In September 2018, Scottish Government Ministers established Social Security Scotland, a new Executive Agency of the Scottish Government. Social Security Scotland’s primary responsibility is the administration of devolved social security benefits for the people of Scotland. The Scotland Act 2016 gave the Scottish Parliament the powers to administer devolved benefits and the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 provides for types of assistance that will be created using those powers.
In order for Social Security Scotland to deliver this service, there was a requirement to build a technical solution to support the administration of the devolved benefits. The Scottish Government’s Social Security Directorate procured a technology platform to support Social Security Scotland to administer Scottish Citizens applications for welfare benefits. The technology platform is also capable of being configured to support other future associated services and integrate with existing Social Security Scotland IT systems.
Scottish Government is therefore seeking expertise from an OutSystems Strategic Partner to help develop solutions such as; but, not limited to:
1) Inform that Scottish Government is to consider an exercise to set up a contracting vehicle as described above at II.1.4), short description.
3) Identify suppliers who would like to participate in a suite of engagement MPIP intends to undertake, including a request for information exercise and larger multi-supplier engagements such as a market engagement day. These engagements are intended to influence the strategy development, including route to market options. The potential route to market options may be through either the creation of a new Scottish Government Framework, through existing Scottish Government Frameworks or Dynamic Purchasing Systems or through existing Crown Commercial Services Frameworks. The market analysis may also assist with development of the requirement and any potential Lotting strategy prior to the commencement of the formal procurement process.
Further details of supplier engagement will be made available to those registering their expressions of interest.
Potential bidders are asked to provide their expressions of interest against this PIN by COB 15/01/21. Further details of any pre-tender market engagement will be released thereafter.

Technical requirements: NHSBT have recently started a pilot undertaking the off-site sampling of potential donors, using third party vendors, to help identify suitable candidates for collection of convalescent plasma. There are plans to scale up the pilot to collect up to c7 500 units/week or up to c180 000 units over a period of 6 months.
The off-site sampling pilot includes collecting samples in existing community-based healthcare facilities (e.g. pharmacies) and posting home antibody testing kits to potential donors. A collection from home service has been considered but is not being trialled as yet.
It is anticipated that the results from the off-site sampling pilot will validate the value of the off-site sampling service. This PIN advises the market that NHSBT intends to run a tender process to engage partners to run the sampling process.
Given the time pressure to scale collection and production of convalescent plasma, there is a need to seek external partners to support the collection of blood samples from potential plasma donors off-site, to test for SARs-COv-2 IgG antibody levels using a specific 3rd party test, and provide the results to NHSBT within an agreed timeframe.
(c) via a home collection service (to be validated) and transportation of samples to an approved testing site for processing;
2) Proven experience and expertise in the industry of testing blood samples using end-to-end CE marked sampling and testing methods;
3) Ability to test samples in accordance with in EI_2606-2G_A_UK_C01.docx Version: 2020-0430 - Anti-SARS-CoV-2-NCP ELISA. We will also consider the use of a similar antibody test that provides quantitative antibody titre level results (rather than simply positive or negative antibody results);
4) A digital service wrapper which would provide a secure means to share data (including patient data and test results), source and provide sms/email/postal integrations, a patient facing microsite to carry out pre-qualification, test type preference and data opt-in, a secure integration to enable test labs to record patient sampling results, a reporting dashboard with conversion insights, and integration with follow up donations and contact centre activities.
Expressions of interest should be e-mailed to Richard Athay-Hunt by no later than 12.00 on 28 January 2021.

• data sub system: ingests and outputs media and data feeds, performs batch and real-time data processing, supplies, and stores archived data;
• compute sub system: executes models of real-world phenomena on a mixture of CPU, GPU and programmable hardware;
• network sub system: a programmable substrate for communications within the RE on the University of Bristol sites and to and from remote hubs and mobile devices.

1) The Covid-19 outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern 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.
2) A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there is adequate testing. Therefore, ensuring that the programme has procured and built an effective Laboratory information management system critical to the testing value chain.
3) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
A. As far as is strictly necessary: The laboratory information management system was identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the testing programme in the UK.
B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’ (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 1 April 2020).
D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the delivery of laboratory information management system for which the Project Jupiter labs requires to fulfil the mass testing targets. Shortened timeframes would still not have enabled a supplier to start activities at the start of November in order to achieve the required minimum viable product by late November.
E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority – DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency
