Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: SNBTS wishes to put in place a contract for the rental of all equipment that includes all controls and cuvettes required to test approximately 188 000 blood donors.
The Blood Safety Quality Regulations (BSQR) set the minimum and maximum haemoglobin (Hb) levels for blood donors as between 125 g/L and 165g/L for females and between 135 g/L and 180g/L for males.
SNBTS currently evaluate Hb levels (using venous and capillary blood) of all donors’ immediately before each donation to ensure a donor’s Hb level is within the acceptable range. Donors’ with an Hb level out with the acceptable range are deferred from donating and given advice which may recommend a consultation with their general practitioner. It is vital that deferrals are based on accurate test methods to optimise donor safety and minimise deferrals, donor anxiety as a result of inaccurate test results. The equipment will be used to test the haemoglobin levels of whole blood and component donors in static and mobile sites throughout Scotland
SNBTS wish to maintain current practice of a single quantitative test for determination of Hb levels. SNBTS expect suppliers to work with them in respect of the capabilities of the Hb analysers to the improvements they make within the collection environment, throughout its life cycle.

Technical requirements: No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, this cardiac surgery clinical information database is essential to patient care and service delivery. Dendrite have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. The functionality of this system is within the core scope of the encompass procurement which issued its notice of intention to award a contract in June 2019.
This contract is required to cover the transitional period and a replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a cardiac surgery service. The wider market was consulted when encompass was procured. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.

Technical requirements: Through this contract, Butyl Products Ltd supplies relevant goods and fitting out services to vehicles as well as decommissioning services.
The Government must protect the health and well-being of UK citizens. The Covid-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there are sufficient NHS key workers available to deliver frontline NHS services. Public Health England guidance (based on expert medical opinion) states that if an individual has Covid-19 they must self-isolate for seven days; or if a member of their household has Covid-19 they must self-isolate for 14 days.
In practice, these rules means that on a day-to-day basis, many frontline staff, including in the NHS and carers, are unable to work due to needing to self-isolate – despite the possibility that they are not infected with Covid-19.
This is why on 27 March the Government announced major plans to rapidly expand the volume of Covid-19 testing available for NHS and other Key Workers outside of the NHS system – with the aim of getting as many non-infected staff back to work as soon as they are able. A key element of these plans is testing of key workers in the first instance before rolling out more widely. The services provided under this contract form an essential part of the Government’s testing strategy in pursuit of these urgent requirements in response to Covid-19.
Covid-19 is serious and its consequences pose a risk to life. Cabinet Office published PPN 01/20: Responding to Covid-19 on procuring with extreme urgency which states that contracting authorities may enter into contracts without competing or advertising the requirement where certain tests are met, as follows:
1) There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency as there is a significant public health risk requiring immediate action as a result of Covid-19;
2) The Covid-19 outbreak and its consequences are unprecedented and the contracting authority could not have reasonably foreseen either of these;
3) It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to obtain the testing kits and associated services being contracted for. It is imperative that testing is quickly and securely mobilised and for the service to be provided on a nationwide scale for Key Workers rapidly.

Technical requirements: This tender relates to the professional development for mentors and coaches of teachers and trainers in the Further Education and Training sector. There is research which indicates that mentoring is ‘perhaps the most effective, form of supporting the professional development of beginning teachers’ (Hobson et al, 2004, p.209) yet, there is further evidence to suggest that it is more likely to be beneficial for beginning teachers when mentors have undertaken a programme of mentoring preparation or education (Hobson, 2016).
The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) champion an approach to mentoring and coaching of teachers in the further education and training sector which is developmental and nurturing in nature; which is rooted in collaboration and support and which is adaptable to the individual needs of the mentee/coachee. For an example of the type of approach to mentoring we advocate seeing Hobson’s (2016) notion of Onside mentoring. Such an approach requires mentors who are highly knowledgeable in theories of mentoring and highly skilled in the practice of mentoring.
The Department for Education have allocated ETF a total of GBP 3 000 000 to develop high quality mentoring training in the sector to support teachers — including those in the important early years of their careers — to develop and progress. The underlying aim of this support is to improve the retention of new teachers entering the further education and training sector.
The Education and Training Foundation's (ETF) senior management team have made the decision to withdraw strand 3 (Management of Financial Support) of the professional development for mentors and coaches of practitioners in further education and training.
