Technical requirements: Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway Council are expecting to publish the Kent and Medway energy and low emission strategy which sets out our ambitions to be net carbon neutral by 2050. Within this strategy a series of actions are being developed to reduce carbon emissions and improve local air quality, with transport playing a major role.
Electrification of transport is seen as an important step to reaching the targets and as such KCC is keen to facilitate the installation of a reliable, secure and affordable charging network across the county and Medway.
The Transport Innovations Teams commissioned a report by CENEX, a leading low emission vehicle consultancy. The report identified that creating a series of charging ‘hubs’ across the region is the most effective way to increase Electric Vehicle (EV) take-up while avoiding the issues that arise from widespread installations across the highway network. This will likely incorporate Rapid charging with slower options to suit a range of use cases (such as overnight residential parking and long-stay park and ride locations) while accommodating future growth in vehicle battery capacity.
KCC has been working closely with Medway and the Districts/Boroughs to identify a series of car park locations that could house charging infrastructure. The car parks are all owned and operated by the District/Borough and Medway Councils.
KCC will act as facilitator to bring together multiple public bodies and intends to procure one countywide contract to install a large number of chargers across the region, providing an open charging network that is easy to access and does not prohibit use through membership requirements. A number of car parks have been identified and early dialogue with UKPN has taken place to establish the charging capacity of these sites. At this stage, no financial commitment has been identified or made to the project to install chargers, and the purpose of this opportunity is to explore supplier-funded or part-funded delivery models.
The intention is to begin the formal process of finding an installation partner later this year with KCC acting as the facilitator and central point of communication.
Contractors who wish to express an interest (EOI) must do so via the opportunity listed on the Kent Business Portal. The Council may then invite interested parties to confidential virtual meetings on 14 October 2020 to discuss this opportunity. Further literature and an agenda will be shared once these meeting have been arranged. A questionnaire may also be issued to aid our understanding for the current market climate. Organisations who do not express an interest in response to this PIN will not be precluded from applying to take part in the Council's chosen procurement strategy.

Technical requirements: NWSSP Partnership wish to inform the market that they have awarded a one off contract for the supply of type IIR Surgical Masks on behalf of NHS Wales.
NWSSP Partnership wish to inform the market that due to the Covid-19 global pandemic they have awarded a one off supply contract for type IIR surgical masks.
Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The Covid-19 pandemic has placed significant pressure on the global supply market in terms of a range of products including type IIR masks, and fluid resistant masks. Covid-19 is transmitted via small airborne droplets emitted by infected people when sneezing, coughing or talking. Therefore, a wide array of protective products designed to ensure protection are used such as face masks. As a consequence of the pace of the virus spread and following Government guidance, surgical masks must be used by all healthcare workings in an inpatient and social care clinical setting. This has significantly increased the day-to-day usage of the surgical masks.
Due to this Government guidance it was essential for NWSSP to purchase a significant quantity of masks to be able to support NHS Wales and Social Care residencies in Wales during this unprecedented time. Following a rapid review of the market conditions and finite supply and demand of the Type IIR masks, NHS Wales required a consistent high quality and quantity pipeline of supply for the NHS as well as for social care and private providers who treat NHS patients within Wales.
To enable this rapid delivery, NWSSP Partnership would like to inform the market that under Regulation 32 (2) (c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR’s) Bunzl UK Ltd  were awarded a one off purchase of masks to ensure continued quality supply.
In awarding this contract, the health board met all the tests under the PCR’s due to the immediate risk that Covid-19 posed to all NHS and social care personnel. In these exceptional circumstances, there was no time to run an accelerated procedure in line with PCR’s as immediate and continued pipeline of significant quantities was urgently required.
Covid-19 is a global emergency pandemic and the high volume of PPE required was not something that could have been predicted.
Government guidance is that type IIR surgical masks must be used by all healthcare workings in an inpatient clinical setting when:
— working in an inpatient, maternity, radiology area with possible or confirmed case(s) – direct patient care (within 2 metres);
— working in an emergency department/acute assessment area with possible or confirmed case(s) – direct patient care (within 2 metres);

It is crucial that we have continued maintenance of the external website until we can proceed with the competition.
