identity when accessing digital services. It allows those services to be confident that users are who they say they are to a defined Level of Assurance (LoA). The Government's aim is that all the central government services that need identity assurance for individuals will be using GOV.UK Verify by March 2016. The aspiration is for central government, together with the Providers under this Framework Agreement and others, to work together to develop, broaden and stimulate the market for identity assurance services. This aspiration is initially focused on the wider public sector, with potential expansion into the private sector and other countries to follow. It is envisaged this Framework Agreement will be entered into by up to ten (10) Providers. Each of the Providers will have to satisfy a number of conditions precedent and pass through a number of process acceptance gatesbefore going live on the system. The potential value of the Framework Agreement is estimated to be 150 000 000 GBP over a three (3) yearduration. This figure is that which is likely to be necessary to meet the requirements of central government.However, there may be additional demand from relying parties in the wider public sector - such as health and local authority services — during the lifetime of the Framework Agreement (see section VI.3 below for moreinformation). The right is reserved to award multiple and/or successive and/or overlapping Call-off Contracts during the lifetime of the Framework Agreement. The initial Call-Off Contract, which will be awarded at the same time as the Framework Agreement is signed,will be for Level of Assurance 2 (LoA2) only. GDS expects to procure Additional Services as set out in theFramework Agreement. Additional services may include Level of Assurance 1 (LoA1) and Level of Assurance 3(LoA3). All Framework Agreement Providers will be expected to sign the first Call-Off Contract and must be ready toenter into the first Call-Off Contract as soon as they have satisfied the Operational Conditions Precedent in theFramework Agreement. They must also adhere to the price as agreed in the Framework Agreement. The contractual terms of the Framework Agreement are non-negotiable. No organisation will be permitted to act as a material subcontractor to more than three (3) Potential Providersin total (including themselves if they are a Potential Provider). The purpose of this restriction is to protect theresilience and diversity of GOV.UK Verify. The Contracting Authority expects to award the Framework Agreement by April 2015. The eventual value of the Framework Agreement may be larger or smaller than the indicated amount and will depend on the extent of demand from and take-up of government services, the ability of Providers to meet that demand and the prices bid by the successful Providers. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to hold an electronic auction during further competitions (at Call-Offonly) among the parties to the Framework Agreement. This is at the discretion of the Authority. A Prior Information Notice (PIN) was dispatched to the OJEU on 1.4.2014 (reference: TED-publication114997-2014). Background information GOV.UK Verify establishes a federated approach to identity; individuals select a third-party Identity Provider to verify their identity. Identity Providers check a range of evidence against published standards to establish to a defined level of confidence that the user is who they say they are. The Identity Provider then assures the identityto the GDS hub, which then confirms that assurance to the relevant government service. The service is built to protect users' privacy and security. It works within the parameters of identity assurance principles set by an independent advisory group. Each assured identity is valid across all digital services that use GOV.UK Verify as a means for people to accessthe service. This procurement is for the provision of identity assurance services, namely identity proofing and authentication for people accessing government services via the Identity Assurance hub, in compliance with the relevant standards.

title: FS101068 Effectiveness of depuration in removing norovirus from oysters

description: The Agency wishes to commission work to quantify and optimise the effectiveness of standard UK depuration practices in reducing norovirus in oysters and to explore the potential for novel approaches to significantly improve the effectiveness of this process. Depuration is effective in reducing bacterial contamination but is known to be less effective in reducing norovirus. The lack of an effective process capable of reliably removing norovirus from oysters is an important knowledge gap and a priority for further research. Proposals are therefore invited for a laboratory-based project which will improve our understanding of the interaction between norovirus and shellfish and lead to the identification of optimised or novel depuration practices that could be applied in the UK, to significantly improve the removal of norovirus from oysters placed on the market. It is anticipated that the data generated from this project will provide an evidence base to demonstrate the potential for optimised or novel depuration processes to effectively reduce norovirus titre in oysters and contribute to increased public health protection in relation to norovirus infection associated with eating raw oysters. This will address one of the recommendations arising from EFSA’s Scientific Opinion on norovirus in oysters, for research to establish and optimise the effectiveness of depuration and relaying for norovirus reduction using the standardised CEN method. It is anticipated that approaches shown to be effective in significantly reducing norovirus in oysters could form the basis of separate field trials (subject to legal compliance) and inform the development of an evidence-based norovirus risk management programme to support the FSA’s strategic aim of reducing foodborne norovirus in the UK. This research call is seeking novel ideas to address the research areas identified and collaborative and/or multidisciplinary applications with an appropriate management framework are encouraged to promote well-balanced, innovative proposals that offer value for money and make use of the best available research and analytical approaches. The study should include reviews of relevant available evidence (published and unpublished) as the starting point for the investigations and to justify the design of new laboratory studies. Production of a comprehensive final project report is required which should include consideration of any continuing knowledge gaps and identification of priority areas for further research. If appropriate, suggestions for future field trials to validate successful findings should also be provided. It is envisaged that the project may take up to 2 years.

