Technical requirements: This notice relates to the purchase of surgeons gowns for use across Northern Ireland Health and Social Care.
This notice relates to the purchase of surgeons gowns. The contracting authority has utilised Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) which provides a derogation from the obligation to competitively tender for a contract for goods or services over the EU Threshold where the works, supplies or services are required as per the below:
‘(c) Insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with.’
1) The item(s) are required to assist the contracting authority to respond to the impact of Covid-19 immediately, addressing the public health risks and disruption to services which would otherwise be incurred without them;
2) The Covid-19 pandemic is so novel that the extreme urgency of the situation was unforeseeable by the contracting authority. Ordinarily existing contractual arrangements and emergency stockpiles can be relied upon in such instances, however, in this case such provisions have proven insufficient to meet the scale of the additional demand for these items;
3) A procurement exercise to establish a new contractual arrangement would not be feasible given the time constraints, making it impossible to undertake a new procurement exercise or to access other commercial agreements.

Submission deadline: 2020-06-26
Award criteria: The most economic tender

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.
