Technical requirements: Lothian Health Board is seeking proposals from bidders who can recruit, train and support volunteers to support positive health outcomes for patients using the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services.
‘Volunteering Well – NHS Lothian Volunteering Strategy 2018-2023z sets out an ambitious vision for volunteering across the whole of Lothian Health Board’s sites and services. To support the achievement of our goals we have been systematically reviewing our volunteer opportunities, processes and engagement with staff, patients and volunteers. As part of this process, it is our intention over the coming year to review volunteering services at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services prior to making decisions about priorities and how best to achieve them. At this stage we anticipate the review resulting in a revised service specification with procurement commencing in late 2021. As an interim measure, prior to the implementation of the results of that review, we are offering a tender opportunity for a 12-month contract commencing 1 April 2021.
— identify and support meaningful volunteering opportunities for in-patients of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services, enabling patients to experience the benefits of volunteering;
— use a demand led recruitment approach to recruit, train and place volunteers in roles to support positive health outcomes for patients and improve the visitor experience at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services;
— support volunteers with additional barriers to volunteering to engage in the wider Lothian Health Board volunteer programme through structured time limited support.
The successful bidder will operate from a dedicated Volunteer Hub at McKinnon House at The Royal Edinburgh Hospital. Some travel within Lothian will be required.
Bidders should provide turnover data for their two most recent financial years to answer the economic and financial standing questions in the ITT found on the Public Contracts Scotland — Tender portal.
Bidders are expected to have read and understood NHS Lothian's Conditions for the provision of services which are located in the documents section of the ITT found on the Public Contracts Scotland — Tender portal.

Technical requirements: Tubular inspection services (drill pipe and drill stem elements) during drilling of a 4 500 m deep deviated well in granite. Drilling programme anticipated 150 days.
Tubular inspection services for the drilling of a 4 500 m deep deviated well in granite. The program is due to take a total of 150 days. EGL’s requirements are set out in detail in the tender documents.
All tubular and drill stem material from the drilling contractor will come with a valid DS1 Cat 4 inspection. EGL intends to perform on site an initial random picking control inspection (according to DS1 Cat 4) of about 5-10 % of the drill pipe and 15-20 % of the drill stem elements of the drilling contractor as soon as they are delivered on location. This initial random picking inspection will be at the discretion and expense of EGL. During this initial random picking inspection on site all material must qualify as double white band service. If this is not the case - at the Drilling Contractor's expense — all drill pipes must be inspected again on site according to DS1 Cat 4.
These inspections on drill pipe and drill stem elements, their timing and scope will be based on rotating hours, drilling conditions and observations of the drilling personnel. On request of EGL, such field inspections shall be performed on a call out basis at the EGL drill and test site according to API RP7G-2 (alternatively DS1 Cat 3).
A final inspection of the whole drill string and all drill stem elements of the drilling contractor according to DS1 Cat 4 will have to be performed on site after the drilling operations have been completed.
To facilitate the evaluation of this tender, EGL has created inspection packages for each of the three phases described above. These packages, which are set out in full in the tender documents, correspond to the inspection needs as anticipated for planning purposes and may deviate in practice. Please see the tender documents for information.
Bidders may propose additional optional items as they feel appropriate. These will not be considered for evaluation purposes; the 'in principle' packages set out by EGL in the tender documents will be used for evaluation.
Tenderers must formally register their interest in the tender by emailing tenders@edengeothermal.com and citing tender reference EGL-ITT-C051

Technical requirements: The Provision of Freight Services for the Supply of Personal Protective Equipment and Medical Equipment
The provision of freight services for the supply of personal protective equipment and medical equipment.
1) The consequences of not responding rapidly to the pandemic to meet the exceptional increases in demand for PPE to protect care providers and key workers, and medical products to treat patients, would be a significant excess illness and deaths in the UK.
2) Huge increases in global demand, export restrictions from various nation states all contributed to a shortage of product availability. Where product could be sourced it was imperative that this product was moved at the earliest opportunity to prevent it being sold to higher bidders.
3) The urgent need for PPE and medical products in the UK created a requirement for the fastest mode of transport. Air freight transit times were in the region of 4-5 days whereas sea freight was between 56-84 days.
4) The disruption to freight and exports from China following their lockdown and export restrictions led to the severely restricted availability of freight capacity.
5) The market for air freight was particularly disrupted by the cancellation of many scheduled passenger airline flights (removing significant air freight capacity from the market). This created a situation where there was severe lack of physical air freight capacity and dramatic cost inflation in this market.
6) No pre-existing government commercial agreements were identified which covered the nature and scale of the services required.
7) This contract was awarded to Virgin Atlantic Airways to meet a specific urgent need to transport PPE to the UK, utilising flights from Shanghai, China to the UK during November 2020.