title: First Aid Learning Programme

description: To design and deliver a First Aid at Work learning programme (including Emergency First Aid for appointed persons) for staff working across Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, to meet our legal obligations and ensure our staff have the requisite skills to respond to an emergency situation in the workplace. The programme must meet the standards of First Aid at Work 2013 edition (L74) and be delivered by appropriately qualified / accredited facilitators. For the avoidance of doubt, documents setting out the required standards and giving definitions are outlined in the references section of this ITQ document. The specific aim of the programme is to ensure that nominated staff are trained to an appropriate level to respond safely and effectively to emergencies in the work place, in line with our policies, as well as legislation and national best practice guidance. Whilst covering the core HSE syllabus, the sessions should give learners the opportunity to consider in more depth any particular challenges and risks associated with their specific role, including review, where appropriate, of response to any previous incidents. Some of our target audience may in some cases have a wealth of relevant experience as well as underpinning theoretical knowledge (having a clinical background), but may not necessarily have received formal First Aid learning in the past (or recently).

title: Provision of Community Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Services - Window 2

description: Halton Borough Council, on behalf of NHS Halton Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS HCCG), are pleased to share this second opportunity to tender to deliver a service for the provision of a Halton-wide community Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Service. NHS HCCG previously commissioned a community service for Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) to provide the capacity for a wide range of referrals to be dealt with in the community in line with recognised best clinical practice and deliver a number of benefits for patients in Halton. This procurement aimed to identify any providers who met the criteria detailed in the procurement documentation and therefore it should be noted that there can be more than one successful provider of this service. None of the successful providers are guaranteed any activity and when there is more than one successful provider patients have a choice of which provider to access. As part of this contracting process we are required to re-open this window to allow new providers the opportunity to tender the service, in line with national guidance. Historically, there has been significant improvements in the provision of ENT services within Halton following a successful Community ENT service pilot in Widnes in previous years, which includes improved waiting times, reduction in DNA's and improved new to follow-up ratios. It was the intention that this service be expanded to provide a community ENT service for both Runcorn and Widnes and therefore serving the whole population of Halton. The service will be a triage, diagnostic and treatment (in line with exclusion criteria outlined in the specification) ENT service based within the community to provide care and treatment for patients over the age of 2 years presenting with a range of ENT conditions. It will provide a 'one stop' service (where appropriate) for patients within Halton and will be required to operate from a location(s) that is accessible to patients of Halton. The service will be provided by appropriately qualified clinical practitioners (Consultants, GPwSI or specialist ENT nurses) with support from specialist clinicians such as Audiologists where necessary. The service will accept referrals from GPs within Halton, and other identified health professionals, which will be then be screened to identify suitability. The service will carry out appropriate diagnostic tests and treatments and undertake any required follow ups. Where necessary an onward referral to secondary care will be made for further treatment that is not available within the service. Criteria - This service will be available to all patients registered with a Halton GP over the age of 2. It is anticipated that this service will be accessed by patients following assessment by GPs or Nurse Practitioners. Accommodation - It is expected that the service will be based in a community venue(s) that is easily accessible to patients of Halton and operate flexible opening hours as outlined in the specification. Contract period - 3 years (from 1st April 2014), plus an option to extend for two further periods of 12 months. TUPE will not apply to this service. The deadline for the submission of tenders is 5.00pm on Wednesday 10th September 2014.

title: UK SBS RE140271BIS Linking SBS data to IDBR

description: Having reliable data on small businesses performance and the factors that affect this is crucial to the work of the BIS Enterprise Directorate. The Small Business Survey (SBS) is a key source of such data. Linking SBS data to other data, most notably that held on the IDBR, has the potential to increase the efficiency of our data collection and to provide more powerful data and analyses. There are SBS data going back to 2004. Prior to 2008 the survey was conducted annually, since 2008 it has been conducted every two years; that is in 2010, 2012 and 2014. To date, SBS 2010 and SBS 2012 have already been linked to IDBR. The 2014 survey was sampled from IDBR so is also effectively linked. Earlier surveys were sampled from Dun and Bradstreet data. The datasets for these earlier surveys include full address and postcode details for each record. For the 2006 and 2007 surveys, there are also VAT registration numbers. The intention is for each SBS to be linked to the appropriate Business Structures Database(s) (the longitudinal version of IDBR, with snapshots retained each year) with a view to enabling new analyses of the longer term performance of these businesses. 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
